Young Life Camp

I found Jesus! Yeah! It's about time, and I wish I found Him sooner. Young Life is designed to present and teach the youth about Jesus Christ. I didn't have to sit in a boring church for hours or decipher the scriptures. There was none of that. There was real people who could relate to me with real problems.

The camp was fun in a lot of other dimensions as well. We climbed a mountain, participated in basketball tournaments throughout the day, we did a huge obstacle course in the woods, and had one of the largest pillow fights in history! We did a lot more things as well, like riding down the side of a mountain on a mountain bike at +40 mph.

I highly recommend any and everyone to attend a Young Life Camp at least once in their life time. The camp leaders told me when I first arrived, this week at camp would be the best week of my life. ..If you could take the most fun moment of your life and multiply it by 10, you'd have the equivalent of being at a Young Life Camp for 2 seconds.

A Real Vacation

Every year I go on vacation. Most Americans do too. Last year I traveled to New York, Connecticut, and Virginia. That may not seem like much, but any where North outside of the South is a vacation to me. All last week, I was with my God sisters and brothers at a Young Life camp in Jonesboro, Georgia. Jonesboro is a small town in the mountains of Georgia about an hour outside of Atlanta.

For a whole week, I experienced the most serene hours of my life. I can recall sitting on the front porch of the cabin in a rocking chair. In front of me was a view that no camera could capture. I remember how the morning dew nesting on the green mountains could settle my mind almost into slumber.. I FELT PEACE! My mind was QUIET! I didn't think about stress, family problems, or the business. Nope! In fact, those thoughts didn't even come up!

I can't explain those mornings in the mornings, but I do know past noon when everyone was up and alive, the days got even better. By noon, I had the opportunity of networking with over 500 other people. It was a lot of fun. A Real Vacation.
