The Rebelution Tour 2009

Mom, Dad, Coleton, Samuel, Miranda and I went to Gadsden, Alabama for one of the Rebelution's "Do Hard Things" conferences this past weekend. The sessions were amazing! We four kids all got Rebelution t-shirts and Coleton and I got Abort73 t-shirts, too. Here are the pictures.

Mom and Mrs. Campagna. You have no idea how many tries it took to get this

picture right. Two certain brothers just had to stick their faces in.

Brett Harris and I. I got him and Alex to sign my Rebelution shirt.

Alex and us three.

I am also going to post my notes from each of the five session every week. This week I will do 1 and 2, since they were blended together.

Session 1-2:

-Jeremiah 1:4-8; Jeremaih was "only a youth" when God called him to prophesy (sp?).

-The culture of today shackles young peoples' minds by saying we should be free to do whatever we want.

-Why is it that young people of the past were able to adult work, but we think it is too hard?

-The idea of work is foreign to us.

-How did low expectations come about?
-Around 1900, child labor laws required young people to go to school. Suddenly, we were

given more free time than we knew what to do with; we "needed" to be entertained.

-The most we expect of ourselves should actually be the least we expect of ourselves. The

ceiling is where the floor should be.

-1 Corinthians 14:20; 1 Timothy 4:12

-Paul does not say in 1 Cor. 13:11, " When I was a child, I thought like a child, I thought like a

child, I spoke like a child, I reasoned like a child. And then I became a adolescent; I looked

like a man, I spoke like a man, BUT I acted like a child."

-When we meet low expectations, we are telling God, "Thanks, but my way is better."

-God's Word, and history, tells us we can do better than just the bare minimum. Just look at Clara

Barton, George Washington and David Farragut's lives.
