Church was great today. We had service this morning, despite my voice, I was able to preach and one was saved. PRAISE GOD!!! Then tonight Bishop Norris preached a powerful message. Then we had a baptism service.
I enjoy my church family and friends. The longer we are here the more I love them. They have been great. I am praying God's blessings on their lives.
Well next week seems to be a busy week and it has already got started. God will give us grace to accomplish everything I need too. God has a great plan for all of us. I want to fulfill my destiny in Christ.
Until next time...........Keith

CAMP and more CAMP
I just got back from Senior High Camp in NC. It was my first time working this camp and my wife and I served as the deans. What a tremendous experience and what a wonderful time we had. The power of God was there and his presence was incredible.
In the staff service on Sunday night we had a tremendous time as we dedicated ourselves to God for this week. God moved in a mighty way. We prayed a prayer that God would start on Monday night and it would not let up. God not only answered our prayer he out done himself. God is so amazing. Monday through Friday were powerful services. Unique and powerful. Worship lead by my new found friend Adam Herrod was incredible. (If I ever start a church I will hire you in a heart beat). It is amazing to see young people worship the way they did. Running, dancing, singing, miming, rejoicing, and loving. They did it all with a pure heart. God is so faithful.
Friday night we anointed them to be a mighty generation. A generation of warriors. We broke a backsliding, divorcing, and a fearful spirit over them. We released them in anointing and power to preach, teach, pastor, prophesy, heal, deliver and change their world. GOD IS GOING TO DO IT THROUGH THEM.
What a week....words are insufficient to tell all God did.

Just some thoughts...
Getting ready to head to work in Senior High camp in North Carolina. We are looking forward to this. Please be praying for God to do a great work in the youth that will attend. I will be preaching the staff service on Sunday night and the camp service on Friday.
God's grace is so sufficient and I learn that everyday. His grace is just perfect though. I have seen his grace in the face of campers that we have picked up from camp this year. Their smiles and joy shows. It can only come from Jesus.
So it brings me back to several questions I have asked. What are we doing to really change the life of a teenager? It takes more than just planning a service. It takes a relationship with them. Most adults run from those. Don't run from it, run to it. The life of a teen could very well be in your hand

Been a few days
It has been a few days since I last blogged. So I will try to catch up on my thoughts while not boring you to death. So here goes.......
What are we really missing? It seems of late, that often times we just miss something in our walk with Christ. I am not sure when it actually happens but it does. Seems there are dry spells so to speak. I am sure I am not the only one to have these times of "Where are you at God?" moments. This one just seems to come at the wrong time.
It is camp season and well I am involved in camp. Dean next week, evangelist the week after that. So now is a time I really need to be filled up. However, shouldn't I always be filled. God wants me too. However at the same time, how can God fill something that is already filled.
We all have to empty out ourselves and then be refilled. God will pour into you all that you need when you need it. You have what you need when you need it. Right now I need him and He is there. I guess being empty is not always bad when you know you are going to be filled with His presence.
I keep searching, praying, seeking, knocking, looking and I know i will find Him

Some thoughts........
Well today I turned 33 (June 10, 2008). I thank God for everyday I have. God has been so faithful to me over these few short years. I praise him for all He has done.
I am busy getting ready for camp and all the summer stuff. It has been busy and will get even more so. I am excited about what God is doing. Many of us miss out on what God is doing. I, however, do not want to miss what our God is doing. Everyday I pray for more of Him. Let me lose myself and let me be found in Him. It is my honest heart desire.
This Sunday is the monthly youth service. I am praying for a move of God. Please help me pray for God to move in a mighty way.

Weekend Thoughts
It has been a busy but great weekend. Lynda and I took our graduating seniors to Atlanta to see the Braves and Georgia Aquarium. The Braves game was HOT. It was awful hot. The Georgia Aquarium was incredible. If you ever get a chance to go you need too.
The services today were very good. Lynda and I lead worship tonight. It always a great honor to lead people into presence of God. What a great privelege it is to go into the presence God. God is so faithful to allow us to come into his presence and worship him.
Which brings me to the point for tonight........Why do we sing songs of victory and then turn around and sing songs that are depressing? Victory in Jesus is a powerful and moving song, yet most christians live far beneath it. However, we will get excited about singing stuff that is depressing. I know we serve a powerful God and we should live like He is powerful. Our God is faithful and true. So we need to rejoice and live in joy. I enjoy the presence of God. I know there are times we are going to have problems. Regardless of our situations we should rejoice. God is good. Choose joy. You will never regret it.

Random Thoughts
It has been a few days since I have blogged. So need to do some catching up to do..........
It has been a full week and a full weekend coming up. Youth Service tonight was great. I taught on carrying baggage around. Loaded up the kids with suitcases and taught how we carry this stuff around and it will destroy them. It was a good lesson.
This weekend I will take my senior graduates to Atlanta to a Braves game and the Georgia Aquarium. We should have a great time. Looking forward to getting away myself.
This week also saw some tragic events. A 15 year old boy died. Not exactly sure how, many speculations, but none the less he is dead. At 15 years old and he is dead. It brings me back to an earlier blog, what am I really doing to reach these kids? I want to win them to the Lord. Impact their lives and help them realize their potential. God give me the grace and anointing to do it.

To worship God in EVERYTHING
One of the things I enjoy doing is worshipping God. Often times I feel I don't do it enough. Lately I have tried to make the effort to do it and often as I can.
Coming home from Family Fest 2008 yesterday I was driving the big bus. Since it is just the drivers seat up front no one was around me. It was a good time to pray and think. In it that time I was grateful to dwell on the presence of God, the joy of the Lord and to pray for several request. My thoughts drifted to the fact that many fail to worship God all the time. The Bible teaches us to worship God at all times and that everything we do let us do it for the Glory of God.
So, with that being said as we were playing yesterday in the volleyball tourney and softball tourney I am glad we could give God the glory. When we are washing dishes and clothes and doing all the house work, I am glad to give God the glory. In times of preparing my classes, my studies, and on my job I am glad to give God the glory. In everything I do I want to praise God. I love the 150th Psalm that says "Everything that has breathe praise the Lord." I never want to cease from Praising God.
