Rick Rigsby, from Texas A&M on stage at Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs
The first night of the Omaha Men at the Cross is done. It was awesome!
Sitting in the Speakers prayer meeting just before the event, I was struck by the power of God to orchestrate so many things together in a perfect way. There were some great guys in that meeting; Michael W. Smith, Brian Daniel, Gary Rosberg, Joe White, Rick Rigsby, Reggie Dabbs, Steve Farrar, Greg O'Dell, and t heir are others I'm forgetting. The thing I noticed though about that meeting was the unity of Spirit. Just humble guys wanting men to be closer to Jesus.
Rick Rigsby, was one of the speakers Friday night and brought a great challenge to men to be authentic Christians. One of my favorite lines from Rick was "ego is the anesthetic of stupidity". He is also waaay funny. At one point he told the crowd that "To be a good Christian you don't have to have 8 fish on the back of your Pinto." And, any speaker that can reference 8 track tapes and make you laugh, has it going on. Rick really is a great speaker, but more importantly he is a broken man of God who gives Him the glory.
I'll try and post more from the event later today. Greg is ready to go to breakfast.

These posts are having less and less to do with Kanakuk, I am getting near to unsubscribing.
I, on the other hand, love hearing about what Kanakuk as a whole is doing the other 9 months of the year. Kanakuk is a way of life that extends past Kamp boundries.
Can't please them all but you're pleasing me! Keep it up!
That's OK that these posts aren't always about the rah-rah aspect of Kanakuk Kamps. In fact, it's kind of like kamp itself. If you go to the kamp just for the sports or to have fun, you really miss the big picture. It's really about growing closer to Jesus. If this blog helps people do that and if it's usually relevant to Kanakuk and/or its ministries, then by all means I think it's appropriate. Keep doing what you're doing; we love it!
