The campers have drifted off to sleep by now and Oak Glen Christian Conference Center is quiet except for the sound of crickets and our teenage "grunts" (they are our workers who help around camp as needed) playing board games in the Design Team headquarters. Soon I will go up to bed too, exhausted from a very full day but not before uploading pics and blogging. It was an extremely fun day, but also one in which Christ was proclaimed and lives were changed - two campers shared earlier this evening how they had asked Jesus to be their Savior this very day. We had another evening with Arol speaking from Proverbs about making wise choices, particularly in whom we choose as friends. Without going into all the fingers of his hand illustration, Arol challenged the campers to choose as our closests friends, those are fellow followers of Christ -friends who can pray for you and help you grow as a Christian. It's not that we should avoid people who don't follow Jesus -He hung out with people that others called "bad", but we need to not listen to those who would encourage us to make foolish choices that would lead us away from God.
Now I must choose to go to bed, it's late and tomorrow is another busy day. More then.

Thank you soooo much to whomever is taking the pictures! I get so excited looking at my boys at camp.
God bless!
Ann, I'm very glad that there are two new members in the Family of God! That means that God is REALLY working through all of you who are volunteering your time, sleep, and effort to help the kids learn more about Him!!
Thank you to Arol who came from so far away to speak. Is that Joy McFadden in some of those pics? The one with dark hair, beautiful eyes and braces??!!!!
