A few weeks ago me and my friend went to Urban Outfitters in Berekely and I got a sweet new shirt. Well I got it and wore it once after I got it but then after doing laundry it was just sitting in my closet, until the other day and there it was. I had totally forgot about it! Not again!! Check it out….

I have had a couple of things on my mind lately….

First, we recently had Chris Tomlin play at our church and it was an awesome event. But my heart was unsettled. I found myself worshipping with my whole heart again. Normally I have a hard time worshiping. Then I thought why is it I only feels as I am connecting with our creator through A. Playing an instrument in the worship team and B. In a all worship night. Then it hit me Focus. I lost my focus. When I am sitting as part of the congregation I am distracted. Distracted by, not perfect sound, singers that sing out of key, or a bad note. I am so focused on everything needing to be perfect that I lost sight of what I am actually worshiping…GOD. Why does it take I well know worship leader and song writer coming to my church, leading us in worship to somehow reach and make a better connection with our God? Focus. It was a focus event on worship, I need better focus.

Second, lately I have heard more conversations of what “kind” of christian we/I/me am. It seems that we are more defined by what church we go to rather than defined by what God we worship. I am “Non denominational, AG, Baptist, southern Baptist, Conservative, blah blah.” I am a christian, Christ Follower, Little Christs. We all believe in the same things but need to section ourselves off in different groups because we cannot respect how others my, preach, worship, or views on certain things. Granted some of those people take things to an extreme and invoke emotion rather than a movement or conviction form the spirit. Don’t worry I am not saying I am perfect, by all means I am not and I don’t have it figured out. I just found it odd that we have gotten so far off that we tend to mack of poke fun at different denominations. I only have noticed this because I have done it. I am guilty but the more I have thought about it the more I fell I need to stop rethink and then react to the things I may not understand.

Well that felt good to get that off my brain, sorry if it does m=not make much sense but a rambling thought comes straight from my brain to the tips of my fingers and then transfer to the keyboard. Kinda my brain throwing up. Well there you have it. Stay Classy World Wide Web.

Well we made it home and let me say I am happy to be home. After a nice hot shower I got my Haircut, ate some food and caught up on 24. I have to say it was a good weekend though. Today at the end of the last session the speaker did something I thought was rather cool. Usually at the end of a camp the staff position them selves around the room and the kids go up to them and ask for prayer. Instead he had the staff pray and go select a kid and pray and talk with them. It was an awesome thing to watch. No w that I am home it is time to get well, I am tired of being sick. Till tomorrow…you stay classy world wide web.

Well we just finished with our night session and I have to say the speaker this weekend was really good. He really challenged the kids too look at their relationships with their parent, friends, and people of the opposite sex…if you get my drift. I also have to say that I have been quite impressed with the worship team. They did an awesome job, although I know camp conditions for bands require you to be a little flexible but they did great. When they would get frustrated they would stop and pray and get refocused, they were also very interactive with the kids during meals and free time. Usually when an guest band come in they get in a mind frame as if they were above others, but they were cool. Even now I am impressed with these kids at camp. As I sit here and blog there is a group of our students behind me with a guitar worshipping. It just did not stop in the chapel. Sic! Anywho as for tomorrow I will blog when I get home or if I can before we leave but, Tomorrow is gonna go something like this. Breakfast. Worship. Teaching. Home. Although I really enjoyed camp there is nothing like going home and taking a HOT shower in your own shower in your own home and then sleeping in your own bed. Till tomorrow you stay classy world wide web.

Well when we got to camp we found the worker of Jenness scrambling around because the night before we got the it was -2 degrees and all the pipes froze and the heaters were not working. But all in all camp is cool and no that was not a pun. The kids all have great attitudes and the speaker and worship have been awesome. Last night it did get warmer…it was 12 degrees. I wore 2 pairs of socks, flannel pj pants, a thermal shirt, a sweat shirt a beanie and then my hood over that, with my super warm sleeping bag. Needless to say I was warm and after taking some nightquill…I was out. I apologized to my fellow bunk mates for the snoring. Well toady we are off the leeland snow park and the kids are gonna go sledding and play in the snow. I will be enjoyin multiple rounds of airborne and the fireplace in the lodge. Well till later stay classy world wide web. Seacrest out!
