dear jonathan

you only have one life, live it for Jesus. invest your life in what truly matters - God's word and souls- so that when you stand before your Creator to give an account of your life, you will not be ashamed.

"According to the grace of God, given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw - each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire."

1 Corinthians 3:10-15 (ESV)

live for Christ's reward and commendation.

by God's grace and for His glory,
charissa

your dad

your dad has been your role model and mentor. praise God for a godly father - a man of faith and prayer. i am glad he discipled you. interestingly you are growing more and more like your dad... i mean that as a compliment. treasure and cherish him and tell him how much you love and appreciate him. as he and your mom get on in years, you will need to take a more active role in caring for them and their health. its wonderful you came to camp to show him some support.
