Sleep deprivation...
I know it's my own fault that I'm not getting sleep. I've had about 7 hours this weekend, and plan on going to bed soon. I've realized that sleep is a very precious privilege. And a valuable tool.
Yesterday evening our volleyball team lost in the playoffs, ending their season, so now all the focus is on the soccer team. I didn't go to the game, but I hear the matches were all close.
Last night I watched a couple of movies with friends: Ten Things I Hate About You followed by Boondock Saints. I had seen both movies before, but still enjoyed them. Two very different movies, with very different messages.
I enjoyed church this morning, Pastor Steve preached about living two lives, social and religious, and it really made me think about how I do that. Even when my church is on my college campus, I still live a different lifestyle when I am with different sets of friends. That's not how I want to be, I want to be honest to all of them, not put on a mask for one group then switch masks when I see the others coming. Why is it so hard for me to just be honest about myself?
Calvin Crest Apps: 2 days. .:dun dun dun:. (as Kendra put it), I was praying about it and talking to friends who know me well, and pondering it some more, and I really think that the reasons I didn't want to be a Squire at the end of last summer were illegitimate and selfish. When I think about what God has gifted me with and how that can be used for the benefit of the camp, I think that Sherwood Squire should be on my application. Right now, I don't know where on the application it will be, but I will not tell Tony that I do not want to be one because I would very much enjoy it, and grow through it, and it is something that I want to do. Just maybe not my first choice, we'll see.
