The middle of the week has arrived. Wednesday is the day we get some extra sleep. However, even with the extra sleep, there were sure some tired looking campers this morning. The days are cooler than at the first of the week, so the being outside has been much more pleasant.

The bible lessons centered around the protection that we have from God that comes from the covenant relationship that we have with the Father. They specifically talked about the armor of God as is found in the book of Ephesians.

The activities for the day were younger camper sweetheart kickball. One of the things that is amazing to see is the fear that the younger campers have about sweetheart kickball. To illustrate this, one young man came to the field quite ill and was given permission to not play. The sweetheart game is preceded by the group of boys and the group of boys playing kickball. Once the boys got to playing the game, our young man made a "miraculous" recovery. However, once they get over the stress of picking or being picked, and the game starts, the fun of this game overcomes the initial fear that they had before the game. As with yesterday, due to the unique scoring system of sweetheart kickball, the game ended in a tie.
The older campers hiked to the bottom of the falls today.

The crafts for today were to put the finishing touches on the checkerboards that they have been working on. The rinsed out and hung up their tye dye socks. They also worked and made "Sun Catchers" today.

There were no athletic games tonight. Instead we went to the pool here in the park and enjoyed fiesta time together.

We had entertainment tonight from the following people: Larry Beard, Danny Gregg, Lisa Gregg, Chandler Seal, Frank Batson, Steve Gaines, Billy Seal, and the athletic staff. They sang quite a number of songs.

The night ended with the younger campers having devotionals in their cabins and the older campers having a devotional in the B lodge.
