The Wolfe Pak …
Carson spent his last week of summer at Camp Voyager w/ FBC, Spartanburg. He had a blast with friends and camp counselors (who told me they were “in love” with him)! He literally got off the bus from camp, ate, then got back on a bus to attend Discipleship Weekend with Chase and nearly 400 teens from FBC. They are going through Experiencing God this fall.

• 20-22—Men’s Retreat at Pine Cove Camp in Tyler, TX.

“Open your mouth wide and I will fill it” (Ps. 81:10).

When God is ready to feed me, humble pie and the Beatitudes are almost always on the menu!
“I am broken, I am mourning, I surrender, I am hungry, Have mercy, Purify me, Peace abiding, in Your Kingdom, Be glorified revealing Christ in me.” These are the words of a chorus God sang through my heart this month (based on Matt. 5:3-9). They encompass the requirements for a heart ready to receive from Him; perhaps they are even the evidence of Jesus pressing in on mortal flesh. Without the recognition of personal bankruptcy and depravity there will not be a desperate thirst and hunger for the life God wants to give; there will not be a mouth wide open.
