So Doe River Gorge was a great experience, a spiritual high, an incredible time of growth. This morning we talked about what to do after you have a really good week of spiritual growth and than you get back to normal life. Remember that it's kind of like jumping off of a high dive. You get a great thrill when you jump but when you hit the water, you have to swim. Since you guys are back from a thrilling time spiritually, you must realize that you have to keep it going...keep swimming, keep working on your commitment to Christ. Every day is a new day and a chance to commit that day to following Christ. Spend time reading God's Word, spend time praying and communicating with God. If you develop these disciplines, you will continue to grow in your love for Christ. I am excited to see how this past week will impact you guys for the rest of your lives! Don't let it end...keep on swimming!

check out this cool poem :-p
BUTT PRINTS IN THE SAND
One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there was seen,
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some strange prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
Those prints are large and round and neat,
"But Lord, they are too big for feet."
"My child," He said in somber tones,
"For miles I carried you along.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait."
"You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of faith, you would not know,
So I got tired, I got fed up,
And there I dropped you on your butt."
"Because in life, there comes a time,
When one must fight, and one must climb,
When one must rise and take a stand,
Or leave their butt prints in the sand."
