Nemeiben Lake Canoe Bible Camp

I had a good time getting out of town for the weekend. Even though I am not much of a fisherman, I went on a fishing trip to Nemeiben Lake Canoe and Bible Camp. It was a little bit chilly, so I mostly stayed in doors and did not even try to catch any fish. I left the fish catching up to the hard core fisherman.

Back to school

The 2 day teachers strike will end today and the kids are back to school tomorrow. I hope there are not very many more days of job action and that everything gets settled soon. The teachers union is not winning my support by striking. The teachers going on strike costs me extra money for day care. I am sure many people would like to make the same money as a teacher and have summers off.

Prayer ; Does it make any difference?

I am reading this book by Philip Yancy. It has been very good and I highly recommend it.

A couple of things about prayer, first prayer should change us to the point where we accept God's sovereign will for our lives and second prayer should motivate us as God works through His creation including the actions of His people. God works in mysterious ways and has left His Holy Spirit to guide our prayers and draw us into communion with His Son.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and
forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.
