Camp Wilds Thursday Recap

Well, as I type this, I just walked the hill up from the bottom where we enjoyed a night game of Tic Tac Challenge. I noticed that some of you joined and watched some of the action live on the Periscope App. Isn't that cool !!! I love it when we can use technology for the good in which God intended it. Scotty and I would definitely like to have your feedback on that live feed. It took a little fanagaling (its a word!) to figure it out and get it going. So, tell us what you think. After the night game teens sprinted across the field to either get in line for Pizza, Donuts & drinks or to get in line for the Giant Swing, Small Zip Line, Putt Putt. Lauren and Caitlyn got in line in time to ride the Giant Swing. This was Lauren's first time and it was at night!. Sarah & Emily sprinted for a night ride of the Land Trolley (Zip Line). Others just "hung out" and ate.

We were able to enjoy family reunion time with the Juniors at JBC today and then also got to do the same thing with our teens.  Again, if you did not join in live on Periscope at that time, you can still download the free app, follow TOTALMRBC and watch them. The videos stay on there for some amount of time....we are not sure. Family Reunion is always a special time to pull all of them together and see what the Lord is doing for each of them.

I hit the wall today....very tired and hurting. I could tell the teens were tired also. Most of them were down there with me a few minutes ago hanging out and we were all comparing our ills. We sounded like a nursing home day room. I was complaining about my back and feet hurting, Courtney side and neck, Travis all over, Kenzie was just peeling paint off her face, all the others had something that was aching....anyway...All of us were ready to head to our cabins for some rest.

Again, I am not going to detail each service but I will give you a little in case you want to have your teens tell you about it.

Chapel was on "Relationships Matter"  Matthew 5:21-26

Evening Service: To Live a life for Christ, you must....

We were not able to make it my favorite lessons, the Christian Life Seminar today because we had a sponsor session. Ask your teen what Thursday was about. They are always good practical, biblical lessons.

I am going to mention a little about our Sponsor Session with Will Galkin. After I came out of that session I asked Scotty if I had a bull's eye on my back. I don't think the other 50 sponsors who were there needed to come because Will was preaching to me. It is very beneficial for us as sponsors coming to the Wilds. We get fed spiritually just like the teens. Many times we can exclaim "amen" many more times we have to say "oh me!".  Today I was saying, "oh me" a bunch. 

God's Word Liberates

God's Word Illuminates

God's Word Stabilizes

But he spoke on God's Word Revives

Quicken (or Revive) Me Lord.....

 - Because I have forgotten your Word

 - Because I have forgotten that it is to be obeyed

 - Because I am so distracted

 - Because I am so frustrated

 - Because I am so hurt

 - Because I want to enjoy God today

WHAT DO I SET MY AFFECTIONS ON???  YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU WANT MOST.

That quote above is an "oh me" for each of us I am sure.

I  can't believe tomorrow is the last day. This week has truly flown by. I am looking forward to what tomorrow holds.

Oh yeah....I had a first for me. I played a game of paintball with Matthew. Great time!. Those paint balls do hurt. I went to take my shower a little later in the afternoon and found a red skid mark across my thigh where one of those paintballs got me. I'm sure it is a bruise by now.

Also a thanks for Amanda's mom, dad, sis & nephew along with Salem came up for a visit today. It was good to see them.

We continue to pray everyday for our teens. We hope you are doing the same!
