"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

"And the Rocket's Red Glare..."



I had an awesome Fourth of July! I spent it at my favorite camp in the world, Cohutta Springs Youth Camp. I went there last week, and in the next few posts I'll share some comments and photos about my time there. This post will focus on the first day I was at Cohutta, July 4. There are pictures of the flag lowering, the campfire-less campfire, and some fabulous fireworks!! Enjoy!!

^^I really liked this photo! :D


^^The staff did a wonderful flag-lowering.







(above and below): singing awesome camp songs!





^^Most every night there was a "Camper Challenge", where each village would compete against each other in some silly game. It was really cool!

^^Every evening two staff hosted "Cohutta Springs News Network", where they would talk about sports, weather, a really cool true story, as well as a fact or fiction game.

^^Each night there was a really funny play, but with a thought worthy point. It was all based on a professor and his student traveling in a time machine. On Sunday night, they traveled to a medival battle.


^^One of the knights told how he and his friend (below) did not win right away because at the last minute they went on opposing teams, instead of being together. The point of the play was to choose your friends wisely.




^^And the wonderful fireworks! :D















More articles and photos on camp coming soon! :D
