Ravencrest's tomorrow.
Then back to camp for the remainder of the summer.
Life's pretty sweet. |

Goodbye cruel world.
And Hello summer camp. |

| Another semester down the drain.
Four more semesters, and I'm headed straight for life.
Weird.
It's been a long, strange year. I've been a brother (and a pretty poor one quite often), a bother (very freuquently), and a boyfriend (sorta. but surely.). I've been an accontability partner, a vomit drinker, and a hurricane cleaner-upper. I've been a student, a mentor, and a biker (maybe only a couple times. but that's enough.). I've been a GNC-from-Rogers-walker, a plasma-donater, and a Heifer.org donor. I've been a Christian, a son, and a roommate. I've been a nerf dart fighter, a Psyclops warrior, and an attendee at a coming-into-manhood-mistaken-for-a-birthday party. I've been a desk breaker, a heart breaker, and a soul taker. I've been a hardcore kid, an Ultimate kid, and a stinky kid. I'm a pirate and a playground-tromper. I've experienced lots of amazing, wonderful things. And I'm glad. There's only One Life to Live. And I hate soap operas. And like soap.
I'm about to be a counselor, a lifeguard, a friend, and a role model.
And I hope I'm a disciple.

| I always feel spread so thin. I always want to help. Help everyone. I hear about the children enslaved to fight for the LRA in Uganda. I hear about South American peoples starving to death. I hear about worthwhile causes everyday. But what can I do? Do I give to http://www.invisiblechildren.com , and help the kids who are being forced to rape and murder their fellow Ugandans? Do I give to http://www.heifer.org , and help out families who are starving to death by allowing them some stability and a source of income? Do I give to the United Way, or to cancer research, or to homeless shelters, or to people I meet who are down on their luck? Is my time better spent leading a cell group? Do I keep mentoring? Is a week long mission enough? Is 10% of my allowance and my blood money enough? Is 20%? Is 100%? If I go to Peru or Bolivia on a long term mission, will I be focusing my time too much in one area and ignoring whole other continents? I just don’t ever know what to do with all that I have.
