Hey everyone! I am still working on getting healthy, but i want to thank all of you for praying for me! Your prayers are helping, and i thank you for taking the time to do so.

Well, Summer Team leaves for Indiana tomorrow morning. It should be the easiest week of camp all summer because we aren't leading worship, family groups, or anything! We have one class to teach, and then we just get to hang out with people! Should be sweet!

God is so good too! I am simply amazed by His forgiveness, His love, and His genuine care for our lives. I am really excited to see what He has planned for the rest of this summer, and for my lifetime. I don't have the words to describe how awesome God is in my life because He is indescribable. I just love the fact that He pours His love, hope, joy, and so much more into our lives when we surrender ourselves to Him. I was reading in Mark and i love the quote from Jesus in Mark 98.34b-35 "If anyone would come after me, he must eny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Foe whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it." It is just awesome how scripture can cut through your life and cut away the "dead branches" that keep you from being closer to God. Praise God! Amen!?!

Well, i love you all very much. I will be in Indiana this week, and Wisconsin next week. Hopefully after that i will be able to get back on here and let you know how things are going! God Bless!

Hey everyone!

Well, i should be down in Iowa with the Summer Team right now, but i came down with bronchitas in both of my lungs. I am actually in Duluth right now resting at my parents' house. Your prayers for quick healing would be appreciated.

This summer has been a blast though! Two weeks ago the crew from Rochester was at PCHA, and that rocked! Jenny, Sara, Dora, Julia, Callie, Jimmy, Jay, Jon, etc...all great young people that i got to have some fun times with. There are a lot more people i could mention, but i can't get everyone!

So yeah, that's about it for now. We head to Indiana on Saturday i believe...hopefully i am fully recovered by then! I hope to hear from you all soon! God Bless!

Hey everyone!

Camp is going great so far. We're keping incredibly busy, but we are stayng healthy, so that is a good thing! We're playing fireside and Vespers at PCHA this week, so we're having a blast with that.

This last weekend we went into Park Rapids and watched the new Batman movie...i kind of liked it. It was fun to go to a cheaper theater and watch a movie. I hope that you are all doing well. Your contined prayers would be greatly appreciated. Have fun enjoying the summer everyone!

Much love,

Luke

I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to put something new on here. Being home was absolutly wonderful. Incredibly relaxing, restful, etc. It is such a blessing to have a Christian home to return to from time to time. So, to catch you up on life...

God is faithful, shows endless love, and incredible patience with us. I am absolutly amazed how He takes us back every time we stumble. It is such a blast reading the Bible, studying, praying, and all of that wonderful stuff. He has blessed me richly this last week.

I found out that i had an old bank account that i didn't even know existed, and there was $100 in there! So i got that money, and my parents helped me to buy a new digital camera for this summer! It is very cool. I also got to work on my drums (the real ones) and i am still working on them. I went golfing for the first time in ove two years...it was good. I actually found more golf balls on the course than i lost playing a round, so I came out on top there too.

This weekend is my last weekend drumming at MPCC for a while since i'll be traveling with Summer Team, so i am having a blast with that this weekend. Last night i got to talk with Megan for a nice long while...she rocks my world. Then, tonight i got to chat with my little sister for a while (she really rocks too ) I hear that Ben Ewing got a new puppy, so i'll probably have to go check that out this week sometime.

Keep seeking God with all of your hearts people...his rewards are so much better than anything this world has to offer! God bless you all!! Much Love

It's good to be home!!! I am up in Duluth spending some quality time with my family. I've been doing all sorts of cool stuff lately. The first cool thing that i did was to leave Rochester at 2:45am and i got home to Duluth around 6:30am. Yes, i said A.M. I couldn't sleep, so i decided to be productive and take a roadtrip home. Call me crazy...but sometimes that is just the way i am!

Some of the fun things i've done since i got home...
1. Saw my family and some of my neighbors
2. Ate my mom's cooking
3. Slept
4. Put our dock into the lake
5. Played with my sister Abbey, and the neighbor kids.
6. Had some great conversations with my parents
7. Had a hummingbird fly into my eye (i can still see)
8. Watched the Beverly Hillbillies

It may not sound that exciting, but it has been incredibly relaxing for me. I brought some drum equipment (my cymbal kit and my new snare) and let my dad play it this weekend on worship team at church. Wow...he was sure having fun. He thinks i should leave it here, but i told him i have a ministry that is already using the stuff. Haha...it's cool having a dad that plays the drums after he is 50 years old!

Speaking of which, i think i'm going to go chill with him for a while. We're going to a memorial day ceremony honoring my deceased grandfather with my grandma tomorrow, and then having company. I love you all, and hope to hear from you soon!
