Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

Matthew 7:24-25

When we went to camp Roger for leadership camp I missed the first day but the second day I made it there(I was sick). But on the second day when we choose the verse I obviously didn’t get my verse chosen but we did get a very good verse I think.

I think being an 8th grader means to be a leader and a good example. Like in seventh grade we saw something that the 8th graders did and we would follow their example. It also means making good choices and thinking about how you want the school to act. It also means school will be harder and more homework.

Being a christian to me is to follow God’s word and to tell others about it. If none of us told other that are not a believer about it they would most likely not know about him. It also means to not do wrong of course we will mess up in life. But if you now you are breaking a rule why are you doing it then.

Our theme this year, “Built on the Rock”, means a lot to me as an 8th grader at ZCS and as a Christian in the world. To follow God and not do wrong on purpose. It also means to me to leave a good example for young kids or maybe older kids or parents.
