slow night, so long.

i don't even know where to begin.

the last month has kind of been a blur. the start of the month was spent at Living Springs Bible Camp, just outside of Camrose, AB. not only did i get to play a show with the captains, but i also got to be a cabin leader, with a rad group of guys. after the week there, we spent another week in regina, just hanging out, going swimming. you know, the usual. this last week was spent at another camp in middle-of-nowhere, saskatachewan. though it was great to be a cabin leader at the first camp, it was great to have just the music to worry about at this camp. without the responsibility of taking care of kids, i got to sleep a lot more, and play a whole lot of freecell. now i'll be back in the city for a few weeks before we take off for our last camp.

now that you're caught up, here's what's actually important.

these last few weeks have really made me realize how important and poignant my faith really is. i've been a christian for my entire life, and it took me this far to really grasp the importance of the life of Jesus Christ. i don't know what you, random reader, believes in, but i can tell you that i have never felt more secure and thankful for my faith. i'd always heard people saying, "Jesus died for your sins", but it really wasn't until this month, that it really sunk in, how amazing that really is. maybe all this comes from the fact that i was baptized this month, but i don't know. i think it's funny how easy it is for christians to just cruise through life, not thinking of what an amazing God we have. we accept whats around us so easily, when the fact of the matter is, it's what's waiting for us after life that is going to be the real treasure.

anyways, maybe that will make you think about things. i hope it does.

Amen brother,
I pray we all get a realization of who God really is, what He did for us, and what plans He has for our lives.
It's easy to cruise through life brother, because our enemy knows how much potential each one of us has if we choose to live for God. He will destract us with the things in this world, anything to take our eyes off our king and live for ourselves. But if we fight through, that's when we return to the glory we were crafted for, and take our rightful places as children and heirs to the kingdom.

Our treasure is not only after this life, but it starts here and now, and continues throughout eternity.

Thanks Jamison, for reminding me of what's important. Let's not miss out.

Your Brother-in-arms,

Jumo
