Here Comes The Avalanche

The weekend is upon us! I have been waiting for this weekend for quite a while. It is Avalanche 2006! For those of you who don't know, Avalanche is a junior high retreat at a nice resort up north. I have had the privilage to take some junior highs up last year, where they had a really great time, and now I get to take some more up this weekend! I'm very excited, as I have been able to come to this retreat when I was in high school (Blizzard) and now I get to be a leader. It's very fun.
It's very exciting to watch these kids experience God in a way they've never known. Through worship and through prayer. The questions they come up with and the way they can realize that God can be really fun! It's a very fun-packed weekend with rock climbing and tubing and lots of other fun stuff. This year, they added karaoke, I'm so there. It's cool. My kids are very excited about basketball and dodgeball. I can't wait to go tubing, but most of all, I'm excited for the session. Our speaker is very good with this age group; the kids actually listen to him.
We get the opportunity to be Team Blast this year, which is great, because I have always been Team Blast (with the exception of one year when I was Storm). This is great because I have already got the Blast Spirit!
It should be a great weekend. I'm looking forward to getting to know the kids better, and having a nice, spiritual weekend away, with Kari. I can't wait.
We're leaving Friday, so please pray for good weather and a safe trip there and back.
