Tonight is a night of great sorrow, but excitement. Sorrow because Summit 2011 is finally over, but excitement because we all get to go back to the real world and begin to live out what we have learned here in these last two weeks. My time at Summit has been outstanding, and it is hard to believe that it is actually over.

What do men, mountains, and doughnuts all have in common? Well, if you were one of the 35 men who awoke at 5:45am for the Summit “manhike” you would know. As the men of summit hiked Red mountain and enjoyed scripture and doughnuts at the peak, the women of Summit enjoyed calm conversations by the fire- accompanied by complementary fresh fruit, of course.

Coming from a conservatve family and growing up in a culture with an ingrained leftist view of the world, you can imagine how shocking it was to come to Summit. I have grown up in San Francisco, California all my life and have soaked up a lot of lies that I always assumed to be true...

Being raised in a Christian home and going to church my whole life, I’ve always had the idea that I knew almost all there was to know about God, the bible and Christianity. Coming to summit has made me realize above all else, that I am far from all-knowing. My Sunday school answers may cut it in my small Christian circle of friends. But when real life kicks in and people start asking the tough questions, and challenging the Christian worldview, I need to know why I believe what I do. As well as how to defend it. And that’s one of the many things I’ve been learning, at summit so far.

It was an odd thing, waking up to sunlight this morning. The peaceful silence and bright, cheery light streaming between the blinds brought me out of the rest we’ve all been craving. There was no booming, rafter-shaking music nor did anyone yell “WAKE UP SUMMIT!” at the top of their lungs.
