Super Summer 2010!

Here's some of Reality Check that went to camp. There was 25 of us.

Me and Paige with our friend, Kevin, from the band Rush of Fools. We had lunch with him and something he said was this: "Jesus plus something equal nothing."

My friend, Nick, killed a bug. He was one of the 7th graders that came along in place of my brother, Andrew.

Me and my friend, Desiree.

The drummer, Jamie, who was absolutely amazing! He was one of the two guys we got to have the devotion with.

The zip-line-fun, but scary. When you got to the top, it was so shaky.

Me and my cousin, Will, by the big bell.

Our speaker, Jamie. One of my favorite things he said was, "If Jesus doesn't fulfill, it's not because he's not satisfying, but because we have an improper appetite."

The theme of Super Summer 2010!

Yesterday I got back from going to camp (Super Summer) with my youth group. I had a great week! We had team water games, an amazing band (Rush of Fools), deep conversations, great messages, and scary obstacle courses and high ropes! The theme of the week was Journey: How to get from here to there. In our chapel twice a day, we learned about the Israelites journey to the promised land and Peter's journey of following Jesus. The team games required team effort and speed and, though we lost, we had a great time being the Orange Beasts! My youth group also had the chance to have a devotion with a couple guys from the band, Kevin and Jamie, two talented and amazing followers of Christ. On top of that, I also got to have lunch with Kevin. On Thrusday night, the last night at the camp, we had an reflective service where we wrote down what God had been teaching us or what we wanted to lay down at the foot of the cross. When we were finished, we went to put it on the cross. I also really enjoyed the group that went. Friday morning we had KP (Kitchen Patrol) duty where we worked in the kitchen, serving good, refilling people's drinks, and cleaning up. I handed out danishes and muffins and told people it would change their life (yeah, I had fun!). One guy was like, "Ya, I'll take it if it'll change my life!!!" Events like this are always great to get to know and connect with people better. It was a great and encouraging time!
