One thing that I love doing is brainstorming and in a sense going back to the drawing board to think and reflect on various things. Whether it is brainstorming about how to do better in school next semester or just making a list of qualities that I want to strive to posses, I love brainstorming. But to brainstorm and “go back to the drawing board”, also takes some courage. The reason being is that you have to often admit where you went wrong or messed up. But always striving to become better will set anyone up for success in this completive world.

A great example of going back to the drawing board was this past tuesday at one of the Youth Groups I go to. We talked about why Youth Group exists and then we just brainstormed about areas in which we could be better in. We also made a list of qualities that we thought were important to our group. The best part is that we know have a refined view of qualities in which we want to strive for and also areas in which we could improve in.

Reflecting on the past and brainstorming about how to become better is a humbling, but crucial part of life.

Just picked up a new book by Sean McDowell to read. He is a super smart guy who is a leading force in providing arguments and questions and in turn defending and explaining the christian faith against other religions.

One thing that I loved about Junior Lifeguards was jumping off the pier. In fact it was one of the main reasons I did Junior Guards. Because it is illegal to jump unless you are in junior lifeguards. But for some reason I really want to jump off the pier right now. Its just super fun. I’ve jumped off over 35 times. I think the best part is the 25 foot drop – its just an awesome experience. Below is a picture of one of my first pier jumps.
