Long Hollow Church Camp!!

Well, I am home. As I said I went to Long Hollow's church camp. First, I just want to thank the Lord for allowing me to be able to go. And for everyone who got saved!!

While at camp we did such things as going to the water park. Which basically consists of a wave pool, hundred-something ft. slide and a rock climbing wall that squirts you in the face while you are trying to climb it.
Going white water rafting down the Ocoee River. The rapids were class 1-5, and I thought going in Gatlinburg was scary! On the raft you could "ride the bull" which you sat in the front of the boat while going over rapids. That was pretty funny to watch, and do!
Doing high ropes and going to the mud pit. High ropes had a zip line that was 300 ft. up and 1,000 ft. long. That was so much fun!! A rock climbing wall...I was the first one not to make it to the top!! Go ME!!!!! A giant swing that was more scary than the zip line. And the mud pit...let's just say...nasty...that's a good word for it.
On Sunday, we got to do the highlight of camp (other than the worship times)...paintball!!! That was soooo flippin' awesome! And our helmets looked like Master Chief!! We played CTF paintball, and my team won like everytime! I think it was because we had a good strategy. I really wanted to get hit just so I could have a bruise and say "Hey, I got this from paintball." When we actually got there I decided I really did not want to get hit...but that did not totally happen. I got hit with a paintball that did not pop (or whatever they do) and I did get a bruise...but it went away that day:( I had 3 people shooting me at one point, but no one hit me. Then, our game got rained out. Next year, I am going to kick some monkey in paintball.
The best things, Rudy (the camera guy) got it all on DVD. So we get to buy them!

Every night we had evening service. All of them were such a blessing! The camp pastor was awesome! One night in particular he preached on getting baptized on the right side of your Salvation. So since I was a baby when I was baptized, which was obviously on the wrong side of my Salvation...I am getting baptized tomorrow night at Long Hollow. The band was super cool. They play songs like "Somebody Like You" by Keith Urban, "Beautiful One" by By The Tree, "Blessed Be Your Name" by Tree63 and "With Or Without You" by U2. It was awesome!
Other than walking away with amazing sermons and awesome experiences. I am walking away with new friends, Gonzo, Phil, Johnathan, Amanda, Paige, Taylor, Emily, Hallie, Haily. Most of all I am walking away with an even stronger love for Christ!!! WIDE OPEN!! God Bless you all!!

Camp!

I am leaving for camp tomorrow morning at 7:00 and will not be back until Moday, June 27 at about 3. So, of course, this will be my last post for a little while! I just wanted to say before I leave, I'm sorry. This past year so much has happened. I know that is no excuse, but I have done/said some stuff that should not have been done/said. For that I am truly sorry. The Lord really convicted me of some stuff and I have had the chance to apologize to some of you. Some of you have have not had the opportunity. I would never want to do something that would hurt any of you. Each of you hold a special place in heart and life. I love you all! -Stephers

Yippee!

I got my license today! As did 'Cowprincess' I am soo excited! Although, I think anyone could get it. The tester guy was like not all with it or something. He did not even look at the clipboard, not to mention one of the first things he said was "I am going to cheat" and did not have me check my lights or signals or anything of that nature. Just thought I'd post something.

Ohhh..the Insanity...the insanity continues!

For those who might not realize or who have never seen the movie, the post I put up called "Ohhh..the Insanity" is from the movie Napoleon Dynamite! When Kip is singing about LaFawnda (however it is spelled.) I think I would have someone put me in an insane assylem if I actually wrote that or had a reason for putting it on my blog!!! So I just to say that before people assume I am (In the words of Brak) A crazy Love sick fool! See ya!!

Halo Movie

Yo blogging dawgs! To some of you this may be interesting...to some stupid...to some awesome...to some, this may be old news. I was looking on a Halo website the other day and I stumbled on where it said they were making a Halo movie! They had screenwriter Alex Garland write the script for the movie. Anyway I thought that was just a little bit of interesting information!

Ohhh..The Insanity

To my beloved friends...

Why do you love me? Why do you need me? Always and forever... We met in a chatroom, now our love can fully bloom... Sure the world wide web is great, but you, you make me salivate... I love technology, but not as much as you, you see... But I STILL love technology... Always and forever. Our love is like a flock of doves, flying up to heaven above... always and forever, always and forever... Why do you need me? Why do you love me? Always and forever...

Don't ask...I am feeling kind of crazy.

Cowprincess, I knew you would enjoy this.

Return of the...uhhh...Princess

Yippee! I have finally accomplished getting pictures on my Blog! I am so excited! Anywho, I have returned from my trip to Gatlinburg! I had an awesome time with my family and friend. It was a three days ride (well, more like 3 hours) to the Misty Mountains. With a lot of warg riders (well, construction) to deal with. The Lord really blessed my father with relatively good health while we were away. Praise the Lord!


When we got to our cabin I was SOO glad to see we had a hot tub and a CD player and...the best thing...a t.v. with hook-ups for my XBOX! That was definitely an added plus! I think me and Erulastiel (Sammi) were more excited about that than we were the hot tub. Thank you all who were praying for us! I am truly blessed to know you all!


Penny Lane, I got the pictures...it is just a matter of remembering where I put them...and getting them to you, but I do have them!

Gatlinburg!!


The Misty Mountains...or Smoky Mountains. Which ever you prefer.
