I am pooped. It's Sunday evening and our family just returned from Camp Sequanota in Ligonier where we were at a Family Retreat with our dear friends from Level Green Presbyterian Church. They had asked Chad to be the retreat speaker centering on the theme "kicking it up a notch." This is the church where Chad served as Youth Pastor for 5 years until 2005 and is near Monroeville, PA. What a fun weekend! We sang togethether, worshipped together, ate together, played together, and prayed together. My kids certainly enjoyed staying up late (11pm!!) and filling their tummies with yummy treats.
On the trip home I reflected on how rich our family is--not in material things but in our relationships. God has hemmed us in with good friends. People who love us and laugh with us (and at us), godly men and women who pray with and for us and who hold us accountable. So, this message is for our LG brothers and sisters: Tom, Sandy, Rosie, Tim, Tina, Tiffany, Dennis, Karen, Ray, Kelly, Cheryl, John, and Terri. We love you. Thank you for asking us to come share a really fun weekend.
