SPLURG!
So, after like almost 3 years of thinking in the back of my head "I want a pair of Boots" but i'm not one to be impulsive, or want to have to buy anything over 8 dollars (it's the scottish blood), but i have FINALLY hauled off and gotten a pair of the boots of my dreams
Yep, that's right, I'm awesome. I bet you want to hang out with me now.

Must... Take... Action!
Sooo, I've had to make a decision quickly to haul myself off to Camp Arnold to be the Craft Director (in Washington div.). Not, however, without many hours of prayer, thinking, consulting, weighing in the course of 3 days. I'm leaving quite a bit behind here, though I can see where the LORD has put people in place to replace a number of things I'm leaving behind, but have realized also, that I can't possibly weigh properly what blessings I am going to. I'm also thinking that I'd rather be able to say "maybe i should've stayed, but I'm glad I'm here, and I know the LORD will use me" rather than, "Well shoot, I should've gone" I don't know when I'll have the opportunity to get out to that coast again after all and not really making a decision essentially makes a decision to not go.
I'm reminded during this time, of a dream I had long ago. I was sitting with my bike on the side of the road in pitch black, darkness, hardly able to see an armslength in front of me. Sitting because I couldn't see the road ahead to continue, and asking...,
"LORD, what do I do? I can't see where to go."
"You have to trust in me and start pedaling and I'll steer for you."

70 year old super hero
So, my father just had heart surgery yesterday. Where you know they saw open the sternum, crank open the rib cage a good 7 inches, cut into various tissues to get to the heart, then cut into the heart to get the troubled vein(s) not conveniently just sitting on top of the heart mind you, sew an artery that they took out of some other part of your body to bypass (hence the name of the surgery) the blockage, sew it all back up, and then super-glue your chest together. That's right I said super-glue!
My father is 70 years old, and recovering like a 50 year old so say the nurses. No sooner did they take the breathing tube out of the old man 5-6 hours after the surgery, did he start telling blonde jokes - and to the blonde nurses i might add! And humming classical music. The next morning he proceeded to scarf down a whole plate of food and cup of coffee. Patients just having had this done aren't supposed to really be able to talk till like the next day. I'm convinced that this is a testimony of the LORD's great love and His Spirit in us.
I'm glad he blesses through the generations!
-Champ out!

Sunday School!
Trying to expose my "teens" at the corps to the Bible stories many of us grew up with which laid such a foundation (i.e. Moses, Israelites, Jericho, Samuel hearing the YHWH in the middle of the night, King Saul, King David, the basics really). We've been reading a bit of 1 Samuel, and the other day I was reading 1 Samuel 15 in particular, the end, and the LORD was really painting a picture for me here. Saul is (as it has been shown to me) perhaps stammering "B-but I did obey the LORD" Samuel is giving the the word from the LORD "...Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king." and then Saul, devastated, the king blubbering in tears surely, on his hands and knees reaching desperately for Samuel not to turn away from him. The scene truely breaks my heart.
For some reason (Danielle said it best I think "We all suck") I'm having to remember how to be obedient, and I see (perhaps again) just what a great amount that has to do with hearing His voice.
