Camp Bighorn Day 33 7/22/2010

My day began with active devotions at 7:30 am. We all gathered in the lodge to go through the reading in our devotional books for the day. Then we headed outside to hike or run up to the cross. The hike up to the cross was very contemplative for me. I tried to pray but I was unable because I was too focused on not falling. It was really cool because I felt the presence of God. It was like He was right behind me saying “I am right here. I will not leave you alone. You can do this.” That was a very powerful time. When we all got back down to camp I thanked God for keeping us all safe on the hike up to the cross. After announcements I went back to my cabin to get ready for the day. When I was ready for the day I got the mail out and then headed to the lodge for breakfast. We all enjoyed some great food and fellowship around the tables. It was fun to hear about what people had planned for the day. After breakfast I met up with the facilities crew. We started the day with prayer. We prayed for the camp and the campers who would be participating in events around camp. We prayed for strength and courage for the staff leading the events. When we finished praying I sorted and distributed the mail. When I finished with the mail I caught up with the facilities crew. I was supposed to work with them for the morning. I had some job search stuff I needed to get done. So I worked on that for most of the morning. I updated my resume. I sent a copy of it to my sister in law Ami. I asked her to look it over and let me know if I should change anything. I checked e-mail and facebook. I responded to some e-mails. I listened to music on my ipod. I was in the office for most of the morning. Then it was time for lunch. We all gathered in the lodge to get some great food. It was nice to catch up with some people and hear about what they had been up to all morning. After lunch I came back into the office. I answered the phone. I checked some things on the internet. I listened to music on my ipod. I checked e-mail and facebook. I typed up and posted a blog entry for the day before. I talked with some people in the office. Then we all gathered in the lodge for dinner. We all enjoyed some great food and conversation around the table. After dinner I had a soda and some dessert. We had ice cream for dessert. It was great. I had a bowl of cookies and cream and chocolate chip mint. Those are my two favorite flavors of ice cream. It was a nice treat. When I finished my ice cream I sat out on the lodge steps and talked with Janelle for a while. We had a good talk. She is a very nice person. After we talked for a while I came back to the office to check my e-mail. Then I shut down my computer and left the office for the night. I headed over to the lodge and hung out in the staff lounge for a while. Beth and I talked for a while. We had good talk. It is always good to talk with her. I stayed in the lounge until about 10:30 pm. Then I headed to my cabin to get some sleep. I was really tired, so it was nice to get to bed early and get some extra rest. I went to sleep thinking about what was in store for us the next day. More on that later…
