DAY 4...<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
OMC! OMC! OMC!</div>

Day 4 of CentriKid is always OMC! OMC is our final day of recreation at camp, and it is the biggest, craziest day! OMC stands for Organized Mass Chaos. Every camper will compete for their color by completing task cards. Every player is trying to complete a different task, but the biggest rule of the game is that you can’t say “no,” so everytime a camper asks another for help, they must stop their task and help. After a camper completes the task, they drop it into their team’s colored bucket and get another task card from the numbered flag indicated on their completed card. The team with the most <br />
task cards in their bucket wins! While adults don’t complete cards, they still help kids with tasks, take pictures, help in the No Fly Zone, and get very messy.</div>

DAY 3... This will be short... sorry! Energy is waning and tomorrow is a big, big day! OMC!!! And for you rookie parents, that means ORGANIZED MASS CHAOS!! And it's probably the most fun any kid will have while at Centri-Kid. The four grades will compete against one another and one of them will be declared the winner at the end of OMC. More details tomorrow...<br />
<br />
Jake and I spent the afternoon at the ER with Caelin. I'll send an email with more details but all is well now. <br />
<br />
The morning started with Parkway being awarded the gold medal award for the day. Each morning 4 leaders are pitted against one another in hopes of winning the coveted gold medal. Thanks to my love of word games today was our day!!!<br />

DAY 2...<br />
Did you know I hate mornings? I really, really do... And did you know we have the noisiest shower ever? And that a camp like Centri-Kid would schedule breakfast for 7:45? Grrrrrrr!!!! But I was awake with a smile on my face and a song in my heart before 6:30 getting ready for another great day of Centri-Kid. After breakfast we began our day with a Quiet Time. Pray that campers will use that time to quiet their hearts and really concentrate on the devotion and Scripture reading for the day.<br />
<br />
Our theme this week is GAME ON! Today's focus was from Daniel 1. Daniel's obedience points us to Jesus. Daniel was able to obey God because he knew God, and he knew obeying God was more important and beneficial than obeying man. So our prayer today is that kid's will make the wise choice like Daniel did. Leaders have a time of worship and Bible study just for them. This morning was a thought-provoking time about surrendering it all to Him. Was it a new concept? Of course not. Do we do that on a daily basis? Of course not. Really makes one think about how much control we allow the Holy Spirit to have and how much we try to do ourselves.<br />
<br />
Timmy wins the prize so far for eating the healthiest meal. He actually had a green vegetable plus a salad for lunch. I was impressed... oh, and a plate full of goldfish crackers. :-)<br />
<br />
Campers spent the morning at Bible study and Rec. Then it was lunch time with a really lonnnnnng line. Track time takes up the afternoon until 4 pm when then it was our swim time. Each church is assigned a particular swim day and time. Dinner came next with better choices - just my personal opinion... then PARTY! followed by a time of worship then church group devotion time before heading for bed. We have some very tired boys so I think they will make it to bed sooner tonight than last night. Here are some photos of the last 2 days...<br />

DAY 1<br />
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Day 1 of Centri-Kid is complete... the hallway is quiet and has been for an hour... and we are hoping that everyone is sleeping and resting up for an even busier day tomorrow. Our trip down was very uneventful with only one stop needed. Girls were in one van; boys in the other. I can't speak for the boys and their trip but our girls were great. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
We arrived at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar about 2 p.m. We were met by CK staff. I went to check us in... the campers and other sponsors got their t-shirts and picked their tracks. After a group photo we went to settle into our dorm rooms and were free to do whatever until dinner at 5:45. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I seemed to have spent all of my time making sure our campers were reminded of everything they needed and I forgot many things - a pillow and towels just to name two of them. A pillow was found in the preschool wing at church. I made a quick trip to Walmart for towels and a pillowcase. And now it's time for bed and I can't find the pillowcase. I think the heat has gotten to my brain and fried it.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
After dinner it was CELEBRATION with loud music... loud cheering... loud games... yeah, everything is loud during certain parts of the day. The kids went to their BIBLE STUDY while the leaders were given many, many instructions. Thankfully, I'm a detailed person and have it all written down - guess I should have done that about towels and pillows. The last thing each evening is CHURCH DEVOTIONS where just our group gets together for a time of sharing and exploring more of what it means to have a relationship with Christ. </div>

And it's not because I had nothing to say... I have plenty... and if you read our Christmas newsletter you already know what a tremendous blessing this year has been with many celebrations in the Wescoat house... and they were all a reminder of how truly faithful God is in our lives.<br /><br />As usual, I began to think about New Year's Resolutions.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" >Oh that blessed time of year. When we determine once and for all we are going to change our ways and live up to the high expectations we have always had of ourselves. Ahh, what an inspiring–and often frustrating–time of year as we focus on our failures and shortcomings. The nature of the resolution is to fix areas of life that have fallen short and make plans (often in our own strength) to change them.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" > </span><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:100%;">I really don't even like setting goals (even though my supervisor at church requires it of me) and dreaming about how my life could be different only adds to the frustrations…</span></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" > </span><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:100%;">But what I want to do is celebrate God’s presence and His goodness in our lives. And that was so evident this year - Mom & Dad's 80th birthday, Chris & Kayla's wedding, the birth of Josephine (Jodi) Hope, Chris' completion & certification as an EMT and firefighter, Charlie's trip to China, even a rescue dog named Skippy... as well as so many little things too numerous to mention...<br /></span></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" > </span><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:100%;">As we focus on changing our habits: eat less, exercise more, floss daily…I think we should spend at least a little time remembering God’s goodness in other areas. Remember the triumphs, the successes, the breakthroughs. Remember the many times God’s faithfulness and compassion “saved the day” and changed situations for the better.<br /></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:100%;">What are you most thankful for in 2011?</span></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" ></span>Moppyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03683854201973570697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697432518920771906.post-20173665405189413012011-07-14T19:30:00.007-05:002011-07-14T19:47:00.334-05:00CENTRIKID, DAY FOUR - OMC<div style="text-align: center;">The favorite day of most campers...

In the concluding measure of his earthly composition, we hear the sounds of a thirsty man.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And through his thirst—through a sponge and a jar of cheap wine—he leaves a final appeal.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">“You can trust me.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Jesus. Lips cracked and mouth of cotton. Throat so dry he couldn’t swallow, and voice so hoarse he could scarcely speak. He is thirsty. To find the last time moisture touched these lips you need to rewind a dozen hours to the meal in the upper room. Since tasting that cup of wine, Jesus has been beaten, spat upon, bruised, and cut. He has been a cross-carrier and sin-bearer, and no liquid has salved his throat. He is thirsty.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Why doesn’t he do something about it? Couldn’t he? Did he not cause jugs of water to be jugs of wine? Did he not make a wall out of the Jordan River and two walls out of the Red Sea? Didn’t he, with one word, banish the rain and calm the waves? Doesn’t Scripture say that he “turned the desert into pools” (PSALM 107:35 NIV) and “the hard rock into springs” (PSALM 114:8 NIV)?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Did God not say, “I will pour water on him who is thirsty” (ISAIAH. 44:3NKJV)?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">If so, why does Jesus endure thirst?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">While we are asking this question, add a few more. Why did he grow weary in Samaria (John 4:6), disturbed in Nazareth (Mark 6:6), and angry in the Temple (John 2:15)? Why was he sleepy in the boat on the Sea of Galilee (Mark 4:38), sad at the tomb of Lazarus (John 11:35), and hungry in the wilderness (Matt. 4:2)?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Why? And why did he grow thirsty on the cross?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">He didn’t have to suffer thirst. At least, not to the level he did. Six hours earlier he’d been offered drink, but he refused it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, buthe did not take it. And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. (Mark 15:22–24 NIV,italics mine)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Before the nail was pounded, a drink was offered. Mark says the wine was mixed with myrrh. Matthew described it as wine mixed with gall. Both myrrh and gall contain sedative properties that numb the senses. But Jesus refused them. He refused to be stupefied by the drugs, opting instead to feel the full force of his suffering.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Why? Why did he endure all these feelings? Because he knew you would feel them too.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">He knew you would be weary, disturbed, and angry. He knew you’d be sleepy, grief-stricken, and hungry. He knew you’d face pain. If not the pain of the body, the pain of the soul … pain too sharp for any drug. He knew you’d face thirst. If not a thirst for water, at least a thirst for truth, and the truth we glean from the image of a thirsty Christ is—he understands.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And because he understands, we can come to him.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">NEW Gift Book!

Well, certainly not blogging. However, I won't bore you with that time span... we'll start fresh... again.<br /><br />Masha and I went to see "Hop" last weekend with plans of taking Sammy and Lizzie this Friday but really found it not worth the time. What continually went through my head was that they never touched on anything real about Easter. This review does a good job of saying how I felt after leaving the theater. Read it <a href="http://www.pluggedin.com/movies/intheaters/hop.aspx">here</a>. Next we plan to try "Rio" and take the kids to see this G-rated animated movie. Maybe we'll have better luck with the parrots.<br /><br />I love sports... and anyone who just sort of knows me probably realizes that. March Madness is one of my most favorite times of the year. I've watched so many basketball games in the past weeks and loved every minute of it. Unlike many of my male friends, I also enjoy the women's tournament. And if some of them would give it a try, so would they. I dare any of them to go up against Maya Moore or Shekina Strickland and come out unscathed. I would have liked to see the underdog Butler team win last night but it was not to be. And tonight's women's championship? I don't really have a favorite... my team is the Lady Vols and they were beat. The Lady Huskies lost in the Final Four and that was one of the sweetest games I've seen in a long time. Another favorite is Stanford and they lost in the Final Four, too. So tonight I'll be watching Texas A&M and Notre Dame. Being born in Texas maybe I should root for them... I'm sure Joshua B. would appreciate it.<br /><br />Last night was my first Cardinal game of the season... and it was soooooo cold. And I really thought I was dressed for it.... turtleneck, long sleeve t-shirt, hoodie sweatshirt, coat, gloves, scarf, long underwear... and Masha even got me hand warmers. Then the only thing that was warm were my hands. :-) Not often do you see us bundled up like this for a Cardinal game...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe1shwt-6RoL3x5embaW1ZBC3wVxcG1F4BhxPx7e5Gpkj5XO_h7yAbYsbvxi-mOCVzFTPkTu_dJsOY8BS3HscimbFmHSM3qDok5Qxl2s0oiyeQe_X8qavMZkVxA0z1RKrmhN7HZT7A5Vx2/s1600/IMG_0735.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe1shwt-6RoL3x5embaW1ZBC3wVxcG1F4BhxPx7e5Gpkj5XO_h7yAbYsbvxi-mOCVzFTPkTu_dJsOY8BS3HscimbFmHSM3qDok5Qxl2s0oiyeQe_X8qavMZkVxA0z1RKrmhN7HZT7A5Vx2/s320/IMG_0735.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592109984882657026" border="0" /></a>And to remind you of the crazy weather in St. Louis?

I began to follow, on Twitter, Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church in North Carolina... a young man with a passion for those who don't know Christ and God is truly blessing the efforts of him and Elevation Church. This morning's post really struck a chord with me... read it <a href="http://www.stevenfurtick.com/leadership/keepers-of-the-aquarium/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PastorStevenFurtick+%28Pastor+Steven+Furtick%29">here</a>.Moppyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03683854201973570697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697432518920771906.post-53543747511381997482011-01-29T09:42:00.002-06:002011-01-29T10:25:39.295-06:00WHATEVER...<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I don't do New Year's Resolutions - I tried it and I end up feeling guilty... lose weight (which I need to do) and then 2 months later I'm depressed because I've lost only 2 pounds... read the Bible EVERY day and then I miss a day and feel like I've failed... get everywhere on time - not a morning person so not gonna happen. Then I read a blog recently and this person chose one word. I thought that surely I could do that - choose a word for the year - but God was giving me NOTHING!! I was busy dwelling on circumstances that had made me unhappy - actually had made me downright mad - and seeing things as impossible... or hopeless. And then God gave me a word - WHATEVER! Not like the kids say it with the emphasis on whatEVer but as in "whatever it takes". Bear with me here...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">As 4 of us traveled to Nashville this past Thursday for a VBS Preview event, we listened to this year's VBS music - and I admitted I wasn't too crazy about it but hoped it would grow on me. And it has... and the words hold so much truth... "by faith I love; by faith I come; by faith I will trust in the name of Jesus; by faith I believe in things I can not see; by faith I cling to the hope that Jesus gives me..."; "I love You more than anything... but that's not enough... I want to love You more..."; and as a rap - "God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life... why don't you?" And probably my favorite: "Jesus, I will do WHATEVER it takes to bring glory to your name... He said go, so I will go; He said tell, so I will tell..." And that's how God brought me to the word - actually 3 words - "whatever it takes".</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Jeff Slaughter said it best... and I don't have his exact words but... One of the VBS songs is a rap and he figured some folks would have a problem with that but he said that God gives us music and many in the world have perverted it but why can't we take that music and turn it to Him and for His glory. It's what the kids are listening to so let's give them positive lyrics and godly words in a way they will listen to it... "whatever it takes"...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Enjoy Jeff's "By Faith" video using New York City as the backdrop...</span><br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/b477zS2cewM" allowfullscreen="" width="640" frameborder="0" height="390"></iframe><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So as I look at what God has for our KidZONE Children's Ministry at PBC... at what God has for the ones I love in my family... at what God has for me personally... my prayer is that I will do "whatever it takes" to bring glory to His name.</span><br /><br />Click here for more samples of this year's VBS "Big Apple Adventure" <a href="http://www2.lifeway.com/vbs2011/yourvbs/index.php/multimedia/music/">music</a>.Moppyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03683854201973570697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697432518920771906.post-69274099802894871552011-01-26T11:54:00.000-06:002011-01-26T11:54:33.433-06:00First Mom<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3f0oy0bBs8s?fs=1" allowfullscreen="" width="425" frameborder="0" height="344"></iframe>Moppyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03683854201973570697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697432518920771906.post-5010873611036472932011-01-21T13:22:00.002-06:002011-01-21T13:26:11.824-06:00LEARNING TO PRAY FROM A TWO-YEAR OLDWhat can you learn about prayer from a 2 year old?

We've all been there - that wilderness between hardship and God's promises. What will do in "the land between"?

We headed out... cold, fog... and finally reached our destination. The thought was that we would float down with the current in the "trophy" area and catch some nice size trout as was done on Monday. Here is a picture of the catch of the day... literaly the only catch of the day until much later in the evening.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506918090205967794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy0kjnThKFHsZa0ShEk3Lbppo9AHqKASToAg93sHHeG4AsGgKvX70XBUs20VEdMMmpwZmAwdKh6Jf1L44mpkgXmboOkLhEsZKViaQImKKu56Ke5EObN2xu2sY6-Ibyu5aankDjNB7SN38d/s320/SDC11865.JPG" />...and we couldn't keep it because it fell in the 12"-20" range and those have to be thrown back if caught in the "trophy" area. </div><br /><div>About mid-afternoon, we went out again. Why not, I thought... we had done so well that morning. Sarcasm intended... So we headed back up to the "trophy" area and caught nothing. Continued to go with the current and continued to catch nothing. I mentioned that we would probably start catching fish when we got to Lilley's Landing... which is where we are staying. And sure enough... we did and caught our limit and then some but threw the small ones back. We were even the talk of the Lilley Landing office this morning. </div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX1UNe9ZHD7r9nALE_ZYeCFAiFpZTZ_NYPnngB8_akvB72GDk9ov9ZNUZuzfoGoVnu3-u6Z6IrtS7ecqrRU_XZl96Ml5aaUzBbmAQqU_NQfPL8qYyeMzyHJ-DS8AadU4LJ05kZb-l9oydL/s1600/SDC11871.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506919317232518370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX1UNe9ZHD7r9nALE_ZYeCFAiFpZTZ_NYPnngB8_akvB72GDk9ov9ZNUZuzfoGoVnu3-u6Z6IrtS7ecqrRU_XZl96Ml5aaUzBbmAQqU_NQfPL8qYyeMzyHJ-DS8AadU4LJ05kZb-l9oydL/s320/SDC11871.JPG" /></a> <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtjXTObd91l3mRHPDBPEmV8wGwrkVmEC1PBElHpEwWS9FXyVxdbCBYcDnMV9z5aLTDmMyaz4BbroxAzKhRoMQpk2PWaqfPDXsGlV9ZZyMvYThCrb5VXl06-pqDBOFywQpOIS-FPf3BqA4/s1600/SDC11873.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506920030684942018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtjXTObd91l3mRHPDBPEmV8wGwrkVmEC1PBElHpEwWS9FXyVxdbCBYcDnMV9z5aLTDmMyaz4BbroxAzKhRoMQpk2PWaqfPDXsGlV9ZZyMvYThCrb5VXl06-pqDBOFywQpOIS-FPf3BqA4/s320/SDC11873.JPG" /></a> The afternoon was spent riding one of the Ducks.

You'll note I didn't write anything after Day 2... a couple of reasons for that - too tired to write anything comprehendable late at night and just wanted to take it all in for the last few days.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Sitting...</strong> on my bed with my laptop and thinking about the week... listening to CK music from the week. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Eating...</strong> nothing at the moment but it's nice to know my food will be hot and my choice not so limited as you find in a cafeteria. I was reminded that I do NOT miss cafeteria food. No chance of a low-carb diet there... but I did not gain any weight so that's a positive. However, I thought I would have lost more with the walking and sweating... that's a bit disappointing.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Drinking... </strong>a Diet Pepsi. I drank a lot more water at camp. I figure I couldn't fuss continuously at the kids about it unless I was willing to do it myself. I'm still finding today that I'm very thirsty.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Glad...</strong> that I went to CentriKid. Parkway has been going for 10 years and never had I gone along. I would have but there was always an intern and/or volunteer willing to go. This year there was no intern and I felt it was time for me to go. I wanted to see what exactly happens and not just hear it from someone else. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Needing... </strong>a way to convince other parents how cool CK is so they will send their kids. Considering all they get while there, the price is certainly not too bad. They really don't have time to get homesick and we can usually deal with it. We have never had to call parents to come get their kids... although I know it has happened with other churches. It's a time in their life that they will NEVER forget. I had a note on Facebook from a recent high school graduate who mentioned that it was the "highlight of my childhood". </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Avoiding... </strong>anything to do with excessive heat. Much of CK is spent outside. Take a shower in the morning... walk to breakfast... and need another one. Finally just gave up... sweat was gonna happen with heat indexes of over 100 each day. The CK staffers did a good job of having water available for all outside Tracks and activities.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Enjoyed... </strong>wow! that list could go on and on. I enjoyed spending a week with 7 girls... who went for different reasons but all came away with something new. We talked on the way home about what they had learned and how God had spoken to them during the week... and everyone had an answer. It was soooo cool. I enjoyed having Chris Grater as my sidekick... and for those who know her, then you know there was a lot of laughter and a lot of fun. God has given her a great sense of humor. I'm so glad she was willing to leave behind her two little boys and husband and spend the week at CK. I know she went because Anne was going... and that was OK because I'm pretty sure God taught her some things, too. I really <strong>enjoyed</strong> the music. It was so incredibly loud... and I didn't care... I'm not that old yet. We sang... we danced... we jumped... we did motions... and I loved watching the staffers. Their energy level was amazing. Their example of worship was heart-warming. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Preparing... </strong>a surprise packet for the girls with music and notes and pictures. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Trying... </strong>to catch up on sleep... does one ever really catch up?</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Laughed...</strong> at the many things that were said throughout the week... most of which will never be written here. :-) But one of the funniest was when some things went missing... like socks, a washcloth, some art work... and the RA (resident assistant at the dorm) was accused of coming in the room and taking them. Chris and I found that very comical... and tried to picture the RA with a young girl's art work on her wall and a mobile made out of socks & washcloths. :-) And then we overheard our girls telling other girls on the hall about it. Oh... the items were found... and not in the RA's room. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Reading... </strong><em>Rescuer</em> by Dee Henderson - the final book in the O'Malley series and also <em>Transformational Church</em> by Ed Stetzer and Thom Rainer... more about that on another day. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Thankful... </strong>for Lifeway and seeing a need 10 years ago for a camp for older elementary children... <strong>Thankful </strong>for Carie Guest, the staffer assigned to Parkway for the week. She connected with the girls... was a wonderful example... shared a loving testimony... and obviously loves the Lord with all her heart. <strong>Thankful</strong> for the freedom to worship with no inhibitions.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Ending...</strong> with mixed emotions and personal sadness but reminded that God is in control of all things... and He knows what's best.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Pictures from CentriKid will soon be available on KidZone Children's Ministry Facebook page and on the church's website. I'll let you know when they've been posted. </span>Moppyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03683854201973570697noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697432518920771906.post-59524039292154235852010-07-13T23:16:00.003-05:002010-07-13T23:33:29.628-05:00CENTRIKID - DAY 2<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6QuA8ML5C5kDeCU6sscKR1NAwpQWwpEiYTbOP-VLLQA9k8vaO3Xw0THHuP4kKA5iZKbWrIqXdl4WnACP7F2KUWeUUrX6Nag1ODeF8o9PkI9Lm6h4B2PeDy2EUSLyqXHWA3nZk4BhljpN/s1600/SDC11663.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493615030529040610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6QuA8ML5C5kDeCU6sscKR1NAwpQWwpEiYTbOP-VLLQA9k8vaO3Xw0THHuP4kKA5iZKbWrIqXdl4WnACP7F2KUWeUUrX6Nag1ODeF8o9PkI9Lm6h4B2PeDy2EUSLyqXHWA3nZk4BhljpN/s320/SDC11663.JPG" /></a> We have all survived Day 2 of CentriKid Camp. Starting with breakfast at 7:30 is never my idea of fun but I managed to get myself and the girls in my room ready and in the cafeteria by 7:30ish. And breakfast wasn't too bad... scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon. They really weren't too generous with the bacon, though. Some of the girls had cereal and few had donuts... after their cereal or eggs. I'm not guaranteeing that these kids are eating the healthiest of meals... but they are eating. We're doing our best to keep them drinking water... now that is a task.<br /><br /><div></div><div>It was really stinkin' hot down here today... and many afternoon tracks are outside. However, CentriKid is prepared with huge water jugs and breaks for the kids to rehydrate. I'm really impressed with everything I've seen at CentriKid. Parkway has been attending for 10 years but this is my first trip as a sponsor... and everything that every camper and every sponsor has told me is true. It is extremely well-run... much care given to each child... an enormous amount of love shown... and a genuine concern for their spiritual needs. </div><br /><div></div><div>Our morning began with quiet time... centering on the One who shows us everlasting love. Then the whole group went to the auditorium for "I Can't Wait..." and it was something to get everyone revved up for the day ahead... beach balls, very loud music, and some other craziness. The kids then departed for Bible Study and Recreation. Lunch was edible. Then it was time for their tracks. Each camper chooses 5 tracks... beginning with the one they want the most... and they get 2 of their picks. The girls are doing Splish Splash, Wet 'n Wild, Art Studio, Foot Praise, Cheernastics, Drama, Soccer and probably some others that I'm not thinking about at this time of night and the end of a long day.</div><br /><div></div><div>After some free time and dinner, it was time for worship... much more subdued... much more a feeling of reverence... a time to listen... to pray... and to allow God to work on their hearts. After Church Group Time, it was back in the auditorium for The Party... and that, my friends, is a LOUD time of games... more beach balls... and t-shirts being thrown everywhere. </div><br /><div></div><div>Everyone is doing great... one incident today of homesickness but it was worked through and it didn't appear to be contagious. Day 3 will be in a few short hours. Good-night!</div>Moppyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03683854201973570697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697432518920771906.post-90928211834795142972010-07-12T23:29:00.004-05:002010-07-12T23:51:01.209-05:00CENTRIKID CAMPSUnfortunately, not enough of our Parkway family takes advantage of a really cool camp... CentriKid is for kids who have finished 3rd-6th grade. It is sponsored by Lifeway... is high energy... and will leave a lasting impression on your child. <div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGDUSZuRBrr_fbf9Qz2eFbZ-97ZisFVaDBJBP-rKF5wD6wBy0_vj6c7GT7jLIVSmqGJISjCv9EochXQlZgm0175-i6aLy8CSG6sLM_6g8kvBLDWi0gWcMc7t3ySyzX2MwuFdk6WM1Hpm2Q/s1600/2010+THEME_LOGO_CK.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 194px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493248368594899474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGDUSZuRBrr_fbf9Qz2eFbZ-97ZisFVaDBJBP-rKF5wD6wBy0_vj6c7GT7jLIVSmqGJISjCv9EochXQlZgm0175-i6aLy8CSG6sLM_6g8kvBLDWi0gWcMc7t3ySyzX2MwuFdk6WM1Hpm2Q/s200/2010+THEME_LOGO_CK.jpg" /></a>We are at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, MO for the a week of CentriKid. Leaving this morning at 10:30 with 7 young girls and 2 sponsors, we arrived to a rousing welcome from the camp pastor, Chris Mize. He directed us to registration when I got us all signed in and Chris G. followed the girls to get t-shirts and pick out their tracks. Pictures of our group and then it was off to find our "home" for the week - Beasley Hall. Three rooms... 9 females... and hope for survival. After settling in, it was time for dinner... and zero choices for a person on a low carb diet so I settled for cold broccoli, rubbery lasagna, a cold breadstick (one bite only) and a decent salad. Gotta love cafeteria food! NOT!!! Next up was Opening Celebration with huge beach balls being tossed all over Pike Auditorium... music so loud you couldn't hear yourself think... and everyone having a great time! A couple of songs of praise to the Father... a word from the camp pastor... and then the kids were off to Bible Study while we had an Adult Meeting... basically a time to go over all the basics - CentriKid 101. And then we had a tough chore... going outside and finding our kids amongst the several hundred who are here this week. We finally managed and then headed back in the auditorium for "The Party". Lindsey Geisz participated in one of the first "boy vs. girl" games. So another time of some fun, raucous behavior and then Church Group Time with Carie, our CentriKid staffer for the week. Basically, we went over everything with the girls... had them write prayer requests... and then I had the privilege of praying before heading back to the dorm. After insisting that the girls take showers, things finally settled down, and all is quiet as I type.<br /><br /><div></div><div>Our verse this week is John 1:12... <em>"But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name."</em> Pray with me this week that these kids will receive Him and know that they are His child if they will believe in His name. </div></div>Moppyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03683854201973570697noreply@blogger.com0
