Camp Widjiwagan (Rough Draft) Albus Dumbledore once said, “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” Often, when summer comes around, many kids begin to dream about summer camp. Some of those kids actually get to live those dreams like I did, at Camp Widjiwagan, this summer. It was one week of a Harry Potter themed, outdoors day camp. Camp Widjiwagan was one of the best camps I’ve been to complete with fun and new learning experiences from the new and different people, to all the…

It appears to me that God would not have just chosen seven specific churches. What about the church at Jersualem, Antioch, Colosse, Corinth, and others. We as christians today can be confident that during this life and the life after, that God has our welfare in his best interests. Revelation was written to provide encouragement and comfort to Gods people. God wanted…

We’ve all seen them. You know, those heart-wrenching commercials about the impoverished children far off in third-world countries.

Bruce W. Longenecker’s book Lost Letters of Perfamum has been a delightful easy read. This book is both educational and easily entertaining. The book is a fictional account of letters discovered in the city of Pergamum that once belonged to Antipas, the martyr mentioned in Revelation 2:13 who died in Pergamum.
