Wow...I can't believe that it has been over 20 days since I have written a Blog. I have to admit that I have been pretty busy. Life happens. It seems like the summer time comes upon me like a roaring wind. One minute you are meandering along in Spring Time, the next minute the fury of Summer activites hit you.
I had the privilege of going to church camp this week with my family. If you were to ask me last week if it was a privilege, I would have told you that I was as nervous as all get out. I have three wonderful children that I love very much. However, I can tend to be a little stiff and rigid sometimes when it comes to children's ministry activities. I have never been the kind of guy to sing the crazy songs with the hand motions, or to jump up and down. I can't say that I did much of that this week, but I thoroughly enjoyed church camp. There was definitely a part of me that broke out of my shell.
This was a summer camp like none I have ever seen. It wasn't on some property that was rustic with very little amenities. No, it is called Centri Kid camps, and they are held all over the US. The one that we went to was held at Georgetown College. Just because it does not have a big lake with a bouncing platform, didn't mean the kids didn't have fun. It was action packed the whole day. There was Baseball, Flag Football, Drama, Dancing, Sign Language, Weird Science, Art, Wet & Wild, Splish Splash, Volleyball, Soccer, Praise Team, etc... The list goes on and on with all of the activities. Best of all, there was great worship and teaching time. Lifeway and the Baptists have put a lot of thought into making a great camp experience.
Best of all, I got to spend a week with my whole family. The kids loved it and Amy and I loved it. This is not to say that I am not looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight. I also am very much looking forward to not having to wear my Crocs into the shower tonight. As for the ministry aspect, I pray that hearts were transformed and lives changed this week for Christ. I know that the seeds were planted, may His Holy Spirit draw and convict these young boys and girls...
