These are questions I simply cannot answer. Robots aren't the brightest beings.
I don't think I have told you on this blog yet about AM/PM, which stands for "A Morning Prayer Meeting". We have them every Thursday before breakfast at Camp Phillip in the Bowl. It is a nice chance for all of camp to come together and grow in prayer and praise with each other. We sing songs we don't normally get a chance to sing during the week, but the emphasis of AM/PM is always on prayer. Too often in life we forget to talk to God about our problems and concerns - when He is the One and only being who can really and truly change our circumstances. Getting a chance to reflect and spend time in prayer with God is a great blessing of AM/PM; it's just a refreshing way to start a day out with the right perspective! Alex Randazzo and Clare Sievert have led AM/PM all summer long - thanks for all you do planning this every week!

Today's passage comes from Joshua 1:9:
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Can I just say that I LOVE THIS PASSAGE?! WHAT A COMFORT!! No matter what we do, no matter where we go, no matter what happens to us, we don't have to be terrified. We don't have to be discouraged - GOD, the Author of everything, is WITH US! I always get discouraged in life. I try and I try and I try but I never seem to get ahead in accomplishing earthly goals. I get terrified because I worry that my best isn't good enough, or that my faith isn't strong enough, or why would Jesus even love ME if I sin so much all the time? Yet here in Joshua, God Himself comes to us with warm words of comfort - "Be strong and courageous!" We have God on our side. There's no need to fear!
