Just some stale thoughts

I've been thinking (scary, right?). Thinking about lots of things. Here are a few.
Plums are really delicious. The world is a tortured place, it's really screwed up. If I had my way, there wouldn't be school unless you wanted to go, and you could hang out with whoever you wanted whenever you wanted. Camp would be year round, even in the snow. Everyone would be carefree, why would you need to be stressed? What matters in life are the people you meet and interact with, not what you do or things you have. Friends and family are the most important things, possesions don't matter. I really don't know how anyone could see even the simplest things, such as the ocean, without believing in God. Who else could create something so beautiful, yet so dangerous? It is so massive you can hardly wrap your mind around it. It's so amazing. People care too much about things that don't matter, like money and work. Trust in God, and everything will work out in the end. The things to care about are people. People are all that matter. Spend time with the people you love, and if you can't because they live far away, write them, call them, email them, interact. I like music. It's a good way for people to express themselves. I like writing and poetry too. People pour out their souls into it, and yet so few people appreciate it. They would rather play video games and watch trashy TV shows than read a good book or write something. If you're ever bored, write. I think it's a good productive use of time. I'm not saying games and TV are bad, just too much of them is. Kind of like carrots, eating too many carrots makes your skin orange and then you throw up. It happened to my aunt when she was a kid. I like Canada. Vancouver is a beautiful place. I would like to go there again soon sometime, and take a few friends with me. It would be a fun trip. Maybe when I get a car I'll drive up there with some people at the end of summer. I miss everyone at camp a lot. It's really boring and sometimes tough to go on without you guys. You always encouraged me in tough times. Back on the subject of God, people who don't believe are stupid. Scratch that, not stupid, but misled. Just cause you're in a world of sin doesn't mean you should conform. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That's from the Bible. It's a good book. In fact, it's the good book. Jesus is the greatest friend you could ever have. Who else do you know that would be tortured and die for you just so you wouldn't be in Hell? Hell is a nasty place. Lots of people are going there. It's really sad. I used to think it was a little strange that there was some huge presence all around that created everything. Now I find it is strange that some people can believe there isn't. How many parts are in the human body? Lots. How many people do you know that think they are all put in the right places to work together like they do by accident? It's absurd. I mean, what are the chances of that? They were put there by someone, right? Who put them there? Oh yeah, there's that God thing again. He did create us and He is watching out for us, always. He is the only one who will never leave nor forsake you. He is the beginning and end, the Lion and the Lamb. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ the best thing that could ever happen to a person. Got troubles? Ask Him. Everything will be ok, just wait and listen. Things happen. I really don't want to go back to school, but I will so I can get through till next summer when I can see all those people I love and miss again. I've changed a lot over the summer. I think I have rather a lot more wisdom than I did before. I think deeper now, about things that matter. God will change you, and for the better. Everything seems so much more in tune now, more vivid and colourful. Maybe it's because I couldn't see before, but God has changed that. He works in the most amazing ways through the most amazing people you will ever meet. I learned to care more about people than anything this summer. God worked through my friends, old and new (especially new). I met so many amazing people while serving the Lord. My life seems boring at home now that you guys aren't here to make things happen, fun things and sometimes bad things. Even bad things can be good things. It doesn't matter what the moment is, it's still worth having. It's part of your life, and it helps make you who you are. Climb things just to be in a higher place. Swimming is always good, no matter what time it is. You can always laugh at something, in any situation. The forest doesn't have to be scary in the dark. If your stomach hurts, throw up. These are all things that I apparently taught someone this summer, but I think I just helped them realize it for themselves. Maybe it's the same thing once you cut down to it. I dunno. All I know is that termites taste like butter and God's word is truth. Other than that, it all can shift. Maybe you understood what I wrote, and maybe you think it's the babbling of a crazy man. Whatever it is, I hope you took something from it. I know someone will understand.
