Heat Wave!

Today the Australian outback heated up!  Swimming to cool off was a much desired past time and a favorite activity.  Besides swimming, archery and disc golf were also fun!  In outdoor sports, water games like drip, drip, drench, and others that utilized squirt guns were also a hit.  Sign language specialty practiced signing sentences, while the horseback girls had another terrific time at the stables.  Sports specialty played some intense games of soccer and basketball, and the MAD campers practiced writing some songs for their developing musical.  Schleef encounters let us relax a little, as we played a card game called Werewolves in the shade of the tree deck.

Our campfire tonight was set in the middle of a chicken store.  Let's just say their was one loud, obnoxious chicken, a funny cashier, some crazy kids, and an overbearing manager!

The campfire ended with an awesome devotion given by Nate Moldenhauer.  In his devotion, we were reminded to not focus on worldly things because ultimately they pass away.  Instead, we need to set our hearts on heavenly things because they are what matter for our eternal salvation.  Our verse for tonight came from 1 John 2: 15--

Do not love the world or anything in the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
