What up from freaking Michigan! It makes me want to listen to Sufjan Stevens. Yeah, so Michigan basically sucks. But uhhh, it's kind of pretty. Yeah, I also feel like listening to Johnny Cash, which I do. Ummmm. . . I've been traveling around a lot. We did a Vacation Bible School in Decatur, IL. I had a really big class of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. Mostly girls. Like, all but two. It was crazy. But it was also really good. I posted some pictures of some of the little girls on my Moblog. So check it. Ummmm, yeah. . . well, I'm going to go. This freaking guy Eric is reading over my shoulder like a jerk. So I'm out. Leave me some love. I'll check it sometime next week.

Blessings on everyone! I've definitely been receiving my share. It's been a wonderful summer so far.

Well, I leave tomorrow. I've been spending the past few days furiously packing, and it seems to have paid off. My entire life is in boxes. Yeah, it's. . . not depressing, just weird. Who knows if I will ever be close to my family again? Friends? It is in God's hands though. He's brought me thus far, with me so faithless all the while. Can you imagine what wonderful things he will do with me if I actually submit myself? Me neither, but Habakkuk wouldn't have gotten it either, even if God had explained it to him. He just had to witness it. So I have that to look forward to.

I spent a great two hours at Paul and Barb's tonight. We prayed and had communion together and went outside to discuss astronomy and Star Wars and deep sea exploration. It was so very wonderful and intimate.

I'm very excited for the summer. I will miss many people and many things. Especially my fish (Beauregard and Torpedo, plus I have a snail), my family and friends, and my Mona. I hope everyone reading this has a wonderful summer. And to any of you who have ever shown me any amount of love: I can only say thank you. I know how hard it can be to love, and I know I am not the easiest person to love.

I am that lonely wheat, quietly ground into grain. But it's such a light and a momentary pain.

I updated the site a bit. I like yellow. And I added all those links on the side so that this summer I will have all the sites I like to read handy, if and when I am able to get online. Also, if you take a look at the Version 2.0 of this site, you may be nicely suprised. I started a moblog, where I can post pictures and videos straight from my cell phone. Perhaps this way, I can leave quick sights and such from the summer for you guys to check out. I tested it with some stuff me and Ian took today. It's pretty great.

I leave Wednesday. I'll write more before then.
