Camp is Good!
I'm home from a week at a student camp - Camp Chaparral. I was there teaching students how God created them for a place of ministry and encouraging them to involved - somehow. . .somewhere. I was also the guest of Pam & Steve Sparks. They are wonderful friends from my Lufkin days. Steve is the Assistant Director of the camp.
Better give a shout out to the staff - Hey Mike, David, Heather, Doug, Tim, Nate, Govani (spelling?) - thanks for a great week. These guys work really, really hard to make your camp stay the greatest. And it was.
But I'm exhausted!
I'm beginning to wonder if I'm getting too old for this kind of thing? The worship was great - thanks to the brown band! Hey Michell, Gabi, Rooster, Noah, and #14. They'll get it.
Jon Randles really challenged us with his messages - 7 Marks of a Disciple. Need a speaker that speaks truth with wisdom? Get Randles. College or students. He's good.
But the late nights and early mornings - WHEW!! It doesn't do a body good, especially this one.
Did get to hang with Mom last night. She picked me up and we had the evening together. I fear I wasn't much fun, though. I was tired and didn't feel like talking much. Oh well.
I will provide pics and stories later, thought I would update the ol' blog-a-roo.

Do not fear!!! Hanging with you is enough. I love just being with you words or no words.
I treasure each moment.
Thank you for just hanging...
Love
MOM
I, too, heard parts of the interview. I have checked a couple of web sites that note the parallels between Superman and Jesus. I think there are a lot of similarities, but they stop where Lois and Superman have a son together and Lois is living with a man she won't marry and hasn't told her "boy friend" that the son she has is Superman's.
The parallels between Superman and Jesus are numerous. Too numerous in fact to list her.
The one thing I THOUGHT I heard Tuesday morning was something the person being interviewed said about Lois having a miraculous birth because Superman and Lois didn't have a sexual encounter. Sorry, I don't buy it. How can it be his son if he is a parallel Jesus? And I refer to Perry White's reference to Lois' article entitled "I Spent the Night With Superman."
I just think that before we start drawing direct parallels we need to look at the entire picture presented by the movies.
I still agree that there are both character traits as well as personalistic parallels that can be made. And I'm sure someone will definitely use them. Just be careful where you draw the line.
