For now...

  So, it`s been forever. I know. But here we go. I`m not even really posting anything exciting because I don`t really have time, but just thought I would say that I will hopefully be back sometime soon to post an in-depth something or another. Maybe. Hopefully sooner rather than later. But anyway, I`ll just leave you with this "song" by Beautiful Eulogy. Although it`s more like a sermon jam. But anyway, you should definitely check out their music, reeeeeaally good stuff. Gets you thinking. In fact, you can get BOTH of their albums for FREE on Noisetrade right here. Anyway, I`ll post the video now.

Something Greater video...

   Yeah, so just last night we went to our drummer`s house and rocked it out. And no, this is not our only song, we have many more, but this is probably our favorite one just to JAM to. I think that`s why there`s so many videos of this song, but here`s another one for you. I encourage you to watch it. It`s fairly entertaining. I think South Pole even drops a drum stick.

John Piper sermon jam

     Ok, so I know by personal experience that people don`t usually watch the videos that people post on their blogs. And if they do watch it, they only watch about the first few seconds or so. But I really really really think that you should watch this one. It`s really good. It was something that I needed to hear and I didn`t even realize it. Oh, how sweet it is to KNOW that God is sovereign over EVERYTHING. Lately it`s been kinda hard for me to really trust and rest in this awesome truth due to my bro`s situation for the past six months or so. But it seems that every time I have just a little doubt, or I`m scared, God shoves the truth of His sovereignty right back in my face again. There is not a square inch on this planet that Jesus Christ does not declare: MINE. My God is so good!!! He makes plans to prosper us and not to harm us!! No matter what it looks like to us. So, I know this video is kinda longish, but please give it a listen.





      Cheers,

Colorado and cousins and stuff

     Hello again. Well, Colorado was AWESOME but I`m horrified to say that we did not take a single picture. Not a single one. So, sorry about that. I really wish we would`ve because we had such a grand time, but no. T-bird and I had a crazy, but awesome time with our cousins whom we have been pretty much best friends with since birth. :) Ever since we were little we`ve had the the nickname the Peanuts, and it just kinda stuck. So, even now when almost all of us are in high school (Lauren`s got one more year in middle school), we four cousins are still the Peanuts. Pretty awesome. Haha. Here are a few pics that somewhat capture our weirdness when we`re together.

The Peanuts. And Eddie Joe. From L to R: T-bird, Lauren, me, Abby, and Eddie Joe.

Abby. Haha.

The Peanuts goin` swimming at the legendary Johnson Lake.

In the kiddie pool.

TUBING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D

Our band. The Peanuts.

Yeah. Don`t ask.

Peanuts in the brig.

Us singing some sort of song in one of our "concerts." ;) Not sure why we were wearing toilet paper.

DISNEY WORLD

At the pool. :)

JOHNSON LAKE!!!!

Takin` Lauren down!

Yeah. No comment...

      So, yeah, sorry we didn`t take any pictures while we were there, but I hope you enjoyed looking at all the wacky pics of us from the past several years. They are such awesome cousins!! Anyway so the wedding was great, Eddie Joe and Peaches nailed it (close enough anyway), and we played telephone pictionary. Fantastic game by the way, you should definitely google it and play it sometime. Alright, I will now leave you with a skit that me, T-bird and my cousins did last year. Again, beware the weirdness.

Mr. Nmit: Back in Pink

   So, I assume you all have watched the legendary Mr. Nmit a.k.a. "Pink Freak" video made by us Twinkies, Bertrum, and Katie. But...have you seen the sequel?? I will post both of them for your viewing pleasure. And before you watch them I have to say that the first one was pretty much impossible to top, so, the second one isn`t as good, but still, please watch it. :D









   Hope you enjoyed these!! ;) =D Have an awesome rest of the week!!!!!

Buffering and other things

Don`t you hate it when a video does this?! AHHH!!! Haha and now this song will be stuck inside your head. Which reminds me of another Julian Smith video, but I won`t post it. =) I am bummed because our drama class is OVER!! :`( Both performances went really well, although I must say I think the second crowd was better. The whole day was a blast. We guys were using a preschool room for our dressing room and we found this stuffed teddy bear that we named Bertrum, in honor of Jack. So, we were super bored and we took a bunch of pictures with it.

The Big C always wanted a teddy bear!

South Pole showing his gentle, loving side.

T-bird, eh, not so much.

But he started warming up to him...

...and they ended the day best friends.

But I needed no convincing.

I knew Bertrum and I would get along just fine.

And, of course, pictures with Something Greater.

     Yup. We were bored. With lots of energy. Anyway, expect a post from T-bird soon. It will be a breath of fresh air after all this video and ridiculous picture-posting. :) So, I will convince him to write soon. ;) Have a great day!!

Videos.....

      Check out these awesome videos featuring Something Greater and a really randomly epic video made by Bertrum, Katie, Sunshine, T-bird, and myself. So please, enjoy. :D








  Hope you liked these videos!! :) Have an awesome day!!!! :D :D

Family Fun......until it rained

   
 

   Haha I really like that picture. I kinda stole it, but, oh well. I`m Back... :) Anyway, that was really random, but what I really wanted to say was we went to Bacon Creek Park last night as a family. We thought, "Oh this`ll be so much fun and it`s not supposed to rain till, like, 8 or 9:00. We`ll be good." Or so we thought. Yeah, we were there for about twenty minutes and it started raining. Oh well. We did have some fun while we were there. :)

Not sure what Eddie Joe`s looking at...

We played an intense game of Monster. As you might be able to tell, I was the monster in this picture.

Although, I don`t think I ever caught anybody.

Pretty awesome bird picture, I think...

     Then, after it rained, there was a really cool rainbow. We were driving when it came out, but my dad managed to get this picture at a stoplight.

    Not as cool as the real thing, but, that`s the closest we got. =) The lighting was pretty awesome when we got home, so my dad took some pictures of the house.

Our new cream siding!! with our very white garage doors. Hopefully, we will paint them soon. :D

   Well, I hope you enjoyed the pictures of our somewhat failed family outing. And remember to never trust the weather man. Oh, and if any of you haven`t heard of the banana sketch, you haven`t lived yet. ;) I will post the Mr. Nmit video soon. Signing off with a joke,

Have you ever heard the bed joke?

No, I haven`t.

Well, that`s probably because it hasn`t been made yet. --courtesy of Jack

Death is dead

         Jesus Christ is alive. And death is dead. Death is dead. I meant to post this yesterday, but, watch this video:






Happy Belated Easter!!




--Rye Bread

Wow......

Yup. The title is pretty much what went through my mind when I saw that the last time I posted was January 13th. Pretty sad. So, never fear, I am still alive; although, I`m kind of surprised that I am after having a sinus infection, influenza A, and a stomach virus. But, enough excuses. I`m not really sure what this post is supposed to be about, but I just thought I would let everyone know that I am still aware that I have a blog. I was going to put pictures on the computer, but, I`m too lazy. Perhaps some other time. We went to Ginger`s birthday party a couple weeks ago and it was a blast!! Wisely, we decided to pull an all-nighter. Yeah, never mind about the whole wisely thing. It probably wasn`t the best idea. It doesn`t really mix with influenza very well. But, anyway, another thing is that I am SO excited for a bunch of people from my church (including my dad and sister) to go on a missions trip to Ethiopia!!! It`s gonna be so cool to hear about what God shows them while they`re there. If you want to read more about it, go to room for more, our family`s blog. Oh and I think that you should check out Hebrews 9. Me and my sister agree that it is one of THE coolest chapters. It gives me chills every time I read it. But, yet again, I`m too lazy to post it for you guys. You`ll just have to read it yourself. ;) Sorry for all the random rambling, but, I needed to post something. =) I hope you all had a fantastic Valentine`s Day and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. :D I will now leave you with this awesome song.
