CampZing
Winter is over, Spring is here. You know what that means? It means it is time to get off my duff and get this blog rocking again, and to get all my camp work done in a couple months. Yee-Haw.

CampZing
This one showed up a year or two ago. I had it on my computer but was running low on space, and well sacrifices were made. I still laugh my butt off when I see this.

Mokiki's sloppy swish is one of my faves this year and will likely show up at camp. I suspect that they'll be doing it all week. Woo.

CampZing
I wanna start posting a new series. I'm gonna call it "Videos I should maybe show at camp perhaps maybe but I dunno really." I'll work on the name though. If I come across something funny I'm gonna post it. ZING.

Who are we now?
Romans 12:1-8
Who are we exactly? Not just who are we, but also who do we want to be?
If you are a Christ follower then the answer is very simple, but results may vary.
Very simply you are one who first wants to follow Christ. By thinking and acting in a similar way.
Being passionate about the things Jesus was passionate about and not letting other distractions get in your way.
Over the centuries we see people who stand out as prime examples of this singular desire. They stand out because when when the world says hate they say love.
When the world says give up they press on.
They are unique because the life of Jesus is not an old old story to them. It is something that they wanted to live too. Not only wanted to live but did live.
They believed that when Jesus said love your enemy he actually meant it.
When Jesus said you are the salt and the light to the world, that they should go and bring flavor to life and brighten it up for everyone around them.
They understood that when they took care of the kind of people that have trouble taking care of themselves that they were really serving Jesus.
For them life was not glamourous but it was significant.
They took their one life to live and instead of 'Going big' they said "Lord let me minister"
If you are Christian you are here to Worship the Lord and Minister to others.
That may sound bleak to some with "big plans".
But not to worry, ministry can take you all over the world to experience and encounter things you would never dream of. Ministry is an adventure that never stops.
This is what Paul was saying. "You have gifts, whatever they are use them and use them for ministry."
Using your gifts for ministry might take you around the world or they might take you down the street. There is no telling, but there is always a need. If you are open to putting those things first and make that what matters there will be no disappointing.
