A Trip? Maybe. On the advice, encouragement, and connection of my great friend, Rob, I have decided to apply to a Summer Camp position in California. I'm not actually too sure that it will work out, since it appears that they already have alot of their help for this summer decided, but I'm giving it a try anyway. I had my doubts at first whether or not it was the best idea, and was concerned that I might just be running away from the difficulty and uncertainty that is my life right now...and maybe I am, but this is just too great of a chance to pass up on. Besides, I basically had to decide today whether or not I should apply since the positions are only going to get more filled by my procrastination. The chance to road trip across the country with a great friend, see The Grand Canyon, spend two months in sunny, beautiful Southern California, seeing the west coast, the Red Wood Forests, spending time playing in the great outdoors, all the while being paid more than I'd get working in the Peach business all summer is simply too good to not even try for. So, I'm faxing out the application first thing tomorrow...I pray that if this is an opportunity that God wants me to take, it will work out. As a sermon I heard last Sunday helped me to realize, we can not stand on the dock, but must jump on a ship...maybe my ship is headed to California?
In other news...our softball game tonight went exactly as we were afraid it would. New Jerusalem slaughtered us at 22-0! Despite the terrible record thus posted about our softball team, we are actually a good team but we had to play the two toughest teams in the league at the beginning of the season. That fact coupled with the hit-or-miss attendance of many key players has gotten us off to a rocky start. We have another game tomorrow (Tuesday) night against a team we are very confident against. In spite of our horrendous loss, we did enjoy the fellowship of the New J team. They are always a great team to play because of their friendly, sportsman, Christian attitudes. It is teams like them that make Church League different from any other.
