Typical is Awesome

Yesterday was a typical day. Now that I think about it, every day here at Kwest seems to be Typical. Not that it all goes perfect, but when you have rose colored glasses on, it's tough not to see how great things are here on Kanakuk hill.

It was also a incredible day! What do I mean by that?

It was a beautiful day of Ozark summer weather (the only place the sky is more blue is in Colorado).

The kampers all had a great day (laughter seems to start before sun comes up and not finish till the last person puts their head on the pillow).

Eternity will now look different because of what occurred at our kamp fires last night (some kids rang the bell signifying that they had given their lives to Christ).

Not to mention kids smiling and conquering home sickness, new friendships forming that I know will last for life, and a few boys creating memories that they will never forget (I taught aqua skipping class and we sank one but had a ton of fun playing on Table Rock Lake).

Yep, it was pretty much a regular 'ol day here at Kwest...which by the way, just happens to Awesome!

I will never stop being amazed at how the Lord continues to bless what we do here. We have a great staff who are yielding their lives to Him, a wonderful leadership team who tirelessly work to make it all excellent, and an owner whose passion for serving the Lord is unmatched by any other man I know.

When "typical" becomes "awesome" there is always danger of getting used to things being so great. That never happens here. God always seems to show up in new and different ways showering us with a never ending flow of His love, grace and mercy.

I am glad that yesterday was another "typical day" here at Kwest. Each summer day that passes just makes me feel it's getting better and better.

I can't believe it's almost over. We have so much to do in so little time...

A song in our Hearts

The Wizard of Oz, the sound of Music, or Disney's Mulan? Today is have a song in your heart day. That's right. Everyone is singing here at Kwest. It's fun, it's light, and it's uplifting.

Each day we have a "theme" for the day which includes a skit at flag. This morning we were singing songs and having loads of fun with the classic Disney songs and old musicals that never go out of style.

We have a picture perfect day weather wise and the kampers are all enjoying a full day of classes tailored to their own personal liking (remember at Kwest all kampers get to select all of their own classes).

Both our one week and two week kampers are having a blast!

Finally Here!

Opening day 6th term. Opening day 11th term. We have been waiting all winter. They have been waiting all winter. It's finally here and boy what a start!

Last night was a picture perfect night at Kwest as the cars and buses rolled in, dropped off kampers and luggage, and we got to start another term of kamp. The weather was perfect, the burgers were the best, and Klife was rocking last night as we kicked off another Dare to Dream time on the grounds of Kwest.

This group looks to be our best of the summer. I am excited to get things going and so are they.

I love kamp.
