Its been a great day at Ocean Park. We were blessed to have sunshine in the morning! That enabled us to be able to worship at the new outdoor worship area built by the people of Longview United Methodist Church. Dean Shellane Adams declared it, "The best morning watch in the conference." Coming from a dedicated Twinlow woman that is high praise indeed! It is a beautiful setting on the dune looking out at the Ocean.
We were presented with a wonderful drama of the story of Ruth from the Elementary campers. They are having a great time too and hopefully some pictures of them will be posted in the next day.
We spent some time at the beach today building sand castles. Some pictures from that should be up tomorrow as well.
We have a very experienced staff and I am very happy with their work through some difficult circumstances with the weather during our first two days.
Peace,
Bruce

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH ~ for taking the time to write and post pictures. This is our first year at camp and I was a very nervous leaving my 8 year old for a week. But he was determined to go. Then we found out that the other elementary kids from our church had decided not to go. Tyson was still excited to go. It was a little different when we got there. He was in a new environment and knew no one. Now, he was not so sure. It was real hard for me to leave.... But I knew in my heart that this would be a great experience for him. Being able to read the blog and look at pictures helps me feel like I'm not so far away. I love knowing what Tyson is doing and seeing the joy on the kids' faces. Thank you!!!!
FYI ~ Tyson had SOOO much fun, that he didn't even miss me a bit. He said he was the only one in his cabin that didn't cry at night. Of course then I find out that he told the other boys he saw a bear outside of their cabin on the first night. He said they were crying because they were afraid for their lives!!! (UUGGHH, it had to be mine!) So....sorry to all the other parents who had kids fearing for their lives :-) But Tyson still claims he really saw a bear,,,,,
Anyway, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH to ALL the volunteers!! What a HUGE commitment! To give so much of your precious time to help strengthen our children's relationship with the Lord ~ that is just AWESOME. I hope you all have a peaceful weekend (I'm sure you need it) !!!!!
