Tonight

Tonight we are going to play for the talent show at the High School. I am playing with Super K, Belle, Doon, and also another song with Laura. We are going to be playing at the high school itself, and because of this we seem to have been having a difficult time getting ready. First of all we are playing a song by the Newsboys, and it is totally different from anything we have ever done before. We have also not had very much time to practice and are not feeling super ready for this. There has been a lot of extra stuff going on during this time with school and all of our extra activities. There has been a lot of doubt among us as to whether or not we are doing the right thing. Also, I have been dealing with hopelessness myself. I feel that this is because part of what we are coming up against is the hopelessness in the school. I need to go right now but please pray.

Dog Bites.

First of all I would like to let you all know that several weeks ago I was attacked by a vicious man eating German monster. The name Shepperd is not at all applicable, thus monster. (As a side note I was not messing with this monster's sheep, therefore I am not at fault.) I was simply walking by completely unaware and doing nothing to provoke it and all the sudden my leg was in the iron grip of a vicious beast. Luckily due to my amazing running and screaming abilities I was able to get away from the monster with only slight wounds.

In reality, it was a really old German Shepperd that has a thing for tall thin guys, so at least I have a good physique.

Rambling on about who knows what

I had a busy weekend, but it was good. I know that I haven't posted much lately. I have a theory about that. Blogging is a winter sport and when spring time roles around you simply lose the momentum that was once so strong. I promised that I would let you guys know more about the conference, so here goes.

The second night was awesome. Pastor Eric Reeder is one of the leaders of the emerging generation. He spoke that night, and it was very powerful. His heart is for this generation and to see us walk in our destiny. One of the best things about this is that he is not advocating the usual, the youth need to rebel against the oppression of the older generations. He is instead saying that we need to work together with the older generation in order to see true transformation in the church.

If anybody is not following this at all let me know and I will try to make it clearer.

We have a destiny to change our country. God is going to start moving in each of our lives in ways that we have never seen before. You may not think that you can make a difference, and you may not even want to make a difference, but I believe that God has other plans. Give me any reason you want about how we are too young, or the government can never change, or the moral decay has gone to far, and I have to tell you that the God I serve is bigger.

I guess that is all for now. This is also what I call my rambling format, so if anything needs clarified, let me know.

And thus I succumb

I appear to have given into peer pressure, and it has been quite fun reading reading all of your wonderful comments in the meantime. I wonder if I will get this much traffic on my blog by just writing? I would like to quote a very famous person who once said that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I have no idea who this person actually was, however they must have been famous because I have heard that one a lot.

As most of you know, I am currently at a church conference in Marietta, OH. It has been really good so far. The focus so far seems to be on connecting the generations. For those of you who do not understand this, it is all about the older people, or the current generation, working with us younger people, known as the emerging generation.

The really cool part is that everything that they are talking about in this conference is stuff that we are already doing here at home in COTK.

We have had a lot of fun here, and it is really good. I will let you guys know of anything else I think about, although I do need to go right now.

Talk to you guys later.

I'm not even done with high school!

You paid attention during 100% of high school!

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

I'm am truly sorry that it has been so long since I have updated, as well as being a long time since I have read some of your blogs. I repent right now and will do my best to get back into the swing of things.

I have been fairly busy lately, although really not any more so than is normal. I went with a large group of friends to see Karolyn and Sylvia's show on Saturday. They were awesome!! I won't try to gloss over some of the show but the girls were really good.

Today the weather is beautiful. I haven't been able to go on a bike ride like I wanted to, but the weather is still great. I love the springtime. All of my flowers come up, and life is so evident. I like the winter as well, but this is the time of year where every time the weather forecast is for below freezing weather, I get a little bit worried about my plants.

I love my family. This may seem like a rather duh sort of thought to those who know me, but it is so true. I do care for my friends, and some of them have become almost like extended family. When it comes down to it though, my parents and siblings are the ones who are always there when I need them, and I love each and every one of them so much.

Even though I often get annoyed with them, I wouldn't trade them for the world. This is a picture of me and my siblings at the zoo. We went I believe in January on one of the days when the weather was great.

Well, that is all for now.

I might as well go ahead and post since I sort of left things hanging. The last day of the musical was last Sunday. Michael was able to say most of his lines, however, I had to go ahead and sing for him. This was slightly less stressful than the day before just because I knew what was going on. During intermission though we had a little scare. Michael didn't know whether or not he would be able to say his lines for the second act due to his voice wearing out. I went ahead and read the first scene for him because he didn't really want the director to have to do it again. It went really well and he was able to do the rest of the show.

That was it for the show, I got nice gifts, lots of complements, etc... The next day I woke up sick. Blah. That is why I haven't updated until know. I have been rather out of it. The good news is that I am officially caught up with all of my homework and have none to do over the weekend. It is late so this is all for know. Signing out,

Daniel
