The week in review

Yet again its  been a while since my last post. This past week or so has been fairly busy with YoungLife, school, Chick-fil-a camp out, and Footloose at the high school. I've also had a couple interviews.

At the Chick-fil-a camp out I got super sunburnt. I will say it was well worth it. We made some new friends and I was able to do a lot of reading. Its fun being a part of something. A lot of the people who do the camp outs travel around and do all the openings in the area. One couple has done 96! That same couple would find me every meal and give me their left over food... I don't know why. They were one of 3 older couples to adopt Daniel, Cory, and me.

I will be working at Diamond Creek Golf Course this summer as a caddie! Hopefully I will be able to pay off my car and be able to save some before the next step in my life. I went and had a tour of the facilities on Friday. It will be the 3rd top 100 course I have worked at and been able to play!

Watching Footloose last night was awesome even though we had a slightly obstructed view. It was so fun seeing some of my guys preforming. I was having trouble differentiating the play from real life. If I ever have kids and they do anything like that I don't know what I'll do. Speaking of kids, at the intermission a little boy came up to me and said "you're really tall. How tall are you?" I told him and he said "We'll I'm suppose to be taller than you!"

One of my high school guys brought 2 friends to YoungLife on Monday and he asked them what they thought about it and they said that one thing that was said they didn't agree with. They said that they didn't like it when Lauren said that Jesus was the only living god, that all other gods are dead. This got me thinking and I talked about it with my campaigners group. The truth is that God is the only LIVING god, and because of that we are able to have a relationship with him. I looked up scriptures in the OT and NT where God says we are to put no god before him. People can have other gods or idols in their lives but these things will not bring the fulfillment of having a relationship with the one living God. They for most part are about what we can do, how we can work our way to heaven, how we can be good enough, or how we can eventually become a god ourselves, this is exhausting. Christ offers us the free gift of salvation, there is nothing we have done or can do to deserve it.

These posts have been scattered and it has taken me a while to put them up. But I kind of feel like that is how my life is right now. Graduation is in a couple weeks. Crazy. And I am proud to say I have had over 1,000 views on my blog!
