Dippy Goes to Austria!

There were 198,000 possible combinations of crashes in the first 8 minutes of Cletus‟s un-circumspect drivin‟. Mr. I. R. Dippy, having been fired from his Inspectitator job, decided to take hisself a vacation to recuper-ate from all his close shaves with Cletus. He heard tell of a place with live hills where everyone‟s 16 going on 17.

Challengin’ the Clans

The Tic-Tac Challenge had both teams diggin‟ deep in pockets and backpacks for all kinds of items. Commissioner Rush named an item (5 batteries, 4 chewed pieces of gum, a ping-pong ball, 15 socks, a stop-watch stopped at exactly 5.1 seconds) and the clans rushed to be the first to present their Clan Leader with the item. Once a team got three in a row, the teams were issued a challenge in a head-to-head “skill” competition. Challenges included things like sing-ing nursery rhymes, a tug-o-war, and toilet paper unrolling. Both clans held their breaths as the competition came down to the wire in a Q-tip throw.

Commissioner Rush called for many items during the challenge, but some were voted “most disgustitat-ing” (listed in order of votes):

“Five pieces of chewed gum.”

“Fifteen socks.”

“Four guys!”

Mountain Meetin’

The focus of yesterday morning‟s service was walking with wisdom on life‟s path. Mr. Tompkins, our speaker, challenged us to consider whether our walk is obedient to what we know to be true in God‟s Word.

In our last service of the week, Pas-tor Eric poured out his heart for us as he pleaded with us to get excited about the things of God, specifically His Word. God is pleased with His Word because it reveals Him. When we pursue God through His Word, and are willing to adjust our lives based on what we read there, we are pursuing what pleases God.

Huntin’ in the Holler

The last game of the week had both teams spread out over most of the campground in a massive new version of capture-the-flag. Competition was fierce as the Kousins and Hicks chased each other across fields with water bal-loons, trying to score a hit as well as capture the flags.

Both Wiginton boys proved to be knock-outs in the game. Paiton demonstrated his talent with a water balloon when he knocked out a window in the snack shop. And Clay was knocked out of the game briefly when he evaded three converging water balloon attackers by wiping out on the gravel road. Dr. Dan patched him up and both guys finished the game.
