The time has come.

I am leaving for camp in 13 hours.  I am literally going insane.  I don't think I am going to sleep a minute tonight.  I hardly slept last night.
We have to leaver late this year because some hurricane named Irene thought it would be cool to come up this way.  I just think all these hurricanes want to come to camp because they've heard how amazing it is.  It's true, If I were a hurricane I would totally come. Everyone was swishing for another hurricane this year, and we got it.  At the other end of camp.  Good job everyone. I have been to camp during 3 different hurricanes.  Katrina, Earl and Irene.
Being at camp during Katrina was really hard and crazy.  Every night the minister would bring in news about what was happening but we couldn't see what was actually happening.  I didn't see the devastation until I came back.   We were completely cut off.  We knew that the gulf coast of the US was devastated and lots of people had died but we were still at camp and were having fun.  It was really odd. We prayed a lot. The weather was really bad I remember that, it rained almost everyday.
One good thing about leaving for camp 5 hours later is that we can kind of sleep in and, we're not leaving at 5 in the morning.  Crazyness.
I need to get this show on the road.  Camp is tomorrow!
I am pretty sure that this is going to be my last post for this week, so no blogging while I am away.  I might write tomorrow but I don't think I will.
Here's my favourite picture from camp last year.  And this is my post about camp from last year.

I am up to early on a Saturday, I am just so excited for camp.  I'm starting to pack.   YAY!
Then Dirt road anthem came on, perfect.
I don't particularly like country music, at all but I can with stand this song.  And Keith Urban and the song Convoy.  I love that song.
And because I like all you guys so much I am actually going to put the music video up.( And I also like using and at the beginnings of sentences.)  Jason Aldean is kind of creepy looking.



Now Honeybee is on, is some one reading our list of gang songs?

I met my roommate last night, and saw our room, and some of our residence.  I think this is going to  be a good year!  :D

I wanted to share this link my friend Jenn shared on Facebook,  it's a letter Jack Layton wrote and it's incredibly moving.  I cried.

Jack

Jack Layton died this morning.   We all knew he was doing bad, when he resigned he looked and sounded worse than I had ever seen him, but...I never expected this.  A lot of Canadian's went into the election disliking the NDP, but Jack won us over(as you can see I am in this group)  He possibly single handed won all of the seats in Quebec.  Even if you didn't like his politics, you had to respect him.  He was just a great guy, come one we never call politicians by there first names, but Jack Layton, we did.
Now we have a NDP opposition and the whole reason that it's there is gone.

On a side note in 7 days camp will have started.

The waiting is killing me

This summer went way too fast, way too fast.  I think it was because I ended school so late,( June 28th.) and am so excited for camp.  I have never been this excited for camp before, I have always dreaded it.  Last year on the afternoon before camp started I wasn't even sure if I was going to go, but I did, and now I am so excited.  I'm so excited to start university, I've worked so hard to get to this point and now here it is.  I'm worried about it though, I'm getting back late on Saturday, the day I move into residence and everyone knows how hard and intense university is.  I am going to work harder than I ever had before, and  that scares me.  My finances still aren't figured out and that is driving me crazy.
I have a week and a couple days before I go away, I'm trying to make the most of it, reading, staying up late, sleeping in.
I am over the moon excited for camp, but the thing abut going to camp the last week of the summer is, your last week of summer is gone.  And you spend your whole summer waiting for the last week and wishing it to come sooner, but then you get back and you have 2 days to recoup and then you have to enter the real world again.  I don't even get 2 day, I get like 2 minutes.

God and Rap Core

This video is amazing.  I've never listened to Korn, I'm not really into rap core.  But I've always know of then, then I found out the guy from Korn became a Christian.  Still don't listen to Korn.  He's kind of scary, really.  And I'm saying this.  It seems so weird hearing what he's saying but It's amazing.  Scroll down if he's disturbing you, I will not hold it against you and I doubt he would either.
God is so amazing. So many people just don't get that.



Go look up I am Second, you will not be disappointed.
Hearing Michael W. Smith talk about doing drugs is extremely weird.  He's Michael W. Smith, biggest Christian artist of all time, him Steven Curtis Chapman and Amy Grant are Christian music.  He came from doing all these drugs to doing that, amazing.  No, God is Amazing.

Honestly Steven Baldwin freaked me out more, I have a phobia of Baldwins.
