Instead of daily reflection on scripture the next few days, I’m going to write  a quick review of BaseCamp of the previous day.  Yesterday, me and my crew of teens went out after breakfast and morning worship to work.   I have a crew of kids that didn’t know each other.  They were from different towns, different churches, had different personalities, they were just all different from each other.

And, at first, it was a little ackward.  It’s tough not knowing folks and trying to figure out what to do.

And then, we went to work. And these four young folks went to work and worked HARD in the middle of the Mississippi summer.  And I was very proud of them.

And it reminds me of something that I know to be true, but I’ve seen over and over again.  When people, churches, people, families have no mission, no purpose, no vision, we will fuss. We will fight a little.  We might not get along.

But, when we have a mission to be about, we focus on that, and we see great things happen.  When we work together on a mission.

So, as individuals, as members of a church, what is your mission?  What is the mission of your church?  Where do you fit?  What are you doing for that mission?

We all have a part to play, we all have something we can do for that mission.

Today, may we find out where we fit in that, and may we be about the mission God has given us.
