As the title might entail, as well as my hiatus from this deal, blogging is pretty hard to stay on top of. That being said I think I'm going to start updating more consistently. Today, however, I dont have much to say...... but here is something cool.
I've decided with the couple weeks leading into camp I'm going to start diving into Mark's gospel. With one chapter down I was already reminded of the awesome kind of God we have. The story of the Leper (which I know I've mentioned on here before) just gets me every time. He knew who Jesus was, which led him to break the "rules" of his day and approach him, something that could have resulted in his death. While looking up at Jesus he may have expected a smack in the face, or a disciplinary action for his "offense". Instead Jesus shows a different side. According to some translations he was "filled with compassion" in others he "became angry" (to note it is interpreted based on the Greek he was angry because no others had compassion for this man) - Nevertheless he LOVED this man. While others would have reacted violently or ignored him, Jesus reaches out and touches the man *GASP* - To quote Ravi Zacharias: "This is not a different kind of man we are dealing with, but a different kind of God..."
