Hungry Man
Do not eat a Hungry Man 1 lb Meal, or any portion of one. They're a flavorless, amorphous pile of glop. You're better off with tacquitos or Kraft dinner.
Charlie and I made our cabin theme Hungry Men for this last week. We had a lot of fun with it -- came up with new menus every day to shout out before meal time. Then, as the special surprise for our cabin Thursday night, we heated up some of those wretched things to eat as a late night snack. The rest of the week, our little pre-meal menus were replaced with commentaries on how underwhelming those frozen dinners are. It was fun.
Wouldn't you rather learn most of what you know about God from people who rarely talk about God? I kinda feel like when you find yourself in a role where you're teaching kids about God, you should really just trust that they and God will figure it out together. If they want to talk, I'll listen (and probably keep my mouth shut), but I'm going to put most of my energy into making this a safe, fun place for them. I don't feel bad about that.

Thanks, Janul.
I think that the purpose of going to chuch camp is to discover your own personal relationship with god. Trying to tell someone what that relationship should be is, in my opinion, counter productive. Part of the beauty of religion is that every person has different views, beleifs, and a different relationship with God...therefore, you sole purpose should be to foster and protect the ablity to create and discover that bond...and when it is discovered...it is a truely beautiful thing
Not only counter productive, but I think a big turn-off to God. That has always been my experience.
