There is nothing to compare the feeling I got when I received text messages from friends with pictures of a goat in their backyard. Apparently they were at a softball game and there was just a random goat there. One of them, believing they knew who the goats owner was, took it home so they could get a hold of the owners.
I often hear the complaint of there is nothing to do in Ephraim... personally I think there is too much to do in Ephraim. Its such a small place, but its overflowing with college students. That equals my idea of a good time. You have to find and create your own entertainment! You have to truly spend time together and learn from each other. You're forced to just hang out with each other and talk and laugh. That is one of my favorite things about going to college in a small town. You never know what could happen. Every night I go to bed thinking back on my days wondering how in the world did I get involved with all these random, simple, and silly adventurers. For example, how did I end up in my friends' backyard petting a goat. I can't remember a single moment (besides class and homework) being bored in Ephraim.
Never close yours eyes and heart to the world around you. Never complain about being bored. Never lose awe and wonder. Never stop loving. Honor your God by enjoying the life and world he gave you.
