Some youth camp April 2011 photos

-

Some photos taken by James ...

Dan and Bec - so great to have them involved in our church youth ministry.
Dan's the outdoors expert and took care of the many outdoor activities

The camp cooks - all planned by Irene (on the right)!

I love our inter generational wide age range "youth" camp!

Low tide on our branch front camp site means we can walk over to
the "island" among other things

Outing .... which as usual; I skipped so I could nap! :-)

All kinds of tents

A couple of meters from the tents ... One thing I love is that you can be next
to the ocean and smell the stench of rotting fish and raw sewage and other
pollutants :-)

more tents ...

Little "island" across our camp site

Swimming at a nearby bay

Another of Dan's fun activities - turning coke cans into mini cookers

After watching, time to make their own cooking cans

And cook pancakes!

Something edible found in the sea

Youngest camper - Emmy enjoying her pancake

Look! The Pastor has nothing to do! Everything so well organized and taken care of ...
(Now this is my kind of camp!)

On the way home - a stop over for fast food and more craziness

Fish and chips in little groups on the pier


And feeding the ducks

I'm off for a camping holiday tomorrow with a group of friends from church. Am in church waiting (on my day off too!) for a geothechincal engineer who is almost 2 hours late!! A bit sore at him for asking me to come in early - 8;30 AM to open up for him and not or calling me to let me know he is running late While waiting I found this hilarious piece on the Onion. I forsee more of such networks dying! Yes he's here!! Internet Archaeologists Find Ruins Of 'Friendster' Civilization

Ramblings on an active,full, and tiring two weeks but restful rather than "busy" two weeks

  Happy and grateful to God that this week I got a lot of preparation done (the behind-the-scenes stuff). It has been full (maybe even overflowing), and certainly tiring, but happily not "busy". Setting aside the many regular and emergency activities, there has been a lot of preparation (behind the scenes) matters that required my attention. In danger of feeling overwhelmed as many things got "stuck". It has been in a sense of stressful week that is actually a spillover from last week. But by the grace of God, a lot fell into place and was completed this week. This Sunday's sermon. My Easter sermon for next week (but as usual, I expect there will be a few last-minute revisions 😀) Weekly notes for April's bulletins The next home group meeting study questions about Moses' life. My mental block was removed so was able to start work on study questions on the book of Jeremiah Same for a youth Bible study on the book of Acts. While I still have 5 more Sunday

Thanks, everyone for the birthday wishes via FB, FB messenger, regular text, and WhatsApp. I am not one that is big on celebrating my birthdays. But since it was my 60th, the one thing I did was take the day off to relax. I did some reading, watched TV, and played a PC game. No not Civ 6 or Xcom2 but something different - Age of Empires 4. Rather educational cut scenes too 😁 No special meals as my wife had to work. But on Monday she made me a huge cheesecake and a large tray of lasagna. 😋 And I ate that for three meals 🤣 Monday night's dinner, and yesterday for lunch and dinner. No complaint. was good. My plan was to attend a magic lecture last night BUT, plans for derailed due to helping sort out my wife's car. The lecture was part of my personal birthday plans 🙁BUT all good, wife comes first! I told my family NOT to buy me anything as I think can end up being a waste of money if it ends up being something I don't really want or need. Instead, I decided to buy myself
