Student Camp: Day One

Here are some highlights of my time with 107 Students and adults at Student Camp 2010.

• Spending 7 hours on a bus with Waters Edge Students. I'm not going to lie we have the best students ever. They make spending time on a bus fun.
• Taking an extra 15 minutes to count, check off names on a roster, and double count students after lunch.  My worst fear, in almost the whole entire world, is leaving a Student at a rest-stop or lunch break.  I was on a trip once, as a high school student, when the youth pastor left a student after lunch.  He had driven almost an hour a way before he realized the student was missing. 
• Not being late to check in at camp. Almost every year we are late. This year we got there with time to spare.
• Spending time with the leaders. We have 10 leaders this year. They are AWESOME!
• Seeing Clayton King and the rest of the Crossroads staff.  We've been to Crossroads for six years now. Clayton is the founder and main speaker.  Our church has built a good relationship with them over the years at camp. 
• Seeing 27 students stand to ask Jesus into their lives! I couldn't help but cry when I saw our students stand. I never know how they are going to respond. I beg God every year to move in their lives and He never lets me down.
