"Sin is not who you are; it is who you are not."
Thanks for that quote, Alan. Actually, no. Thanks for that quote, Alan's priest. Haha.
So, I just got back from Discovery Camp. I'm oh so very tired. There were 128 participants. It flew by so quickly, unfortunately.
Random notes:
-It was pretty awkward blessing the rooms with Tito Art.
-I thoroughly enjoyed Chris and Alan's performance to random Tribe songs.
-'Odigwe, Eee-Keh.' LOL.
-66, 66, 66, 66, 66, 66, 66, 66, 66...... 67.
-Christian horse. Hahahaha at Carlo and Joe.
-The Apple tree joke
-fly blood splattering on my forehead
-OD gayness. To those that may have been offended by our actions, I would like to forward an apology from myself and Fune haha.
-OJ with pulp > OJ with no pulp. I'm sorry for shunning you all of my life, pulp. Kiesha, thanks for showing me the light.
-No matter what anyone says, my grape-cleaning method was pretty much genius.
-I need to see my vacuum/tango pics.
-The drove back home sucked. There was an accident on 795 and delayed us about 30 minutes. To add to that, I was already dozing off at the wheel since Lab and Ike were being bammas and got knocked out EARLY. Hahaha.
-I was so sleepy that when I dropped those two off, I went to St. Columba to take a nap. 'Lo and behold, there were people there that just arrived. Of course, I parked next to my honey, Kiesha. I was knocked out there for about two hours. I don't even know when she or anyone else left. Jerks! Can't even wake me up haha.
-Mike and Aileen did a really great and inspiring job with their talk. I'm honored to have prayed ya'll over. It's like praying over a nun and a priest who somehow got married haha. So much pressure! But yeah, their story/stories were very touching. Listen to them, kids!
-Faye: 'Ellison hates life.' Kiesha, stop laughing at that.
-The breakfast on Sunday was soooooo good. I freakin' love croissants and that pastry thing they had. I don't know what it was called, but the closest thing I can think of is a strudel. Whoever picked out that flavor needs to get a pat on the bac... butt.
-I wish I could've had better sleep though. Freakin' Labson didn't bring his own blanket, so I had to give him mine. AND, he hogged the bed. I ended up sleeping on the floor next to the bed on both nights. Thanks for nothing haha. On Friday night, I woke up at 5 and couldn't go back to sleep because it was so cold, so I just sat down and curled myself up in a ball next to the TV stand. Then, on Saturday night, I woke up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep again from freezing. So, I was like bump it, let me just go and sleep in the closet. It was amazing. No breeze at all. I mean it was still really really cold, but at least I wasn't exposed like Friday night. My sleeping outfits were ridiculous though. Now I know why homeless people just got on random ass stuff cuz they're just trying to stay warm like I was... plus the other obvious reasons of course.
Honoring:
Alan - That final worship was money. Every word really hit me. Great job on your joke delivery. I wish Krista was there to take notes. I'm just kidding. I love you, CP!
Faye - You always had a smile on your face no matter what was going on. I honor you for that. Great job co-leading!
Kieshandriatista - Thank you for putting up with all of my jokes. Actually, no. You better take all my jokes! It's up to you though if you want me to hate you with a passion or if you want me to wife you. I hope I burned your mind with the vision of me doing the SHAQ silhouette in my sleep.
Jamie F. - Hey, counterpart! I hope ya'll have a safe flight today/tonight! Thanks for reminding me what a camp servant does. I was like do we reaaaaally have to wake them up? Way to keep the road on the show.
Nate S. - Yo, you did a hell of a job working with the music ministry. They were real legit and a cohesive unit.
Francesca E. - I didn't see you a lot during the camp. When I did, you were either eating or taking a stealthy picture of me with your brothers haha. Good job with the art workshop. Your camera is crazy clear haha. $500?
Carlo F. - It was great seeing you again, son. Sorry I couldn't pick ya'll up though. Thanks for doing the talk haha. Oh yeah, 21! Not 18, haha.
Mariel - Hey, I barely saw you also. I just know that your charades team dominated the competition. My favorite was 'The Grudge' scene. Your workshop group took my favorite picture with the good and even on either side.
Fune - I really felt your sharing, man. Had me crying and ish. Thank God I was in the back hidden from plain view haha. That was one of the most passionate sharings I've ever heard. It was like you never left.
Charisse - Speaking of passionate, your talk was also passionate. Good job with being nervous for no reason. Oh yeah, 10 9 8 was a trip. FYI, it gets GREAT gas mileage.
Julian - To be honest, I forget what you did haha. I just know we were laughing our asses off for the most part. I was lovin' the white socks and flip-flops though.
Nikki - Great job with the dance workshop! That was really good for 1 hour to learn and practice. Oh yeah, it's okay... everyone likes chicken.
Mymy - Just like Julian, I forget what you did. With that said, ya'll should get married. I'm kidding. You were a DGL though, I think. Good job with that.
Felix - Thanks for putting up with my constant nagging about where your group was eating. Good job leading them, man. They seemed to really be attached when the weekend was done.
Mikko - I just learned that you were asked to share real last minute. I never would've guessed. Your share was really great man. I pray for you and your perfect moments with your family, dude.
Christina - Your sharing was great as well. I was rollin' when I heard the Jersey accent come out. I was like daaaaaaaaaamn! She got it bad haha. Oh, and great job representing the Holy Spirit in the dance.
Joe - I award you the award for being the best dancer and actor ever. Extra graaaaaaaaaaaaavy.
Music Min.
-Matt - I'm disappointed in the way that you played. Horrible! Come see me, son!
-Lab - Yo, your speed on the drums was finally on point. I can't complain man. Good job. No, great job.
-Aya - Your two solos were really good. Don't ever try to dance like a robot again though... or whatever ya'll were doing in the back of the room on Sunday.
-Mark - My man is sick on the keys. Good job with your share and your group.
-Patrick - I'm glad I finally met you and got to serve with you. I heard nothing but great things from the MD cats, and they weren't lying. Funny dude, funny dude. I loved your murder theory for Mark haha.
Did I forget anyone?
Anyway, it was an unforgettable weekend that will always have a special place in my heart.
Like Alan said, a week from now, I'll be saying, 'Damn there was really 128 people there. Amazing.' A couple of months from now, somebody is gonna ask me about it and I'll be like, 'Yeah, there was definitely 300 kids there. It was a crazy, tiring weekend.' A year or two from now, I'll just remember that God's love and grace was all around that place and inside every person... which is the most important thing to remember.
