Bobber Bill's Fishing Report
"Fishin' is the Mission" 

Praise God for an awesome Men's Advance! 125 men (new record). Superb teaching (Walk Through the OT). New "Manthem!" Barbecue chicken. And 2700 pavers! That's how many blocks were removed from the Chalet's flat-roof deck during free time in prep for this week's roof replacement. What a blast!  And what a picture of Camp Lebanon's trademark teamwork that gets things done, shares burdens, and stretches ministry dollars. In the end, the Kingdom expands and God gets the glory. Let's do it again!  [ click here for the Men's Advance! "Challenge Riddle" )

VIDEO: "The Chair"

Perspective can change everything.  Watch as Mike Donehey (lead singer of Tenth Avenue North) talks about the perspective that we have when we look at those around us.  We recommend reading the comments on the YouTube video as well, as there is wisdom in both applications of the chair.
2 Timothy 3:16-17

"All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God might be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Mother - Daughter (& Grandma) currently holds a four point lead in the race. Men's  Advance! currently sits in second, but will only lose ground from here since the retreat was just held.
