Well, here we go again! Another week in beautiful San Diego, Ca. It's my blessing to be able to have the largest group of high school students going to summer camp that I've ever had in my 25 years of working with students. We have 60 kids and 10 staff people here to love on kids with the love of Jesus this week.

I'm so excited to see what God is going to do this week!

Just some random thoughts...

Greatful to share the experience with our friends from The Church At Arrowhead. Curt has a great group of kids and staff. Got to meet his wife Heidi for the first time finally after knowing him for nearly 5 years.

The ocean breeze is awesome! I made sure to set all of our staff with rooms facing the ocean, and about the students...

The opener was absolutely awesome! Hume has taken their game up yet another notch.

The theme this year is Excusez Mua...and will deal with getting ourselves out of the way.

Be praying for Brad Bell, this weeks main speaker, that God would use him in a mighty way

Missed my son a lot today, being father's day and all...at least I got to hug him before I left early this morning...and yes, definitely missing my wife, partner, and best friend of over 20 years too

Had a "guys only" meeting tonight before going off to lights out...challenged them in all phases of this week to represent Christ, even those guys that aren't Christians (yet!)

Prayers for Kyle who stayed home sick this morning would be appreciated. We're hoping he can make it by Tuesday...he was actually on the bus and had to get picked up by his family...bummer...

I'm being kept awake by a group of guys in the lower building, about 50 yards away...wish the Lead Counselors here would keep them quiet...lights out was hour and a half ago...

well...first full day of camp tomorrow...can't wait!

feel free to leave a comment, always nice to know if anyone is reading :)

Awesome! We miss you! We know God is doing great things in the lives of these teens! This week will go by so fast and I pray that the encouragement and conviction of the Holy Spirit will change these young lives forever....old lives too...ha ha!
