Fiddle Faddle
I don't really think of myself as a good person. I think of myself as a person who tries to be / do good. I also don't think I'm the most religious and / or spiritual person out there, although I would like to think that I have a pretty good grasp on my religion and have a decent relationship with God. ("To be quite honest I talk to God all the time and He's never mentioned you." - paraphase, Phillip the Mouse, Ladyhawk). I've been invited to come to the White Oak Conference again this year and my favorite duo is going to be there (APeX). However, I don't think I should be going. Money issues aside (expensive) I don't think it's right for me anymore. One, I don't really know anybody and I tend to find myself a bit of a loner at those kinds of things. If I had stayed active in my old youth group (i. e. a leader / director /thing) I may fell more comfortable, however they raised the age limit and I am not old enough. Two, I don't think like a high schooler. My relationship with God and with my church has changed. I don't feel comfortable in large crowds anyway, and now I have a different view of what's going on. I want to talk to people on a different level ... something that's only going to be offered one on one at something like this since the over all thing is directed to younger people. I may wind up going on spring retreat that STM does. I haven't decided yet. As if I didn't have enough to think about (philosophy, German *twitch*, what-to-do-with-my-life), I now realize that I need to re-evaluate the way I think about myself as a Roman Catholic. It's not a bad thing. Just something I wasn't expecting to happen. 'Til next time ...
Love you, Batman. @}--'--,--
