Following Our Founding Fathers

I received a text yesterday that said, “I know the Bible says that we are free from sin, but sometimes I wonder.  I think I am incapable of resisting *insert sin here*.”  The Bible verse they are referencing is John 8:31-32,36, “Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. 32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.  36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”  Jesus died on the cross to set us free from our sins, so those that follow Him are free from that bondage.  Yet sin is a constant struggle in our lives.

The Start of Something Great

Summer camp starts next Monday.  For me, this year will be a little bit different from previous years.  I’ve spent the last nine months helping create a camp from scratch.  This will be the first summer of Camp Trinity’s existence.  It has been an incredible journey that will become very real on Monday.  A lot of blood, sweat, and tears has gone into making this camp a reality.

The End of an Era

Almost six and a half years ago I moved into Lundy Dr.  In preparation for getting married this fall, I will be moving out tomorrow.  It is a bittersweet moment.  There are many memories I will take from my time at Lundy Dr.  From the moment Timmy and I moved in (not many people remember that Timmy was my first roommate here) to now has been quite the journey.
