A Note from Tom: July 2nd
Hey, everyone!!
Hope this is one of the best weeks of your life! Actually, that’s a saying they use in Young Life when high school kids go to Young Life camp. They always promise “the best week of your life!” Usually is. But every day has awesome stuff in that God has for us…and every week is part of a beautiful plan He is working out to make you into the special “You” only you could ever be…and every day you can ask our Lord to do special stuff for you, and when He answers you, you can say, like the folks in Luke 5, “We have seen remarkable things today." So in some ways, the week you’re living is always the “best week of your life”!
Speaking of the best week of your week, it was an awesome one down at Sharp Top Cove last week! I got to go down and do some jobs to help out. I realized that the whole week I just wore shorts and t-shirts the whole time I don’t always get to work like that ‘cause sometimes…well, you know how it is…
But it was fun while it lasted! One T-shirt I have (NO idea where it came from!) says “Snowbird” on the front. Apparently, it’s the #1 ski resort in America…top elevation is 11,000ft…gets 550” of snow each year…(whoever is responsible for Wikipedia knows everything about everything!)
Anyway, I’ve never been there and don’t know anything about Snowbird, Utah. I just have the T-shirt. One thing that was super cool about Sharp Top was how many CCC T-shirts you’d see during the week! The blue one with “Triple C” on the front was a common sight…The John Deere green one was around a lot. It was amazing how many folks from C3 know and care and love what Young Life does in reaching kids for the Kingdom of God!
In fact, one thing Young Life is kinda famous for is T-shirts! There’s one for every occasion and they sell them at the Sharp Top store. After kids had fallen in love with the place, you’d see a lot of new Sharp Top T’s around.
Sometimes kids would be wearing a Sharp Top t-shirt the way I worn my Snowbird one. I really don’t know what Snowbird is all about. And even though kids in their new Sharp Top shirts had ‘em on ‘cause they were there, some didn’t know what Sharp Top was all about. They thought it was about having a blast with your friends and screaming down monstrous zip lines into lake water and laughing your head off. But they were about to find out that Sharp Top’s really about kids hearing…some for the first time…about the God Who loves them more than they could dream, and Who would rather die than live without them! They were about to find out that it was all about them beginning a whole new life with Him if they wanted! They had the T-shirt, but at first didn’t know that Sharp Top was where everything was about to change forever.
But the ones in the Triple C T-shirts knew!
