@BrittRooted Yesssss. I went to a rogue food conference a few weeks ago and one of the docs there said he was successfully treating long covid with it- and he recommended it for alzheimers as well...mind blown...
@DennisCCook Or living in areas of the state where mom and pop stores CLOSE during UK games... and everyone local knows better than to show up during a game...
@DennisCCook Or being in the ER once upon a time, in SE KY, during a certain, specific, UK-Duke game, and having to wait with your friend, who had a suspected concussion, while the everyone watched the game....
700+ people gathered last night at FBC Rocky Mount for an NC Baptist Singers & Orchestra concert. Attendees worshipped together and collected $20k+ to support @nc_missions' disaster recovery efforts in western NC. #OnMissionTogether

10 People at Every Christian Youth Camp.
One of my absolute favorite things to do every Summer for the last 20 years is to preach Christian Youth Camps. However, no matter what Camp it isโฆ these 10 people are sure to be there.
1. The Over-Zealous Adult Playing Recreation Games: This is best known as the Uncle Rico syndrome after the character from Napoleon Dynamite. โI bet I can throw a football over that mountain.โ In their mind, the older they get, the better athlete they once were. And, theyโre going to prove it by drilling a seventh-grader in the face with a dodge ball for the glory of God.
2. The โAre You Looking at Me While I Worshipโ Person: Theyโre in the moment, singing Gratitude off-key with hands lifted high, and while a single, solitary tear streams down the left-side of their faceโฆ they give a quick glance to see if anyone else sees just how passionate they are about a โlion inside their lungs.โ
3. The Teenage Boy Who Tries to Hug All the Crying Girls: The Lord is moving and so are the tears. Then, almost out of thin air, here he comes, the teenage boy who is just perfectly placed in order to be available to comfort all the crying girls. But there are no friendly side-hugs in this broโs repertoire; heโs got one pitch, and every hug is a full-front disaster.
4. The Student Who Makes Multiple Decisions at the Same Camp: Itโs a busy week of walking aisles, praying prayers and filling out cards for this student. Itโs a steady progression of re-dedication, a call to missions/ministry, then re-dedication again, but for real this timeโฆall in one four-day span.
5. The โSneaker-Offerโ Couple: The scavenger-hunt is on for the couple who keeps โsneaking-offโ or โgetting lost.โ โHey! What are you two doing?โ โWe were just standing here, praying.โ โWell, it looks like youโre praying in tongues, so how about we call timeout on this prayer session?โ
6. The Teen Who Is at Camp on Scholarship, but Brings $200 Cash: The student pastor cut some back-room deals with the senior adult Sunday school class, they sacrificially and generously gave, and now this one student is able to come to youth camp totally free of charge. He may not show up with a Bible, but by golly heโs got enough money to buy two of every shirt at the bandโs merch table, plus enough sugar snacks at the snack shack to put a Clydesdale into a diabetic coma.
7. The Student Who Spends All Their Concession Stand Money on the First Day: She bought $25 worth of Sour Skittles and Pepsi on Day 1. Now on Day 2 sheโs camped out in front of the concession stand shaking a Pepsi cup for spare quarters. (Note: In some rare unconfirmed cases, Person Number 6 and Person Number 7 may occur in the same person.)
8. The Teenager Who Returns Home With All His Clothes Still Folded in His Suit Case: The good news? Thereโs no laundry to do after camp. The bad news? That student came home in a dense fog of filth, adolescent stench and enough Axe body-spray to choke a moose. Your church van will never be the same again.
9. The Student Who Thinks Swimming Counts as a Shower: They canโt even tell you where the showers are because they havenโt taken one all week. โHow?โ You ask? Well theyโve been in the pool, the river or the lake already that day. That counts, right? (Note: Unlike the incredible and rare Person Number 6 and 7 Combo, chances are extremely high that Person Number 8 and Person Number 9 are the same person. Be warned.)
10. The Student Pastor Who Believes That What Theyโre Doing Matters: Alright, alright time to get serious. Student pastor, keep your eyes on the prize. Your calling is so incredibly important because the Spirit is working through you to help reach, disciple and empower the next generation to be on mission right now for the glory of our Risen King. God bless you for your sacrifice and obedience. May the Lord constantly fill you with energy, patience and perseverance, because what youโre doing really does matter.
