Summer Closing

So I just realized that I haven't written in like a month, mainly because I had this weird idea that I had to somehow be deeply theological in my posts even though nobody reads them, and since I haven't had any time to be deeply theological lately I didn't get a chance to write simply because I've been at another week of camp and then a week of CIY in the middle of doing lessons at Church and going home on some of the weekends. 

However it really doesn't seem like it is time for me to be getting ready to go back to school. I have had an awesome summer and on one hand I think I have accomplished more this summer than ever before but on the other I'm not sure I accomplished anything. I mean yeah I spent the summer working, teaching, going on trips and stuff, and I have learned a lot, but did I really leave a mark? I just have to wonder if I did God's will by simply coming up here for a couple months to gather experience for myself, rather than getting involved in a group of students I already knew to help make a bigger difference for God rather than myself. That and it was hard at points this summer being up here with no past connections and knowing all of my friends were back home enjoying being around each other and stuff like that, all though that is a jealous thought that is about serving myself rather than God. And all that free time gave me the opportunity to read many books like, "I am America and so can You" by Stephen Colbert, "Vintage Jesus" and "Radical Reformission" by Mark Driscoll, "I am not but I know I AM" by Louie Giglio, "Finding our Way Again" by Brian McLaren, and "Searching for God Knows What" by Donald Miller. Those are all fairly decent books by the way if you are ever interested in reading some of them. So maybe it was the right decision to do this internship my first summer of college but I don't know. 

Oh well, its over and almost done with now so it doesn't really matter and even if I didn't make a big difference I got plenty of experience dealing with people and relating to students. I am excited to go back to school though. This year is going to be amazing and I can't wait to be back and seeing all of my friends and getting kicked out of Target and really stupid stuff like that. It should be a good time. All though it does suck that I barely got to hang out with my old high school friends this summer. They all should just go to Johnson, because Johnson is awesome. And definitely the cheapest which works. And Johnson gives even more money to people who have come from the same home church. Right. Anyway. 

Oh and I have to say that Dark Knight was freaking amazing and I don't care if I'm a nerd for loving it as much as I did but I mean I just didn't want that movie to end. Freaking amazing!!!!!!
Yeah, anyways thats all I got right now. Maybe next time I'll gather my thoughts together for some great crazy theological thought for the grand total of like 2 people who will actually log in and read my crap. Talk to you all later.
