Love is not a four-letter word.

I really would write in this more often if I consistently had definitive thoughts. But I don't. So much of the time, my mind is caught in a whirlwind of information and knowledge, and its hard to focus. There is always so much to think about that I tend to not think about anything at all.

The past couple of days I have been on a Staff Retreat. It was an amazing and fun experience. Every bit of knowledge is applicable and beneficial. It provided a point of focus when we feel caught in the slump or the whirlwind or just life. And of course, I got to float the river for the first time which was A-mazing.

Lastly,
I am reading a book called Soul Cravings by Erwin McManus. I have wanted to buy it for a while because of its spiffy cover, but I always managed to talk myself out of it. Until now. It's good. Nothing that makes me want to run out and buy 1000s of copies to hand out to people, but it's good. (Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, however, check your mailboxes, you should all be receiving a copy soon... I wish.) But its an easy read and relateable.
I ordered 4 more books today, so I better kick up the pace.

I love you guys.
Jesus was beaten and spilled his blood on that hill for us.
Let's not let it be in vain.
If nothing else, we have to just try and figure it all out.

God is love.
