Week 3 2010

June 29
Rifle Range!! Everyone is having a great week. A funny thing happened on this day at the range. I was told that several rabbits made their way down range of campers!! With much eagerness they wanted to take aim at the "real" targets. I was proud of our counselors who more than likely really wanted to take a shot themselves but they kept the rabbits alive. What would make a rabbit just wander out onto the range while the shooting is taking place. I think maybe they have become accustomed to the noise and now see no threat. It is a great reminder that we all can become accustomed to the noise and sounds of the world and the sin that surrounds us and so much so that we just wander into the most dangerous areas of life.

Last day for week 3. It is so incredible to watch as community forms at camp over such a short period of time with one another. Campers arrived just four days ago and they have formed relationships that for some will last a life time. I am reminded that we are not created to be alone. It was not good for Adam and neither is it good for us to be alone. Our time together is short but I believe it to be God's time and not our own. Our Lord created the universe with his word and in a moment can bring something from nothing. It is this same power that I trust in during our short time together. God can completely save and recreate someone in an instant if He so desires. It is trust that develops over the course of the week that fosters relationship. I believe the same is true of our relationship with Christ. If you and I fail to really trust him....then our relationship will be limited! However, if we fully rely on Him, trust Him in all areas of our life then our relationship grows. Trust Him! I promise He is more than capable to catch you!
