Attn:
For those of you that aren't aware, and I'm not sure that many of you aren't, I will be working at Camp Maranook this summer for the entire dang length of it. No Auburn, no Pensacola. More importantly:
-no Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
-no Batman Begins
-no secular music (yes, that means no Van Halen, Metallica, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Dream Theater, Rush, ARKITEKT[!], Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Coheed and Cambria, I should stop now because the more I write the more I'll be sad)
-no restaurants
-no coffee whenever I want!
-no Padrons, Onyxes, or Elogias for three months!
-no 24 season finale!
In any case, it will all be worth it. I'm sure of that. Andy Brink, I'm glad you're coming. I couldn't do it without you.
This past semester has been intense. But no time to talk now.
RUF Summer Conference was great. Stuart Latimer did a great job at preaching on the Bible, while Brian Habig had a great seminar on the Doctrine of the Church. I'll probably be joining Covenant Presbyterian Church in Auburn in the Fall, along with several other RUF people who were swayed. Additionally, David Wilsono's seminar on Justification was great, as well as Jason Little's seminar on Worldview. I really benefitted from all of the seminars and I couldn't have imagined that they would all fall into place and meet me where I was in life. I really came out of the week refreshed from the time.
Also, Auburn RUF won the 3on3 basketball tournaments (in which I had no part). But we also beat UT in beach volleyball, thanks to the timely arrival of Richard Vise. Our athletic campus minister boosted all of the other players' morale, and my serves became more accurate and the team came together. I'm not even kidding. I'm glad we beat UT whenever we could, because some of our Memphis members began to talk major smack to them.
This semester deserves some major reflection. Hopefully I'll get a chance at camp. Along with the reflection I also plan to do some reading. Here's the summer list:
- Biblical Theology Geerhardus Vos
- Engaging God's World Cornelius Plantinga
- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams (halfway done, very recommended)
- God's Way of Peace Horatius Bonar
- English Grammar for Students of German
I also will be getting an NASB translation (camp requirements) and I hear we go through Berkof's Summary of Christian Doctrine. Neat. If I finish Biblical Theology and Engaging God's World, I am going to treat myself to either some Herodotus or some Gibbon. Who knows.
Anyways, if you want to check up on me, take a look at facebook for my mailing address. If you don't have facebook, find someone who is my friend. Because as of 2:00PM Wednesday, 18 May:
-no cell phone
-no email
-just snail mail
I think I'm ready. Peace out you guys, love you all.
