[I know that this is my 3rd post involving the book of Psalm, but I love that book a lot and I find really interesting things to think about that are worth sharing with you. Hope you enjoy this. This post is talking about Christ in the Psalm, how He's portrayed in the verse, and where you can find that this portrayal is fulfilled somewhere else in the Bible. Hope you take the time to look it up. It's interesting how many times He is mentioned in this book. SBF]

Fall Retreat
Here in a couple weeks, John and I both are going to be going with the youth group to the fall retreat at Camp Hickory Hills. I can't wait until it gets here. I think I'm more excited that John is going with us than the retreat. I am really excited about the retreat too, but I'm SUPER glad that John is coming. I think he'll love it and I know that everyone there will LOVE him! He is so good with kids. I guess he gets that from helping his mom, a teacher.
The fall retreat this year has a great theme. It's going to be about choices. I think that this would be a very great thing for our youth group, especially for the oldest members. Friday night, we're going to talk about Daniel's choices. Saturday, we're going to talk about Jesus' choices. For worship on Sunday, we're going ot talk about our faith, the most important choice. We're also going to have three sessions on Saturday. We're going ot talk about career choices, chosing friends, and chosing a mate. All of these choices are big ones, and these people all had big choices to make. I think this will be a great weekend.
I've been thinking about this weekend for weeks, especially here in the past couple weeks. I don't think I've ever had a topic from a retreat on my mind this long before the retreat than I have this time. I've been thinking about me, and if I've been making the right choices. I've also been thinking about the kids this weekend who are going, and about how these topics can benefit them. I've also been thinking about how they're going to turn out when they get out of high school and they "grow up". I've been praying that they make the right decisions and that they grow up to be great christian people.
I just thought I'd share this. This isn't new by any means to anyone. I need to hear this too. The choices we make affect every part of our lives. We have to make sure we make the right decisions, and we don't be to hasty in making them. I'm guilty of being hasty, and I often make the wrong decision. Sometimes we all make wrong decisions, and we have to live with the consequences. That can be hard sometimes. The good thing is, though, that God is there to help us through everything. That's great. Keep that in mind the next time you have to make a decision.

Please pray for Caleb
There is a family that I am truly blessed to know that needs everyones prayers right now. Tim and Tiffany Brown, and their two oldest sons, Cody and Caleb were in Fall Creek Falls over the weekend. While visiting this beautiful place, a falling rock hit their son, Caleb (age 2). He is now in a hospital in Chattanooga, Tn. in a coma and in stable condition at the moment, howver the next 24 hours is VERY critical for him. This adorable little boy might not be the same when he wakes up. The swelling on his brain has gone down, but still not where it needs to be. He just recently was able to start making his own insulin again. His skull was fractured. Please ask everyone you know to pray for him. His family would really appreciate it!
