Thursday Afternoon

Hello Family of Faith,

Thursday afternoon is just ending. It has been a great day and a great week. We started this morning with an extra hour of sleep, woo hoo! I woke up early and so had some quiet time for myself. We have all been memorizing God’s word this week. Not only are we hiding these precious words in our hearts to benefit our spirits as we face challenges in our lives, we also get team points!!! One of the shorter passages is Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. (and women, too) It teaches us to say “no” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. In the evening we have small group discussions to see how these words apply to our present lives. These talks have been great with everyone sharing their thoughts. God is alive and well and speaking to us here through his beautiful creation, music, worship, drama, and the Bible.
So, did we spend the whole day in quiet meditation, praying, memorizing scripture and sipping lattes? NO,NO,NO!!! we had a little activity called dye wars!! The camp is divided into two teams as you may already know. Everyone showed up on the field wearing a white T-shirts. Each team had three 55 gallon drums of colored water, either green or red. Campers were given little cups and counselors got huge glasses that we used to fill with colored dye and throw at each other. It was rather wet, wild, and very noisy. There is a time and place for every purpose under the sun.

Love to all,
Pam
