Good Morning from Hattiesburg Mississippi. We have had an interesting trip so far. Had a little Air Conditioning problem on one of our busses that delayed us for a little bit in Dallas. We ended up with a new bus that held more people, so they got to spread out. Everyone is cool and got some rest. Our great drivers seem to have made up the time during the night. We were awakened this morning about 6:00 AM to a rousing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner and Hallelujah Chorus. They have been promised by retribution later this week. We stopped and invaded a McDonalds in Hattiesburg. They were very friendly and got us back on the road in record time. We are all marveling at the green grass and trees on the side of the road. We are seeing clouds in the sky as well. Maybe we can bring some of it home with us. Jase tells me that we are only 4 hours away. We'll write more when we get there. Please continue to pray for travel protection and great things to happen in camp.4:39 PM Yea!!! We arrived safely and without further problems about 2:30 PM. Matt, Alex and Madison arrived about the same time we did. It is very hot, humid and just generally sticky here, so you can imagine the first thing our students wanted to do was get in the water. Most all of them have been in the ocean. I think everyone has a place to sleep, so I guess we are good to go. We have a church meeting at 5:00 PM and Supper at 6:00. Our first worship service will begin after that. I can't wait to hear the messages that Matt has to bring this year. It just gets better and better.
10:17 PM We had an enjoyable meal of fried chicken for supper. It was followed by a little bit of recreation. Students had to get with students from other churches and wrap someone in their group from head to toe in toliet paper. It was very entertaining. I believe Sarah Thompson was the winning mummy. Students then went to the worship center for evening worship. Music was lead by the worship leader from Chorpus Christi.
Matt brought the message from Exodus Chapter 20. He preached on having no other gods before the Lord God. He asked the students if God was absolutely first in their lives and he warned them not to let dating turn them away from God He encouraged them to always have a passionate love for God. That was followed by Church Time on the beach. There is a storm growing out over the gulf. It is absolutely beautiful to hear the waves crashing on the beach while watching the lightning flash in the distance. It will be wonderful if we get to hear the sound of rain tonight.
Most of the pictures tonight are from the bus trip.
