california and post-thoughts

california was intense. in a sentence it was: 100 high schoolers, 20 leaders, 6 bus drivers, 3 buses, 10 days of ridiculousness and a palm tree in a toilette! ok, so maybe there was no palm tree in a toilette, but that would be pretty rad. i had a great time, but also got sick and very exhausted. when i got home i felt quite overwhelmed and very lonely. i think i am torn lately by my desire to love and serve at lcbi, or wherever else God may call me to be, and my desire to have community with people my age, living the life of an average 20-something year old. maybe there is no such thing as a "normal" life for a 20-something year old, but it sure seems like a rad idea to have tight friends living closer than an hour away.
