Sunday Night

We had a nice routine bus ride up to Hume Lake. All three buses arrived safely at two-thirty in the afternoon. This year's theme is "The Phantastical Journey of the Wandering Lites" and is based on Exodus 6. The opener was in the chapel with an Arabian Night's Theme of Moses challenging Pharoah to let God's people go. The opener had plenty of singing of "older school songs-Pharoah, Pharoah," "newer school songs-Bye, Bye, Bye" and plenty of dancing. During evening chapel, Rich Baker, Ponderosa's co-camp-director, taught us that the Bible tells us that God is sufficient. That might be easy to believe, but it's a constant challenge to put that belief into action. Even when God's blessings have been marvelously displayed, we still tend to reject or forget it. This struggle is illuminated by the story of the Israelites as they literally followed the visible presence of God out of Egypt, yet still rejected, replaced, and simply forgot God's provision and guidance. All of our students who wanted to, got signed up for Paintball and High Adventure. PD et al.
