Welcome to the surface of the sun

"Sweltering heat hits central U.S."

No kidding! I cannot remember this kind of heat. It's only a 106 heat index today. On the bright side, kids made it to church for our early take-off and we made it out the door by 3:45 am. With two potty stops and lunch we were ready to tackle the Cumberlands. We did have a small bout with a carsick student. If you call three walmart bags full a small bout. All was better after ginger ale and crackers. Gotta keep moving.

We arrived shortly after one and registration is always a challenge with lots to keep track of. Keys, pictures, room asignments, name cards, maps, etc. With a little practice we will all get the routine down. The next scheduled event is dinner and then our opening celebration! The kids are excited for a great week of ministry. I think they're ready.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my wonderful chaperones on their first trip to Walmart for water, their souls to keep...
