Sleep in Day!
Today the campers and counselors enjoyed pushing everything back an hour. Wake up was at 8am instead of 7 and breakfast ran from 9 to 9:30. It was much needed rest and everyone seemed to benefit.
Today's morning meeting began with a few spiritual words from Coach Frazier Stowers. He decided to speak about leadership this morning. It was a great topic to choose as we finish our first full week of camp and the teams have settled into their roles.
He cited words from the book of Genesis, "Man is made in the reflection of God's character", and went on to explain that God has placed us here on earth to "reign" and that this a powerful thing, we are all meant to lead, further espousing that, sometimes we can be diverted away and misuse our authority by being over confident or not confident enough. Coach Stowers continued on speaking from the book of John, that as a leader, you are a servant yourself and as a teammate, think about placing your teammates before yourself. In closing, he read words from the book of Paul. Coach went on to say that "just because you're young, it doesn't mean you can't be an influence to others around you, God gave this power to all of us". He explained to the boys that they shouldn't shy away from the tasks of doing these things.
It was a beautiful time spent on the steps of the Dick Gym. We all reflected on how blessed we are to be sharing these few weeks with your special gifts from God.
The meeting closed with camper of the day awards from Saturday and a special award going to an entire team for their struggles of the week and their desire to persevere through adversity. Coach Alexander explained to the group how each of their teammates remained supportive of each other throughout the week despite some tough losses and that he likes to believe that adversity reveals character. They are quite an example of leadership and good character. The team that was awarded was Oklahoma.
