What Would You Do Over

This past year we heard an excellent message from Pastors Eric an Craig about living our lives without regret.  As a precursor and illustration to this message, Pastor Craig recorded what some of you wished you could do over.  Many of these stories are powerful and have had a significant impact on the people telling them.  While watching the video ask yourself:

“How are you doing in living out the message heard at camp this year?  Are you living a life that you won’t regret later?”

Why we do what we do: Teaching

Raise your hand if you hate Math class.  Sure math was fun in elementary school when you learned about addition with the help of M & M’s or fractions with little pizza diagrams, but now that you are in high school, math sucks.  At least it did for me.  I dreaded having to sit through class, work on problem after problem, all while trying understand the foreign language coming out of my teacher’s mouth.  I think I hated math so much because I just didn’t understand it.

Top Ten Things To Get You Through The Winter

It is the middle of winter.  Somehow the endless amounts of snow, the cold weather, and  the flu like symptoms  just won’t go away.  Parents, teachers, and even friends are about to drive you past the point of no return.  I bet you are longing for those warm summer days beside the cool sparkling lake.  Do you have the desire to share your thoughts about God; your hurts; dreams; and struggles; with people who will listen?  Does the thought of breaking a sweat while playing a stupid game bring those warm fuzzy feelings?  Ok so maybe not that scenario, but when it comes down to it you miss camp.
