What a beautiful day we're having! Waking up to 80's songs on the bullhorn (thanks to Fraze and Mark Hadley from Ruidoso Gateway church), to Bible Class, to fun and silly songs led by Jeremy Epps, Fraze, David Gililland and Mark Hadley (Ruidoso youth minister) - we have had a super day so far. Wednesdays at Camp Pine Springs, the counselors and kitchen staff serve corn dogs and fixings in "the Meadow". After a steep hike, we arrived at our banquet - and were served by such happy faces! Following lunch there was time for games, laughter, fun and relaxing conversations then we all headed back to camp.
This afternoon's active learning event was so valuable - to all of us... it reaffirms that we have one leader and we are trying to follow that One. No one person or thing should take our focus off of that. I know the parents are anxious to talk to their children about what they are experiencing, and so are we. It would be easy to tell you more here but the stories are all different and personal. Hearing it first hand is most important.
So instead of many words today, here are many pictures. I am also trying to load a couple of short videos onto You Tube - but am having logistic problems. Nothing earth shattering to report - just an idea of how much fun we all had in that meadow today, and having fun before daily mail call and camp awards. I believe everyone looks forward to the evening worship time. There are many messengers sent to the sky during this time- in prayers, in tears and in thanksgiving for what we are allowed to witness and feel.

As we remember our theme for this summer - with a small change: "Greater things have yet to come and greater things are still to be done... in this camp."
The lyrics to this great song:
You're the God of this City You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation You are
You're the Light in this darkness You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless You are
There is no one like our God There is no one like our God
For greater things have yet to come And greater things are still to be done in this camp
Greater thing have yet to come And greater things are still to be done in this camp..
Parents: Thank you for allowing us to spend time with your children. Here they are - more precious memories and reasons we love the Lord.
