But I digress. Wait. No I don't. I didn't even have a topic to digress from.
Clearly I'm tired.
I've been at camp for about 1.5 weeks now. Only 7 more to go. Wow. It doesn't seem quite as long when you think of it that way. Don't get me wrong. I love camp. But it always seems to drag on. Especially the first half of it. This is now my 7th summer down here on staff at Goshen. I'm the Assistant Camp Director here at the lovely Camp PMI. It's been a good run, and I'm glad for my time here. And while I sometimes wish I was with people from school or what have you, I never regret my summers here.
This will probably be my last summer at camp too. That's the worst. Actually hoping that by next year I won't be working here. And not because I don't want to, but because if I am it means that I probably won't have a job. I don't think I could enjoy camp knowing that I was only there because I was a failure of a college graduate. Yes, I know not having a job right out of college doesn't mean I'd be a failure, but I would feel that way about it.
And as I'm updating you on my life, and since I don't know exactly how long it's been since I've updated this particular blog, I'm back at Mount St. Mary's University. I only spent a semester at Wittenberg, then I went right back to the Mount. That was my sophomore year, and now I've just finished my junior year there.
And one more thing. I'm a Catholic now. Yup. Mr. Lutheran is now a Catholic. It was the hardest decision I've ever had to make. I prayed more than I ever have before. And that's part of what led me to finally make the decision. My relationship with God has become so much more real to me since the whole process started. It grew in leaps and bounds before receiving the Sacraments, and it has been growing since as well. My prayer life was virtually non-existent before; I only prayed when I needed something from God. That isn't what a true believer does. That's what a cultural believer does. And I don't necessarily like using the term "true believer" because that implies that the cultural believer doesn't believe in God, and that's not true at all. But a "true believer" relies on God during the good times, along with the bad.
And now I'm rambling on, and I've really got nothing else to say. So goodnight.
I leave you with a saying that is far more profound than it was ever intended to be, "Do good and avoid evil."
