2010: Summer Story #5

This story is not about a specific camper in general but rather about a group of campers. It all began when I dropped by our Eureka Camp Site one Friday afternoon. On Fridays after lunch the entire camp comes together to watch a fun movie. Most of the kids enjoy this time and look forward to it. On this particular day that I stopped in I came into the movie as always and sat down with a few campers. As I was sitting there I noticed a light on in a room right next to our movie. Out of curiosity I got up to investigate. As I approached the door I was surprised by what I found. Inside the room where 3 girls reading their Bibles. This is some what strange as most of the campers don't ask to do this during the movie. Since I didn't want to disturb them I went to find their counselor to see what was going on. After speaking with the counselor I found out that they had simply asked to read their Bibles instead of watching a movie. How exciting it was to see children reading their Bibles and filling their life with the truth rather then watching a movie for enjoyment.
