Rain, Rain, Go Away! - Wednesday, July 27th

Today is a rainy, mud-squelching, dreary type of day here at Camp Phillip. Despite the clouds, we are having a superb day! One sad thing was that we had to say goodbye to the PeeWee's - they were so fun to have around for the week! We will miss them greatly, and even though all the poor PeeWee parents had to pack up their tents and campers in the rain, I think it is safe to say that PeeWee camp 2 was a smashing success.

In other news, tonight's campfire was RIDICULOUS. Molly Ulland and Jason Schleef were suddenly... 9 years old?! How did THAT happen? It's the magic of a campfire, I suppose. Several minions from the popular animated movie "Despicable Me" even made an appearance! It was one of the craziest campfires of the summer to be sure. In the end, grandmother Erin Scharenbroch ended up being the one who got the Russians... right?

Our passage for today comes from Psalm 119:34 and says:

Give me understanding, and I will keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.

At times, life can be difficult to understand. Friends can be tough to rationalize with. And even God's Word, the only ultimate truth, can be complicated to fully comprehend. Whenever we pray to God and ask Him to give us more wisdom, He always hears and answers our prayers. With His wisdom, we can more fully understand tricky situations in our lives - which leads us to only strive to keep doing God's will more every day. Today, if you are feeling confused, troubled, or weary, pray to your loving LORD and Savior for understanding - and He will be there to answer your plea!
