I like myself.
People are always talking about how crappy they are. That is a really unhealthy thing about Christianity, I think. people who can't get over how crappy they are long enough to let themselves change. I am glad I am not that way anymore.

Thanks, buddy. :) Yeah, I had a ton of insecurity issues in high school and college. I realized last semester that at least part of that had to do with the way I processed my faith, because I had learned to credit everything good I did to God and everything bad I did to me. And then, I even learned how to peak behind the good things I did and make up crappy motives for them. and how to magnify dumb things I said so that they proved I was a horrible person. I know so many people that spend their whole life doing that, and think that's spiritual maturity. But it's not. It's just sad.

Yeah, I got your facebook message. Did I never reply?? I thought I did. Anyhoo, that's cool, no prob. I don't know when I'll be coming home. Probably for a week or so in August. I'll have to let you know, so we can hang out.

i like you too.
yay.
did you go to bethany's wedding??

[jenwhits]

Yay!
Nope, didn't make it to the wedding. It was today, wasn't it? It's dumb, I probably could have gone with no problem, since we just sent off our last campers and did almost nothing today. Dang.
I bet it was beautiful though.
