Dolfin cabin day 2


Day 2 kicked off with something like 10lbs of greasy sausage being consumed, which is about as good as one can start a day. The morning featured time for the students to spend alone with God, as well as discussing the previous night's topic with their small groups. The morning then proceeded into a fierce game of water fight capture the flag. Instead of tagging someone to get them out you had to use a water gun or a water balloon to soak the alka seltzer tablet of your opponent (which was taped to their arm). I personally loved this game because I was the anti-Switzerland: against everyone but no one was against me. So yeah, I got most people out.

We had another great day on the lake, doing tubing, jet ski, wakeboarding, water trampoline, and more. The afternoon also featured a game of thawing T-shirts that had been frozen overnight. We also played a massive game of ultimate Frisbee in the lake.

After dinner everyone had a chance to hangout before we proceeded to worship. Once again everyone danced and sang their hearts out before we got to the message. This time we focused on Operation. I started by saying we all need to take an X-ray of our life to see what sin is in it that needs to be operated on (taken out), all which is based on Jesus' teaching in Mark 9:43-47. We then heard from one of our high school student's who had once had a lot of sin in their life, but had asked God for forgiveness and allowed God to help them change their ways. This testimony was very powerful and helped many students take a strong X-ray of their lives. I don't know that I've ever seen the Holy Spirit move so much in a room as I did that night. Everyone then wrote down the sins they had to remove and went outside to throw those sins into a fire. Moving back inside we passionately sang some more before heading for smore making. The night ending with a long singing session and everyone hanging out together outside. I think it's safe to say this was a day in which many of us were changed in a very significant way, which I certainly praise God for.
