I'm Back!

Hey ya'll!
I have not been updating my blog because of several reasons, the most prominant being that I have been at New Life Camp over the past week.
The theme for the week was upside down.
Our perspectives, our motives, our thoughts are all upside down.
The theme verse for the week was Isaiah 29:16.
"You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, "He did not make me"? Can the pot say of the potter, "He knows nothing"?"
I'm really tired right now, but I'll post more later.
Before I go, however, I will let you in on some things.

Every year we have a Big Game between the Campers and Staff.
Last year the Campers won, putting the record at 5 - 4 Campers.
This year I made the team(a first) and Camper won 70 - 53!
Now the record is 6 - 4 Campers!
The largest margin of victory ever in a Big Game.

Also this past week over Tuesday/Wednesday there were a series of letters and notes and clues which pointed to an individual known as the Insider.
This Insider was there to teach a lesson, obviously, but we were absorbed with figuring out who this mysterious individual was.
It ended up being who my cabin thought it was.
w00t!
The next day(Thursday) we found a note left by the bathroom from a certain Skywalker.
We wondered if this was a continuation of the Insider, but when Aaron Miller, the Camp Activities Director started asking strange questions to seemingly inoquous people, we knew this was no planned thing.
I got in on this when Skywalker and his accomplice Qui-Gon asked me to deliver two notes to Aaron, claiming that I had found them.
Now that I knew the identities of the two mysterious persons I decided to start my own ruse.
While letting them have the main glory I started leaving notes for Aaron from the Accomplice, an Accomplice of Skywalker and Qui-Gon.
I tried to keep their identities secret, which I did, and Aaron did not figure out who the Accomplice was until after camp was officially over.
An interesting occurence occurred when Skywalker came up to me with the last Accomplice note during swim time wondering why I wrote it.
I had not let them in on this.
So I framed myself.
I claimed that I have been framed and someone was trying to play a prank on Aaron, Skywalker, Qui-Gon, and me!
Of course this was not true, but it worked.
Skywalker kept the note until it was revealed that I was the Accomplice and he gave the note to Aaron, who did not know yet.
Unfortunately, once Aaron had the note he came straight to me and gave the note back saying "Hey Austin, you lost something."
Don't try to put one past Aaron.

Of course, Skywalker and Qui-Gon's ruse was much better and put together, but I had fun too.

In Christ,

Gym and the News

I'm at the gym right now, posting off of the complimentary computers.
It's very nice.
About 15 minutes ago I got out of a weight training class, and I was thinking.
When I started to tire out, a simple solution such as correct breathing was suggested.
Simply by breathing correctly, I was able to continue on in the class instead of quitting prematurely.
So just remember that when you are in a situation where you think you should quit, just do a simple thing like breathing a little.
Say a prayer.
Blog a bit.
Let it all out.

I'm watching the news right now as well, and I'm disgusted by the interviews.
All the questions are leading, all the statements are weighted in a different manner then what they should be.
I realize that bias is a fact of life, but nevertheless, they don't seem to make an effort at all.
This is why I like www.theculturalreport.com
Check it out.

In Christ,
