Camp Bighorn Day 41 7/30/2010

My Camp Bighorn adventure continues. I woke up at 7:15 am. We all gathered in the lodge for group devotions at 7:30 am. We went through the reading for the day in our devotional books until 7:45 am. We met in our family groups until 8:15 am. In our family groups we caught up with each other and talked and prayed about how our week had gone and what we were struggling with. When we finished meeting in our groups we all gathered in the lodge for announcements. After devotions and announcements I talked with Beth for a little while. I had a bad morning because my back was hurting really bad and it was frustrating me. It was nice to talk with Beth for a little while. I felt really bad for complaining to her about my back trouble. When we finished talking I headed to my cabin to get cleaned up and ready for the day. I decided I wanted to be extra comfortable today because my back was really bothering me, so I wore my sweats all day. After I got cleaned up I got the mail out and headed to the lodge to get some 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 headed back to the office. The mail came just as I was getting to the office. I got the mail sorted and distributed. After I finished with the mail I came back to the office to put some more pictures on the camp hard drive. When I finished with the pictures I gave the hard drive to Mindy and Garret. They put together a slideshow of the pictures from the week to show at the last chapel later that night. I sat in the main part of the office for a while covering the phones and talking with people in the office. I was around the office until lunchtime. We all gathered in the lodge for some great food and fellowship. After lunch I came back to the office. I used my computer to check a few things on the internet. I checked e-mail and facebook. I helped Nancy find some music she need for a slideshow she is putting together. We found the music she was looking for but I had no way to get the music from my ipod to a different computer. I moved my computer back out to the main part of the office. I decided I wanted to work out there for a while. I listened to music on my computer for a while. I covered the phones. I typed up my blog entry for the day before. When I finished typing and posting my blog it was almost time for dinner. I headed out of the office and talked with Andrea for while. We had a really great talk. She helped me to think about why I am here at camp and what my purpose is while I am here. I always feel a lot better after talking with Andrea. We headed over to the lodge to get some food. We had barbeque chicken sandwiches. They were great. We all enjoyed great food and fellowship around the tables. It was fun to hear about what people had been up to all day. After dinner we had ice cream for dessert. I had a combination of chocolate chip mint and cookies and cream. I enjoyed every bit of it. I finished my ice cream and got a soda and headed upstairs to the last night of chapel. Chapel was really fun. They talked about and showed how the group had united during the week. It was cool to see and hear how God was working in the lives of the entire group. We all watched the slideshow that Mindy and Garret put together. The group really enjoyed that. When we finished upstairs we all headed downstairs in the lodge to watch some of the girls do some Irish and Scottish Highland dancing. They are danced very well. It was fun to watch them. At about 9:40 pm everyone gathered outside the lodge to play capture the flag. I came back to the office to listen to my ipod and type up my blog for the day. Jen came in and commented on the fact that I was listening to Celtic music on my ipod. I told her I was listening to my Chieftains collection. She thought that was cool. Jocelyn came in a little while later and we talked for a few minutes. I am just about ready to rap up my blog entry and head to bed. I will check out what is going on around camp. Then I will head to my cabin to get some rest. I wonder what adventures are in store for us in the next few days. More on that later…
