Semester starts full-speed ahead.
This week we publish our first issue of The Crown, which is kind of exciting. It's also a little scary. This is my first issue as Editor-in-Chief and I hope it is a good issue. The Crown has gained so much momentum in the three years I've worked for it. It's exciting to see just how much it has grown, and changed and developed. It's humbling to be a part of under 30 people who have been The Crown's EIC since it began in 1983.
Although that entire paragraph had multiple grammatical errors, I don't really mind. This blog isn't meant to adequately reflect my intellect.
Anyways, on to homework.

Luther: Christendom's Superhero
Does anyone else find this as funny as I do?
It was a book in the Kid's section of MBC's bookstore. Awesome.
Word of the Day: Gumptuous (not even a word).

90s Nostalgia Summer-End Party
Party was a success.
That is all. This time next week, I will be at Redeemer, with my roommate. I love her.
Word of the Day: Fetish
Quote of the Day: "I hate thunderstoms." - Kristy
I also, finally, got my G1. I am almost 22 years old. I'm just going to pass it off and say I have an irrational fear of multiple choice tests. That seems to get the most laughs.
And I cut my hair.
That is all. This time next week, I will be at Redeemer, with my roommate. I love her.

More Camp Fotos
Good news is this:
I figured out how to work my iPhoto editor. I'm thrilled. It's become much more fun to take pictures (especially since my camera is now the miracle camera which survived a 15ft drop to the bottom of Mary Lake).
Behold: my week (sort of).

2 Books in 2 Days
I realized this week that I have been working my way through several books since [probably] January, and I decided it was about time I should finish them.
Also, for those avid followers of mine, namely Suggernuggets, who have wondered in silence where the Marineland Commercial Count went, do not worry for it remains. In fact, my surprise is simply that I actually managed some Marineland commercials this summer - all the way up in the Muskokas.
MCC: 3 (includes Radio and TV)
Word of the Day: Pink

The Love Epidemic
"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith, goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self control; and to self control, perseverence; and to perseverence, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ."
- 2 Peter 1:5-8
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the LORD forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love which binds them together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace."
- Colossians 3:12-15
These two sets of verses tell us how to live.
Which is fine.
Except that, the most common question I get here at MBC is this:
how do i care about other people if i don't care about myself?
That, at it's very core, is a question of this struggling generation. This generation of teenagers have not been taught two things:
1) Self worth.
2) Discipline.
In essence, what they ask is directly in line with a commandment of Jesus.
love your neighbour as yourself.
This implies you must love yourself. But this begs two other questions.
1) What is love?
2) What happens when an entire generation of teenagers aren't being taught how to love themselves?
And be wary. I don't for a second suggest that this love is something superficial. In fact, the Bible points to love that is selfless. See 1 Corinthians 13.
But those two passages demand we put on love. We must love.
how do we love if we haven't been taught what love is?
Food for thought, I guess.
This is what this generation of teenagers is facing.
