Marginally

I leave in three days to go on a mission trip to Michigan. I’ll take part in building a house for a poor, deserving family. I’m looking forward to helping another family in need, but lately I’ve really been questioning my dedication to the church. I used to love attending service and singing and taking communion, but now it seems silly to me. And I can’t say why. Ah, I hope all goes well. I hope I can deal with the silly junior and sophomore girls that are in my youth group seemingly just to make fun of everything. Cool, cool for them. Give me your address if you want me to send you a postcard!!

Up In Smoke

My parents know I smoke now. They want to take me to Smoke Enders, which is like AA for smokers. They also want me on the patch and chewing the gum. This is going to be the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. Wow, that’s pretty sad.
