Rain, Rain Go Away

Welcome to the Tropics!  A storm moved in last night and is pretty much sitting on the Bahamas for today and possibly tomorrow.  High winds, pelting rain, loss of power every so often – this will be a good test of our team’s ability to adjust and make the most of our time here (for the Camp and with each other).  There are some indoor projects that we will probably tackle this morning and then we’ll go from there.  Looks like quality time with the seniors and Camp staff in the dining hall today.  I think a Kemps tournament could be on the schedule…

Last night, Megan and Dave shared their 3rd devotional in their series this week.  It was on making a decision now to follow Christ alone, no matter the cost.  They shared a couple stories of Christians from North Korea and China who had to face the ultimate decision of abandoning Christ or dying.  Meg and Dave have both been very transparent about struggles and how they sought the world for different seasons in life, but have always come back to Jesus.  Now, more convinced than ever that the world has nothing of substance to truly offer one’s soul, they have settled on a pursuit of Jesus and encouraged the seniors to do the same.  I think Megan’s experience as an LCS graduate has been particularly meaningful for the seniors. 

Well, time to eat!  Baked oatmeal today – yum!  The coffee down here is strong and with some local evaporated milk and real sugar, it makes a fine jump start to the day.

Be faithful.
