What a Wednesday!

Hello all from Camp Phillip. This past Wednesday featured a frustratingly funny password, an awesome hour beach party, Outbackers making bows and the biggest game of Paul Ball you can imagine.  The password for the morning was, "today" which led to lots of conversations that went along the lines of, "What was the password?"

"Today." (aww)

"Yes, I am talking about today's (aww) password. What was it?"

Abbot and Costello would have been proud. Furthermore awesome hour had a beach party where they had a relay in the water while they worked together to put on and take off sopping wet clothes over their suits. Outbackers made bows and arrows out of branches from the woods that worked surprisingly well. (I admit, I was a bit skeptical.) Finally for the evening game, the campers played Triad Paul Ball in the field. Triad Paul Ball is a basketball with Large exercise balls and three giant inflatable hoops. Just like how Paul Bunyan played it back in the day.

Hebrews 3:13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

For the morning password, Allie used the example of a belayer on the high ropes course keeping the climber safe to teach us how God is with us and keeps us safe as we face trials. Then, for devotion, Joe explained to the camp that the T in "Today" is capitalized because it refers to our time of grace on this earth and that this is the time God has given us to have faith in him.
