More then Mere Fun

Last week Nolan spent a few days in a beautiful chalet up in the mountains with his classmates and  the other BCS middle school students.  It was a given that he would have a great time, how could he not?  Hanging out with his friends, having a game room to his disposal, access to unlimited hot chocolate, a sledding & snow ball fight paradise at his door step.  However, when asked what  his favorite part of the whole retreat was, he took none of the above choices.  It was the Bible studies that he liked the most, the worship times and feeling God's presence in the room.  The theme was Faith in Action, and I can attest to the fact that it impacted him deeply, as he is living it out day to day amongst his family, the place which sometimes brings you the biggest challenges.  What a blessing to witness your son's spiritual growth and to have a community that fosters his realtionship with God.
