Chapel tonight.
Okay, so tonight we had a communion chapel.. they're always really good. while there, i got to thinking about my spiritual life.. lately i've been doing a terrible job at doing the things i need to, and that got me thinking about all the kids i've had as campers.. it got me thinking.. and i can think of like, 5 cases just recently (via the internet) where campers have come to me with things. I've given them advice and passages that would help them with their problems. while examining myself in these situations, i'm thinking holy crap.. do as i say not as i do. cause looking at myself (over this past week especially) i've been a wretched example to what a Christian should be. Those kids deserve the best and come to me for help, but when i need help i just shrug it off and try and go it alone. bah, who am I???

Well. I mean, what about just being an example of a human being. Human beings are inherently imperfect, and I think you're only trying Jordan. That's all you can really expect of yourself. You're a pretty great person and I'm sure those kids knew that too. I think there is a valuable lesson to be learned from your actions of not going to other people for help. It shows others to think for themselves and to search for answers within themselves and grow as individuals. Too many people rely on outside sources to guide their lives these days. I think your outside examples of your actions are a good thing, Jordan. ;) Just to let you know. You're also teaching these kids by them seeing your faults that people are not perfect. Even the people they expect to be perfect. We begin to learn this growing up. It happens.
