The church my grandson attends is having their annual campout. The primary focus is on encouraging new membership. Come out and camp with us and join in the fellowship. I was invited to come along and most certainly will. A member of the church owns several acres of wooded property where we can all set up camp. A central fire will be lit and I'm told food and drink provided. S'mores will be featured.
I turned on the weather report to hear it has been revised to include a freeze watch ! Oh my, should be interesting. I do have a fairly good sleeping bag and a tent. I will tell you this much, I'm not old but feeling a little uncomfortable sleeping on the ground. I'll do it for Mark and the lord though. Should you see no more postings you'll know why. LOL
Things are a bit different now, a bit more progressive you might say. Pastor Doug will be there with his boys, no doubt. I can't imagine my own pastor, Reverend Davis, ever doing such a thing. I'm also equally as sure he was just a man like everybody else, although I didn't think so. It was a different relationship back in those days. Things are a bit less formal in todays world.
It is a wonderful thing and I'm hoping for success for the membership drive. Makes no difference how the shepherd gathers the flock, so long as the flock is gathered. I'm also hoping I can make it through the night. I'm a bit of a fair weather camper. Prefer warmer temperatures. Well, you only get one chance at life so you had best take advantage of the opportunities as presented. Should be fun.

Yes, I will pray for you,Ben, I have no fear of you not surviving,however! You may be a bit sore, after sleeping on the ground,but this too shall pass. You're making more of those good memories for both you and Mark...that's so commendable! I hope one and all enjoy that experience, and that the group IS successful in their endeavors!
