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."
