After my morning study time, I headed to lunch. After lunch, the students had a game time. I was able to jump in with the boys team for a game with fun noodles and a dodge ball. Lots of fun. After team game time, it was free time. The guys go swimming while the girls are at the lake and then they switch after an hour.

I love camp. It had a profound effect on my life as a teen and I've seen students completely changed by the power of God at camp over the years. I came to camp this week. I stay in the lodge. I use the morning times (while the students and leaders are in separate meetings) to study, get ready for Sunday, check e-mail, etc. Then, in the afternoons, http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~3/342653848/youth-camp-report.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rusty Posey)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~4/342653848" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.rustyposey.com/2008/07/youth-camp-report.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049619942659589572.post-3092003231859364718Sun, 20 Jul 2008 04:06:00 +00002008-07-19T23:21:56.695-05:001. A couple of weeks ago, I bought a Wii for the family.....o.k., it was for me. :) Tonight, Sasha, Mady and I played the bowling game. Mady, age 5, tore it up. She hit 4 strikes and even told us to watch her so that we could see how to do it. It was a blast. 2. Well, I spoke a little too soon on the mower. After putting the starter string back on, it cranked up and ran like a dream.

A couple of weeks ago, I yanked on the starter string and the whole string came out in my hand. I had considered taking it to someone who works on mowers to fix, but I decided to fix it myself. Thanks to step by step instructions available on the internet, I was able to accomplish the task. It was frustrating to have this happen.

As a Die Hard Dallas Cowboys Fan, I have never been a Packers fan. I have...in recent years...cheered for Brett Favre out of respect for his durability, longetivity and the fact that I had him in a couple of Fantasy Football leagues. He retired in March from the NFL and now is considering a comeback. I cannot believe how messy this thing has gotten. The Packers want to move forward, but http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~3/337692843/mid-week-madness.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rusty Posey)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~4/337692843" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.rustyposey.com/2008/07/mid-week-madness.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049619942659589572.post-2636824895844422604Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:26:00 +00002008-07-14T17:05:41.240-05:001. We began a new series entitled "Rescue." Judges 2:16 (NLT) states “Then the LORD raised up judges to rescue the Israelites from their enemies.” In this series, we are taking a look at some of the Judges that rescued Israel. On Sunday, we looked at Ehud. He went into meet with King Eglon of Moab during a time when Moab had control over Israel. He went in and delivered the message from God....anhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~3/335476863/weekend-highlights.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Rusty Posey)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RustyPosey/~4/335476863" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.rustyposey.com/2008/07/weekend-highlights.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049619942659589572.post-3201175198976780677Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:49:00 +00002008-07-09T09:59:02.401-05:001. I am real proud of our student ministry, CSI:. Even though we are currently experiencing tough economic times in America, our student ministry had a record year in Fireworks Sales. They will give a portion of that to Speed The Light, a ministry that provides vehicles and audio/visual equipment to missionaries. The rest will go to pay the student's way to camp and to the Youth Budget.

A few of the other guys in the church (Jay, Bobby and Tyler) also played in the scramble. On Sunday, I was talking about being on the winning team. As believers, we are on the winning team.

We had a great time last night at our Fifth Sunday Fellowship. I love these connection nights where we visit and eat. There were two different kinds of Banana Pudding, lots of great BBQ and to top it off a cookie cake to celebrate Alexis' 13th Birthday. 2. Our worship team did a great job Sunday Morning.

I'm not talking about my wife. I'm talking about Sasha Kaun, Center from Kansas. He....not she....was drafted tonight in the NBA draft. The Mavs had no first round pick. It had been traded to New Jersey in the Jason Kidd deal. Instead of Sasha (Russian pronunciaton), the Mavs selected Shan Foster.

There was something different about this fish. I recently went on a fishing trip with my father in law, John, my brother in law, Clint and Clint's brother in law, Michael. Despite trouble with the boat, we had a great time fishing. We ran some trot lines and did some pole fishing.

I have to admit that I'm not much for watching "America's Pasttime" on Television. However, I love heading to the Ballpark and watching a game. I also love watching kids play. I want to congratulate the Atlanta T-Ball team for winning their Region Tournament last night in Marshall.

There were some keepsakes from my teen years. In one box, she found the shell of an Armadillo. Why would I have the shell of an Armadillo? The shell was from a Royal Rangers campout that our church took during Christmas Break. The campout consisted of three of my friends, our commander and myself. It was freezing cold outside.

We had a great Father's Day weekend. Sunday, I spoke on having a fire shut up in our bones. We need the Holy Spirit so that we can be witnesses.

He challenged the crowd with the thought that God doesn't want anyone to perish, but all to come to repentance. Zollie Smith is the Executive Director for U.S. Missions for the Assemblies of God.

This has been a great council so far. The times of worship have been incredible. 2. Monday Night and Tuesday Morning, Pastor Rick Dubose shared the vision and strategy for Target 1000.

I am still sore today. :) I enjoyed spending time with the people of Cornerstone. 3. This week is District Council. It is always great to reconnect with friends. Tonight's service was incredible.

We had two great services yesterday. The podcast from Sunday Morning should be up sometime today. We had great altar times in both services. Last night, Eric Akin, former Youth Pastor at Cornerstone, shared his vision for planting a church in the Rockwall/Heath area. It was great catching up with Eric.
