This Post Is About This Summer

So, here I sit in Singers Glen, VA at my brother and sister-in-law's abode, thinking about what I am doing.  The truth is, I am not doing much at the moment, just listening to Phinehas' new single, Fleshkiller (free download if you join their mailing list, do it) and writing this blog.  I recently checked out Donald Miller's blog about the most viral videos of the week, and it was pretty funny.  So here I sat with not much else to do, so I figured I would update this since I believe it has been a month or two since my last update.
Here is what is going on now and what will be going on in a week.  Right now I am living at my brother and sister-in-law's house working at Red Front (the local grocery store) until the 23rd of May.  That is this coming Thursday, in case you didn't know.  Then I am headed off to the beautiful Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp to work for the next couple of months.  I actually don't plan on working there, I will just do a bunch of hiking, running, and disc golf.  That is a lie, I will actually work.  I was out there two summers ago as a counselor and am heading back this year as the summer program director, which is a very new step for me.  I haven't really had a whole lot of experience in leadership stuff, but I now that it will be a very beneficial time for me.  Admittedly, I am quite nervous for the responsibility I will have, but it is exciting as well.  I have spent a couple mornings sitting with this nice view -

- doing a little bit of planning for some games and stuff.  I do need to get back on that, of course.  I will try and update this semi-regularly when I am there, and also plan on trying out that video-a-day thing again while I am there to document some of the awesomeness.  I kind of stopped doing it after the one month extravaganza that I had earlier this year. So we shall see.
I am also watching a lot of hockey, which is stinking sweet.  I am Octopi-ing Hockeytown with Gustav Nyquist currently.  LGRW.  Unfortunately, I honestly do not have too much faith in them getting through this round with the Blackhawks, hopefully they will, though.  Also, the playoff beard is coming along quite nicely, I must say.  Haha, joke.

Anyway, I am enjoying my bit of free time at the beginning of summer reading books, hanging out with Kendra, and not doing much.  My goal was to run a lot, but out here it isn't very safe to run which means that I need to drive into town to the college and run there, which takes a lot more time and effort than I would like, so I have only run a couple times since school has been out.  Shucks.
Anyway, that is my life, I guess.  For what it is worth.
In other news, one of my friends is hanging out in Uganda doing some work at an orphanage there with a ton of kids.  It's definitely a good fit for her and I am glad she is following God and His calling for her.  She just got there a couple days ago and is getting adjusted and stuff, but it is good stuff.  I look up to people who can follow God's calling like that, and I pray that I can do the same, and that I can put in the time required for me to be able to follow God's call.
I love people, and you are people, so I love you.  Unless you are a really smart dog or a dolphin or something, then I may still love you.  On that note, I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which was amazingly strange.  Dolphins are nuts.

Here is a fun gif about a fun soccer game, I think.

And this is what happens when you photoshop a motorcycle out of something.  Haha.
