Can't Hear That

I spent this past week at the NWO Kid's Camp at Camp Bond in Tishomingo. I had an absolutely amazing time. This was my first camp experience - ever. I never did the whole camp thing when I was younger, I just never really found it all that interesting I guess. For what it's worth, I think I missed out on a lot of fun.

This week was eye-opening for other reasons as well. I realized once again how kids just have it so much more together than we do. They really get it - the love of God, how we should act, etc. Looking at the kids singing the worship songs, singing with all their heart, was very touching.

Today in church, this was once again reinforced. During his sermon, Jon showed us a gift his daughter made for him for his birthday. It said on it "Jesus died for you. I would too." Wow. I was kind of taken aback by this. How many people can I say without a shadow of doubt that I would die for? More so, why do I only have certain people on that list? If I am called to be Christlike, shouldn't the list not exist? Shouldn't be an all encompassing list that's not even a list at all but an understanding that God loves you unconditionally, so I will too?

The kids get it. I pray that I'll get it, too.
