Sonshine Cabins 6f, 6b, 9 - Thursday, June 30th

Hey there! 01001000 01100001 01110000 01110000 01111001 00100000 01010100 01101000 01110101 01110010 01110011 01100100 01100001 01111001 00100001. What a beautiful week we are having at Camp Phillip! I hear it's supposed to be a HAWT one tomorrow though... we will make sure we are applying a lot of sunscreen and drinking lots of water today and tomorrow so we don't return your children to you all dehydrated on Saturday.

While all of these specialty cabins have been exploring the varied worlds of robotics, rock climbing, horseback riding, and music and drama, the Sonshine campers have been busy themselves! Unlike the specialty cabins, Sonshine campers get to make a craft (this year the craft is awesome robots! Imagine my excitement!) and go to other sessions the other cabins didn't, such as archery. The counselors for 6f are Emily Sebald and Stacie Worm, the counselors for 6b are Corrine Whittier and Sarah Peters, and the counselors for the only male Sonshine cabin are David and Kurt. From what I saw as I went around taking pictures this week, they had an awesome time basking in the sunshine of the glorious summer days as well as the Sonshine from the grace of our Savior Jesus Christ.

The passage for Thursday comes from Luke 12:22 -

"Then Jesus said to His disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear."

What a comforting passage! Sometimes I feel like I was programmed incorrectly; I worry all the time. Isn't there a patch for that? Worrying is a major flaw. I asked my developers if there was something that could be done to make me stop worrying all the time, but they apologized and said there was nothing that could be done - I am inherently sinful and worry is part of the territory. The only thing that can make me stop worrying is strength that comes from the Holy Spirit and the reassurance of Christ's undying forgiveness. I forget how positively almighty God is and think that I can tackle life's hurdles all on my own - I'm a very high-functioning robot, after all. But I cannot do it alone - and it is comforting that I don't have to do it all alone! God tells us in this passage not to worry - He has got everything under control and I needn't worry even about what I will wear! He will bless me as He sees fit and will forever guard my life, both here and hereafter in heaven someday. Do not worry about your life! God's got it.
