Scruffy started CamasCon in 2007 with a dream of bringing Christian gamers (and gamers of all kinds) together for a weekend of fun and fellowship. CamasCon has become an amazing chance for us to prayerfully step into a world were Christ is rarely represented.

It’s Campfire Saturday!

March 12, 2022March 15, 2022 Kristen 0 Comments #camp, #campfiresaturday

That last Junior High Winter Blast was such an important reminder to us. It helped us remember the joy of serving God in a camp setting. To be faithful to God’s call, even though what He asked of us was so very hard. To continue striving after Him, no matter what that looked like.

We got lost several times on our seven-hour trek to McMinnville, Oregon. I know what you are going to say, “If you would just get a phone, it would tell you where to go, Kristen.” Well, I hate phones! So much hate for the phones!!! Blah!

Worship in a Dirty Kitchen

January 22, 2022January 24, 2022 Kristen 2 Comments #covid, #dirtydishes, #godsstrength, #momfail, #worship

I was just so overwhelmed. The tree wasn’t up. No decorations. The dishes were piled up and everywhere, none of them clean. In order to cook, I had to wash the various pots and utensils I needed. I was so behind. I didn’t know it at the time, but I’d also just contracted COVID. I felt like a failure as a Christian and a woman.

It was at this point that our water turned to a sad trickle from the faucets. There was a broken pipe, somewhere under all that snow.
