vice presidency = prisoner of war

In California, McCain compares vice presidency to being a prisoner of war: "'As far as me and the vice presidency is concerned ... I spent a number of years in a North Vietnamese prison camp in the dark and (was) fed scraps, and I don't know why I would want to do that all over again,' McCain said at a rally in San Diego. "

On Sunday, McCain joked about being wooed by both Republicans and Democrats -- "next will come the Libertarian and vegetarian sides," McCain said.



Ok, those two quotes were really funny, now I have to go.



AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, Cubs fans . . . again

ESPN.com: Page 2 - Sorry, Cubs fans . . . again

Ok, had to post this, just a word of caution, use a soda cap instead of a beer cap. Makes parents much hapier.

Farewell

Well, this will be last post for a couple of days (at least).  Tomorrow I leave for Oakland California, we thought about going to Chicago, but decided to see a real team play instead.  The after a few days there, it’s onto Phoenix Arizona.  For those of you who haven't heard me mention this with every other sentence I use, I did an internship there a couple of years ago and look forward to seeing everyone again.  I’m just not sure if they look forward to seeing me  =)
 
Anyway, we leave at 6:30 in the morning, so I will not be here in the morning.  If i see a reply before bed tonight, I might say something.  If not, Asa, I leave this in your capable hands.  If Martin gets out of hand, I expect you to head up to Missouri and pretend that he buys things from spam emails.

Yeah, so the above is not mine, but I found it really funny.

Oh and somehow I think I will stay at Lakeview Community Church even if a spongebob branch opens in Stillwater. (Yes I just did a search to see how sponges reproduce hoping for something funny to say here, let me tell ya, there is nothing funny about sponge reproduction.)

Just like the cubs

Just like the cubs, wrigley field is falling apart mid season.

It's so much fun knowing that a cub fan reads this  =)

My Great Loss (AKA YFN 04)

WOW, when we last talked, I had a full head of vibrant hair.  That’s right, Vibrant.  However, the combination of Falls Creek and YFN was just too much for it.  For now, all of my beautiful vibrant hair lies in a trash bag somewhere in Dallas. 
 
Now, for those of you who are constantly looking for a reason to laugh at me (Martin, I'm looking at you and your group right now) I will post pictures as soon as I can, hopefully before leaving on vacation this coming Thursday.
 
Now to get serious.  YFN was great.  I consider it a great honor for God to allow me to see Him move twice in two weeks, and I pray that these experiences carry over into future youth meetings.  I should probably type more than that, but I'm tired, so............. BUGGER OFF!!!!! 

Best Picture Ever

Yeah, so really Im just testing this, but come on. Who couldn't use a little more Huddy in thier lives? Except american league batters that is.

Falls Creek 04

QUICK, click HERE


Ok, with that out of the way, let me tell you about last week. Last week I had the privilege of attending Falls Creek with Glenstone Baptist Church. This was I believe my 9th year at Falls Creek, being a sponsor for six of those. Although I am cheating on one of the years, I only spent a day and a half at FC last year and I was probably technically a guest, but in my eyes I am always in charge so who cares.

Hey, back to what is important. We had 3 salvations last week, which was awesome, and if any of those three are reading this, I want you to know I am proud of you and praying that you continue to grow in your relationship with Jesus. We also had a student commit her life to ministry. To this student all I can say is I know what lies ahead for you, and I am sorry. For those of you who can't tell, I'm kidding. When called to it, there is nothing better than full time ministry.

In addition, I grew personally in my walk with God. Last week was a time of teaching for me, I taught the morning in cabin studies, and a time of prayer. While it was great to be teaching again, most of my growth came in the area of prayer. For many of us prayer is something that we do because we are supposed to, and then we sit back and hope God answers it. However I got to experience prayer as an exciting thing, and I got to see very quick results from it. Nothing is as exciting as knowing that you prayed for something one night, and then seeing it happen the next day.

Well it's time to pack for camp this week, we leave early tomorrow. For those of you who went to camp with me last week, feel free to post a comment below, I promise Asa dosn't bite.....often. You can just say hi, or even share your experiences from camp if you wish. Also, in addition to commenting, be in prayer for me and my church during the next week. Specifically pray that we see God's power in the area of salvations, just like we did last week.

Until I get back next week remember, same bat time, same bat channel.

Yeah, I had to do that

It's Magic

Northwest Indiana News: nwitimes.com - News: Chew on this: "The gesture was part of an elaborate plan cooked up by boyfriend Magic Mackeigan, who left town Thursday morning on a flight to Texas and was unavailable for comment."

---------------------------

Ok, so the story is cool and threatened to be my subject. However, check out the boyfriends name. Magic Mackeigan. I bet his parents purchase items sold in spam email messages.
