why i love this place...

thoughts as i sat in big assembly yesterday (the final epic event of the week):

singing, dancing, cheering, yelling, screaming.
hundreds of campers decked out in their camp colors.
a sea of blue, orange, red and blue, and black and green filled the church auditorium.
parents sitting in the back taking it all in.  some even standing against the rear walls.
there is something about this place.
it is electric.

i love camp all-american.

not just for the fun.
but the reason behind it all.


talking with some parents after assembly.
just wondering what they thought of all of the cheering to get us "hype."
one parent said she liked it.
it brought tears to her eyes.

this is what it is about.
repping Jesus Christ.
going big and doing it right.  not for us but for the glory of our Christ.
