calhoun country: Camp Kidventure Day 2

Our desination for Camp Kidventure Day 2 was Oops Alley.

We have visited the bowling alley all 3 years of Sports Camp.

I challenged the kids to see if they could remember the devotions from the past 2 years... Well, BLESS MY SOCKS OFF... they did!

The first year we talked about do we handle life's problems like a bowling ball or a basketball. When tough stuff happens do we bounce back or land with a thud.

Last year we talked about the 10 commandments since there are 10 pins in bowling. They were able to recall them all!!!

Here's our little 10 commandment trick using a little visual imagery...

#1 Imaging the #1 point up to God and think 'He's #1!'

~ "Thou shalt have no other God's before me"~

#2 Imagine the number 2 shaped as a beautiful golden swan idol.

~"Thou shall make no graven image"

#3 Think of the 3 as a mouth or sideways pair of lips.

~"Do not take the name of the Lord in vain."~

#4 Think of the 4 as a sail in a sailboat with a big HOLE in it. We should not spend our Sundays out boating on the water.

~"Honor the Sabbath day and keep it HOLY"~

#5 Imagine the 5 as the belly of a pregnant mom.

~"Honor your Father and MOTHER"~

#6 Turn the 6 on its side and think of a gun.

~"Thou shalt not kill"~

#7 is especially funny considering the current events regarding Tiger Woods.

Imagine an angry wife running after her cheating husband with the #7 (or golf club) in her hands.

~"Thou shalt not commit adultery"~

#8 Turn the number 8 on its side and think of it as a pair of handcuffs.

~"Thou shalt not steal"~

#9 Think of it as a judge's gavel and imagine the judge opening up court by saying 'Do you swear to tell the TRUTH, the whole TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH?'

~"Thou shalt not bear false witness."~

#10 think of the numbers like a bat and a ball. Imagine your favorite baseball player and how easy it could be to become envious or COVET his talent.

~"Thou shalt not covet."~
