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.

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!
