Don’t Blink

Two Relient K posts in a row?  Yep, here it comes.  Their new album Collapsible Lung came out this week.  Long gone are the punk days for Relient K, but I still think they produce quality music (although Derek Leek disagrees with me).  I’ve tried to encourage him to embrace change, but he just isn’t willing.  The first track on the CD is called Don’t Blink.  When I saw them live a couple months ago, they played it and I knew I would like it when the CD came out.  Currently it is my favorite track on the CD.

A Little Out of the Ordinary

In just over four days, I will be a married man.  I’ve known this day was coming for a while now (shocking I know), but this week it has become real to me.  Not a scared or nervous real, but just real.  Planning a wedding is an interesting process.  A special thanks to Google and TheKnot.com for helping us do it without a wedding planner haha.  It has had its ups and downs, but there has been one thing we have heard a lot throughout the process.  There has been a phrase that has been said many times by many people, “It’s not my wedding…” [Read more…] about A Little Out of the Ordinary

Just A Normal Day At Camp

Today when I got to work I had a lot of things on my mind.  We are really short staffed this week and it has been hectic.  At some point during the day I was supposed to get a call from a mom who had some concerns.  It was starting to rain and weather reports were saying it would stay that way all day, so I had to start coming up with a plan for what to do if that happened.  It wasn’t shaping up to be an ideal morning.

Following Our Founding Fathers

I received a text yesterday that said, “I know the Bible says that we are free from sin, but sometimes I wonder.  I think I am incapable of resisting *insert sin here*.”  The Bible verse they are referencing is John 8:31-32,36, “Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. 32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.  36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”  Jesus died on the cross to set us free from our sins, so those that follow Him are free from that bondage.  Yet sin is a constant struggle in our lives.
