Ohio Presbytery Youth Camp: Camp Views

Last year, I promised pictures and they never came... This year WILL be different.

Without further ado... Summer Camp!


Our sign is very important.... Putting it up (or taking it down) can be a very important moment.... And yes, we took lots of photos. :P

Isn't this area beautiful?!

The Nurse's station... and main cabin office


Some of the girls cabins... with clothes line. :)


The lake...
The Pool... etc.
I LOVE this photo! Kudos to Kathy for taking it!

More to come...

1st Dance Cookout of the Summer

Whew! It's hard to believe that it's that time of year again... Dance cookouts are fun, summer togetherness. (BTW, isn't togetherness a great word?!)

I wish I had pictures of all the delicious food, but alas! I didn't take any. :(

Without further eloquence (and until I get my act together and post part 2 of the Creation Museum and Beach trip pictures)...

The Black Nag

The Young Widow

Isn't this the "oddest" photo?

The "Pink" Girlies

Summer Salad

Aren't gardens delightful? The seeds of labor come to fruition... in a yummy summer salad. The Kincell's cucumbers, grandpa's tomatoes, some onion, & a little Italian dressing. Mmm, just the thing to complete a meal.

Camp Runamucka

Just kidding!


I have shamelessly neglected this blog of late. Part of the problem was being gone at church camp for a whole week. As soon as I get the "official photos, I'll be sure to share more. :)

It is my goal to start updating y'all on what has been going on around here ASAP.

VBS 2009

The Powell Family hosted VBS again this year. What a blessing to be able to serve our church in this capacity. =)

The theme of Bible School

Craft Barn (Er... Garage?)

Classes Outside...

When the weather was nice

Crafts with Melissa and Andrea

Recreation with Jamie

Singing for Opening Exercises

A full week of cleaning, preparing, and hosting makes for some very tired Powell's. But, by God's grace, we made it through another year.

Summer Reading - Part 2

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~C.S. Lewis

“You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.” ~ Paul Sweeney

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” ~Groucho Mark

“If a book is really good, it deserves to be read again, and if it's great, it should be read at least three times.” ~Anatole Broyard

“A lot of people ask me if I were shipwrecked, and could only have one book, what would it be? I always say 'How to Build a Boat'.” ~Stephen Wright

“Beware the person of one book.” ~Latin Proverb

Summer Reading - Part 1

No more pencils!
No more books!
No more teacher's dirty looks!

Um... on second thought... scratch the second one.

I love to read. Unfortunately, because of my college reading and responsibilities, I often neglect my own reading. Often when summer time arrives, I cannot stand the thought or sight of a book! However, Providence this year has decreed that I should once again pick up some good ol' friends...

Some Graphic Novels... And the DC Universe

Comics, more graphic novels, and the Marvel Universe

Fantasy, historical fiction w/a twist, and another graphic novel

concerning the Holocaust

Yes. It's lovely to read again.
