So today I feel like writing. Too bad Greg is never going to read this, haha.

I miss my family so much this year it aches sometimes. Maybe its because I was gone all summer sleeping in a scary tent where scary racoons walk around right by my head, or maybe their just amazing people. Even more amazing than when I lived with them.

I think my family's increased amazingness can be pinned on one event in our lives. We were part of a disgusting church split last fall. The splitting has been the only disgusting part, though. Our new church has been such an amazing blessing on our family. I am just seeing my parent and little sister thriving in the new environment, where God's love really is central.

Right now I am attending two baby churches that are only a year old. My home church and the amazing Life Church that I attend when I am here at school. Its so fun to experience it twice, because the exact same things are happening in both places. Its all fresh and new things are happening so fast that it makes me excited. But I'm scared of these churches developing out of these baby stages because its been so good. But how do you keep it fresh? How do you keep it focused on God's kingdom instead of stupid, petty things that necessitated a new church in the first place?
