A quick explanation
I have taken Steve's original posting of the week-long overview and broken it up into smaller (and daily) pieces to make it easier for us to comment and question individual pieces in a clearer way. I look forward to hearing what all of you do with this exciting material. Please note the oldest material in the blog is further down. It's kind of backward (like Hebrew), but after a while you get used to it.

Colossians 3:12-14
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Josh 1:16-18 Passionate Courage
Then they answered Joshua, "Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only be strong and courageous!"
Josh 4:23-24 Kindness (God’s)
The LORD your God did to the Jordan just what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over. He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the LORD is powerful and so that you might always fear the LORD your God."
Josh 5:13-15 Humility
Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, "Are you for us or for our enemies?"
"Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, "What message does my Lord have for his servant?"
The commander of the LORD's army replied, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so.
Josh 10:13-14 Compassion(God’s)
So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a man. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel!
Josh 14:7-8, 13-14 Patience
I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions,
Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.
Josh 23:14-15 Gentleness
"Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed.
Josh 24:14-15, 24 Unity
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." And the people said to Joshua, "We will serve the LORD our God and obey him."
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Peak Week Overview
This Blog is being established to allow you to be involved in the development of the instructional material for Peak Week-2005. We are presenting a brief overview of our initial thoughts.
The overall idea began as "Passion and Courage". While studying and exploring we were led to the book of Joshua. This book is a study of God's relationship with his "Chosen People". Colossians 3:12-14 instructs the chosen one's to develop certain characteristics and wrap them in forgiving love such that an overriding unity results. We have therefore, attempted to develop these thoughts into a "dynamic", developing study of a passionate, courageous lifestyle of God's Chosen Ones. We intend to present to each other and our campers as a lifelong process that is ever evolving.
Please peruse these thoughts and allow all of us to be the beneficiary. We will keep this going initially for the next ten days. A compilation will be presented and subsequent interaction will occur.
WE ARE PRAYING! Allow God to lead you!

How to create a post on the blog

A starting text
Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them.
Joshua 1:6 NIV

Boundaries
Although this blog is set up so that only members are able to post and respond to it, it is still accessible publicly to anyone who might stumble upon the address. Consequently it is wise to set some boundaries on what might be discussed here. It would be best to avoid any discussions of individual camper or staff issues here (which is in keeping with our long-held policy at camp anyway). As we use the blog, we may determine other boundaries which it would be wise for us to set.
When we're quoting someone, let's give a reference. Even if it is a website, it lets us create a link to the site which allows everyone else to go mine the motherlode.
