As I stare at my white wristband, I can't help chanting to myself, "Victory, sweet victory". Of the 5 years that I have been to Winter Camp, my team has never won first place. I thought all was hopeless, unfulfilled dreams that were never going to be realized. But you know what, life is all about the comeback. This year as part of the yellow team, I have tasted victory. In the words of MLK, "I have reached the mountain and seen what is on the other side!" Thanks yellow team for making my dreams come true. So go on, wear your wristband with pride. Red, Blue, Green, Purple teams - you did okay. Rep your squad. Be a true fan. Me? I am enjoying the white wristband of victory.
Did you guys all have a good time? The food was better this year, the bands were amazing, the weather was good, and there was no crazy teenager drama! It seemed to me that everybody seemed to get along with everybody and life was good. Did you guys know that Cesar had 25 clothes pins from the game by the end of the weekend? He was unstoppable. Aaron Shepard turned 14 years old on Saturday. The kids who came for the first time were awesome. Erik and Vicente took home the gold medal in the ping pong tourney. My son Luke and I went on an extreme 2 hour hike during free-time. It was really an awesome weekend. Be sure to thank those counsellors who came up with us this year. They were really cool for doing that.
Remember, the victory was not only the yellow team's this year. (though the yellow team utterly dominated the competition, unparalleled in winter camp history) The victory also belongs to all of you who took the next step in your walks with Jesus. He loves us so much. He bought us with a price, His own blood. We are His now, we answer to Him, we honor the King, we bow down to the Lord, we are His Own special people. I am proud of you guys who have purposed in your hearts to follow God and not the world. You guys are awesome.

Whatever we go through down here, doesn't compare to what we are going to receive up there. Keep going strong people!

The only reason you won this year was because Tyler and I were not there to hold on to our title of team domination for the past 3 years. Enjoy it now because next year its on!
