I visited the RCNZ National Youth Camp on Friday evening, and stayed up all night with the people playing volleyball basketball and Metallica. Matthew Baird and i got a bit of paper and wrote some things at the top, and by the end of the night (the morning) this is approximately what it looked like:

WRITE YE GOOD THINGS
Write something nice anonymously about someone else at camp. Pass this page on to someone else

Hmm… just a random comment… I like the way that Hamish can make people laugh :) hehehe.

I love Rebecca she is so hot.

I like the way that Josh keeps trying to ride the unicycle even though we all know he can’t.

Jason is very good at drawing and Becky has a lovely smile.

I like Dion, he knows how to make people laugh.

Waterguns are fun in the early hours of the morning. Weeee!!

I love the free time and sport.

There was this shoe… but no. Very many people at camp smile. Rachel the committee person always says hello. There was a man with glasses, he said hello once too…

Tim thinks my sister is “hot”. Then he said I was hot too and so was my mum.

The cam nurse is cool she made me all better.

I love Marlene’s smiling eyes.

Good things? They are a little too “good” for me! LIfe is a rich tapestry of manifold blessings, poetry, people are two significant features of the good life. I am certainly a fan of Jess’ heaven-touched smile, her celestial countenance sets my soul souring. Good friends like Matt & Jono, beautiful brothers like Si & Chris, and creation istelf contains ample food for hearts starved of happiness. Arise, witness the dew as it kisses the face of the earth in the morning, then, with immaculate adroitness, transcends its nocturnal lover to join its lofiter brothers.

Jason is very good at encouraging others in their artistic persuits. Many pretty faces and smiles around the place.

I appreciate the positive comments about what others think of my ability as a leader, as I thought I was only doing my duty and not particularly well either. Thank you, people, once again.
