It was a fantastic first day. No issues on the trip here. Attitudes were fantastic. Lot's of getting to know each other. Some times of great laughter. Some serious times.

For our sessions, we are focusing in on Matthew 22:37-40... the greatest commandment. Yesterday we looked at the the key phrase to the first commandment, "Love the Lord your God wit all..."
LOVE - we defined love.
THE LORD YOUR GOD - Is this who we love. Is there something or someone that you would fill in the blank"Love the ______ your God".
ALL - Is it 15%? Sunday and Wednesday only? When I'm around other Christians? Or is it all.

We closed out by looking at I John 4:19... "We love because he first loved us."

We may fall short on the greatest commandment. But Jesus didn't. Jesus doesn't.

Lot's of processing going on.

Tonight we look at what it means to love ourselves. God wants us to have a healthy understanding of who we are in Him. We are going to look at Satan's schemes and how they attempt to keep us from discovering who we are in him.

Well the students are circled up for our morning youth group time. They are going to be sharing a little bit of "What's Right? What's Wrong? What's Confused? or What's Missing? in their life. Pray for a great day.
