Packing our gear at Cousin Camp Camo
Sitting around the table sharing God's Word

The verses below were the basis for our spiritual training at CCC.  Each day we packed our back packs with the physical supplies we might need, but we also applied God's Word to our hearts.  We reminded each other to seek the Lord, stand strong in the Lord, serve the Lord, sleep peacefully knowing the Lord is watching, sing to the Lord, and simply delight in the love of the Lord.


SEEK


Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.  Psalm 119:105


You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.  

Jeremiah 29:13


STAND STRONG

The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent. Exodus 14:14

Be still and know that I am God.  Psalm 46:10


Don't be afraid. I am with you. Don't tremble with fear. I am your God. I will make you strong, as I protect you with my arm and give you victories. 

Isaiah 41:10


The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.   Zephaniah 3:17

Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9


Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!  

Psalm 27:14


SERVE


May the Lord cause us to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone.   1 Thessalonians 3:12


SLEEP


In peace, I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.  

Psalm 4:8


Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7


SING


This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.  Psalm  118:24


Be joyful always, pray without ceasing and in all things give thanks. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18


Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love Him with all that’s in you, love Him with all you’ve got!  Deuteronomy 6:5


SIMPLY DELIGHT   Simply, delight yourself in the Lord.  Psalm 37:4

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
