Camp Week

Despite my last post, things are going quite well. And as much as a minor rejections (and this one was minor) aren't fun, I would rather have those moments and have someone that peaks my interest enough to go after. It does my heart some good. I have debated whether I should delete the post, but I think I will look at it later and laugh. Sometimes it is good to let your emotions go with no censorship. And it did allow me to calm down and sleep.

Cool things: Last night I took Ashley to see Nickel Creek and Glen Phillips (formerly of Toad the Wet Sprocket, and an amazing song writer) in Paducah. The show was incredible, and Chris Thile brought a whole new level to mandolin playing. Glen and Nickel Creek also did several songs together. It was one of the best concerts I have been to.

This week is my first summer camp with my Parkway youth group. Ashley, Tara, and Elizabeth are going, so I'm looking forward to spending some good time with them. I love church camp and I missed out on it last year. I'm excited.

I will post some South Dakota pictures when I get back. Also, here is the mp3 of the parody I did of Renegade by Styx. It's called Wiinegade. In our skit we gave Zaccheus the VeggieTales treatment and made him obssessed with the Nintendo Wii. The song is deliciously bad. I will post that as well.

Order of the Phoenix is again a very well made Harry Potter movie. I am looking forward to the book.

I am preaching a lesson on singleness for a summer sermon series on the family and a church near here. If you missed it, here and here is what I wrote about it last year. I will be using some from that, and Lauren Winner did a book called Real Sex: The Naked Truth about Chastity. She is an outstanding author.

So that is what is going on with me. Have a good week and while I am enjoying camp.
