5:30 My alarm goes off. I Change the time for my alarm to 5:40
5:40 I'm only doing this because I have to. I got up, got dressed and decided I should probably pack my suitcase before I eat breakfast, just in case I run out of time.
6:39 and I'm off. My suitcase is in the trunk of my car. My peanut butter jelly sandwich should be digesting. The drive to town was nothing special. Though I have to admit that lately I've been getting tired while driving. For my own safety and that of potential passengers, I'm going to be making a real effort to getting the sleep I need (also I'd like the whites of my eyes to be white again, the color they have taken does very little for the blue I inherited from my father), but before I get any of that much needed sleep, I must navigate my way through a week of church camp.
I'm not sure what I think about going to church camp. Most of my uncertainty I feel stems from the fact that I'm not really decided on how I feel about religion. Look, at this point it is rather obvious that religion has no factual foundation (meaning god), what I still question is whether or not to lead a 'religious' life. Leading a religious life certainly has attractions. I attend church not out of desire to learn about a deity, but to learn about the lessons that have carried generations. Not believing in a deity does not mean you are not allowed to appreciate the teachings of a religion.
I pray. I don't know why I do, but I do. The idea that I exist as more than a biological phenomena is comforting, and I suppose that is part of the reason that religion endures, it is after all a meme.
12:26 I'm about to go to sleep. I've really had a good first day at this camp, our group leader is very open minded. I think his name is Dan. Describes himself as "Spiritual, but not very religious" it's the first time I've heard something like that and it took me a while to understand but I think that is a good way for me to think of myself until I give it more thought... Or maybe religious but not spiritual.
12:34 Goodnight future Aiden, don't live in ignorance, but if you have to ignore the height to cross the bridge, do what you've got to do.
