On a perfectly gorgeous afternoon in Cannon Beach, with bright sun and no clouds, Tim Greenidge and I judged the sand sculpture contest. We had over 20 entries. The winners will be announced at supper tonight. I want to give special attention to two sculptures based on sermons I’ve preached this week:
|
This boy is driving under the influence of the Spirit, based on my sermon this morning.
|
|
|
Last night I preached on Jesus washing the disciples’ feet so one enterprising crew built this replica of a foot in a basin.
|
|
|
In this close-up you see corns and bumps and even fungus between the toes, all facts I pointed out in my sermon last night.
|
|
|
The girl in orange is an angel who became a mermaid.
|
|
|
One team created a model of Cannon Beach Conference Center, complete with a Keep Believing wristband hung around the cross.
|
|
|
This ended up being an exquisite series of sea turtles complete with a tide pool, marshy reeds, and two baby turtles.
|
|
|
What started out as a lion ended up as a huge basset hound, sort of.
|
|
|
Here we see Shadrach and Meshach by the fiery furnace.
|
|
|
This sleepy child represents one of the guards who was consumed by the fire.
|
|
|
Tim Greenidge helped me choose the final winner, to be announced at supper tonight.
