But Monday is definitely a fun day here at camp! The kids excitedly entered the morning ready to really begin their week. Many seemed excited to find out whatever "Schleef Encounters" was. The diverstity of specialties really stood out on the opening day. Horseback riding, baking and soccer all did their things in the morning. Baking specialty made Irish Soda Bread and Mozzerella sticks which they were generous enough to share and they baked well. Sonshine campers got the full mix of activites, played some crazy olympic themed games with Jim and John and finally, for those of you still wondering, Schleef encounters consisted of Bula Ball variations, a hand cuff brain teaser, a spinning vortex of doom and stuffed animal dodgeball. Also, for archery, the campers got to shoot at teddy bears. I'm not sure what the teddy bears did to the kids but I saw more than a few campers excited to shoot the evil Teddies.
Song period had the kids rocking. Matthew even commented how enthusiastic the kids are this week. The evening game had the kids as either France or England battling in the woods and looking for frisbees. In this case the frisbees were parts of a fort. During an evening game, nothing is more versatile than a frisbee. Finally, campfire told the story of a farmer's crazy animals that tried to take over the world and ultimately failed both miserably and hillariously.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
During his password devotion, Brett told a story of a time when he randomly met two people from Milwaukee in a London train station. The idea of things happening at just the right time was paralleled as to Jesus arriving at just the right time. Ben had a similar theme in his devotion about how God works on his own time which we don't always understand but is always the best.
