Glory to God Forever

Session 2A is done. One more two week session to go, 2B and then Starter camp. It's hard to believe that the summer is almost over. This past session was amazing. Every single one of the kids in my cabin were awesome, and they will all be missed. Some really cool and interesting things have been going on over the past couple of days.

Our cabin, cabin 7, won Honor Cabin for Session 2A. This is a really big honor. Our kids worked hard and deserved it. Honor cabin is given to the cabin in each tribe who shines in all the different activities. Each morning we have to clean up the cabin. We then have a cabin inspection where we get points. There are also OA's or Organized activities where we compete with the other cabins in our tribe. By winning those, we also get points that contribute to honor cabin.

Bear Mace, part 2... So we learned that the bear mace that we took on the camp out did not have the clear safety clip that it was supposed to have. That is why when I went to close, what I thought was the safety clip, I actually fired the spray.

The bears are back... We have had several sightings of black bears around camp over the past couple of weeks. Last night, or actually early this morning, I came face to face with one. Since last night was the final night of session 2A, we let our kids stay up a little later. I was going to go to bed about midnight, but I decided to sit outside on my porch for a bit and pray for each of my kids. I forgot to turn the porch light on but had a flashlight with me. As I was sitting there, I looked up and thought I saw a black fuzzy blur right in front of me. The first thought was, that could be a bear. I turned my flashlight on, and sure enough, there was a 300lb bear staring right back at me. I looked at him and he looked at me. I then turned and looked at the door to the cabin thinking about if I would be fast enough to make it to the door. I started to move slowly towards the door and then the bear started to move towards me. I then took off running towards the door and it then turned around and ran back up the hill. After getting into the cabin, I piled a few trunks in front of the door. Needless to say, it took me about an hour to get to sleep after that...

The last two week session will start on Sunday. It's hard to believe that camp is almost over. I am spending this weekend getting plenty of rest so that I can go full speed ahead for the next three weeks and make the most out of camp.

As I wrap this post up, I would leave you with this versus:
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
