hey guys...long time no post huh...

well, kids camp went well. bible study was a bit different with 3-4th graders. but thank goodness my good ole buddy josh was there to entertain them with great team building efforts.

last week josh, troy, john, lee, and myself (along with kevin) were cleaning camp up. we took the water toys out of the lake (the blob, iceberg, and trampolines). we just had fun doing things.

this weekend i went to tyree's house and then we went to steely's house in the 'burg. i had lots of fun hanging out at both places and down to eagle falls too.

this week we have a group coming and we are going to be facilitating activities for them...no bible study.

as a side note...for those that have not heard, and really read this stuff...which would be you because you have come thus far...i am going to be staying in kentucky for a few more months. i will be here helping out around campus and facilitating groups that come in on the weekends. a step up. it is going to be different than this summer...but it will be fun. i was asked if i wanted to stay right before kids camp. God has a way of answering questions for you even if you are not looking for an answer. i will be here until november at least. i would love to hear from you. ill be staying on campus...so no worries about sleeping in my car.

gimme a call or message me sometime

summer behind, kids camp ahead

man, just in a few weeks you can say i have arrived at this point. not too long ago things seemed a bit difficult. fears were abounding, friendship was still flighty. but i write to you having come through that. this summer has been a good one, and i will not say that it hadnt had its difficult points...but through it all God has been faithful. He has shown me a little more about myself and about others. i have seen some of my same qualities and characteristics come out here, and i have gotten to work with a great group of people, and see how God has worked in their lives and is continuing to work in their lives.

we have kids coming a little later today for our final stretch as a semi-full staff (some left on thursday morning, but just 5 people). some are anxious...but it should be promising. after that, everyone leaves on monday.

note to those that care.

a crew of 4-5 guys are going to be staying here for one week to help the camp go into non-summer mode...and i am one of them. the week after that there is a church group coming to use our facilities...and not for our bible study, which means they need some people to stay to help out there...guess who is going to do that too? i figured since i dont have anything i have to do...why not.

best wishes to you all here from kentucky. i would love to hear from you, so call, write, or send me a message.

j-creek last week

hey guys, for those that read...it has been awhile since i last updated.

run down of happenings

we have completed the last week of youth camp and childrens camp begins on friday for 3 days. it has been a wonderful summer getting to meet great folks and seeing God move in so many different ways...especially in my life. things were difficult at first, but you know me...they dont stay that way for long. God truly has had a hand with the staff this summer.

keep smiling...for it is a great gift God has given us

whew...summer

man, this has been a great summer so far. few quick updates while i have a sec.

we are about to begin our 8th week of camp after finishing 7 weeks already. i will have two more weeks after this, but they are not going to be in the same capacity that i currently am...maintenance one week and facilitator another.

last weekend went to texas and had a blast. it was great seeing all the folks and hanging out with them.

lots to say but so little time to say it in.

blessings to yall from kentucky, keep in touch

week 5

hey guys, i know that it has been awhile since i have posted. just letting all that read know that i am safe. i have now been here in kentucky for about 6 weeks. man, a lot has happened in those weeks...but i shall just say a bit from week 5 at camp. had high schoolers this week, and it was pretty good. my team builder really connected with this group of kids.

this weekend we played capture the flag on friday and softball on saturday. guys won ctf but the team builders won softball
