summer

Hey, I decided I would let everyone know what IM doing in the next while. For the summer I am going to be at camp for 6 weeks to be a counselor. The camp that I work at is mainly for unprivileged kids. The kids come for the reserves in the area. So it can be very challenging at times, so if you could pray that would be great. But this week is busy as I have grad tomorrow, convocation on Friday, I leave for camp on Sunday, and I still have to go shopping for camp and for school this week. But I am very excited to meet you guys in a little over 2 months.

Kyle

every group has a kyle...everyone has a firend named kyle... just try prove me wrong.

Question for all.

Alrighty...so just trying to keep things rolling here....

what is everyone's fav. movie? I know that's a hard one to answer, so lets go with top 3 movies instead.

For me....

(3) Band of Brothers (ok i know it's a televsion show...but lets not get picky here)
(2) Zoolander
(1) The emperor's new groove.

Some others that didn't make the cut...Toy Story (1), The disney version of Robin Hood, Austin Powers: Goldmember (i laugh so hard every time), and maybe A Walk to Remmeber, although everytime i watch it, it just seems cheesier and i remember how crappy the acting actually is. But i like the story.

So what's your favs?

peace

Hey Kaleo 06/07!
So I work at a daycare with some pretty awesome yet sometimes annoying kids. I’m gonna miss them sooo much when Kaleo starts (Not even 3 months till Kaleo starts!!!! WOOT!); but I know that Kaleo is what God wants me to do. Anyhow, there’s this kid at the daycare named Aiden who’s 5. (I know at the daycare we’re not supposed to have favorites but Aiden’s one of my many favorites.) I found out on Monday that his dad left this past weekend and is probably never coming back. Aiden came to the daycare that morning saying that he’s never gonna be picked up by his dad again. And his mom told my boss what had happened. Something that makes it even harder on especially Aiden’s mom is that her and her husband have been trying to have another child since Aiden was born and now she’s pregnant…. perfect time for her husband to pick up and leave…. Aiden has been ok so far, but things get to him easier now. I just thought I’d ask you all to pray for Aiden and his mom that they’d be able to get through this hard time and that there would be a good male role model who would be there for Aiden.

On another note, if you have time could you please pray for me too? I’ve had a hard past couple months. Satan has really been trying to pull me down. I hate to admit it, but it’s working. It’s been so hard just to be happy and enjoy the simple things in life. And it’s been even harder to turn to God…especially when I need Him most. I haven’t really talked to many ppl about this cuz…I guess I’m kinda stubborn and I keep thinking that I can fix this on my own. Well, I’ve learnt that if I keep believing that, I might as well jump off a bridge believing I can fly. So my brother (who is currently working at Camp Qwanoes) came out last week. I talked to him about what was going on and I talked to my best friend as well. So it’s good to know that they’re praying for me. I just thought it’d be good to ‘call in the forces’ so to speak. That’s it, thanks for taking the time to read.

Your sis in Christ, Keerstin

Attention Alberta

hey guys, i got this new job, thats taking me all over alberta, which sure beats driving all over saskatchewan... anyways, im writting to say if youre from alberta you should definitly leave me a message (including what city youre in) and if things work out maybe we can meet up before kaleo even begins. unfortunatly i wont even make it out to the island this year, but that doesn't mean we should just forget about each other... and im hoping to see most of you out at YQ07, it'll be a good time i promise.
aside from that, im just south of Calgary right now, 1 more night i think, which means im about 45 minutes away from kendall, so we got together this weekend. And as i told field, you wont even notice im missing, shes way cooler than me anyways, haha. but seriously guys, shes rockin, with an obvious passion for God, you're in good hands. but defenitly keep in touch, im praying for all of ya,

in his love,

rob

Beck - Odelay






















Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabyes to Paralyse
























Sam Roberts - Chemical City

























The Flaming Lips - At War with the Mystics






















AFI - December Underground













that was actually really hard...im listening to way more too...but thats the top five for now

obviously some of you heathens will be downloaders and not be listening to specific albums...then just top five artists at the moment with do nicely

Hey dudes!

Well i have been reading through some of the other posts that have been put up and i have realized that i didn't really give my story. (or "testimony" if you speak christianeze) I said a lot about myself but not really anything about my faith and stuff....so here we go...

Well my story isn't too interesting i guess. I was born into a christian family, the second of four boys (ya my mom has fun) and ever since i was little i have heard about God's love and i have had two amazing parents to act as examples of it for me. But in some ways growing up in a christian household has had it's own negative aspects. I tihnk that because i have heard about God and jesus and all that good stuff ever since i was little, i started to become kinda numb to it all around the end of grade 8 and the start of highschool. I don't know what it was, but i guess i just started to get bored with all of the same stories and all of the same "don't do this" lessons that i heard in youth group every week. It didn't seem real to me. In that time period i had my own share of "questionable" activities, but if i could go back and undo anything that i have done, i don't think i would. I wouldn't be the same person that i am today. I wouldn't know the things that i do.

But to make a long story short, Things started to look bettter for me probably at the start of grade 12....so almost 2 years ago i guess. Our church got a new youth pastor and i guess its the way he presents things, but it seems so real and honest and sincere when he talks. He doesn't come at things with the attitude that he knows it all. We get together and talk about things all the time and a lot of the time i'm left to figure things out for myself, which i love. It's tough at the time, and some times i wish i could just get the three step solution..but God has a funny way of letting me know what's up. He's pretty good at that.

But ya i don't know where i'm going with this now. I might be the worst writer in the world...i get distracted pretty easily. My brother just walked into my room making dinosaur noises and clawing at me. I live in a nut house!!!!!

I think that the one bible verse that has really helped me perticulary in this past year is proverbs 16:9 "in his heart a man plans his course, but the LOrd determins his steps." This past year has been probably the craziest of my life. Before being excepted into Kaleo i was in training to work with refugees in Australia...but then i guess i felt God leading me away from there. I didnt' know what was up at the time but i just went with it...and now i think i have the sweetest year ever coming up. Tonnes of crap has happened... (ie. breaking up with my grilfriend.....twice!) but this verse has helped me realize that there is someone better for me out there and God knows what's up. even though i very rarely do.

So...longest post ever...but that's kinda my story...

oh and one of my other fav. sayings...."life's a garden....Dig it!". It's from Joe dirt. he has it on his t-shirt.

Anyways. Shutting up now

peace.

The Wizard Turns on the Giant Silver Flashlight and Puts on His Werewolf Moccasins...

So i sat down to blog because i wanted the honour of being the 75th post on our bloagspooten!

here is a poem

n-umber seventy fifth
O-n the sixth six o sixth!
w-hat a suprise

t-hat this blog disguise
h-urray i bought a new cd
a-fi it sure is good and im greedy
t-he flaming lips i also bought

t-he queens of the stone age are also hot
h-ere my purchasing i did end
a-nd then some spammail i did send
t-o all my kaleo blogging mates

i- made some rather useless crates
s-o this here poem is quite long

d-on't yell at me that would be wrong
o-ne thing that i have yet to say
n-ever ask for that which i cannot pay
e-lse BUCKET MAN be on the way


so bucket man is this super(ish) hero that Alayna and i made up
he robs dollar stores and brings a bucket to carry all the change because we decided that dollar stores shouldnt carry bills
and his super power is putting the bucket on his head which dumps out all the change but makes him invisible to those chasing him
unfourtunately the observant chaseur would notice the pile of change
we hadnt got that far yet




i win!

this is my 16th post...

the end
