Whoo-wee... I haven't posted a blog for a while! Lemme see... Where to begin... My cousin (He's 26), his wife, and his baby came down here, because he's trying to get a job at the place my dad works. He came down for an interview, and to look at some property. It was pretty awesome. The only sad thing was that I wasn't able to go to small group on Sunday, because Dad and Mom didn't get back in time from showing them the property. The next day was his interview (He spent the night). Now, if I haven't confused you enough... :P

I went hunting again yesterday, but didn't get anything. I saw too deer, but they were going too fast, and were out of range.

Spiritually... I don't really know. I'd like to say my relationship with God is getting better, but I'm not 100% sure it is at the moment. It seems that I have been falling away, little by little. I wasn't sure why, though I think I might know why, now... It's rather confusing. Anyway, I think it'll get better now

Otherwise, I have to write an essay today >.<. I hate writing essays and such, heh... Oh well, have to do what you have to do. Hope you guys are all doing okay, and didn't break down and go insane for lack of my blogs

Wahoo! My birthday is in less than thirty minutes!


I've had my three best friends over . It's really awesome. We played Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube, had cake, opened a few presents (Though my present from my parents is my guitar ), and now are watching "The Emperor's New Groove." It's really awesome. My birthday is tomorrow (The eleventh)! Yay!

Hey, belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY, pal!!! Wow, what a wonderful age you've reached! Hope it's your best ever year.

You're still doin' a wonderful ministry job BTW. I really honour you for that. Keep up the good work! And of course the more you bless others the more the Lord does good things in your life as well. That's how He's set it up to work, which is pretty awesome, hey. Blessings!

Hehe, I really do like his work. He seems to be okay guy too, though I wouldn't know, and don't wanna say he is, because I haven't met him.

Thanks, though I'm not specifically sure what "ministry" you're referring to...


Anyway! Blogpost!

Yesterday our church had a Christmas banquet, and it was semi-formal/formal, meaning white button up shirt, slacks, and a tie, which was pretty cool. First time I've ever dressed up like that. My dad let me borrow a pair of his old dress shoes that I could fit, and I polished them up for the banquet (First time polishing). Anyway, when we got there and got inside, I looked down and noticed I seemed to be trailing dirt or something. I also noticed that my shoe felt odd. Anyway, I looked down at the bottom of my shoe to see what was on it, and I noticed I was missing a chunk of rubber about the size of a cubic inch. Not good. Also, the bottom was all cracked and such. Also not good. Luckily, I was able to borrow some shoes from a friend, though they were a size too big for me. Still, better than no shoes . It was annoying, hehe, that my shoes would fall apart the first day I wore them. Anyway, it wasn't the BEST day ever afterwards. The teenagers were serving the rest of the congregation. Oddly enough, I got stuck in the 3rd-5th grade room, even though I stink with kids. But yeah, at least my best friend was in there . The worst part about that, though, was when one of the little kids decided to kick me in the privates... Ouch... Luckily, I was basically expecting it, so it didn't hurt a huge amount, though I'd have preferred it not to happen.

This morning was really cool, also. My sister's best friend was over, and we went sledding! We live by a mountain, and there's a large fire road up to the top, which has two really large hills on it, one being larger than the other. It was really cool, there was a bunch of ice on top of the snow, and we are able to go REALLY fast! Luckily we didn't fall off of the really large drop to the left, lol!


Anyway, that's all for now! See you all later, God bless!

I was referring to your caring ministry to hurting ppl, e.g., like all the posts you did to 'why does this keep happening' recently. Izzy is going great compared to what she was. You helped and the Lord is pleased!

Oh what fun with the shoe thing!

I notice you're another American with snow n ice and having all this fun with sledding n stuff! While we poor ole Auzzies are boiling in mid-summer temperatures well into the 'nineties F with high humidity as well! Nope, no white Christmas for us!!! *silent tear*

Oh, thanks for explaining that, I was completely confused, lol. Don't worry, that's normal for me to be clueless


Anyway, you aren't left out about the white Christmas thing. For the past three years of living in Virginia, we have not had a white Christmas. TEXAS had one, but we didn't... That's how sad it is, lol! Texas is practically a desert... Lol, oh well, hope we get one this year!

One thing you never strike me as is being 'clueless'! (but I do know what you mean... sometimes I wonder if brains can actually leak outa me ears...)

That's unbelievable about Texas!!! And WOULD be nearly as incredible as if we ever got one snowflake here in Brisbane, Queensland (half of our State is in the Tropics; half sub-tropical). And most of Australia is desert-type country too. In fact we have the rather dubious honour of being the driest continent in the world!!!

Anyway here's hopin' for lots of snowflakes for ya in Virginia on Dec 25!!

Bless ya, pal!

Yeah, a cool story on snow at an unlikely time:

One of my best friends is seventeen, and his family does missions work in China. He has actually lived in China more than the US, lol. Anyway, when he was young, his family was in Tibet. I'm not entirely sure where, but wherever it was, it was cold, but never snowed. Not even one flake. So yeah, anyway, he told his parents he wanted a white Christmas, you know, like all small children (And even 15 year old ones... Hehe) do. They told him it wouldn't happen, but he said he'd pray for it, and God would give him a white Christmas. His parents didn't believe him, because the older we get, the more logic-oriented we become (Or so it seems), but they didn't really tell him that. The next morning (Christmas morning) they looked outside, and in their housing area's courtyard, it was covered in snow! What was even more amazing was that there was NO snow at ALL in the surrounding areas, just in that little housing complex. Probably the size of two or three lawns. I don't know exactly how big, but it was still cool to hear about

What an absolutely amazing story!!! Yes, the older we get... it's not good, not good at all. We seem to lose that simple faith as life gets harder and more complex. And then we just seem to lose sight of the fact that our Father is SO powerful, and that He can do ANYTHING! If we believe!!! I'm going to step up my faith from reading this story, so a big, big thanks for posting it!

That's just.... amazing!

Talking about China... what kind of mission work in China he and his family do/did? Where in China?

They do well-digging in Tibet, mostly. It's a pretty cool ministry


Well, an update!

We unwrapped our Christmas presents early, because we're going to my aunt's for Christmas, and she and my uncle don't do presents anymore, as they're getting a little too old to do it :P. The whole, "What's the point without kids?" thing. Anyway, I got the new Third Day CD (YAY!), some new headphones (YAY!), and a portable music stand! (DOUBLE YAY!) This CD ROCKS!

Talking about ministry/mission trip/..., it's pretty hard to do it in China with the presecution and stuff, I guess well-digging cover it up perfectly

We unwrapped our Christmas presents early

HA! We did it too, wait... I didn't even have to unwrapped it.

Anyway, I got the new Third Day CD (YAY!), some new headphones (YAY!), and a portable music stand! (DOUBLE YAY!) This CD ROCKS!

That rocks! I only got 2 AAA rechargeable batteries
But yeah... exactly when I need it, so that's wonderful too

Sure is an amazing ministry, wow!

Great posts on Izzy's thread, Paul. Thanks a bunch for helping! She's a very good thinker, and despite all her quite incredible hardships, a really amazing gal who we a very close to, and have a great deal of respect for. I believe she will end up going a long way in the Lord! Enjoy your Christmas!!

We Wish You ALL a Truly Blessed Christmas
and May 2006 be Your Best Ever Year!
