I'm becoming one of those really lame bloggers. One of those bloggers that never blog. Lame! So here's a post. I feel like my life has been a huge roller coaster the last little while, so (although you probably aren't really dying to read about my life) I'm giving yet another update in the life of JJ Crowley.
Camps/Trips Taken So Far: Back East trip with family, EFY with cousins, Ward Youth Conference at Bear Lake, Student Body Office retreat at Bear Lake (two days after youth conference, haha), Priests Camp on the Snake River.
Trips Yet to Be Taken: Just one leadership conference. Maybe two. Probably one. YAY! Home at last.
SBO: Well, I've already mentioned it, but I'll be the publicity officer next year at Viewmont. Right now I'm brainstorming ideas of how to spice up the morning announcements because NO ONE listens to them, and it's killing me. I have to get the word out, and that is the best way, and yet NO ONE pays attention. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Soccer: This, in my opinion, is the saddest part of my life right now. For the first time in 9 years, I'm not on a team. It's killing me. I juggle every day (that I've been home), but my burning passion and love for the greatest sport on earth isn't being quenched. I think I'll go cry in my room now.
Summer Goals: At the beginning of the summer we (me and my siblings) made personal goals for the summer. Our parents then gave us an amount of money they would be willing to pay us if we completed the goals. I've gotta say, I really like this idea! I've been showered and dressed every day by 10:30 this summer (I know some of you just sprayed milk out your nose, but this is actually an accomplishment for me. I'm quite the "vegger" as my mom calls it). I've also been much more consistent on exercising and scripture reading because of it.
Life in General: Is great. I love life. I'm so blessed. Out of 6 BILLION people on earth I get to be one of 13.5 million who have the true gospel in my life. The Lord has entrusted me with his priesthood. I understand where I was before I came to Earth. I know why I'm here and that the Lord expects much of me. I know where I'm going after this life and what I have to do to obtain eternal glory and life with my Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ. Wow. I can't wait to share that with other people. Like I said, I'm more blessed than I can even express.
Well that went rather churchy towards the end, but this is a Destination of Diverse Discussion, so that's okay. :) Thanks for checking in and I will try to post more often now that I'll be home some more.
