Long Time?

Yes, it's true... enough said...

Just to give a quick update. It's pretty simple... The first half of the month was a blur and the second was relatively uneventful. That's the short and sweet.

CCI Update...

For a graphically appealing/magazine type update I suggest checking out our online newsletter at http://www.childrenscampsinternational.com/images/hopeupdatemagazine.pdf. There's some neat stories and updates in there and we look forward to putting a publication like this out more often (as there's been a real positive response).

In the office (and overseas) we're still pushing toward some lofty goals for year end and it's exciting to see God constantly accomplish the impossible. Over the past couple weeks we've seen exciting answers to prayer... just when it seemed that what we felt God called us to do this year was way out of reach (and we were ready to resign ourselves to the "next year") then God pours out His provision and puts those goals... just beyond our finger tips. So they're not quite in reach yet... does that mean we pray harder or work harder... The Sunday School answer is obviously pray, while the human nature says work... That makes me laugh... I wonder if God finds us as funny as I do? This day by day, trusting God thing... balanced with faithfully working with all your strength... is it a balance we ever figure out? (That's when I laugh and think... sure... then you die!)

So life is good... Lots and lots of laughs!

THE FAMILY

I should really post a picture of our cute little dancer. Janae just started dance lessons and it was quite fun to watch. She truly is a dancer at heart... but seemed to dance to a difference beat then the rest of the class... don't give in to peer pressure sweetheart! Be your own person!
