THE BLOB!!!!

Go-karts, Coasters, and Family Fun

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Many of you probably are just getting back in the groove from Spring Break fun and excitement.  Though I didn’t truly have a Spring Break, I did get to take a little time off last week to spend time with my family.  My wife and I spent the first half of the week hosting her sister and our niece for a few days.  The girls ate Sushi and got pedicures Monday while I worked and then we spent Tuesday together down in Atlanta eating some scrumptious (read unhealthy) lunch at Johnny Rockets followed by a tour of the New World of Coke.  The 4D experience was pretty cool, but the highlight was the tasting room where much to my dismay, we got suckered into tasting the Beverly.  Yeah, I fell for it…  all of the tour guides rave about the Beverly, so you just have to try it.  Well, spare yourself the agony and take it from me, if you don’t like cough syrup, you probably won’t like this one.  At any rate, we did find a few decent flavors to wash down the despicable Beverly, and then left the tour with our cool little 8 oz bottle of Coke.  With our bellies full of Coke, we made the trek back home and settled in to a local pizza hot spot for some great dinner before retiring for the evening.

I need a Hero!

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

I have the privilege of having a grandfather for a hero.  I am always amazed at the integrity of his character, his  genuine love for others, and his tireless pursuit of Jesus.  He has never failed to encourage me or give me good advice.  He helped me financially while I was in college.  I watched him take in and raise my cousins when they needed someone to take care of them.  I learned how to be a man after God’s own heart by watching my grandfather. More than anything he has been the model of patience and character.  He is the wisest and kindest man I think I have ever known.

If you don’t like horses, stop reading now!

I figured it was about time you heard from the Strong Rock herd.  The horses have wintered well, and are enjoying the new spring grass that’s starting to sprout.  They are shedding their winter coats, and will soon be all slick and shiny, and ready for a summer of camp.  Here’s a preview of this year’s herd.  If you’ve been here before you’ll know most of them, but we have a few new ones to show off as well.  Here goes!

Let’s just start with everyone’s favorite– Taffy! She’s the oldest horse at camp, and is still going strong!

Hanging out with campers…

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Yesterday Rambo and I had the pleasure of visiting Strong Rock Christian School and hanging out with a lot of our past and current campers who attend there.  We ate lunch in the cafeteria and probably saw at least 20 of our former campers throughout the meal.  We had a great time catching up with many of you as well as meeting new friends.  After school we set up in the chapel and hosted a camp informational meeting for prospective campers.  We played pictionary, answered questions and met some great families.
