We woke up to a cool morning, but it quickly turned into an extremely hot day. We had advance warning about the heat so preparations were made so that we had plenty of water and Gatorade for everyone here. All have been warned to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Also since the games were played in the hottest part of the day today, we took regular water breaks during the games. As long as we stayed in the shade, the temperature was bearable. Once the sun went down, the temperature has dropped to a pleasant level.

We went through our usual routine. Breakfast, flag raising with the flag talk given by Kyle Taylor, then cabin cleaning.

During the morning devotional, Andrew Murray's cabin led the devotional time. Once we get to this point in the week, we see the worship becoming more open and free.

We are on Scene four today: God walks with man in the flesh. Russ led the study for the older campers and Donna led the study for the younger campers. They talked about how Jesus came in the flesh and showed us how to walk with God.

The golden brooms were awarded to Lauren Bean's cabin for the girls, and Chris Burgess' cabin for the boys. Also gifts were given to Rick Mclintock and Steve Gaines for their fifteenth year at camp.

In crafts they unveiled their stepping stones, and finished work on their candles and any other crafts. Today is the last day of crafts.

We played softball and volleyball games today.

We went to the pool again tonight. There were contest for the "Statue of Liberty" and biggest splash contest. Also there was a very funny contest where the campers were asked a question after they had jumped off the diving board, and had to answer the question before hit the water. There was a group of counselors giving the information for the questions that mostly involved asking the camper about their romantic interest in another camper.

Tonight for devotional time, we walked to the ball field in the dark. Once there Danny shared some words from Scripture, and each person went to the candles in the middle and lit a candle they were holding. As each person lit a candle, the light grew stronger and stronger. It was a lesson to show how the light in us helps to light up a dark world.

It was a powerful way to end the day.
