JK

 Have you ever made fun of a person and then said, "Just Kidding!" After it?  I know I have.  And I know that what usually comes before saying, "just kidding," is usually pretty hurtful.

Proverbs 26: 18-19 say, "Just as damaging as a madman shooting a deadly weapon is someone who lies to a friend and then says 'just kidding.'"

This stuck out to me today because I have said some pretty hurtful things followed by that phrase.  My words to everyone are not always uplifting.

What will I change today?  I will continue to check my words before they come out of my mouth.  And if I am put in a situation where I may need to say, "just kidding," after I say something, I will choose not to say it!

If you have been around me at all the past three years, you know I am still the Interim Director of Youth Ministries here at camp.  Today I will finally have my interview to discern my future here at camp.  Please be praying for the process, and for the ultimate decision.  Thank you so much for your support!
