"Plan B" Works for Me!!

They say that it's always good to have a "plan B" - whoever, "they" are! Anyway, PIU's Spiritual Emphasis Days planners definitely had a "plan B!" Today, we were supposed to kick off with lunch at an outdoor venue (Bayview Church), but due to a tropical storm skirting our area, we started with lunch on campus - lots of laughing, smiles, and fun. No one seemed to mind the change too much! Later today, we'll be off to Bayview as the weather clears to hear Matt Augee speak. But earlier today, we were still on campus for food, fun, and fellowship!

We had some great activities! A group relay race
was first - here's a true action shot! It involved fishing for Lifesavers in flour (with mouths!), shuffling across the room in paper bag slippers, tagging a teammate who then had to carry a raw egg back across the room to two other teammates. These next two had to walk sideways, back to back, to the last two teammates back across the room, who then "danced" to the finish line! There were LOTS of laughs!







Following the relay race was a good "old fashioned" watermelon eating contest. Meluat definitely won, but everyone gave him some good competition, including Justin, from our community group. (I think the fact that we did this contest after lunch slowed things down a bit!!)

Regardless, everyone had a great time!






No shortage of smiles here!

Pray for us all, students
and staff alike, to hear
from God over the next
two days - that we would be sensitive to His speaking
to us through the scriptures and the speaker at the retreat.
