Friday was shopping for congress/camp stuff and then McDonalds on Vaden :) In the night there was a Youth Rally at the West (really good!) followed by BBQ at Jessica's!

Yesterday was the Program Staff meeting at Melanies, then I went to Rob, Susan and Tim's students recital, then McDonalds again then practicing for solo then off to Jana's to watch the Oilers WIN. Game 7 here we come!!! Right after the game we mad reservations Monday night at Don Cheerys!! Its going to be a fun time :)

Its been a busy week/weekend. and another busy one to come. I start working at DHQ tomorrow from 8:30-4 until Friday. That's very exciting because its all prep for camp. Which is in 10 DAYS! I can count on my hands now! wooooieee!

Anyways, like I was saying... The Youth Rally was good on Friday night. There were lots of courses sung and one of the ones that stood out was Cast your Burdens Now, here's a song that we sing at least once at week at church. Its one of the kid's favorites but I always loathed it because... Well its not an masterpiece of musical composition by anymeans. Its realllly repetitive, and it just never had a good place in my mind. But boy was I wrong. On Friday night I don't know why, but it actually clued into me what that song was saying. Whenever I sang it before I never payed attention to what I was singing. This simple song has everything you ever need to know about the christian faith summed up in like less than 20 words!

- Cast your burdens on Jesus, for HE cares for YOU! (everything that's weighing you down, Jesus wants to take away because he loves you SOOOOOOO much)
- Lift Jesus Higher! (Praise him for everything he is!)
- Stomp Satan Lower! (self-explanatory)
- Spread the gospel wider! (wittness to tell others about Jesus!)
- Supernatural Powers! (He can do miraculous things!)

Seriously!? Is there any better promise? I think NOT! :)

So from now on I will not 'loathe' this song, because even though its not the most impressive piece of music ever written it still has something even more special in it!

Later Days!!
