And We're Off...

Today was a gorgeous, sun-shiney day on the Australian outback here at Camp Phillip!  After Bible study, Cabin 6F was on the way to the stables, while the rock climbers challenged themselves on the low ropes course.  The rest of the cabins had fun playing a real life version of Werewolves, shooting arrows on the archery range, swimming in the Mill Pond, and playing basketball.

The afternoon was full of more adventures.  Cabins 6B and 5 had lots of fun climbing Jacobs Ladder on the high ropes course, while the other cabins played loop-a-roo in outdoor sports, disc golfed with Jason Schleef, and swam at the lakefront.  Sports specialty also kicked off a good game of football.

Our evening ended with an all-camp game called Sabotage and later a romantic-inspired campfire in which we danced around quite a bit!  Our devotion for the night came from 1 John 1:9--

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

From this passage, we learned that God never changes, so we never have to feel self-conscious coming to Him and admitting our sins.  Because He is just and faithful, our sins will always be forgiven.
