So, we We had Water Fight Night on August 2nd and it was pretty fun. We did a water relay which turned out to be a lot more disgusting than I thought it would be, a 'see who can get the most points by throwing water balloons at targets with different point values' game, and a human and water balloon version of Battleship. I found that my preconceptions of how these games were going to work were shattered. I thought that all the games had relatively simple rules, but I found that teens and preteens are masters of loopholes. Anyway, we had tons of fun and you can obviously see in the pictures that I got more than a little wet. One of the great parts of this evening though was the testimony given by a parent of a couple of our students, John Pascutti. He talked about the importance of having a relationship with Christ vs. just abiding by the do's and don'ts of scripture because we're 'suppose to'. Christ calls us into something deeper than the cycle of guilt, shame and repentance that the later perpetuates. Christ calls us to himself. That is where we find the grace and love that we hear about. That is where we find peace.
