Good morning from Camp Phillip. Yesterday, the campers had quite the adventure. Thursday skipped the traditional password and Bible Study routine so we could have our weekly Morning Praise. During Morning Praise we meet together at the bowl and start our day songs with songs of praise and worship. Afterward, the campers went back to their typical routine which, of course, led to atypical games and fun. Swim period had a pasta theme as the campers used noodles in all sorts of ways (the floaty, colorful noodlys, not spaghetti). Archery specialty tested their Robin Hood skills with balloons and during Outdoor sports, the campers played fruit baseball. It was sticky. The climax of the day was definitely the Campwide favorite evening game, Cellblock 7. Staff play the part of escaped criminals hiding in the woods and campers have to round them back up and put them back in jail. Finally, for campfire, the campers went to a Kung Fu Pop presentation by Sy and Alex.
Job 42:5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
For devotion tonight, Justin used this passage to talk about repentance. He told a story about an evil prisoner who looked exactly like one of the guards. The guard lived a good and noble life. During a prison riot, other prisoners killed the guard which gave the look-alike prisoner the chance to put on the guard's clothes and walk away free. However, the prisoner couldn't go back to his old way of life. He had to live his life like the guard had done to avoid suspicion. Just like that prisoner, we too, have been given the chance at a new life in Christ. Let's live in him every day.
