Ryan and I had a great weekend! We worked up at camp as weekend directors. It was the last weekend of spike and doe season (as some of you may or may not know)...and Ryan was in his deer stand despite the misting and hazy conditions. It proved to be successful!! Ryan shot a spike on Sunday morning! I good ending to the deer season, when the last weekend is always a little sorrowful for Ryan..as the end of a joyous past-time goes by another year.
This morning I have been enjoying a little bit more of some BIRTHDAY POSTCARDS! (No shudders please...). This has become one of my favorite duties of my job, b/c it gives me the time and attention to listen to some good sermons. Today's was from Mr. John Piper...Do Not Love the World. It was definantly to the point, and bold, and convicting, and encouraging all together. I encourage all of you if you have time to listen to this, and be reminded as I was, that our desire should be upmost to LOVE God, and this will be our motivator to turn away from teh things of the world. Here's a great quote:
In other words it is our love for God that overcomes the obstacles of disobedience and makes the commandments of God a joy rather than a burden. "Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her" (Genesis 29:20). Love for God makes his service a joy and overcomes the forces of disobedience. -- Piper

i was so sad to hear that this past S.O.S. we did not get to decorate birthday postcards, but it is encouraging to hear that you are able to learn about the bible while doing them instead of laughing about other people's lack of high school doodling skills (this being the reason that the girls are better at decorating the postcards than the boys).
lol -- love it Mindy! And don't worry, at our next DOG retreat, you will once again be employed to doodle away!!
