Pop is like the creepers and vines
Everyone sees it;
Everyone's caught up in it
It's a world where
Pink's the new green,
Thin's the new fat,
Put on stilletos; click, clack,
walk like that
Walk like this;
Blow a kiss,
And tip your hat.
Pop is a sensation
Sensational lie;
A bitter lie
That cages truth
Behind an eclipse.
Hidden behind booze and people getting high.
An epedemic;
a bandit that burns and brands the flesh
The wound smells of the lowtide of a wasteland
Listen to the music;
Wear the clothes;
Watch the tv;
With its brainwashing music
With seductive lyrics
Pop is entropy
A science of human relations;
The commercial etiquette
What's pretty to the eye,
Pretty to hear
It's become a part of the body
Like make-up on a face
Turned us into machines,
All doing the same things
As if we were trained in the marines
We all march
On the wide road
You can only be a part of it
If you can keep the pace
Are you a part of this race
Or set apart by God's grace?
They tell me to, abandon you To make my dreams, come true But what am I, supposed to do If all I dream of, is you
Before I went to camp the second week to be a counselor, God laid on my heart a message to give to my girls on the first night of camp. It was about modesty and waiting for your husband. It went like this: In Luke 15:11-32, it talks about the lost son who wanted his inheritance early. He asked for it and it was givin to him. He left home and became very popular. All of his friends loved him because he gave them wine and luxeries. He spent everything he had and a great famine came. He had to work and feed the pigs. He was so hungry that he wanted to eat the pig slop. The same story applies to our bodies. If we show everything we have before the time comes like the son spent all of his money before his father died, we will have nothing left for our husbands. If we "save up" for after we're married, we'll be much richer. Now, when the son realized that his father's slaves were richer than he was, he went back to his father. When his father saw him a ways off, he sent for him and put a robe on his back, rings on his fingers, and sandals on his feet. He covered him. Just like the son's father took him back in gladly, our Father in heaven will take you back and forgive you.
Camp was the most awesome thing that I will go to all year. The worship services were amazing. We didn't mosh or anything :( but we did dance like no one was watching and that was just as good. The services were awesome. Especially the one that talked about running the race. That service was when I was a counselor and I had to pass out running batons as a symbol of continuing the gospel. We threw off our maskes and cast our cloaks and all other kinds of things as symbols of giving our all for God and surrendering to what he wants us to be. I can't go into detail about EVERYTHING because I will run out of room. So just rest assured that it was awesome.
So camp is coming up pretty fast. I have nine more days, and I'll be gone for two weeks. I won't be back on until June the 28. I'll probably be so tired that I won't check my mail until June 29. But it would make me feel EXCELLENT if you sent me comments, messages, etc. I've got a lot on my mind, like the fact that my mom doesn't want me to go to Millsaps, which is like the best college ever, and I have no support whatsoever on what I'm wanting to do with my life. Except for God. So I'm taking a break to plan for the future, look at colleges, and just relax. Don't worry I'll be back. Love all of you.

thats awesome! we have inspection every morning, but
its just for having clean rooms. we lose points if
anything is out of place. although you are allowed to
try to bribe the directors with food. we used cheese
whip once

haha, but im so amazing! and im not even that crazy.
one of my friends brought his xbox 360. but i think his
dad was one of the chaperons, so that would explain how
he got a tv in his room. the dorm rooms we stay in are
pretty sparse, but most of us bring stuff to brighten
them up, like rugs and little basketball hoops to
attach to the doors and posters.

Cool. I'm to poor to get a good truck. I'll probably
get a really crappy first car so I can save for an
awesome car later.
