The Camp

One day, I signed up for a camp. Now, this camp wasn't just a simple 'pitch your tent up and roast a hotdog or two. This camp was something much more. In fact, to many people, this camp was home. This camp was a retreat, a getaway from the world. When you were cast down and ignored, you couldn't walk around this place without getting a 'Hey! How was your day?' Your cabin becomes your home, your counselor, your parent, and you launch into the week, ready for anything. You stay up till 2:00 a.m. and wake up 5 hours later. You go to bible class, learning about guilt, or spiritual discipline, and even talking to people about God. And, in some cases, you even rolled around on the ground and looked at calenders. We cried together, killed each other with waterballoons, and laughed until we hurt. We sang, prayed, and devoed under the gazeebo. We wittnessed people giving their souls to God, and we accepted them as the brothers and sisters that they are. And most of all, we found out who really was The Biggest Loser. We made relationships, and got drenched. Some of us lost weight, and alot of people became skinny. Some of us have still weight, but are still deciding on letting it go. But we all left knowing that we all loved each other like a huge family. From telling everyone who I really was and how I really felt about things, to getting destroyed in the face with a waterballoon launcher by Camryn Johnson, to Pushing Erin on the swing and just chillin, I can honestly say, that Sardis Lake Christian Camp is home, and that a lot of people feel the exact same way. Peace out guys.

SKOOL

As the school year is winding down to a close, make sure that all teachers are equally pranked and water ballooned. Make sure that the project you didn't finished, is completed, and the person that hates you gets a free lunch. That's all for today. Also, I will be doing next weeks SNL at the church, so be there if you want!

The Point

A man that was mad at God decided that he would ascend Mount Everest and ask God what his problem was. After weeks of perilous travel, he finally reached the top. "God!," exclaimed the man, "I am sick of you never answering me! Every time I pray, it seems like you don't even care, and nothing happens! If you are so high and mighty, why don't you actually answer me for once?!?!" The man, exhausted from his tirade, fell to his knees and calmed himself. At this time, the cold seemed to drift away and he became hot. He took off his jacket and his gloves and his boots. He leaned against a rock, and a voice said, "You yelled?" The man almost jumped out of his shirt. God! He had finally came! Now he could finally get some answers! But all he could say was"Well.....I......uh....." God merely smiled and said, "Its okay. I get that a lot. Now, I understand that you are angry with me. I know why, but I would like to here it from you." And so the man began to ask his questions. Why did God let his parents die? Why did God let his company go bankrupt? Why did God let his house burn down? God listened quietly without interruption. He, of course, all ready knew this was going to happen. So, as his hobby, decided to make this a parable. "Okay Jack, listen. You climbed this mountain didn't you? You faced the weather, the cold, and the wild. You lost precious equipment, like fresh water, your thermal clothes. They were of up most importance. Like your parents. But would you give up? Would your parents want you to? I know they wouldn't. You ask why I let your parents pass away? The pain from their lung cancer became unbearable for them. I let them die, so that they wouldn't hurt anymore. When you got to the middle of the mountain, a storm came through and blew away your bag of personal items, like your wallet for instance. I didn't let you go bankrupt. You became to greedy with yourself, and spent it on entertainment and other things that weren't as important others, such as insurance and bills. Your campfire's flames blew towards your tent while you were gathering fire wood nearby, and burnt it down. I didn't let your house burn down, you were to careless to put your fire pits out, or your fireplace. And when you were at the highest point in your life, you hit rock bottom. And now, you blame me. Typical I guess. I mean, you aren't the first to do this." God kind of looked off into the distance at that time. Jack, the man, was crying with shame and finally realized that to fix a problem, you have to admit that its not everyone else's fault sometimes.
