Campfire Saturday–Middle School Camp 2–Like David . . . Only Better!

Hello, Blog friends. It’s Campfire Saturday! Please enjoy this sneak peek at one of my blogs written for Camas Meadows Bible Camp.

 

 In the heat of late July and early August, amidst record numbers of yellow jackets for the state of Washington, a herd of wonderfully rambunctious junior high campers tumbled into camp.

 

It truly was a herd!

 

Between staff and campers, the kitchen fed 95 people this week!

 

And along with those rowdy kids, Pyro, tumbled into being our camp speaker.

 

You see, Scruffy thought he had the Middle School Camp 2 speaker all covered, but at the last minute, the plan fell through. Pyro, a long-time camp friend and one of our board members, heard that Scruff was madly scrambling for a new speaker and offered to help out.

 

This week, he spoke on the life of David.

 

How David, as the chosen king of united Israel and Judah, was supposed to point ahead toward the coming Messiah. Pyro also spoke of David’s incredible failures and a life filled with war and bloodshed, so much bloodshed that he was not allowed to build God’s temple. However, God still used David. Even with all of his flaws, David’s life and reign did indeed point forward to a completely different kind of King.

 

And that wraps up this sneak peek of life at our Middle School Camp 2 this summer. For the rest of the story, please visit The Campfire Blog!
