Michelle Sweeney and Daniel Kiser browse our discounted book table full of wonderful books that help build a Christian worldview. |
Ashley Haub and Kathryn Barnes listen to a nearby conversation, while Karla Evans prepares for Ray Bohlin's afternoon reading group. |
This is typical of the downtime between events on the schedule. Students gather to chat, play cards, look over their notes or do the reading for the reading groups, or just sit and watch everybody else do those things. |
Hanging out in one of the girls' rooms before the afternoon reading session. Left to right: Julie Jackson, Riley Von Edwins, Nikki Canalichio, Ellen Bogart, and Britney Bearden. |
At the end of today's reading groups, the skies opened and anyone who was outside got totally, absolutely, positively drenched. Left to right: Audrey Lopata, Laura Lopata, Bek Davis, Catie Vail, and KC Vetter. |
Those engaged in a game of world domination didn't care about the rain; it was a grand day for staying inside and wiping their competitors off the board. Michael Holets, Tyler Bennett, Andrew Marsh, Grant Nabholz and Daniel Kiser prepare to be vanquished. . . |
. . .by Nathan Andrews and Ray Bohlin, the final two world powers. Nathan, with Ray's armies arrayed against him, won with a single roll of a die at the end of the game. |
Waiting for the rain to abate by playing cards are Catie Vail, Alan Eller, Lindsey Ambrester, Grant Nabholz and Heather Schellhase. |
The card-playing developed into an animated game of spoons. (When looking through the pictures on Sue's laptop, Ellen asked, "Did you get a picture of our violent spoons game?") |
Later in the afternoon the rain dried up, allowing some students to go through the ropes course. Tyler Bennett and KC Vetter ran the partner ropes course. |
Every year, we are visited by alumni who drop in to say hi to the Probe staff. This year, Hannah Bakke came back to join us for an amazing banquet dinner and stayed for the Friday night session where we look back over the week. (The bags under Sue Bohlin's eyes are not smudged makeup. We are running on empty by this point in the week, but God is always faithful to be our joy and our strength.) |
Each speaker got up, one at a time, and reminded the students of which lectures we gave. We took questions or comments, and then asked a question that would require them to have been paying attention during the lecture. Winners got to choose a Probe book from the book table. Kyle Driscoll answered Ray Bohlin's question, who laughingly points out the book he edited (and primarily wrote), Creation, Evolution and Modern Science. |
Erin Singleton also won a book or other Probe product. She chose between books and CDs (such as the Probe Web site on CD, and a four-lecture CD set on "Decoding The Da Vinci Code" that we now produce. See our online bookstore for more details.) The students watched another movie, having been taught how to look at movies differently, and then headed up to Mountain Crest Lodge for a special coffeehouse event put on by the Ozark staff. |
