We had revival at our church last week with Evangelist Hal Hightower. All the messages were amazing, and God spoke to my heart every night. There is one message in particular that I wish EVERY Christian could hear. It was titled "God Bless America". You might be able to hear it on our churches website www.biblebaptistxenia.com. We as Christians need to realize that we can have revival in our nation, but it starts with you and with me!!
II Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Summer in a nutshell!
Well, I haven't posted in quite some time. I told you I would be bad at this. Oh well! Here goes. I will give you an idea of our summer in a nutshell!
First, we redid our bathroom, huge project! But it looks great now and there is NO MORE WINDOW in the shower!!! :) Yay! There are still a few minor touch-ups, but it seems like when you do a big project that once you get over the big hump you lose steam to finish. That is sort of what happened and then we sort of got REAL busy, as you will see.
Second, we took our youth group to a new camp this summer, Mount Moriah Christian Camp in Knoxville, TN. The camp was started by Temple Baptist Church and is affiliated with Crown College. We had NO idea what to expect! I hate going into things not know what is going to go on, or having an idea of what to expect. But it was AWESOME!!! We had 14 teens go, which is the largest group we have taken in our 3 years of working with them. They have two types of camps, regular and high adventure. We decided to do the high adventure this year. It was a blast!!! We got to mountain bike on Tues. (well, the teens and Scott did, I stayed at camp :D), tube on Wed., and white water raft on Thurs. It was a LOT of fun! The teens really enjoyed themselves. The speakers were great too!! They really got our teens attention, and we had all make at least one decision. I can't wait to do it again next year, but maybe not the high adventure...that was exhausting!! :)
Third, as soon as we returned from camp, we started working on our first annual youth rally!! It was a lot of hard work being our first year. There was lots of building to do, an obstacle course, a racing simulator, and few other minor things. We had lots of great help, and the day turned out great!!! Now we are already planning for next year!
And then summer was over, and it was time for school to start...that will be another post for another day perhaps!
