Second Day

Well today was the second day of camp, and boy what a full one.

The day started out with breakfast and a sponsor meeting where we heard one man's burden for public school teens. WOW what a vision he has. I don't think that I could ever do what he has done with the teens in his area. In today's world where churches are becoming lax, cutting outreach programs, or the leadership in the church has a vision but the people complain that the leadership expects too much of the church people, it is nice to see someone that understands the Bible when It says "Where there is no vision the people perish".

But after that it was time for the teens to be preached to. They learned about Running the Race, and persevering, until the end. They then when outside to get their picture took, and chalenge an opposing cabin to some sort of game. Some played "Tug O' War", "Foseball" "Soccer" or they made their own game up. After the games it was back to chapel for another session, this time about where they are in their Christian Life.

Lunch came next, and what a lunch. We had Spiced Chicken, tangy rice, yeast rolls, and snickerdootles. I don't know what the teens had though, because I whent to the sponsor lunch. :)

Free time took the remainder of the afternoon, and filled it with Wasail, and Fraps from the "Daily Grind", Frisbee golf, talking with the teens and having fun. Until supper. I scarfed down some ham, and mac n' cheese, then ran to the GYM to watch Joy and Summer play V-Ball. On the way back however the biggest storm of the summer hit.
We were forced to cancel the field game, run inside, and then move to the basement of the fine arts hall. Once there we (including me) entertained the teens for an hour or so with some improv comedy. I am a bit rusty.

With our schedual being moved an hour later than we wanted we quickly made our way to the GYM for the evening service. The message was about which direction we are going. To God? Or Away From God? Many teens responded to the Spirit, but not enough that the sponsors were called to help them, but we did pray.

After the service the teens had some Taco Bell tacos, and Pepsi, and listened to some fun songs from the staff, and finaly we were off to bed.
