Transitions

Camp is done now, and life is returning to normal.

I had an amazing time at Grace this summer, and after being asked to sum up my experiences in a sentence more than once, I offer this very inadequate summary:

I learned and stood in awe of how much God can do while using imperfect tools such as myself.

After camp, David, Patrick, Mr. Mann, and I went to a Tigers game. The Tigers continued their losing streak with me in the stands, but it's just awesome being in Comerica Park with the Tigers doing as well as they are this year. Mike, Dr. Harriman, Patrick, and I are going to a game this Friday. Hopefully the Tigers will prove once and for all that I am not a jinx at professional sporting events.

Later in the week of the Tigers game, I went to Unity. I got to see some awesome concerts (Aaron Shust, Chris Tomlin, TFK [they were alright], Casting Pearls [not so bad], Newsboys, Tears for Juliet, Matthew West, Superchick, and Steven Curtis Chapman.

It was a pretty good weekend. I hope that next year they get David Crowder Band and/or Sanctus Real. That would be awesome.

In the meantime, I picked up most of my books for classes that start... tomorrow.
Yeah, school's already starting and summer doesn't feel over yet. It hasn't all hit me.

Despite my denial, I do realize summer will be ending in a few short hours, so yesterday I got in one last day at Grace for the summer. I helped out as they hosted a large group from Grace Bible College. I got to work the ropes course and see some pretty awesome blobs from the Blob tower.

I left Grace a little early, in order to make it to Middle School Mania last night by 5:30. My plans were thwarted by my first major car accident. I stopped at a stop sign, looked left, looked right (possibly for too long) and started to go, not noticing a car RIGHT at the intersection I was turning into. My car was badly damaged, but miraculously driveable. The other car was totalled. It was kind of a bummer, but luckily no one got hurt. It only delayed me 1hr and a half.

Middle School Mania with its medieval(sp?) theme seemed to be a hit. Whipped Cream fun was had by all.

Now, I must go and track down my new parking permit for the school year that I seem to have misplaced.

Peace.
