Goodbye 2007!

Is it just me, or did this year go by extremely fast? It seems like just yesterday, I was at a party at my house eating Chinese food, celebrating the new year, 2007. Even thinking all the way back to the month I got this blog, (June 2007) I'm amazed at how fast the year has flown by. I have a lot of things to be thankful for, and I know you all do to. What will you remember about this past year? What was good about it? Bad? What has God taught you tis year? What are you looking forward to, concerning '08? Please comment, and I will do my best to respond...

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Wednesday, I’ll be going on a field trip in school. I will be going to the Museum of Science in Boston, to see a special CSI: Crime Scene Investigation exhibit. It’s kind of funny to note that this will be my first field trip at this school, and this is my second year here. I’m glad I’m going, and I will try my best to post pictures of my trip. Has anyone heard of the exhibit? Has anyone been to it? Please comment…

A Long Day

It is 8:34 AM. I am in school right now, and I am done. I am done every single piece of work that I was assigned today. I have shop until 11:00. Needless to say, I think this day will be a long one for me.

I'll keep myself busy by playing Mini Putt. This is one of the only fun, online games that my school's blocking software will allow. My lowest score is 24. Can anyone beat it?

In other news, we finally have a a new car! It is really nice. It's a '98 Honda Oddessy. Of course, I haven't really seen it in daylight yet, only because we bought it and drove it at night. I heard that Eric had fun messing around in it while it was at there house, and whether he did or didn't, I wouldn't put it past him.

The only downside to the new car is the old one. I felt so sad last night, taking the plates off of the old one, and locking up the car doors one last time. Driving away, and watching that car sit there, alone, was heartbreaking. Our family has had that car for almost 10 years. It was depressing to have to just, leave it there.

Thanksgiving

I'm sitting here on my bed, with my laptop on my lap, typing... and I am stuffed. I can barely keep my eyes open, but I feel bad about not posting for a week or two, so here you go.

The Wednesday Testimony/Pie service went well. I'm glad I got to share a testimony last night, and I definitely enjoyed hearing from those of you readers that were there as well. The pie was good, and the dodgeball was good too. (Even though Jenny almost took me out in both games.) It was good to see the Guggers there last night. Seeing and talking with Danny brought back a lot of memories from a long time ago.

Football this morning was also fun. A few of the calls were the most absurd things I've ever seen! (And believe me, I've seen some pretty absurd things!) I saw some things I didn't need to see, that I have too much decency to post about on a published website, so we won't go any further. Overall, this week has been pretty fun.

"Work Faithfully"

"...the men did the work faithfully... to set it forward"

2 Chronicles 34:12

Saturday is the church's Bi-Annual Work Day. This one is always a little more fun than the spring one, because of a few things. The first, is that it brings a lot of the young men together to do a faithful work for the church. Normally, doing work is not something I look forward to. But for some reason, doing it with my friends makes it fun. I also enjoy cleaning the chandelier shades with Mr. Denno. Contrary to popular opinion, Mr. Denno is a pretty nice guy to hang around with. :P I also like to jump into the leaves when they are all raked up. Once again, :P

Soldier on Wednesday was pretty fun. I ran right into Steven by mistake, but we all make mistakes, right? Anyway, I was being chased by someone, and I tripped, fell, and got my wrist bruised and swollen, and I have some very bad scrapes. It was fun though. I played with NO sweatshirt, so I don't want to hear ANYTHING about me shivering, or being cold, or being a baby! lol What do you think of Work Day, is it fun? Is it boring? Feel free to comment...

Half-days, Wednesdays, and Saturdays...

Half Days, are awesome. I'm in school now, it's about 10:05, and I get out today at 10:30! I plan on going home, drinking a large amount of Coca-Cola, playing some Madden, and topping it all off with using my computer.

Prayer Meeting last night was awesome. Pastor Eric's message from 2nd Kings, about taking a stand was not only edifying as usual, it was down-right energizing. Soldier was also energizing, (just, in a different way...) I took out Corey, and Steven, which is... not something that happens all the time. I've been running alot more lately, and I think the extra training on my leg muscles has helped my speed and endurance.

There's a teen activity coming up soon, and I am pumped! For those of you who still are in the dark about what we're doing, let me turn on a light for you. We'll be playing football! I can't wait! It should be pretty fun, as long as I don't tackle a certain someone...

Comment on anything accept for the tackling thing... even though I can smell Corey and Eric's comments a mile away....

Another In-School Post

Hey, what's up everyone? I'm posting from school again. Today has been boring. I finished all the assigned work for this morning, and was playing this cool game for a while, when I decided, I should post. I was trying to think of things to post about, when I noticed that the thing I post the most about, Is not having anything to post about!

Yesterday I had an eye appointment, during which my eyes were checked, numbed, and shot at with a laser. Sounds funny, eh? I'll be getting contacts in a few months, and I needed to get a new prescription so they could be up-to-date. He had to test my eyes for glaucoma, and to do so, he dropped a liquid into my eyes, which made them, and my whole face, numb. He did a few more things, and then I was done.

What do you think about me getting contacts? I am definitely getting them, but I was just wondering if you had any thoughts or opinions.

I am posting from in school again today. It's kind of funny to go home and read it, and think about what was going on when I wrote it, but... who cares.
Today, I found out some very good news. In January, I'll have an opportunity to compete on a school, state, and then national level in the SkillsUSA Speech division. This might not seem important to any of you, but I have been waiting for this opportunity for over a year!
This is like Eric getting into his football league, or John getting into his Counterstrike league again. Sorry if I got that wrong ;-)
Well, anyway, I'd love to stay and chat, but the teacher is coming, so let's just publish this baby and get it over with! Feel free to comment on anything, please.

Tastefully Simple

So, yeah, I haven't made a post in a while, "my bad." I can't think of anything to talk about, so I guess I'll just talk about last night. From about 5:30 to 9-ish, my mom was hosting one of those "tastefully simple" parties. It was pretty fun. I stayed in my room more than half the night talking on the phone, and using my laptop, but when I went out, it was awesome, and I stayed out...

One thing I couldn't help but notice though, was, that my house was jam-packed! The last time it was that full was the day we moved in, when almost everyone from the church was there. It was kind of fun to see the house come alive, so to speak.

I definitely want to do it again, but my mom thought it was too much work making several dips and breads the night before, lol. I was thinking about having all the teens over our house for an after-glow, or a sunday afternoon or something like that. Who would be up for it? Who understands what I meant about the house coming alive? Please comment, because honestly, I don't even think anyone checks this blog anymore...

Traditions

I'm in school right now. It's about 11:40, I just got back from lunch, and since I'm finished all the work I could possibly do, I decided to post. One of the things that came to my mind today was the Corn Maze Teen Activity. It sounds fun, especially since it's a new location this year, but I can't help but notice how "unskilled" our church is at handling traditions. The Teen boys retreat, that we all thought would last forever, lasted two years. Among other things are High Point (because there's a good chance we won't be going next year) and the Teen Sleepover. What do you think? Are there other good "traditions" that you wish we still had? Please feel free to comment...

My New Blog

I apologize to those of you who have tried to get into my blog and been restricted today, Thursday the 20th. I was making some big changes to the page, and I had to lock it to prevent some unwanted things from happening.
On the brighter side though, I have completely renovated my old blog! I have a new design, theme, and arrangement of elements. If you have checked this blog from it's creation date, up until now, you know the drill! :-D Tell me what you think. Good? Bad? Ugly? If so, why? Those comments will be very much appreciated!

Summer

Summer is over. I don't know about you, but mine was great. High Point was awesome, VBS was cool, my laptop is awesome and cool, but out of all the things hat happened this summer, I will miss Philippians. Last Sunday night was supposedly our last message from Philippians. Next week will be a review of all we've learned, but Philippians has become my friend over the past years. It will be sad to let go of it, but, as with anything sad in life, you must look on the bright side. I've learned to not worry about money, to be content whatever my state, to forget all, and move on for the cause of our Lord's gospel, and much more.

All in all, this summer was amazing in every sense of the word. I thank God for the good times, and the bad times this summer. There were definitely many of both.

For pictures from my friend Aaron's trips this summer, click here.
For some pictures of the Teen Boy's trip to High Point Camp, click here.

Enthusiasm II

I guess I really haven't had any enthusiasm to post lately. I have been using most of my computer time to keep track of my Facebook, and I'm pretty competent in my skills using it, so it seems a lot more exciting than my blog. The truth is, I don't really have much to post about. I guess I could talk about that game of GDB last night. I was surprised how good I played, actually. I made 6 catches, and made a good %75 of the shots I threw. it was fun. Another thing too... If anyone want's a copy of the VBS trailer that I made, just leave a comment about it, and I will get it to you as soon as possible.

P.S. I will open up the anonymous comments option so you can make a post if you read this and don't have blogger. Your Welcome!

"You Are Holy"

This is from the second of Michael W. Smith's Worship concerts in 2002. We sang this song down at High Point. It was new to most, but I knew it from this. I think there's a few other of his songs on Youtube...

I Can't Wait!

I CAN'T WAIT!! VBS has had it's share of failures over the past few years, but it has always been a blast. I have to admit that- it has always been a blast. Besides, from what I hear, and what I've done, I have a good feeling about numbers this year. I'm doing all the computer work for the program. I have registered 9 new kids over the phone! That number alone is more than we've had in the past decade combined! I can't even imagine the blessing our Lord has is store for us this week!

Back To School

I HATE this time of the year. It's almost time for me to go back to school. I think I have about two more weeks of freedom left. I'm looking forward to working in Office Tech, but as far as most of my other classes, I am really NOT looking forward to it. This is one of those times where I wish I was homeschooled. I wouldn't have to deal with going out early in the morning, to a place where my torch is constantly being put out. At the same time, I am very thankfull that I go to a school where I can meet new people, participate in sports, and receive special training in an occupational area. I might be sparking a heated debate here, but what do you think? Which method of schooling is better?

"Baggage"

At High Point, one of the terms that kind of stuck with me, was baggage. This was Pastor Sam's word for all the things we've done in our past that we bring to Christ. He told us to completely forget about this baggage, because in Christ's eyes, it is as far as the east is from the west. Then later in the week, one of our co-councilors gave a devotion straght from Phillippians 3, and encouraged us to forget about our past, and look forward to the things that God has for our future. Right now, after an exausting time distributing VBS flyers, and an interesting party, I have been connecting both of those things. As far as VBS is concerned, it seems that nobody wants to be the one to say something. Well, let me be the one. Our VBS program has been useless over the past few years. But, that is no excuse to give up. I believe that we need to forget about VBS last year, and that year before, and so on, and LOOK FORWARD to the program this year, and come to it with passion, and dilligence, and the mentality of forgetting where we've been. I think we need to abandon the baggage, the obstacles, and the failures, lower our shoulders, and push into the end-zone!

Your Opinion

I want your opinion on my new blog colors. Should I keep it like this? Should I go back to the minima light theme? Tell me what you think, please.

P.S. Aaron, I still believe that you are incorrect. I asked my councilor in the last email I sent him. The fight is not yet over...

"We Are What?!"

I am back from high point! It has truly been an amazing week in every sense of the word. I enjoyed last year's speaker more, but Sam Harbin (pictured left) was also a very skilled man. The messages that stuck me the most were the two about "torch lighting" and "living for eternity." The activities were outrageously fun, and one of the best things of all- they serve Coca-Cola! The title to the post was one of the cheers we did before the service, and had to be my favorite. (anyone who has seen We Are Marshall understands the line) The week was great, and I understand that my HP post will probably be the shortest of them all. Anyone with a question, a comment, or even any type of a concern, comment on the post.

P.S. Still check out the video below, it's pretty cool...

The Moment We've ALL Been Waiting For!

The time is finally here! Tomorrow morning, 7 of the teens from CBC will be embarking on a Lord Willing, life changing journey, to Pennsylvania. It is my heart's true prayer that we will be encouraged, strengthened, edified, "shaken, and stirred," refreshed, and ultimately drawn closer to the One who has, does, and will continue to bless and refine His people. Well, I guess this is it. Pray for safety, and a great time. I'll see you all when I get back!

High Point Introduction: 2007

Enthusiasm

For the past week, I have felt very little, to no enthusiasm when it comes to posting on my blog. Don't think I have nothing to post about though. Tonight, is Prayer Meeting. Thursday, is my "last day to work on my color before high point". Haha! two people have told me that I'm so white, that when I go swimming at HP, those swimming with me will need to wear protective sunglasses. I guess in a way, I'm whiter than snow. I know. Not Funny. But hey, at least I try. Friday is the Caudill's house, and then the Coopers, Saturday is the Church's Cookout, Sunday is two service's with Jenny's birthday party in between, then Monday, is.... well.... you know. It has taken all my might to not go crazy with the High Point topic. I'll try to post a little more before HP. I fear however, that the enthusiasm will be there, and the time will not. Where there's a will, there's a way...

Graduation

Today was the day of Beka's party. (Unless you are reading this on Sunday or after that) I had a great time at the party. We played Ultimate Football, had a Water Balloon Toss, and played that always popular, "Cat in the Hat" game. I guess that the day got me thinking about my own life. Maybe this is kind of sentimental to be posting on a blog, but I can't help but notice how much we've all grown up. It seems like just yesterday that the teen boys were going on a retreat to Maine, or half the helpers were actually in the program, instead of managing it. Congratulations to Beka, on her acheivement of her "Faith Christian Academy" High-School Diploma!

After-Glow

I had a great time at the After-Glow on Sunday. That Ping-Pong baseball game was very creative, and from what I have heared, it was designed on a spur-of-the-moment type of timeline. It was cool to see the pictures of Bekah and Jenny's trip to Pittsburg too. It was a smart idea to have the pictures displayed on the projector, as opposed to the laptop screen. One of the ideas that a friend and I had, was, a game of Age of Empires on the projector. How sweet would that be?! Pictionary was pretty fun, and in case you are wondering, my team won! LOL! Anyway, see you all at Prayer Meeting tonight!

Busy

This whole past week has been incredibly busy. I wouldn't have had time to post whether I wanted to or not. Not to mention the fact that my internet went out for over a week! I have been going early in the morning to the MCAS training course thing, which so far, I have found to be barely profitable. I am not really going anywhere with this, but who says I have to? It's my blog! Anyway, one of the things that has been on my mind more and more recently is this year's "Teen Service." I have been brainstorming ideas for the music, and messages, given I am involved with either. I would absolutely love to preach again, but word on the street is that others are anxious to do the same. I don't have to, I was just wondering. I ramble a lot, don't I?

Life

To the very few of you who read this blog, I hope that you had a spectacular 4th of July, I most certainly did. Now, to the even fewer of you who care about what I post about, you can relax. I am finished with my history novel, for now... For the next few weeks, I plan on posting about my life. Today, I officially start the MCAS (Massachussetts Comprehensive Achevement System) training course today. I'm not too thrilled about it. FYI, for the past week and a half, I've gotten up at 11:45! Now I have to get up at around 9:00! That's absurd if you ask me, but that's just Life.

Happy 4th of July!

For centuries, America has celebrated the 4th of July, a date that has become growingly signifigant in recent years. Our Country has survived many hardships. We overcame the greatest military power of the day, then we again crushed them in a close victory. We survived an internal war, and many other international wars after that. One thing that we must take notice to, is how that spirit, that same spirit that drove our founding fathers onward to freedom from oppression, or propelled our still young Union to victory over rebellion, or aided us in time of trouble concerning our relations with other countries, that spirit, to this day, continues to drive our soldiers and officials to promote freedom worldwide. May we have the same American spirit of our fathers, and more importantly the Holy Spirit from our Heavenly Father living inside of us always. May God sustain this nation, and in the words of our second president, John Adams, may He, "continue His blessing upon this nation and its Government and give it all possible success and duration consistent with the ends of His providence."

Vacation Bible School

This year VBS will be very fun. I have a strong feeling that there will be 10x more workers than kids, but other than that, I think the time will be profitable. I'll be the week's photographer, along with Eric and Aaron. Last year I had fun taking pictures of just about everything that happened during the week. This years theme is Rescue Zone: Saved By God's Power. A very humbling title, fit for a very humbling subject matter. Overall, I'm looking forward to it. I hope everyone else is as enthusiastic as I am.

A Break From the History Lesson...

I thought I'd take a break from the history lesson today, and tell you about what is perhaps my most favorite movie. The hit musical, 1776.

Although at first, it's surprising to see a musical about the writing of the Declaration of Independence, the viewer is soon caught up in the politics and emotions of this important American event. It should be watched more than once, because it can be appreciated on several different levels. There are some of the biggest laughs, some of the most poignant moments, and the sweetest love songs you'll see in movies. Much of the dialog is taken straight from the documented letters and conversations of the principal characters, and we get to see them as real people with real worries and real feelings, rather than as the marble statues seen in the history books. This is definitely a must-see movie (and stage play, if you get the chance), and one you won't forget.

For the next 9 days, I will make my best effort to cover every influential year previous to, and during the Revolutionary war. I don't mean to brag, but some of you are aware of my intense interest in the Revolution. So, my readers, sit back, relax, and enjoy the wonderful history of our early nation...

Teen Boys: High Point

For reasons that are crystal clear, I know that the Teen Boy's trip to HP Camp will not be the same as last year. New people, new cabin arrangements, and other things will be changing our camp experience, hopefully, for the better. So under "Comments," tell me what you think will be great about our trip.
