Weddings and more...

This weekend I able to be part of a wedding of two of my good friends, Todd and Rachel. It was a very pretty wedding. I will post pics in a few weeks when I have my camera back.
Trevor came down for the wedding and it was so good to see him. He finally met Claudette this weekend. We also went to Six Flags yesterday and had a blast. We rode the major rides two or three times. It was hard to come back and now I have pack. Have you ever noticed how when you pack a couple of boxes, you realize how much more you have to go? I only work 7 more nights, though and I have so much to do before Saturday the 9th.

Water Day!

Today I went with Joy and Jessica to the Herman Park, where we visited the mini waterpark. I would have pics but am glad I left my camera at home since it poured later on this afternoon. On our way to Casa Ole we hit a huge storm, complete with hail, winds, and blinding rain. In the news article highlighted, we were about 5 minutes down the road from Bellaire. Been a good day indeed.

Anger, fear, agression....

Yes I lost my temper at work Sunday morning. Not really upset at what I said (probably needed to be said) but the circumstances and atttitude I said them under. I need to stay in the presence of Jesus so outbursts like this dont happen.
So in repentence I helped with VBS tonight. Not really, I was gonna do that anyway. I enjoyed the 1st and 2nd graders. I went to lunch again with a most trusted friend, thanks Gail. Even though I am ready to move on (mainly because of work) to Oklahoma. I will miss everyone but I need an extended break from work (which this week is sort of).
And most of all I finally was able to talk to the person I enjoy the best, Trevor Taylor. I had missed getting to have a conversation with that man. I miss him too so much.

Let it rain down....

Here is my picture diary of Student Life Camp at Stephen F Austin in Nacogdoches, Tx. I was a sponsor, along with the youth minister, Ralph Todd for 14 students, junior high and high school. I learned and laughed so much this week. I was reminded of what worship is (Romans 12:1-2). No, its not just about the songs, its about life. It was a packed week but we all had a blast, learning about unfailing love through lessons on Hosea, Jeremiah, and Joseph. We learned about the lives of Martin Luther, Lottie Moon, Oswald Chambers. What an amazing week! Just ask any of the campers who went to camp. Just don't ask Ralph about his angels' wings! ( A funny story about a man in the wrong conversion at the wrong time).

Church of the Day

Student Life selected College Park as the "church of the day" on Thursday. For more info, check out www.studentlifecamp.com and go to family and friends, Stephen F Austin and the story is under church of the day 3. I am not sure how long the site will be up though.

Todd Agnew

worship, led by Todd Agnew
This guy was awesome. He taught us about how worship is life and not just singing and how to really think about what you are saying in songs.

Action News Live

This was a funny little segment in the opening session of camp every day. These two reported the news at camp, the funny things and pictures that campers submitted. The guy always said, "If its not a fro...it's gotta go!"

Puzzles can be addicting

Sara and I work on a puzzle at the Mission Site with a resident. We found the puzzle rather addicting....

Jessica and Maddie

Jessica and Maddie pose for a picture at the Mission Site. Most of the youth went here in the afternoons to work at this assisted living center in Nacogdoches where we visited with the residents and did whatever manual labor was needed.

Joy

The evil twins

I named these girls the evil twins since they showed affection to each other by beating on each other.

Flaming fagots....

I must explain...and quick! This is where we met ( look at the picture from the left side and its supposed to be vertical) for family group time. You see there is an ongoing joke about the other and older meaning of fagot. A fagot is a "bundle of twigs or sticks"according to the dictionary( not what you are thinking it means). So the joke goes that just as fagots are ignited for fire, we, at College Park are ignited for Jesus. Flaming Fagots for JESUS!

Check out our camp spirit! Jessica, Melissa (not picured here), and I bought awesome socks for camp.
