Vacation
We’re back from two weeks of vacation in Alberta... well one week. See, for the first week I was the speaker at a Pentecostal Youth Camp called “Power Zone”. I was a little nervous about preaching again (after 7 months), but also excited to be contributing to the Kingdom in this way. God had put some stuff on my heart for them.
I met some amazing young leaders, and saw God deeply touch lives. It was awesome to be a part of it. I preached for 3 nights. The first night was on The Love of the Father – (stuff needed to be broke open in some hearts). Next night was the call to a life of discipleship – really following Jesus Hard Core. Then my last night was the “One Month Challenge” to take the Word of God with you everywhere for 30 days… and yes I used the example of a Jedi and his lightsaber. It was so good to spend some time with Barry Marsden, a man of God whom I have come to admire.
Thank you, to those who were praying for me, I felt it. Pray for all the students who took steps toward living the life of a revolutionary in the Kingdom of God – they will need it! The enemy doesn’t want them to survive, let alone succeed.
After the camp, Jaime and I went backpacking in the Rockies with my brother, his wife, and our friends Todd and Julie. We saw a Grizzly from about 150 ft away (AWESOME!!!) and had a great time. I have wanted to take Jaime into the mountains like this since before we were married.

You made me relize how much I miss your preaching. It's unique and always excellent. Like God. Wonder where you get it eh?

Hey Cowboy!
Great reading your blog and loving the way you are rediscovering yourself!
Be blessed and drop me a line sometime!
PowerZone was awesome - just wanted to let you know that fruit is already appearing in the lives of our young people. They are taking thier Bible's everywhere and making a difference in their world. God used you. Well done.
Hey man, great to hear the time in Alberta was good. Look forward to connecting with you soon.
