Opp Camp

I love being here at Opp Camp and I am truly enjoying being with all these kids! There is truly something beautiful about just loving people unconditionally the way Jesus taught us! We often think this means being nice, but there is much more to it than that. We are taught to set boundaries and yet so many of us don't want to follow our own boundaries we set for ourselves. The reality of this is truly that God set boundaries for us because He loves us and because we love each other we set boundaries and limits on each other and others who claim to live this way. It brings to mind the question though, why do we buck the boundaries so hard? Why can we not accept the boundaries God set for us, let alone the ones our parents or bosses (for some of you now, and all of you later). We try to claim the passage from Matthew 7 as a cover for our unwillingness to stay within the boundaries outlined from God. How can we claim to love God but not respect the boundaries set for us? Just some interesting observations from this week, in watching kids who most likely don't have boundaries at home and seeing them live up to the boundaries set by us here at camp. This doesn't mean they're perfect but it is cool to see them respecting what is firmly upheld.

Dutch Thursdays

So here's what Dutch Thursdays means...Sarah and I are going to go to a restaurant that is chosen beforehand and communicated to you, and we will wait there and eat with whoever shows up! The reason its dutch is cause you need to bring money for your meal, but we can meet and hang out for a bit while we eat and just enjoy the fellowship...

So this thursday, June 4th we are going to be at Fuddruckers at 5:30pm.

See ya there!
