This was a really low week in our teen department at Maranatha! After quite a few weeks of increasing numbers up to about sixty, we only had about 15 teens at our programs each day...Volleyball and Football camp took a lot of kids away from us...But we managed to rest a lot and have a lot of fun with the kids we did have!

This is a picture of Jason doing some heavy drinking...We got lucky enough to get a half a keg of rootbeer from a parent for our weekly Sunday Night Pizza Party...The kids really enjoyed it, but the staff definitely enjoyed taking funny pictures with it more! This one is a tame one...I'm sure you can all imagine!






On Tuesday when we got back we went on a kayak ride on Mona Lake, which is connected to Lake Michigan very close to us...We had a lot of fun and a great workout!










We also had some fun at the pool this week. This was Tuesday night Teen Swim and although we didn't have a lot of kids, we still had fun! To get an idea of Maranatha's beachfront and pool, you can see that I am looking out at Lake Michigan in this picture...and enjoying an amazing sunset! What a beautiful place this is! :)

So today's coffee of the day is...hmmmm...probably Bubble Gum flavored. We're doing a study next week from a book called Chew On This...it's about spiritual formation and "chewing on" scripture...but there's a big piece of Bubble Gum on the front, and it's sitting next to me, calling me to do some work!!

Hope you're all doing great!! Love you!
