The Amazing Race

Another gorgeous day at Camp - the kids are getting tan, mosquito bitten, tired, making new friends and having a blast. They are also really in God's element - flock of over 20 pelicans on the lake all day today, two turtles supposedly laying eggs, loons singing during our campfire. Our activities and discussions centered on how God's light shines even when we doubt. Tonight we had an Amazing Race all through the camp. The kids worked in their groups to solve problems, answer Bible trivia, jump a rope, keep a volleyball up for 20 volleys, shoot some hoops, solve some charades all with the final goal of collecting all the words to a Bible verse. Tomorrow we'll be reading from Luke 10:38-42, where Mary sits at Jesus feet and Martha hustles and bustles to make a meal for Jesus. We'll talk about how God's light shines, even when we're distracted.
