Awesome Stories

Just as a last thought before I go to camp, everyone should also read anything by Francis Schaeffer. If you haven't yet, you're missing out on an incredible experience. Please, go and treat yourself to one of his books, you won't be sorry.
Best books of his to read:
The God Who is There
He Is There And He Is Not Silent
Escape From Reason
How Should We Then Live?
Another thing: Check out this blog. The administrator has a really cool story going on, everyone should read it.
Gotta go, lots of stuff to get done before we leave at 5:00 tomorrow!

More Comings and Goings...

This is a post to dispell the rumor that, quote, I've moved into the 'No Posting Zone'. I'm still posting, I really am, I've got some great stuff for all of you to read, I just don't have time at this exact moment to put it all up on the blog.
Actually, I'll be gone for a month, attending a 'Festival' (more like a camp) for Christian students in the arts (Orchestra, Dance, Opera and Theatre). I'll be doing the theatre program, which I also did back in 2003. It was a lot of fun, and this time my brother's coming along. Actually, this time around, I'm a bit late on getting monologues and songs ready, I went into somewhat of a panic a couple days ago, and rushed all over town trying to find sheet music to a certain song (which I'll tell you, was exceedingly hard for what was supposed to be a simple arrend!), and memorize two monologues. All that to say, I still have two monologues to perfect, and we start performing them on Monday. Hopefully I'll have them completed and ready to perform by then! Your prayers are appreciated. I'll keep you posted about my time there.
Anyway, I don't have much more to say. If you have something to say, by all means, post it below. Otherwise, I leave you with two thoughts. The first is, everyone should go out and buy Coldplay's X & Y. It's really cool. The second is a quote:

"Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination."
Oscar Wilde

As a finishing thought, this is a thought that should drive us all to push beyond our means and live in the realm of risk. It's also the realm of faith, where the best of things happen if we take that first step.
