A Good Time to Get Away; First Thessalonians

May the mumbling commence!

I love camp!  It is a chance to get away from the daily grind.  It is a chance to get in touch with God’s marvelous creation.  It is a chance to connect with old friends and make new ones.

God is at camp.  In fact, God is everywhere.  There is much to be joyful about in that truth.  There is much to be thankful for in that truth.

It is my prayer that we have many opportunities to pray and to worship in this unique setting.  It is my prayer that each of us will have a mountain top experience – a tiny preview of what heaven will be like.  It is also my prayer that when we leave at the end of this week that we will return slowly – and that we will take some of what we have learned with us home.

Help us, O Lord, to take our new awareness home with us so that we might be joyful always, to give thanks often, and to pray continually.  Just as it tells us in First Thessalonians chapter five.  Read it below (NIV):

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (Verses 16-18)

Enough mumbling for now…

Peace Out
