Robotz and Sportz - Monday, June 27th

What'z up? I am sorry, my "z" key keepz sticking at the end of my wordz - I should get Nate or Phil, the maintenance men, to come and look at my communicationz functionz and fix this issue ASAP! I tripped on Monday during our intense woodz game and I think I got some sand in stuck in my keyz. It'z a bit distressing; sorry for the hampered communication, folkz!

Like I promised yesterday, I am going to use this week to feature certain cabinz and tell you about their specialty or sonshine activitiez, and today I am first going to focus on SPORTZ SPECIALTY! Counselor Joe Garbe and Jr. Counselor Greg Strommen head up a cabin of 8 boyz in Cabin 8B who are ready to conquer the world of Camp sportz! Each day in the morning they are going to spend 2 hourz on a different athletic event or activity, and on Monday they started off with basketball; everyone in the cabin learned how to dunk on the Bankshot basketball court! Other sportz they'll cover this week are soccer, football, and CAMP SPORTZ like Paul Ball. The cabin also seemz to really enjoy the Packers, as do I. GO PACK, GO!

I was going to save talking about ROBOTIC'Z SPECIALTY until the end of the week, but I just cannot contain my excitement anymore!!! After all... they're working on ROBOTZ! Pastor Tom Klusmeyer leadz Counselor Kevin Worm and Jr. Counselor Eli Glatzel'z cabin (8F) along with a girl camper from cabin 2 in the construction of robotz from kitz that are coming in the mail - hopefully sooner rather than later! They're learning about circuitry and wiring and many other FASCINATING topicz. This specialty is especially lucky to have Eli'z expertise; he is part of the roboticz club at Wisconsin Lutheran High School! Perhaps I will publish a photo of their completed projectz at the end of the week. I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE THE CYBORG THEY WILL CREATE!!

Robotics Specialty Hard At Work!

Monday's passage is:

"Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness" - James 3:18

This passage was very fully explored yesterday with an enlightening password from Erin Scharenbroch, a new song composed specifically about this passage for the day by Carolyn Mayes, and an interesting password by Aaron Wakeman to close off the night. "Sowing" is not a concept that most of us think about regularly, seeing as we are not farmerz, but "sowing in peace" is like scattering seed of peace. We do this when we help a friend, walk away from a fight instead of aggravating it, or show love to people who need it. We ought to trust that if by the Holy Spirit we sow a seed in someone'z mind to interest them in God's Word, God will grow faith in their heartz just as a plant growz from a scattered seed. This week, pray that our dear Savior helpz you sow seedz of peace in your life to point otherz to the saving message of the cross!

(I'll get these stinkin' keyz fixed tonight - and tomorrow, look for a blog post about the ROCK CLIMBING CABINZ!)
