"It's Your Camp"

T-minus 4 days and counting. Can't wait, I know God is going to explode some paradigms and create some new relationship, take old ones deeper, and raise a generation that owns their faith!

Floods of '08

So here is some footage I shot while driving down the road. All of downtown is shut down. They are saying this is comparable to Katrina. Literally all of downtown is underwater. Pray for people who are losing everything. Pray that the churches in Cedar Rapids will be the church to the people of Cedar Rapids.

Grace

Grace isn't grace until it is given to someone who doesn't deserve it. Think about it, if someone wrongs you and apologizes grace is no longer there. But if someone wrongs you and never apologizes that is where grace is applied. God applied grace in my life long before I apologized and he still does it today knowing that I will make mistakes. Who in your life has wronged you and needs grace today?

13 For there will be no mercy for you if you have not been merciful to others. But if you have been merciful, then God's mercy toward you will win out over his judgment against you.
James 2:13 (NLT)

Much needed R&R

This Thursday I leave to go north with some families from church to some cabins in Wisconsin. Can't wait! It can't get here soon enough. Like most of my vacations I'm busting it to try and get all my stuff done. It's hard to focus when I know I have a break coming. Can't wait.
