Tuesday, Snow Mountain CO

Happy Tuesday everyone! I am beat. Fo real. Blame it on the altitude or the fact that I gave up physical activity in junior high, but I could really use some oxygen. Luckily, the students are tired too so I can keep up. We have really started getting deeper into the Word by now. We have been working our way through James and talking about putting our faith into action. Both my family group and our youth group are becoming active participants in discussion. They are asking difficult questions and struggling with concepts that most adults have trouble with. As their leader, that thrills me. Questions lead to searching and searching leads to truth. Ultimately, those potentially uncomfortable questions become a gateway to a deeper relationship with the Lord. Today, Brad spoke about James 3 and the power of the tongue. Working our way through the book, James explains the importance of acting on hour faith. Chapter 3 begins to give practical ways to start. Words are so powerful. James knows that if we are unable to control our tongues, then we can hardly hope to be obedient in other areas. Our boys won today's dodgeball tournament (beat 22 teams!!!!). I feel pretty confident about our title's chances in the volleyball tournament tomorrow. We all had a big ol' time at the Redneck Prom. That's all for now. Be home soon!
