Camp to Camp
I’m at camp, but not my camp.
I’m in the woods on a lake, but the roads are paved, and the lake is strange.
I’m with loved ones, but not the loved one.
So this camp had a lot to live up to. It had to match previous family camps and Ao-Wa-Kiya. It’s definitely not a bad place, but at Ao-Wa-Kiya, I’m used to being more in charge, more… above the law. Here I’m definitely a camper and under all the rules of a camper. Less freedom, but we can still have fun. Since I’ve been here I’ve been part of a few great volleyball games, built a raft (yes it floated), been tubing (albeit behind a pontoon boat), and stayed up talking ’till the wee hours of the morning.
I have my sights set on a car. My cousin has a ’91 Accord that he’s trying to sell. Hopefully that will work out. It’s a shame though, I may have to come all the way out to Illinois to pick it up. It’s too bad I’ll be so close to Michigan with my new car…. 😉 But I still have to wait and see if I can afford it. Here’s hopin’.
That’s it. Have fun, kids.

I miss you my dear friend, if ever I could use your Godly wisdom and direction it is now.
My world refuses to stay right side up and I fear I have been hit over the head so many times that I am in danger of losing conscienceness.
Please pray for me, God is teaching me some hard lessons, but right now I dont know what they are. All I can do is guess, pray, and hold on tight.
Also please pray for Rasa. And not what you would expect me to ask you to pray for. Please join me in praying that God gives her peace and wisdom, that he works in her, and that she finds Love even if not with Benson.
I miss you terribly my brother, I could definitely use more time with you and PJ.
But enough of my pathetic woes, how about your joys eh? I am so very happy for you and Rachel. She is a wonderful person who I am sure will make a marvelous match to you. If you keep God as your center point and primary objective than I know He will see you through.
Have a great day my brother, take care of yourself.

I would have emailed this, but I didn’t see an email address on this web site.
I made a wordpress skin based on Stevish Dream at my website, but I’d like to make one change that I haven’t been able to figure out how to make…
The skin doesn’t work well in explorer on an 800 by 600 screen. When the window gets too narrow the scrollbar is covered up. I don’t expect to be able to get rid of that problem completely, but I would like to be able to make the skin narrower so that 800 across works.
Anyway I haven’t been able to make the explorer version narrower.
Even better would be if the blog could test screen size and adjust the width depending on that.
Also that anti-comment spam extention is cool. Where do I find that?
