me back! XD

[Slater]

ah... I just got back from my first Men's camping Retreat with people from a few churches around the place (most of them from here in CA, one was from, I think, Rhode Island). It was awesome and I got reminded of a lot of stuff that pertains to the spiritual life! We did all kinds of manly things too, like paintballing.

Ah, paintballing. Twas my first time I ever went and I must say it was VERY fun! Of course it's all fun and games until the Ref leaves saying "ok just play to finish up your paintballs; any rules you want!" and the 20-ft rule suddenly gets redefined to the less-than-1 foot rule. Naturally, me being the n00b, I was the one who fell victim to that. Here is a picture of my back. Hehe... it wasn't untill about 15 minutes after the games were all over and I was about to take a shower that I noticed how bad those two were. The pic was taken while I was having them treated by the nurse, so that white-ish goop stuff on the top one is just antibiotic ointment. While it feels ok right now, sleeping with them has proven to be a somewhat difficult thing. So, I'm just asking for prayer that these heal up fast ^^;

Well, I guess I won't be playing paintball (originally I typed it "pain-ball" -- a Freudian slip?) anytime soon. I'll pray.

lol, don't let it scare you from the game. It's great fun, and the welts you get aren't nearly as bad as that as long as people follow the rules.
