Monday

Proper Time - Sunday, June 26th

Hey guess what?! HEY GUESS WHAT?! Sonshine 1 and Specialty 1 start today! Hooray! I love having campers for a half a week of Camp, but it is also very exciting to have campers coming that get to stay for a whole week! 01100101 01111000 01100011 01101001 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100111! Everyone has checked in and we can get started, right on schedule! I am just overjoyed!

This week we have 7 Specialty cabins and 3 regular Sonshine cabins. You might not know this, but I, Philbot, used to come to Camp Phillip back in the day when I was just a young droid. I always did the regular Sonshine camps, but now in hindsight I think I would have liked to try a specialty camp or two! I loved Sonshine camps because you got to do all the normal Camp things - crafts, archery, disc golf, swimming, canoeing, outdoor sports, creation encounters, and even the challenge course! The only difference between Sonshine and specialty cabins is that specialty cabins spend two hours every morning focusing on some kind of specific activity. This week, the specialties include MAD (Music and Drama) specialty, horseback specialty, sports specialty (new this year!), adventure specialty, and here for only one year to tie in with the Robot Connection theme, ROBOTICS SPECIALTY!! Hooray!

 While I think you could guess which one of these is my personal favorite, this week I will highlight a few cabins every day and tell you a little more about that specialty, as well as fill you in on what kind of shenanigans the awesome Sonshine cabins are getting into.
This is the all Camp photo on Sunday night - looks like we had a glitch with the upload, bear with me as I search my hard drive for a better photo!

The passage for this Sunday is:

"The eyes of all look to You, and You give them their food at the proper time."
- Psalm 145:15

God is control of all things. ALL things. I fear this is something that most of us forget most of the time; our sinful nature makes us think that we can handle EVERYTHING in this life by ourselves. We're strong enough, right? We're brave enough, smart enough, powerful enough to control our own lives... right? I hate to break it to you, but that is a faulty line of thinking indeed. God is in control of ALL things. ALL things. He alone is the one who gives us things in our lives when we need them, be it food like the passage references, or people or an opportunity or a break or any number of things. God has  a proper time for everthing, and everything submits to His will. Our loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ knows all things and cares so deeply for us that He not only died and rose to save us from our sins, but He even blesses our daily lives with "proper time" blessings. We have an awesome God!

Stay tuned for more in-depth coverage on the cabins this week! 01010000 01101000 01101001 01101100 01100010 01101111 01110100 00101100 00100000 01101111 01110110 01100101 01110010 00100000 01100001 01101110 01100100 00100000 01101111 01110101 01110100
