Independence Day and Stuff

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. We get to celebrate our freedom! What a great thing it is to be free. Think about it; what was one of the big differences between Christ's plan and Satan's plan? Agency, A.K.A. freedom. That's why America is so great! We can choose!

Anyway, enough preaching. Time to write.

I'm stuck in my apartment all day today. I've been sick for the past week, but today it was especially bad (which is weird because I was feeling great yesterday.) I'm taking a lot of medicine and resting a lot, but I want to write and so I will write.

Phil's Independence Day celebrations: I went wakeboarding for the first time! Well, I had gone before, but it was at Deer Creek and it was after the sun had set (in other words, I was focusing more on staying alive and less on wakeboarding.) I actually got up and moved around a bit! It was exhilarating! The best part was wiping out. I don't know why people don't like it. To me, it's half the fun (especially when skiing down a mountain really fast and I can't stop.)
The other great part about wakeboarding was being on a boat. I love boats. I love the feeling of the wind rushing past as the boat speeds along. It's one of those times when the entire world goes away. There isn't anything that needs to be done immediately, nothing to worry about; tomorrow will come and so I will enjoy today.
The final (and best part, kind of) about boating is getting completely fried from head to toe. I recently got a hair cut and my hair is very short so the sun had no problem burning my head ALL OVER. But alas, God has created aloe vera gel. Next to Reeces Pieces, this is one of the greatest things ever created. Haha random thought: aloe vera gel is like repenting. First you get sunburned (sin,) then you feel the burn (sorrow for sin,) then you... rub aloe vera gel everywhere (repent.) Oh well, that could've been really good with some thought. :P
The cap on the night was going to a singles young adult party. It was a little... tiresome, but there were some really fun and interesting people there to make it enjoyable. Oh! The other best part about the whole thing was catching fire flies and squishing them! Their glowing stuff continues glowing when they're squished (great for glow-in-the-dark war paint!)

Well, another blog done. I love this thing. Blogs are so fun! It's an opportunity to share yourself with the world. You wanna say something?! Say it!

"HELLO, WORLD! MY NAME IS PHILIP JAMES WOOLLEY; BORN AUGUST 10, 1988 IN STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA! You bombard me with your culture and try to get me to stray from the path, but I WILL NOT STRAY! I AM HERE TO PLEASE THE GOD OF ISRAEL AND NONE ELSE!"

Oh yeah, isn't that fun?! There is great power in writing or speaking what you believe. Stand up for truth even if it means standing alone. You will never stand alone with God. That's what makes choosing the right so powerful.
