Morning devotions on the back porch of the dining hall |
Todd Kappelman shares his devotional on sloth. Really. |

In a lecture on business and Christian principles in the marketplace, Sue Bohlin built a "wall" to show how many people erroneously separate the Bible from what they think of as "real life": school, work, music, entertainment, language, relationships. Nobody was prepared for her to suddenly sweep the wall onto the floor to show it's a false disconnect, and the Bible applies to every aspect of life. |
When Ray Bohlin taught three different views of Science and Earth History that Christians hold, he showed Michaelangelo's sculpture of Moses, complete with goat horns, to show how our understanding of the Word can change over time, and that can impact our understanding of Genesis as well. |

Sarah Waldrop and Josh Rackley fill in the blanks in their outlines in the back of the room. |
We had a celebrity in our midst this year! Ryan Russenberger was the Dubble Bubble (chewing gum) bubble-blowing national champion for 2005. |
 |
 |
Ryan brought gum and measuring calipers. Austin Lynn's bubble got pretty big. . . |
. . .and then it popped and he had to clean up the gum that got all over him. Ryan Lamb and Austin's sister Amy try their hand—um, mouth—at it as well. |

Josh Rackley gives it his best. |
Andrew Gordon eloquently and passionately expressed his thoughts about the reading that afternoon. |

Ray Bohlin led a new session featuring a resource from Youth Transition Network called LiveAbove.com. This website provides helpful information about Christian ministries for just about any college campus so that incoming freshmen can plug in immediately, which can make the difference between continuing in the faith—or not. |
Students watch a powerful video from LiveAbove.com showing some of the temptations of campus freedom and how it can cost dearly. |

There's plenty of unstructured hanging-out time while waiting for the evening film to start. |
This is the foyer of Sunset Point, where most of our lectures were held. |

Nate Peterson plays for Ashli Warford. This night, many of the students stayed up late, enjoying their conversations with a caliber of other students many didn't even know existed. |
