Ranch Shekinah

Morning Chapel at Camp Ranch Shekinah

 After breakfast each morning, the kids would go to chapel - outside, by the lake.  We'd sing songs, listen to a talk by Robert Frye, and sometimes have a skit with a spiritual meaning.

 

 

 If you look really close at the box that Rachel has a foot in, you will see the word, "Sin" printed on it in large letters.  The story line opens up when a Billy gives Rachel this box to watch as he needs to go somewhere for a while.  He tells her to watch it for him, but gives strict instructions to not touch it. Predictably, just as soon as he leaves her with the box, curiosity gets the best of her, she begins to inspect it, and eventually puts her foot in it.

.

Not surprisingly, she cannot get her foot out of this box called 'Sin' once in it.  She tries and tries, but  it is to no avail. She is trapped in Sin.

 

.

 A woman walks by and Rachel cries out to her for help to get out of this bad situation.  The woman tells her that if only she would meditate and chant, Rachel could get out. 

It didn't work.  Rachel was still trapped.

.

 

 

Ashley suggested that Rachel try music to forget about her situation and eventually she'd be able to get out.

 

 

 A couple walked by and again, Rachel cried out for help.  They told her that "relationships" would help her. 

.

 

 Tiaranny came swaggering by with a bottle wrapped in a brown bag.  A drink would provide all the answers, she told her.

 

 

When Jodi came by, she was counting a fistful of dollar bills, not paying any attention to what was going on around her.  Rachel cried out for help, and Jodi took a moment from counting her cash to offer some help.   "All you need is money.  It will help you out of anything."  But Rachel's foot was still firmly  stuck in sin.

.

.

The skit concluded when Billy came back to retrieve his box and found Rachel stuck in sin.  She explained to him that curiosity had gotten the best of her, and she had gotten stuck.  She cried out for help from many, and none of their answers helped her.  At this, Billy responded to Rachel that the only way to be freed from sin is through Jesus Christ.  And unlike meditation, drinking, relationships, or money, asking Christ to be her personal Saviour set her free.

Great Skit!!! Wow, thanks for sharing all the photos - the girls and I really enjoyed them. It looks like the campers really had fun - you have such a perfect setting for having fun and getting dirty. :) I esp. liked the cook off. It's so nice you can use your place for so much ministry!

Have a good week! We are going camping up at the BWCAW later this week - I hope we have fun, it's not suppose to be exactly warm.

Thanks for visiting - I LOVE your visits. Yes, we are a little drill team crazy around here too - now we are working with the horses in desensitizing them to music and the girls want to make some flags and ride with them so the horses are use to them too. Did you tape Rachel in her preformance? I'd love to see it - or at least a photo.

Re: Books - Yes, I have "I Kissed Dating Good Bye" and read it a couple of years ago - I agree, a very good book. I'm saving it for Amber. Finishing the Hospitality book is next - I'm bringing it with us camping. Boy, you are a fast reader!!! And Voddie's book, "What He Must Be", we only got to page 40 and I had to return it to the libarary - someone must have a hold on it, so I will have to recheck it out later, but it was good so far. I love anything by Voddie. Do you have the dvd, "The Return of the Daughters". I love that too.

Have a good day - I better go get started on my lists. We have a couple more vacations coming up too. Where are you guys going this year?

Great message! I might pass this along to my youth pastor for an idea.

About Me

Welcome to our ranch! Come, sit on our porch, have some tea, and stay a while. Were going to have a lot of fun chatting. Bring the kids, too, as we've got lots of room to play, horses to ride, cats and kitties to cuddle, gentle dogs to pet, and baby chickens to look at and hold. We can take trail rides around the alfalfa field, wade through the creek, take a paddle boat to the island on the lake, go fishing, or explore the Black Walnut Forest. There's no hurry around here. We'll just meander about and maybe even pack a picnic basket - Ranch Shekinah is abounding with Mulberry trees, wild blackberries and raspberries, an orchard of apple trees, and a herb garden.
