Today was the beginning of our annual First Principles Day Camp for students ages 9 and up. The camp lasts three days and serves as a crash course in our belief system as disciples of Christ. We were blessed this year to have the largest crowd in attendance. 19 students were here, eager to learn more about the basic, foundational principles of Christianity. There are whispers that there will be a few more tomorrow. That excites me. Young hearts ready to study the will of God for their lives.
On a sad note, there also comes an end to things. Several of our youth are leaving us this week. The Tates are moving to Florida and Stephanie H is moving to Albuquerque. They will be sorely missed. Compound that with the near departure of our preaching minister and his family and you have a few wet eyes in the house.
God has big plans for them. Plans that maybe you and I don't see with our miniscule grasp of the 'Big Picture.' But since the 'Big Guy in the Sky' knows all and sees all, I trust that they will be great blessings to the new communities in which they live and serve.
A word to the movers: We love you and pray for your spiritual safety as you leave us and embark on a new leg in your journey. God bless you.
So, there are beginnings and endings. Transitions that shape and change each one of us.
