Beach Camp Day 2 10:26 PM

W

Well we are wrapping up Day 2 of Beach Camp. I think everyone is having a good time. I know they are loving being in the ocean. It is a little rough. We have had a few scrapes and bumps and face plants thanks to the waves, but they just jump up and run right back in. Did I mention that I'm thankful for the lifeguards pictured above. They haven't had to pull anyone out so far, but it is reassuring to know they are here. The students enjoyed their free time this afternoon in the gulf, pools, and basketball courts. Our students had to serve lunch and clean up the dining room today. We had plenty of volunteers. It's nice to see them volunteer without having to be told. Several of our students gave their seats up during the worship service, so that ladies could have a seat. It came another rain this evening right before worship. What I wouldn't give to see this in Seminole. The Rec. Team from FBC Lubbock gave out some spirit awards tonight. Our students were on at least two of the teams that won awards.

Matt preached from Matthew 26:36-38 about loving Christ with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul. He told us that we all have many things that we love, but he reminded us that God is to be our first and true love. He told us that some of us just want to give God the time we have left over, when He should get our first and best. He told them that all of our earthly relationships will one day end, but our relationship with God will last forever, so we should work on it harder than anything else. Jase continued in the same spirit during our church time on the beach. He challenged our students to not just get a quick shot of God, but to have a long and deep relationship with Him.

It has been another good day at camp. Mason is feeling much better. He even got in the ocean this afternoon. We hope that he is on the mend, and will have no further problems while we are here. I hope you aren't having a hard time wading through all the pictures. I'm trying to get everyone. I think the kids are tired of seeing me with the camera all the time. They are starting to run when they see me coming, so I may have to slow down a little.
