I just want to say that I know I haven't been on top of things as well as I should be, or could be. My days are so jammed packed, that the only time I get more than ten minutes to do anything is at night. And by then I'm so tired, all I want to do is write a few quick notes before crashing. They really mean INTENSIVE when they call it "intensive training."
I'm keeping track (minus small group weekend) of what we're doing everyday, on a word document. But how often I update might go down. But it may go up, now that Perspectives is over.
Small group weekend was just what I needed, and I'm excited for everything else they have for us. Pictures and whatnot WILL be posted SOON, I promise. I just don't know how soon.
But thanks for reading, and keeping up with my summer.
=)
I love you all!

Fully Human
Being fully human is our job. Thinking and laughing and arranging and creating and relating and designing and nurturing and responding and reacting a pondering when googling became a verb and wondering and exploring and meditating and acting and making long lists of verbs and calling and talking and feeling and sharing and doubting if this paragraph is ever going to end and teaching and learning and jumping on a trampoline and sighing and celebrating and dancing and turning to the person next to you and saying: "This is living.”
I'm only human
Being human isn’t a bad thing; it’s a good thing. It’s what God intended. How could we be anything else?
The issue, then, isn’t trying to escape our humanity in order to morph into something, or somebody, else. The problem is all of the things that get in the way of being fully human. When a person says, “I’m only human,” perhaps what they mean is, “I have this habit of making choices that inhibit my being fully human.” This is a primal struggle in al of us, and it goes all the way back to the garden of Eden. The temptation was, and is, to trade our full humanity for something else.
