a race to the finish

I don't really get it when people apologize for not updating their blog on a regular basis. It's like they have offended me by having more important things to do then share their thoughts hopes and dreams with the whole world.
Seriously, I think I can handle it. Not that I don't enjoy your blog or anything, but I'll still be your friend if you only update every 6 months.

Today I am moving to camp. I am feeling incredibly excited, nervous, happy, sad, nostalgic, grown-up, unprepared, weak, strong, and most of all blessed. I need your prayer. Campfire! needs your prayers. Staff needs your prayers. Counselors need your prayers. Campers need your prayers.

Why are you still reading this?

Love,

Ryan

I just came across this article...it's brilliant. If only it were true...

trim ninjas

Today was my last day working as a trim ninja before I start officially being a staff member at camp. It's a really good feeling.

I had a really great time working for Tim, with Greg and Edmund and Scott. It was pretty sweet. My knuckles are scarred from getting rocks thrown at them, I'm alot better at comebacks thanks to Greg, and I can trim almost any bow window you can throw at me. Oh yeah, and I learned how to golf.

I'm a little bit nervous about being a staff member...it's a pretty huge responsibility. I would appreciate your prayers.

Dear Satan:

You were trying pretty hard today. Thankfully the Spirit showed me who you are in time. You just can't admit defeat can you? My Father would never tell me to do something without giving me the tools that I need to do it.

You are a filthy liar, please go back to hell where you belong.

Sincerely,

Ryan
