cooking, comedy, & camp

this is my ode to community.  (not the show...but the wonderful people i consider friends.)

to the people of my world that write sweet messages on my facebook wall,
to those that text a quick inside joke out of the blue,
to you that call in the afternoon to tell me they're cooking and i can come over and eat for free...
i wouldn't know thougtfulness as well without you.

to the people of my world preface admissions with, "i can't believe i'm actually saying this out loud..."
to those that blog their personal lives,
to you that let me see their tears...
i wouldn't know honesty as well without you.

to the people of my world that make funny noises in the background when i'm trying to record my outgoing voicemail recording,
to those that tell me stories of how they wet their pants in front of their new boyfriends,
to you that practice "tangentry"...
i wouldn't know laughter as well without you.

to the people of my world that ask me the hard questions,
to those that speak the words of Christ into my life when i'm feeling sorry for myself,
to you that work tirelessly so that youth camp is a setting where kids can know Jesus better...
i wouldn't know the Lord as well without you.
