Summer in the Son - Tuesday (MS)

Tuesday arrived in full force...

So hard that Emily couldn't find one of the lens of the glasses she found on the table.

But she was smiling anyway...











One of the highlights of the day is Encounter Time. Brock gets some quiet time in on a bench outside of Lusby.















Hannah and I were feeling a little goofy!












Colton, Ian and Wesley got the best seats for the night!!! They were pumped!















"Remedy Drive" put on a good show tonight! After the show, Lori, Jackie, Alex and I got into a pretty long and casual conversation with their lead singer David. It was very cool!!!




Tomorrow is Wednesday!!! Time for some sleep!!!

Isaiah 6:5-8 (New International Version)

⁵ "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."

⁶ Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. ⁷ With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."

⁸ Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

Summer in the Son - Monday (MS)

Monday arrived!!!


Jericha was surprised to see it arrived already.











But the day got rolling with a session and some morning quiet time. Most really enjoy the designated time to connect with God. Alaina is digging into the material.












Ireland isn't turning red... it's the tent. It makes all the pictures red.















Tonight was a great session with a powerful message from our speaker Danny. Jericha, Emily, Ireland and Jonah posed for a picture... well, Jonah did less posing than the rest.













But it's on Monday and these kids are driving me 'crazy!!!' Just kidding... everything is great!!! More pictures coming tomorrow.

We have arrived.

The ride down was long and hot, but we made it. (Thanks to Tom... our excellent driver's skill!!!).


Alex enjoyed the ride. At least some of it.










Emily and Hunter enjoyed it more after we stopped at McDonalds... they picked up Frapps...













But we arrived... all of us (Ian, on the right, was the last to join us). And the night got kicked off well.















Hunter, and Vilma's thumbs, approve of the worship!!! It was a great night kicked off by the Aaron Pelsue band and some great speaking by Danny!














Hunter, Paige, Vilma and Emily are all smiles after the first night!!!

But now... I think it's time for bed. The first full day of Middle School Summer in the Son awaits tomorrow!!!

¹⁶ "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

Couldn't I wash in them and be cleansed?" So he turned and went off in a rage.

¹³ Naaman's servants went to him and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, 'Wash and be cleansed'!" ¹⁴ So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.

Today was the last full day of Summer in the Son. And it was a great, great day!!!

The morning was awesome. This afternoon, we headed over to Brian and Melody (Angie Gergely's sister and brother-in-law who live nearby)'s house for some swimming.

Most kids hit the pool... Several just hit the snacks... Paul (Sr.) jumped into the Ale81.




Several enjoyed an afternoon in the sunshine!!!















Sadie hit the pool... Jackie didn't. But they were all smiles none the less.














We had a great evening... followed by a powerful group time.


The last full day of Summer in the Son is complete. We've got a celebration service in the morning and then we'll be home tomorrow evening.

Summer in the Son - Sunday

We have arrived.

We are settling into our dorms and finding the accommodations quite nice. (It's always a blessing to be able to do this from my bed rather than outside of a dormitory or someplace...)

Julie, Sadie, Reagan and Audrey are enjoying the accommodations.








Several of the girls are enjoying their's as well...












The rage seems to be "Ninja." Several students are engaged in a game here (Reagan, Jacob and Matt). Our group has been teaching other groups the rules of the game.













Peyton, Paul and Jacob give their approval to SITS already.














Curtis found a good way around campus... on Kyle's back. But hey, you've gotta get around somehow.



So far, things are off to a great start. Aaron Pelsue rocked the worship tonight. The speaker was great. And the group is jelling well already. Looking forward to a great, great week.


But now, I think I need to go and break up a soccer/dodgeball game that seems to have broken out in the hallway... 3 minutes before bedtime...

Ecclesiastes 4:7-12 (New International Version)

⁷ Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:

⁸ There was a man all alone;
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
"For whom am I toiling," he asked,
"and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?"
This too is meaningless—
a miserable business!

⁹ Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:

¹⁰ If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!

¹¹ Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?

¹² Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Akron 1/2 Marathon

Well... Now I've done it!!!


The other day, I saw on Twitter that the Akron 1/2 Marathon was capping at 4,000 runners. They also said that they were filling up. Which kinda freaked me out... since I'm training for it.

So I registered!!!!
And there's no refunds!!!!

So I guess I'm in for it now.

But my training is going well. This week (Monday) I knocked out a 6 mile run... my longest ever... and tackled some pretty big hills in the midst of those 6 miles. This week (Thursday) I knocked out another 3.6 mile run and I've got another on Saturday. The training is going well.

But I'm a little nervous about having registered. I'm sure it will be fine. Actually I'm kinda looking forward to it.

Today...

... I am honored to be performing the wedding ceremony for two students that were in my youth ministry in Pennsylvania. Sarah and Justin are a great couple and I'm really looking forward to performing the ceremony.

Justin has been working with me for the past two years at Fox Valley as a worship ministry intern working with our students and did a phenomenal job! When we asked me if I would perform the ceremony this weekend, I was honored.

I truly am honored.

It's an amazing thing in youth ministry to have enough longevity in ministry to get to this point with students that we've worked with. I've known Justin since he was in fifth or sixth grade. (I could tell stories and show pictures that would totally embarrass him... but I won't... or at least I'll try to refrain...) I haven't known Sarah that long... but I've known her since she was in middle school. And now, to stand under the tree at Stainbrook Park where they are getting married and perform the ceremony after 10 or 11 years of relationship will be awesome.

It is truly one of those small miracles in youth ministry that make the marathon of youth ministry worthwhile. I don't do many weddings... by choice... so when I do them, it is often because they are special.

Justin and Sarah are truly special.

Congratulations to the happy couple. May your life together be filled with joy and richness!

Running update...

It's been a while since I updated on my running progress.

Actually, May was a really good month. Altogether for the month, I ran 32.3 miles. Which is a really good start towards the many (nearly 250) that I will complete before my first 1/2 marathon. (I'm planning to run the Akron 1/2 marathon in September... and maybe... maybe another in August...) I am officially 2 weeks into training for that 1/2... logged 11.09 miles this week.

I have (for the most part) adjusted to both the hills and the humidity of southeastern Ohio. The hills (I think) are making me a better, faster and more conditioned runner. That, I won't lie, has been a bit a struggle... the hills and the humidity. But I'll get used to them. And will be a better runner in the long run.

A couple of weeks ago I had a pretty major accomplishment. I ran the Susan K. Comen 5k for the Cure (cancer awareness) in Columbus with some friends. Thanksgiving was the last time that I had ran a 5k for time. I ran that race in 28m 38s. So I was hoping to just break the 28 minute mark. When I saw the crowds, I was not optimistic that I would be able to run my race, at my pace. But the crowd thinned out and wasn't as bad as I wanted and I ran a 27m 03s!!!! I was pumped!!! Not only that, but I ran with a seasoned marathon runner. When we got done, he said "You (Jim) were running as fast as I wanted to run..." I'll take that as a compliment!

My next race will be (unless something unexpected pops up) the Fireman's Festival 5k here in Caldwell on July 31st. It will be a nice little diversion from my regular weekly training... by then I should be running 23-25 miles a week. Should be fun!

On other hand, the dieting hasn't been all that great. I've been hanging around the 245 mark... sometimes 242... sometimes 250... It's been tough without Jackie here. She is my dietitian and my warden. She helps me know what and how much to eat... and gives me dirty looks when I eat too much or what I shouldn't. But she will be here this week and that will help (the diet portion) of my training get back on track.

It's been a good month. I feel good. I feel like my training is progressing and I'm looking forward to getting longer distances in.

⁶ Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro:
He bustles about, but only in vain;
he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.

⁷ "But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.

your justice like the great deep.
