Avalanche Ranch - Day 4

GOD IS AWESOME - Wah-hoo! In today's blissfully cooler weather, the young-uns on Avalanche Ranch took full advantage of the fresh air and sun by playing running games and water games on the rectory lawn. Those guys in the center, Will Dwinnels (back to the camera) and Peter Mavilla, were leading the fun.

Quote for the day . . . this time from one of the teen group leaders: "Can I sign up to do this again next year?"

I gotta tell you, it was an amazing and wonderful thing to sit in the chapel this afternoon and see 25 teens lead 50 VBS kids in singing praises to God . . .
"Saddle up your horses, we've got a trail to blaze,
Through the wild blue yonder of God's amazing grace.
Let's follow our Leader into the glorious unknown
This is a life like no other, oh, it's the Great Adventure."

If you want to be blessed right down to your toes, take a few minutes tomorrow and pop in at 11:45 a.m. to see the kids sing some of the songs they've learned for their parents. Yee-haw!
Blessings,
