For the record- all the TEXAS Panhandle folks are awesome. These students were from towns we had never heard of, but we were so pumped to be them for a week and meet them all. Matt Koen (ym for FBC Wheeler) asked us to come lead at this camp over a year ago and I know it was God ordained! The name "Pan"fork insinuates a frying pan which was about right on the heat_BUT we are in a season of no complaining and we really didn't have much to complain about. God was moving in amazing ways literally every day. Ellie wasn't with us this week so we were a little more freed up. We got to know the camp speaker pretty well this week- His name is Mike Satterfield and if he's got a podcast YOU HAVE to subscribe and hear him! His ministry is here: www.fieldofgraceministries.org We were so spiritually refreshed and challenged this week by Mike's passion for God's word. He left the pulpit of his church in Birmingham to travel full time in evangelism - so lift him and his family up! What a great ministry he has.

We hung out at the pool a lot this week. We made up a couple games, but the main one was basically you couldn't leave till you made a shot on the pool basketball goal from across the pool. Some days were quicker than others. Rec time was some more dodgeball action. What's with the dodgeball game- could there be a more violent game to play with each other? Anyway, I know everyone was gunning for me. The camp staff came to worship each night and it was awesome getting to know a bunch of them. Congrats to Brett and Brandi who are about to get married.

Here's some video from this week at CAMP:
