Crystal and I just returned from driving a van load of teens and young adults to spend the afternoon/evening visiting many of our church family at Camp Manatawny, Delaware Valley Christian Camp. It's close to a 2 hour drive east of us in Pennsylvania - on the other side of Philadelphia. .
Keeping with our theme of the week: You Raise Me Up with sub-themes of Women of Wisdom AND Transplants, let me share briefly a few things before heading off for bed. After all, by the time I finish posting, it will be long past midnight :0)
.
- I may be a "transplant" from the Midwest to the East Coast... but church camp is church camp!!! Purpose? Raising up the next generation to glorify Jesus via a fun and spirit-filled week of camping. Thursday at Camp Manatawny 3 young people were "raised up" in baptism with Jesus. As I sit here at my computer, I have a FB message from a friend in Indiana that 5 put their LORD on in baptism at Spring Mill Bible Camp in Indiana on Thursday. It's about having a spiritual heart transplant! Every christian parent desires that for their children! (see yesterday's post) Thanks to Aaron, Kareem, Tim, and so many others for taking a week of vacation time from work to work at camp. What a family! They know to "get wisdom" one must "get Jesus"!
- If you've read this blog much over the last seven months, you've probably gotten to know the Tim and Cristi Schwamb family in some small way. I am so thankful for this couples pursuit of wisdom for the journey. Tim has now posted a "post-transplant" update on his blog. Lauren's successful heart transplant on Tuesday have been an inspiration to many of us. Please connect to "Daddy's Diary" here. Oh, grab a tissue! You'll need it!
..
When God "raises our children", whether spiritually or physically, our spirit's rejoice! Thank You, Jesus! GIGATTAATTGIG!

NOTE: More camp pics here tomorrow!
