High School Retreat

Hello to all my readers.

From wed afternoon to friday afternoon, i was up at mt. giliad(sp?) with my high school. It was alot more fun then i thought it was going to be. So, the first night we got there, we were expected to play these unbelievably dirty games. We were split up into teams and then moved from one game to the next. The games included, capture the flag, tug of war on a slip and slide with someone spraying you with a hose (not very fun) and trying (notice the imphisis on trying) to shave a balloon without popping it, the balloon had shaving cream all over it, along with other games that i decided against participating in. The food there was, surprisingly, very good and i learned a fun game that is sometimes played at debate tournys. Probably the best part of camp for me was the bucket of ice that they had on a counter in the cafeteria. (sp?) Now, some of you might be wondering right about now, whats so great about ice, well i'll tell you. This ice was not your normal break your teeth ice cubes, but small ices cubes the size of eracers that u could just pop in your mouth any time. So on to the speaker. He had very impressive credentials, i must admit, and he made very good points. But.....he didn't seem like he was basing his talks on the Bible, which disappointed me greatly. The first night he had those of us who had our Bibles open up to a certain passage and he said to those who didn't have their bibles, 'to contemplate why they didn't have their bibles.' But after the first night he didn't again mention our bibles, except for an occasional verse on the over head. So that was a bit discouraging, but other then that i had a very fun week of camp and made lots of new friends. =)
