S.P.E.C.I.A.L. 2010

you may remember the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. from last year. you may want to read that to remember why on earth we'd subject kids to this.

this year, it was all different. it rained the whole time, it was a different smaller group of athletes. but, you know what? God showed up.

so wierd, but they started at the pool.

praise be to God for the gift of His Son, and the suffering He endured for us.

what an amazing idea - does this happen throughout the country or just there? How did they break into teams and were they all students from CSU or multiple schools?
