Today a girl kissed a lizard.
Note: it was not at my instigation. In fact I didn't even hear about it
until dinnertime.
Apart from that the day has been uneventful. Just your usual - building
a fence, digging holes, talking to kids, doing a special in the service,
running crowd control at the climbing wall, sitting by the lake trying to
convince a 10 yr old of the sanity of jumping of the dock, swinging on the
rope swing or traveling down a water slide (I'm not sure if I succeeded).
Oh, and don't let me forget the driving around looking for railway ties
and the testing out of the kids games and the destruction of a picnic
table and the eating of meals and the running of the
Tumbleweed, and the fellowship with counselors (I think that I got about
half the day).
Seriously, the last two and a half weeks have been awesome. God has
stretched me in ways that I didn't plan on getting stretched in (like
helping to build cabins and fences and lifeguarding) and enabled me to
help in ways that are more ordinary (working with the music). At the
midpoint of the first week God has already blessed me with challenges and
encouraged me with success when I allow Him too.

Josh, Wisconsin misses you. Come back and build our fences and our cabins. We have water to life guard and children to mentor. Don't limit God to summer camp in California. We have feelings too. Have you forgotten about us?
It sounds like you're having an awesome time. God really seems to be using you at camp. Keep on serving Him. Whit just went to camp in S.C. and won't be back to Illinois (sigh). But God has been pulling everything together. We even got a house! Hooray!!!
Hey Josh. I'm glad that you are having such a wonderful time and are so excited about your ministry at camp. I've been praying for you. Remember that when the going gets tough, God can keep you going. :-)
Btw, our truck leaves next Thursday (13th). My dad is going down with it because we have to play at a wedding in MI. We will head down the following week. I was personally having some issues with leaving SBC, but God gave me this great verse -- John 12:26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. -- It was a great reminder to me that where my Master is, I need to be, too, and for my family that's GA.
OK. Long enough comment. :-)
So, Josh, you ought to check out Current Students Yes, your big sister loves stealing your ideas. . .
:-) Have a great day and send me your posts tooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Josh. I tried emailing you, but my email didn't go through. Hope to hear from you sometime now that you're home.
