Catching Up

Every once in a while my life gets really busy, which is great for me, because I love to be doing things, but without downtime to blog, you readers don't get to hear about all the cool stuff I'm doing.

Before I forget...Happy New Year!!

Bringing an end to 2008 was a great experience, I attended a youth conference in San Jose, thanks to Korean Baptist Church of San Jose!! One of the volunteers with my youth group at the River attended KBC, and was able to hook myself, and one other of the River youth, Kassy, up with hotel rooms and everything. I became part of the KBC group, which was really fun. The conference was "Tsunami" and the theme was Phillipians 4:12. The speakers were Will Snipes and Chris Simning, music was provided by Charlie Hall Band, Addison Road, and KUTLESS! All the bands were pretty cool, the talks were typical youth conference fare. "God is more than enough, once you trust him". There is nothing wrong with that, but I was hoping for more. The best part about the conference I would say was hanging out with the other kids.

The conference lasted 2 1/2 days, ending on the 31st. While at the conference, I went to sleep between 1:30 and 2:30, and got up at 7:15. To celebrate New Year's Eve, my youth group had a party. A small party. A party of eight. That phrase is typically applied to groups of people going out to eat, not New Year's Eve partys. The highlight was the discovery that those little fireworks that you throw and then they pop can pop on body parts. Elbows and knuckles are ideal.

The Liberia trip is looking interesting. Plans changed, in the middle of a meeting about the trip (thank you wonder of technology!). One voicemail and SHAZAM! the event will be held  in a suburb of Monrovia, the capital city. Jacob's Town, here we come!

I love running. As part of my New Year, I totally redid the schedule I wasn't using, and included time for blogging and excercising. By excercising I mean running to a local trail, running the trail, doing some push-ups/sit-ups and running home. But there is something invigorating about running, a simplicty that cannot be found in many other places. Oh yeah, I run at night, so everything is dark and cold and wet.

Now a bit for you, dear readers. I realized that I write what I think is important, if I mention something in passing you think would be cool to hear more about, leave me a comment. I will also start posting pictures (not of me) but just things I see that I think are cool. I think first some art.

Good Night!
