ooow, ooow, ooowie. i'm sun burnt. :(

camping was fun! i came back w/ everything(yes, i mean everything) red from the red sand/dirt of california!! i did not know that...in fl it was so much less messy, cuz the sand/dirt was beige. :P so i stayed dirty all weekend in redness.

hehe, the top of mt. diablo is quite pretty, esp. the sunset. i got to try new stuff, like making s'mores(graham crackers w/ melted chocolate and roasted melted marshmallows and hobos(kinda hard to explain) over the camp fire. the guys (and some girls) played laser tag at nite...and we also went repelling--kinda scary but fun. :) and we also worshipped and talked and laughed and slepted and everything fun.

God's creation is amazing. and we are part of it. To be "spiritual" is to be totally human, as God intends us to be. we make Him visible as His image-bearers. Thus the second Commandment makes sense not to make other/false images of God--because we are the images! Sin only distorts what is good, but creation itself can't be obliterated by sin. redemption is the renewal of our whole life and restoring that image we have. Thus we can learn to appreicate and find freedom in the goodness of God's world!~

just washed/scrubed my shoes and backpack of the redness.
