After years of hearing about Camp David from Ana and Jayden... I finally made the trip and experienced it for myself! And it was AWESOME!!! I've already invited myself back for next year!! LOL!! We had gorgeous, sunny weather the entire weekend, which is not the norm apparently. We had great food, although, NONE of it was on my diet... including the rhubarb desserts that I downed daily after lunch AND dinner!! After breakfast, we broke into groups (the same groups we had kitchen duty with) and did devotionals, and then had free time until lunch. After lunch were various activities... ultimate frisbee, canoe races, etc.... or just free time to do whatever. Since it was nice out, we spent most of our time down on the docks, working on our tans and watching all the crazy kids and guys jump in the FREEZING water!!! In the evening, we had dinner and and more organized activities, such as a huge relay race all through camp with our groups (which my group WON!) or the talent show and awards... and then we ended each night with songs by the campfire (except the one I ditched to go on a trail run!) and then games in the lodge. It was a GREAT weekend!!! I fell in love with the people of First Baptist Church... and come to find out that their pastor lived in KS for awhile, and another guy told me that both of his grandparents retired from the Timken factory in Ohio!! Yet one more example of how small this world really is!!! I can't wait for next year!!!!

I managed to miss the last step on my way to kitchen duty...all because I was admiring God's beautiful creation... and that's the thanks I got.
I LOVED the praise & worship!!!
