Blizzard

On the weekend I had the opportunity to go to the BCOQ youth retreat at Muskoka. This is my third time at Blizzard (I was at the first one nine years ago and last year). I went up with Allison Cole, Karie Schwellinger and Meagan Hayward. There was great music by Life Support (I keep wanting to call them Air Supply for some reason even though they were about as far away from that band as you could get). The speaking was a tag team effort by Tim McCoy and Nathan Gerber. They did a great job in a conversational style of challenging both teens and adults to "take of the suits" or to stop being fake and to get real with Jesus. We had a lot of fun but there was a real sense of God's presence as well. I'm glad I was able to go. Thanks to Amanda for watching all five kids while I was away! Thanks also to Andrew Scholl for taking the services at First Baptist and Woodford while I was away.
