In the eighth grade, I learned of something called Acrostic, which is a type of poetry. The simplest form of Acrostic is taking a topic word and creating a poem using each letter in the word. For instance, the old and best acrostic for Ford is “Found on road dead.” So, I was thinking this morning about the word religion. I hate this word with a passion, and to mark my hatred I wanted to create an acrostic for it. … →
Today is Camp Robinson Clean-Up Day. Bridgett took her youngest brother, her nephew, and Lexi (a Beyond Youth student) with her to help clean up the camp prior to Teen Week, which is next week. There’s a lot of work to do, but from what I’ve been told a lot of people were coming to help. Good thing, too.

We kicked off the new Kid Zone yesterday, and it was a huge success. The kids really loved the new praise and worship music, … →

This post by Adam Mclane has been all shaken up. Since reading it, I’ve been thinking of the small things I could be doing to help the people in my community. More importantly, I’m thinking about why I’m not doing them. No, I can’t do everything, nor should I try, but I can do something right? Even if that something is small. Especially if it doesn’t take much effort. Small things. That’s all it takes to make a difference. So, … →
