   The Night Writer family, plus Uncle Ben, went to the Stearns County
   Boy Scout camp recently to minister at their evening service for the 6
   to 11 year olds. The Mall Diva, Tiger Lilly and Ben lead the group in
   some action songs and I delivered a short message which included fire,
   but no brimstone. At one point during the message I actually got
   applause! The best response to any message Iâve ever preached,
   however, was afterward when one father was overheard saying to his son
   âSee, that wasnât so bad, was it?â High praise indeed!
   During our stay with the scouts we had great opportunities to shoot BB
   guns and arrows, eat camp food and sit around the campfire. No scary
   stories, though -- they donât want Cub Scouts having nightmares. Weâre
   planning on going back again!

                        Pointy-end goes in bullseye?

                              Our aim is true.

                              "Trigger" Lilly

        Singing and juggling: "'Orange' you glad you love Jesus..."

        Object lesson: how hard is it to keep the Commandments? The
                blindfolded scouts had to try and catch Ben.

   Fire, no brimstone: flash paper shows what happens to our sin when God
                       forgives us. Poof, it's gone!
