Justin and I were able to take our first fishing trip. While we were in New York, we went to Grampa Hallenbeck's pond and cast our lines in. Justin caught 3 or 4 fish on his own, one being about a 13 inch large mouth bass. He was definetly thrilled. He wanted to "pet" them all before we threw them back. It was fun and now he is after me to go again or at least let him go to the creek out back and fish.
Congratulations are in order for Howard & Charolette Hallenbeck, my wife's grandparents. This past week they celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary. We were able to make a quick trip to New York (YUK) and help celebrate this special time in their lives. It was a short trip, but it was good to see everybody from up there again.
Mt. of Blessings Camp is a District Camp of God's Missionary Church, Inc. that our church is heavily involved in. There are many in our congregation that got their spiritual start on the mountaintop. Some got sanctified there. Others have found spiritual renewal in those ten days. This year was no different. Peopel found the Lord as their personal Savior. Other were reclaimed and renewed. Things are on the upswing at Mt. of Blessings. I am told that in "days of old" this campground was a lively place. The tabernacle used to filled and overflowing. Well, that isn't exactly how it is now, but with God's help, we are again moving in that direction. This year we averaged around 55 kids in our morning VBS time in the Children's Tabernacle. Around 40 young people were regular attenders throughout camp. To me, that is very encouraging. The future looks bright and considering that God is still on the throne, no telling what will happen on the mountaintop in the future. This year, I was elected as Camp President so I desperately need prayer. But I am convinced that God still has something special in store for those who seek Him.
