Live from Jr-High Alive!

We’re still at Beulah Jr-High Alive the week has been good. It was hot one day; it rained a good portion of one day; but worship has been second to none. Harvest is providing the music and as usual Tim and the gang are doing a great job. John Brumfiel is our guest preacher and he has hit the target with his messages to the kids and adults in attendance. He has challenged and stretched each of us. There have been games, workshops, and as in the past, an abundance of food and snacks. Today we are going swimming and everyone is looking forward to that! But the best part of camp, I believe, is the time of reacquainting with those I’ve met in the past…both adults and campers. In fact, this year I was reintroduced to two campers who I had not seen for at least 6 years when I was the pastor at Shattuc UMC. These two kids have grown into young adults and it was a joy to see them again, even though I was reminded how old I must be getting. Oh well, it’s back to camp to see what type of mischief some are brewing up (without me)! I will be posting routinely next week...I promise.

Isn't it interesting how those 'youth' can grow up into 'adults', but we just stay them same age?
