What's up everybody I'm Matt this is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and one time when

I was in seventh grade I had this crush on this girl at camp and she had a crush on

me back and it was awesome it was a magical week it's not like we wouldn't did anything

stupid or out of bounds we just liked each other and it was sweet and innocent and wonderful

and I loved the way that week felt it was affirming in so many ways and I felt like

it really connected with somebody in a way that was unique but we both knew that we

lived way far away from each other this is before cell phones when you had to pay long

distance fees to call somebody if they didn't live in your town we're never going to

see each other again maybe next year at camp then everything will be different and so

it's the week went along those were just rich days but there was this looming thing that

as we traveled down the road toward Friday afternoon when our parents would come and pick

us up and camp would be dismissed it became more and more somber because we knew everything

would change and this will be something we can never recapture and that's that I think

wow was that the year Richard Marx put out endless summer nights this is all dawning on me

in real time I think it might have been it just occurred to me I think that endless summer nights

by Richard Marx which is so sad it's kind of the same theme as the boys of summer by Don Henley

the theme is like oh this is all going to go away and it's so sad and I have these nice memories

of this thing that we knew couldn't last as we move toward autumn I've always weirdly loved

that song despite it not being particularly good and I think that's why I think it's an nostalgia

for camp that year this is crazy we just had a breakthrough you and me is an amazing amazing thing

but if you can understand what it feels like to be in one of those kid crush moments where

this time frame that's beyond your control is creeping up on you and it's all going to change so
