Where Ya Been?

Well, I know it's been awhile and the question has arose.  Where have you been?

Simple...taking a break.  Cyndi and I took a quick trip up to Gatlinburg, TN this past week.  Why in the world would we do that?  Well, besides the fact that I love going to the Mountains!  I really seem to connect deeper with God when I am in the mountains, but that wasn't the main reason.  

I have family from Tennessee (specifically Dayton) and mostly from Indiana and so Gatlinburg is a bit of a central, half way, point for all of us to meet.  And so my parents, my brother and sister, my favorite cousins, my aunt, my cousins' cousin, and Cyndi and I had a mini family reunion.  

It was an incredible time!  We laughed a lot, stayed up way to late, and ate way too much!  But it was well needed.  I love my family and I just love the fact that they seem to like my bride way more than me :)

So that's where we have been and why its been awhile.  SNAP BACK TO REALITY!

Camp 08 Highlight...Jr. High Week

Okay, here is the highlight video for Camp Edisto's 2008 Jr. High Camp.  Be sure to check out YouTube later on for the alternative ending version :)

Arrrrrrrrrre Yoooooooooooouuuu Rrrrrrrrrrrreaaaadyyy?

I've always been told, the longer you wait the better patience you develop.  Or anticipation makes the heart grow fonder...

Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys & girls...children of all ages!  It's Finished!  That's right the Jr. High week camp video is complete and in the process of being uploaded to YouTube.  However, just so you can sweat a little longer, I will post the video up here THIS EVENING!  

And just so you know, an alternative "special guest appearance" ending will be posted later on this next week.  So be on the look out for a good friend of mine and yours from Branchville...

My Heart

Recently, I have had to have some very challenging conversations with some awesome individuals.

And after these conversations, I've come to realize how awesome people are.  Seriously, God has some amazing children that He loves with everything He created!

I've also realized that we (as Believers) have got to do something about reaching this generation.  NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES, we've got to reach this generation.  They are hurting, confused and even scared!

God has great plans and wants each person to fulfill their potential.

Anyway, just a few thoughts for this evening.

Kicked Off with This

Here is the video that we kicked off Jr. High Week with.

Highlight Video Update

Hey there campers,

I wanted to give you an update about the highlight video from camp...the plan is to have it completed and posted by the end of the week.  I'm working as fast as I can to go through all of the footage and to put together a great highlight of the awesome week we just had.

Keep checking back!

A Brief Look Back at Jr. High Week 2008

Tough Questions

Coming Soon...

What an amazing week at Camp Edisto's Jr. High week of camp!

Coming very soon will be the videos from the week, so be on the look out!

What if the Church was ONE?

What a revolutionary thought... I mean Jesus prayed that we as His followers would be united.

What could we accomplish? Do you think we could terminate world hunger? How about providing relief for orphans?

Wow, what a prayer!

The Countdown Begins

One of my favorite things to do is go to concerts.  Seriously!  I love music and I love the atmosphere at concerts!  My sister went to a Kanye West concert in Detroit a few weeks ago and I really wish I could have been with her.  

But tonight officially marks the countdown until Cyndi and I go and see her favorite band/artist: DAVE MATTHEWS BAND.

They are performing here in Charleston at our baseball stadium, and I cannot wait.  It will be my first DMB concert.  ONE MONTH!  4th of July...Independence Day, is the day we will be jammin'!
