Beach Retreat 2010
Last week was our High School Beach Retreat. I really love Beach Retreat because we see God do awesome things in the lives of students every year. But this year seemed very unique. There was a different spirit about Beach Retreat this year. Our students came with a unique anticipation. There was a unique feel of community about the week. And I think God's Spirit worked in a unique, life-altering (and ministry altering) way.
I'm not sure I know how to explain it, and I'm not sure I know what it will look like, but just 2 days back, I think we're already seeing things happen like never before.... I'm sure as the weeks pass, God will reveal more of what He has in store, but I can't wait to see where God takes all of the Second Students on this journey!
Here are a few pictures from the week:

PRIMAL - A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity
I recently had a chance to review a new book by Mark Batterson (author of In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day and Wild Goose Chase), called PRIMAL: A Quest for the Lost Soul of Christianity. (Thanks Mark and Liz!) Here is a small taste of what the book is about, as well as my thoughts:
When Jesus was asked what was the number one command, He responded with this: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength... and love your neighbor as yourself." Sounds like 2 commands, but maybe it's just one...
Mark Batterson makes a challenge for all Christ followers that we all need to be reminded of, and we all need to focus on. If we can simply live up to this primary command, it would be revolutionary, not just for our lives, but all over the world!
If you haven't created a reading list for the new year - or even if you have - put PRIMAL at the top of that list and make it your first read of the new year!
