It's Tuesday morning

. . . and I am getting a few minutes of quiet before a very busy day will begin. Yesterday, was a good day here at camp. The theme for the day was REcreate (part of the larger REmix theme). We were all challenged to look at the stories in scripture with fresh new eyes and see that God wants to recreate us His image. The verse for the day was 2 Corinthians 5:17 (look it up!).
Monday morning began with an opening celebration full of games, singing and lots of movement - a brilliant idea to wake everyone up. Then it was off to Bible study groups (even the adults - although coffee was provied for us). After Bible study there was lunch and everyone headed off to their choices for the day. Once choices were over, there was a bit of free time before dinner. Worship challenged us to look at the story of Nicodemus from a new and fresh way - really seiing how Jesus was asking him to let go of the "boxes" that we all place God in! (it's easier to control Him that way, isn't it?)
The final time of the day was the REcParty. Guess what? There were pretty severe thunderstorms so we took it indoors! Everyone had a blast.
Dr. Sherouse came down yesterday and spent the night with us and will be with us again today. It's wonderful to see our pastor investing in the lives of our students.
So, tonight is the 80's Prom Party - can't wait to tell you about that!
Blessings - Michael
