Flakey bloggers

I was looking through my xanga subscriptions and I noticed that almost 100% of people (minus Lindsay) that used to write xanga blogs don't write anymore.  I never realized I had be-friended a bunch of flakey bloggers.  I read some old blogs that "friends" had written and I really enjoyed them.  And I put parenthesis around "friends" because real friends would write blogs.  But now there is no new content to read and I'm downright unhappy about it.  I don't even know what the point is in complaining about it is because no one will read this anyways.  W/E, IDC Yo!

Anyways, the above paragraph is meant to motivate some of you to consider returning to blogging, because I think it's really fun, and it's even more fun if friends do it with me!

So besides that, I'm at camp and I'm still alive, if anyone cares.  I've made some pretty sweet videos out here and last night I stayed up till 2 working on one of them thats amazing and might be released on youtube later this summer.  But as for right now I need to go take so pictures of kids or run sound or something.  So I guess thats about it, and remember: If you don't wear crocs with socks, your foothair might just get ripped out.

P.S. I'm dating this one girl, who is really cool, and her name is Lindsay, and I think everyone should know that I'm really happy about it and that I'm really blessed and that I miss her a ton.  That is all. 

I'm on duty

Tonight, I'm on duty in the office, and everyone else is out doing stuff.  I am stuck inside this office doomed to be editing videos for the rest of my natural life.  I guess there are a lot of things I still need to film as well before covenant camps next week. 

So I guess I dont know what else to write.  I'm trying to take a break for a minute...or an hour, I don't know.  The videos I'm making are pretty cool, I'm not gonna lie.  But I'm alway nervous while I make them that they won't turn out as good as I want, and my standards are really high. 

This summer is really great though, my spiritual walk is benefiting infinitely (see last post).  And the experience I'm getting out here is also great, and should be really useful in the future, whether I am here or somewhere else...wherever God calls me to be.

Thats all for now,

Camp and Such

Its been a while since I wrote, but as long as I write every once in a while I should be able to keep track of my life fairly well.  Right now I am on office duty at Covenant Cedars, so I have to be here this evening basically just to be here.  This might be long because I have a lot to write.

Camp has been great.  Before camp I was a little worried that it might be difficult to let go of things that I once thought important.  Video games, youtube, sleeping in, and even hanging out with friends all the time are all things that I wasn't sure how I could balance with working at Covenant Cedars.  Now I realize that I really don't have time for any of those things (very often) and that is actually not as bad as I thought.  Here at Cedars I am around great influences a lot, and I have an opportunity to be a great influence myself.  I am really experiencing substantial spiritual growth here, and I'm not saying that to brag at all.  It is just so incredibly exciting to really put God as number one in my life, and when God is number one, nothing else really matters. 

I'm not perfect, I really want to emphasize that.  There is still sin in my life and things that the Lord still needs to work on.  I'm also not saying that I don't miss hanging out with friends and doing all the things that I used to do during the summertime, but this is just different.  Its something that I want to exerience more often.  I want this summer to set the pace for spiritual growth throughout my whole life.  For example, I really want to read through the entire Bible, and that was a promise I made to myself on my 20th birthday was that I would, so I started then.  Even though I read most days, I didn't read all that much and I was only in Numbers when I came out here.  Now, after just two weeks here, I've doubled what I read in the first 5 months, and I'm in 2nd Samuel.  Again, I'm not trying to brag at all, I am just really excited to share my progress with everyone who reads this.

I really like it out here, and beyond the spiritual growth that I am experiencing, I really enjoy my job as the video person.  There are a lot of videos I need to make in the next few weeks and it would be easy to get stressed, but I know God will help me get done what I need to.

Sorry this was a lot to read, I'll read it later in life and be glad I wrote it then. 

I guess thats all for now, if you need me...I'll probably be at camp.

In the summer time...

I finished school, and well.  I got four A's and one cursed B.  That still puts my GPA high enough to be proud.  I must say that overall I really had a good experience at Hastings CCC this year, and I'm glad that this is where I am going to school. Kommunity Kolleje has tot mee a lot. 

So another school year has ended, and another summer vacation has arrived.  Unfortunately, this will most likely be my last summer vacation, because after next year I will be done with school and I will have to face the real world in which people work year round and never get a vacation.

Life stinks.  Well not really.

This summer should be great.  God has given me a great opportunity to work at Covenant Cedars as the media person, and I will be able to collect more experience and add yet another video job to my resume.  I'll be pretty busy out there, and I'll be working 6 days per week.  But thats okay, because I'm sure that I'll enjoy the job.  Who knows, I might even get slightly tan.

I am looking forward to Cornerstone and the Cornhusker State games this summer.  But I fear that gas prices may convince me to miss out on Cornerstone, but who knows.  As for the cornhusker state games, it will be my first time competing in wrestling since high school, and I'll be ready to go out and own some fools.  I believe in myself.

Last but not least, I am really looking forward to the relationship I am already in...if that makes sense.  I really hope that it is God's will for it to last, but I am but a man, a simple man, so therefore I would be foolish to try to predict the great plans that God has for my life.  But I'm really thankful for every day that God has given me to date this girl so far, it is really a blessing and brings me great happiness.  I'm a lucky guy.
