Hello Fall!
It has finally gotten cooler out- and even when its 80 degrees, it still feels cool because its been so disgustingly hot here. But it was 66 out when I left for class this morning, and it definitely feels like fall. The mosquitoes are leaving and I can sit outside again! Its nice and breezy and not so humid. <3 I wish that the leaves would change colors and fall off of the trees here, but I guess that’s just how the southern coast is.

I’ve had these boots for a year now and I never wear them, partially because they’re too hot for the summer, and partially because they’re terrible to break in. I’m considering running them over with my car a few times.
- My Plants
I’ve been growing some plants, and they’re doing well now that I’ve moved them into the back yard. There is some basil and spinach and other things- I throw all my seeds into a big planter and let them grow as they please so I’m not sure what the little buds are yet. Some animal has been digging in the planter, though, and I think it might be my cat, but I’m not sure. I’m really annoyed about it, and I think I’m going to have to find a screen to put over it.
Napoleon’s Thoughts on Jesus
“I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him.” –Napoleon
Church was really good tonight. Jimbo is the new college minister, and there was just an ambience of goodness and change. Erica went to a leadership meeting and apparently Jimbo was talking about the same things that I was upset about with the church earlier this year- Things about the church being institutionalized and not communal. And he is starting small groups, not for bible study per se, but more just for meeting people and forming community. And I’m very glad. I’ve been going to 180 for three years and I hardly know anyone still.
I have felt very negative and static lately, and I am going to change that. There hasn’t been enough God in my life. My camp director was doing this thing where she wore a bracelet and every time she said something negative, she’d take it off and put it on the other arm- which isn’t a huge deal, but it makes you more aware of the things you’re saying. I think I’m going to do that.
Love.
