Friday

Worm - Thursday, July 14th

CHECK IT OUT!

John German and his awesome catch!
Can you believe the size of that FISH?! I don't think I ever want to go swimming in the Upper Whiteriver Millpond if there are small SHARKS swimming in there! Well, that's not true... I love our dear little lake, and that's not a baby shark, it's just a Northern. But still! It is pretty darn impressive that the guys in fishing specialty caught such a HUGE fish!

Every morning this week, cabin 12 - led by counselor Kevin Worm (appropriate last name, no?) and junior counselor Brady Troeller - has gotten up at the crack of dawn to go fishing for two hours before breakfast! To make up for their missed sleep, this cabin gets to sleep from 10-12 every morning. They have learned different fishing techniques, what bait works best, and just got to spend time on the lake putting their skills into practice. Most of the fish in the Upper Whiteriver Millpond are pretty small - bluegills and such - but whatever larger fish that were caught during the week are going to be eaten on Friday when the fishing guys have a fish fillet party! I personally can't eat fish, being a robot and all - but the guys caught a ton of fish, so they should have a pretty big feast tomorrow!

Thursday's passage is:

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
John 3:8

Can you feel the wind? Yes, of course. But... what really is wind? Can you describe it? Can you fully understand it? Not at all! This is what the passage in John is attempting to express - the Holy Spirit is perhaps the most mysterious member of the Trinity, and while we cannot describe Him in the slightest, we know He is there because we can feel Him. We can see His work. We can see the fruits of faith that come from His residence in human hearts. And He says in the blessing of God's Word that He is who He is - "I AM who I AM" (Exodus 3:14) - and that "I AM" is an all-powerful, loving God that we can trust.

Do these campers REEALLY have to leave tomorrow? All 103 of them are such fun!
