Week 6 2011

Thank you Lord for another great week of sowing the seeds of your Gospel. It is a wonderful thing to see your good news as it lights the darkness and brings cleansing to the sinner, freedom to the slave and blessing to the cursed of humanity.

Week 5 2011

I need to apologize for the lack of blog during the first girls week of camp. It truly was an amazing week with many first time campers attending. Our Lord and God revealed himself in ways that stirred the hearts of young girls. Each year I wonder and sometimes worry about how the young girls will handle the week with the heat, bugs and schedule of camp. This year in particular I wondered how the girls would do in the mud pit. Would they get in? Would they just not touch it at all? It appeared that way at first and who could blame them. However, as you can see eventually they were covered from head to toe.

Week 4 Tuesday

A great thanks goes out to the Clarendon County Fire Department for bringing a fire truck each week of camp to hose off the kids with 1000 gallons of water. By the way, water is a mighty powerful thing when propelled by high pressure. A welcome activity to a day when the temp is above 100.

Week 4 2011

Week 4! Last week of boys for the year and we have a full week ahead. Last night we took a walk in the rain to the big oak and after getting a little wet we discussed the significance of the rain. How God is the provider of the much needed refreshment for the plants, the beast of the field, the birds of the air and of course for us as well. As the drops of water still fell from the leaves of the trees overhead we spoke of God's word and how it is like "cool water" for the soul. In the days and weeks prior we have had little to no rain and are very grateful when the Lord makes it His will to bless us with even a token amount. I have at least 4 copies of God's word available to me at any time to drink from His cup of wisdom. I have tasted and seen that it is good. So Good!

Genesis 3:8 "...and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord among the trees of the garden." The picture above is from earlier today at the paintball and Treyvon and Noah are hunkered down hiding behind the barrel to avoid the shots from the opposing team. Good reason to hide! For Adam and Eve, they chose to hide among the very trees that God had originally said was theirs for provision. Maybe we do a good job of hiding from God as well and just like Adam we might use His own provision to stand behind. Something to think about.
