"O taste and see how gracious the Lord is, Blessed is the man that trusts in Him."   Psalm 34:8

The Groom

It was in a Sunday school class when the realization that each one of my sins would have to be paid for took place. I was very young, but the testimony my classmate gave while standing in front of the class was completely compelling. She told of how she knew that Jesus had made a way for all the bad things she had done to be erased. My parents had already taught me John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” But that was the day that I understood that Jesus would save me from my sin and make sure that I could get into heaven. The older I become, the more I understand about what took place that day, and the more I marvel at God’s willingness to save anyone, let alone me. And the more I look around and see the countless people frantically searching for a way to escape the weight of guilt that their sin brings, the more I thank the Lord for paying my penalty, and saving me from my sin at a young age. In an attempt to prepare myself for whatever God intended for my future, I attended Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC. Unsure of what direction the Lord had for my life, I enrolled in the School of Religion as a Bible Major. Expecting I would receive a specific “calling” before I graduated, I was surprised at the seemingly conflicting desires I had about how to serve the Lord even after my degree was finished. It was while serving at Camp Joy in Whitewater, Wisconsin I finally felt peace about how my life could be used to advance the cause of Christ. I am glad that "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” Ps 34:37. Sarah and I are looking forward with great anticipation to how the Lord will continue to lead and direct us into full time Christian camp work.
