Before retiring for the evening, we’d like to reflect on Day 2 of MSC Sr. Week. Although we got some rain overnight last night, as the day progressed, we heard more news from the Indianapolis area of severe storms, wind damage, and power outages, but we were very fortunate at Shakamak to have missed the storms. We had a…
For our Tuesday evening worship service, Neil Tremblett, who works with the congregation at Greenwood, came and spoke to us about how our relationship with God matters because time is short (I Corinthians 7:29-31, 26). It is a solemn thought of how short time really is (I Corinthians 7:29). The brevity of life is emphasized in Psalm 90:10 where we…
This afternoon, campers retired their softball gloves for their kickball shoes as they hit the ball diamond on the lower sports field. Kickball sounds easy enough, until the second of two innings where kickers were forced to run the bases in the opposite direction. Needless to say, it was an entertaining challenge to spectators. And the scores are: Navy —…

Photographers Mark Newton and Shelby Hall shoot hundreds (if not thousands) of photos every day and they have the difficult task each night of picking their favorite “Photo of the Day” awards to present as framed prints the following day to the subject(s) of the winning photos. The winning photos from yesterday (which were presented at lunch today) are: …
Sports director Greg King led the boys’ Bible study this morning and focused on friendships. He began by asking the question: What kind of friend do you want? Kind? Trustworthy? Godly? Good influence? Helper? Honest? Loyal? Won’t put you down? Servant of the Lord? These are all qualities of good friends, and the kind of friend that we…
This morning, yearbook coordinator Jenny Stout taught the girls’ Bible study continuing today’s theme of “God Fits My Relationships,” focusing specifically on friendships. She began by asking what the Bible says about friendships. How are we to choose our friends? How should friends treat one another? John 15:12-15 tells us: “This is My commandment, that you love one another as…
With our continued theme of “God Fits,” kitchen staff member Jeremy Goen directed our thoughts around the flagpole this morning, focusing on today’s theme, “God Fits My Relationships.” Jeremy began by the entire campground singing Psalm 19:7-10: “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The…
