camp

just got back from camp!!! wh00t! it RAWKED. our speaker, Brandon Barnard, was GREAT. this wasn't one of those get-high-and-all-encouraged-about-how-great-God-is (though he IS great!) camps, it was a lets-find-out-how-to-live-our-faith-in-a-practical-way camps... a lot of issues came up, but hey, when God sculpts us, things in our life have to fall off for us to become more like Him.

one thing i learned at camp is how important it is to memorize scripture. i always memorize scripture, just cuz its the right thing to do i guess. but its best to do it cuz you WANT to. you need to, to fight off the flaming arrows from the devil (check out Ephesians 6:11-18).

another kewl way brandon used to relate God's Word to our lives is daily bible reading. of course i always try to read my bible every day (right now i'm reading through Matthew), but sometimes it doesnt always sink in. he told us about a thing called the James Challenge. what you do is read James chapter 1 every day for a week. then you read James 2 every day for a week, working your way through all 5 books of James. it sounds really cool, and our sunday school class is doing it as a group this week.

well i have a TON still to write, but i g2g. WRITE MORE L8R!
