ahhhhh the joys of camp

how I miss walking down the gravel road

headin' to the dining hall or Garrett

or whatabout walking "home" to the cabin after camp fire---isn't that the best?

the people in your cabin, and the relationships you build with everyone, and most of all the relationships you build with God

Giving to the poor

sorry....(not really, sorry that is)

YET another post about the homeless.

C'mon people WHERE was Jesus? Who was he with?
Where did He hang?

with the poor.

sure it's their fault right?
I mean why else are they poor in AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL? Huh? Why?
If they can't get rich here they must be sluggards.....right?
(read major sarcasm throughout this post)
STOP!
STOP!
No....really....stop-

the homeless, the fake homeless and the poor of the world.

Please, please start to see them...Our Saviour not only saw them, but lived with them can't we at least give to them?
please
just a little
for your sake?

Tonite I sleep in lower Garrett

NOTICE THE WORLD SERIES PHILLIES HAT IN THE PIC??
I am up @ Manatawny with a fire going in lower Garrett. I am playing my guitar a little bit and reading my bible in preparation for tomorrow's board meeting. I brought my tent to sleep outside, but came in Garrett instead....I love sleeping in Garrett hall. There is something peaceful about it.
Tomorrow is part of the annual DVCC board meeting. We met tonight as well and did what you do at meetings---talk and listen.
I much prefer action then meetings, but I guess to some extent meetings are important to figure out what the action should be...as long as that's what we do, figure out the action and then do it I am fine with meetings.

Tomorrow I make a presentation-

1,000 CAMPERS

that is THE goal

ONE THOUSAND CAMPERS IN 2009

The truth of the matter is....I am counting on YOU!

Each and everyone of you to help.

Are you game?

Are you in?

then---

pray pray pray pray pray pray pray pray pray pray

and don't stop

till our prayer is answered

the WORD

“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua 24:15

I recently visited a church far, far away in Pacific Grove, California and then I had recently visited another church two hours north of my home.

I get the same thing everywhere in these churches......they "talk the talk" of scripture---AMEN?
Sure AMEN!

But I think to myself....we all talk this talk of scripture, but do we walk the walk?

Do we actually and truly serve the Lord or do we just say we do?

It would be a no, no to accuse either of these churches or even my own church of being nothing, but words of the bible, but yet, this is what I think....they have the scripture down and they preach it aloud and they hold each other to it---

But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.
Book of James

Church you cannot ever get enough scripture and we NEED the word of God in our lives constantly, but we also need to be doers. We need to put action behind the words of God.
God expects it and demands it of us....

How do people know you are a Christian, a believer other then by your words?

Proverbs 6:30-32

do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry;

The thief mentioned above is stealing; why?
Is he stealing out of greed or need?

The verse continues on....
But when he is found, he must repay sevenfold; He must give all the substance of his house.

Ok....makes sense...right?
The verse continues on saying that if "one" commits adultery that he is lacking sense and that he destroys himself.

I see a classic case here.....the poor who beg and steal to live and survive we pass judgment upon and the wealthy who hurt and steal and cause corruption do so out of greed, but I am not so sure we see them as much of a sinner as the one who steals to survive.

Jesus was with the poor quite a bit
There's a reason why
