I'm alive!

I am alive. I've actually been at church camp for the last week-not lying dead somewhere-thanks to those who wondered. I had a great time at camp that I think will be burnt into my mind for some time. It was definitely a dynamic experience, from being in charge of a cabin of twelve 10,11, and 12 year-olds, eating, cleaning and playing with them to the more serious moments of religious discussion. It's really brought me to a new understanding over the years of faith and religion when you have to explain it to someone else, the theory, your experience and your understanding. It makes me define more clearly in my mind the things I like and even the stuff I wish I could change, but none of which I discuss with the campers-the basics were fine. I also met some very awesome new friends and was able to even expand existing relationships, which I am extremely excited about. I guess it really made me put in perspective what christianity is all about, what my denomination is about, and where I stand in both. Finally it reminds me what I don't like about both.
