hey again peoples.i havent been home for the last few days bc i have been at my church camp in tennesee.it wa sso awesomo and i definetly came back with a better perspective of things.i got to go play painball for the first time and i won for my team when i was playing.thas a pretty memorable first time.i got to go whitewater rafting, and i almost fell outa the raft but i stood my ground.i got to go wallcliming and the was this bell at the top of the wall that very few people ever reach at all and i reached it twice.how amazing man.i got to go to a really awesomo water park and it had this slide that would send you into the water in seconds flat.too fun to explain.there was this band there called jason morant and i urge eveyone who reads this to check them out at jasonmorant.com.they played at the camp twice everyday for 4 days straight.they were sooooo effin good.i met alot of awesomo people there that i most likely wouldnt havemet if it wasnt for this enitre thing.it was also a really BIG reality check for alot people too.i feel like i have came a little closer to jesus christ and i am not ashame to tell people about who he is now.i know alot of people who read this problly will not agree with me and i most likely have some bad comments against this one but i would rather please god them any person any day of the week.i also know that alot of my friends should have been there to hear what was being said.i will try to give a smaple of what was said tho in teh best way possible.alright.the speaker there was talking to us twice everyday for 4 days straight too.so he talked to us about alot of things.including relationships.you see, in his imagination, there is a invisible pearl neckalce that everyone is born with and it has alot of pearls on it.with a really big diamond representing our virginity.the pearls represent our first time expiriences with people.fisrt kiss-thas a pearl/first time holding hands-thas another pearl.and that we need to watch how much of our heart that we give to others bc everytime we give a pearl away to someone, thas one more piece of our heart that we cant give to the one we marry bc we have given so much of it away.we can never get these pearls back b/c u only have them once.alot of my friends have given away alot of there necklace to people and EVEN there diamond....thas one more piece of there heart that their husband or wife or true love period can never EVER have b/c temptation overcame someone and allowed them to throw it all away.this had to be one of the mostgreatest things i have ever heard in my 16 years of living bc its prooven so well with the truth,and if u dont belive in this, then even the bible says wait till marriage to give it all away.so i dare someone to actaully try me on this one.u wont win.this was just some of the stuff i heard at this camp and i wish it didnt have to end, but now that i am home, i am forced with descisions of having to let go of some friends and rethink who my true ones are.some people i have already stopped talking to b/c they refuse to change their hearts for the better and i dont want their bad examples to rub off on me.i dont htink i am better then ne one else in this world.i make enough mistakes to make people talk their trash about me too.but its when u learn from your mistakes, and make the effort to try and change urself for the better.i wish that alot of people(whos names i wll not say outa respect and courtisey to them)would have been there.i even missed the thursday show to go to this and anyone who knows me knows how crazy i went at the thursday show when they came to nbt.i dont regret miisng a show tho.i can actually care less.i am praying that people who read this entry will understand i am not out to slander ne one.i am jsut being the Dom i have always been.i always help others with their problems and my friends come to me fisrt alot when they are in some crap and want advice.and i have been doin this alot over the summer.so this is just my way of helping others in a bigger way and hoping that we can all learn to love one another instead of fighting all of the time and finding self satifaction in others pain.for those who disagrewe with me, i am sorry for you but i still have love for you and hope that one day you will understand where i am comin from.until next time, i am out.god bless.lata.
