For those who are missing their babies, fear not, we are half way home! It is hard to believe that it is already Wednesday. However, my legs are saying, "is it only Wednesday?" I think the camp brought in some step stretchers since last year. It seems as though they add a few extras steps every year. We have had another great day as far as the weather goes. It has been partly cloudy, which is wonderful and no rain. The temperature has been very nice.
For those who are not following the teen Twitter account, I highly suggest requesting to follow. I think most are enjoying it more than these updates. (I don't know for sure, but let me know when I get back !!!) The teen Twitter account is @totalmrbc.
Hopefully you got to see the beautiful spot that we pray for the teens when I Tweeted it this morning. It is a very serene, calm place over looking the lake, to pray for the needs of our kids, the camp as a whole and the prayer cards that are registered.
Wednesday's Chapel service continued on in the study of II Timothy. Bro. Andy spoke on, "Be Strong in the Gospel".
The three realities of being strong in the gospel are:
1) Being strong in the Gospel is a mandate
2) Being Strong in the Gospel has a motivation
3) Being strong in the Gospel has a mission.
We got to attend the CLS (Christian Life Seminar) today. I love these sessions for the teens. They are very practical and current. Today's topic was Dating. I wrote so many notes that I would never be able to include them all and keep this somewhat short. Willie compared the way the "world" models dating compared to the way God models dating. He gave clear Biblical reasons for dating..
We enjoyed a cookout on the field for lunch and then the teens had a big time playing the group game "Scramble Scrabble". I have lots of pics of that for later.
The teen leaders agreed that today's messages were the best of the week so far. Tonight's evening service was taken from Matthew 7:13-14. The preacher stated that there were only two roads in life. There is the road to death and the road to life. Tonight he focused on the road to death.
- The road to death has an entrance...it is the wide gate.
- The road to death has an end... it is destruction.
- The road to death has an exit...it is Jesus Christ the narrow gate.
If you are on the wrong road, you must believe there is something better on the other road. Then you must repent to get on the narrow road. He presented the gospel very well tonight. I hope all of our teens realize what road they are currently on and if it is not the narrow road, then they need to get on it by getting saved.
Tonight's "Fun Time" was the best one that I have ever seen. They did a great job and all the teens as well as the adult loved it. After Fun Time there was a lumberjack competition with a pizza party. I am too old for pizza that late at night....Scotty & Amanda are still young, they indulged.
