This past Thursday marked the end of a 6 week ordeal for my good buddy Shem. You see, six weeks ago Shem was out wake boarding before we left for Impact. Upon landing face first into the water, he came up with blood running from his eye. Upon inspection from a doctor, he had cut a 10mm incesion into the outer layer of his eye. His course of treatment? Six weeks of no strenuous activity - ie. 6 weeks with no wake boarding.

With the end of this ordeal - we returned to the same lake, on the same boat to mark the joyful end of Shem’s infirmity.

Mark also got his first shot at wake boarding on Saturday and did amazingly well!

Of course, a sampling of the photos from the rest of the day can be found in the Wakeboarding gallery. I hope to be adding some more photos later this week as I get a chance to go through them.

My church has an annual lake baptism service out at Falls Lake north of Raleigh. Last year was the first year I attended and I promised myself that I would make it again this year! I was able to snag some awesome photos last year and willingly waded out into the lake with camera in hand to take some more photos.

This past week I had the amazing experience of getting to serve middle and high school students at my church’s annual camp - Impact. Back in January or February the Lord laid on my heart to help with this camp and serve in a tech and A/V capacity. I wasn’t really approached by anyone in particular but the need was main known as I viewed what little footage and recordings there were of previous years.

The Lord begin to paint a picture for me of one ministry area serving another ministry area with our own special gifts and talents - a picture of the body of Christ. How could I not listen to God?!?!?!?

While the week was exhausting, I wouldn’t trade it for anything! Not only did I have an opportunity to serve the King but I got to serve my brothers and sisters in Christ using the gifts God has given me.

I encourage you to check out http://impactcamp.wordpress.com for the blog posts we made during camp as well as get access to some photos I posted while at camp to help connect those back home with the students at camp.

More photos and details to come about Impact 2008.

I caught this on Shelly’s blog this morning and it just made my day. Hope you enjoy!
