I guess I’m just feeling good (except I’ve got a headache) so I’m blogging. I guess I just want to say thank you to the youth group in general and specifically. Most summers kind of suck. You sit around and wake up at 2 and don’t do much unless your mom decides to sign you up for some summer camp (maybe these are just my summers). Anyway I’ve got a good feeling about this summer. I don’t think I’m going to be spending a lot of time being really bored because the youth group is so tight. I’m not just saying thank you for being my friends (although it may sound like that). The more I think about our group, the more I’m startled by how different we are. Different ages, different interests, different social groups, but every time we meet we put that aside and we’re just one big, giant, super-cohesive group. Even for me, who’s on his way out, so to speak, it’s amazing that even though I’ve been part of this group for three years, I’m still meeting new people, and becoming with friends with people who I know I wouldn’t if it wasn’t for the youth group. This isn’t about one person in particular, but just about how glad I am that I go to a church where a group like this happens to meet every week. We have our issues and our drama like every other group, like every one else, but in the big picture, that stuff doesn’t really seem to matter.

Anyway, this mission trip, and this summer are about to be crazy. The title of this post doesn’t have anything to do with this post, it’s just that no one reads the blog anymore.
