Foreverandever etc.?

Okay, this may be the weirdest thing I've ever seen...but it doesn't make David Crowder* Band anything  less than the best Christian band ever. Foreverandever etc. Music Video.

Prayer, NEEDTOBREATHE, David Crowder, Etc.

Okay, so I heard a little while ago that there were some bad wildfires in Colorado, but when we see a picture like this, we know what our job is....PRAY!!!

This is more than a wildfire, this is A MONSTER!!
Please pray for Colorado. It has also been 100 F. with 65 MPH winds.

Yes, this is a real picture.

Another matter of Prayer: My twin brothers are having Hernia Surgery tomorrow. They will be the first children in our family to have surgery (both of them have the same condition...it must be a twin thing). Thanks so much!


One last thing before I go into song mode: a couple of my friends are going to Italy and Israel for like a month...so they will be posting some really cool stuff. To follow them, go here. Okay, into song mode.

I have a friend that loves this NEEDTOBREATHE song, so I listened to it and loved it. Hope you like it as well.

Pretty good, huh? Another song I am enjoying is the David Crowder* Band song, "Foreverandever etc." It's older...but it's good. You can look that up sometime if you like. It's very good, trust me. God bless!

Catching Up on a couple things:

Okay, sorry I haven't been posting recently. We've been really busy here. The U-Turn for Christ Pig roast was awesome. It was an extreme blessing. Next: We sang 3 dates at our churches VBS and throuout the week saw like 200 kids get saved. Praise the Lord! Last night we were able to go to Sizzlers as a family which is something we don't normally get to do. Man, that was good. We are also singing at the CCCC's free 4th of July outreach...which is open to everybody from 3 to not sure how late it goes. Also on Thursday, the VBS we sang at featured a family that has a ministry, like ours, but they do magic tricks. We ended up visiting with them for like the rest of the day, which ws also a blessing. Go here for information on them. Here's some pictures of a couple things:

That looks like a good meal! :)

Catching Up On A Couple Things...

Okay, I'm sorry I have not been posting very much but here's a post to catch up on a few things: We sang at the U-Turn Pig Roast, which went great and was a total blessing. We ended up not singing the next day, because, somehow, we got moved up to Monday...which is all good. We will be staying at the Bible college all week next week to sing for a VBS (go here to find out more about that). It is free and we would love to see you there. It was really nice weather this morning in Murrieta. Cloudy and cool. Well, I guess that's all for now. God bless!

Pig Roast

Hey guys. Today we are going out to U-Turn for Christ to sing for their 17th annual alumni reunion pig roast to do praise and worship. We are scheduled for 3:00 to 4:45 I believe. It is free and open to all. If you would like to come, go to uturnforchrist.com/pig-roast for more information. Hope to see you there! Then Sunday we are going to church, then that evening back to U-Turn to do praise and worship for the evening Bible study. We love U-Turn. I guess that's all for now! God bless!

So Exactly How Much Is Happening Here, Anyway?

More than the last post. This afternoon my mother taught her drama class, Caught Up Production...which is always fun and always a blessing. This Saturday our family is singing at the U-Turn for Christ pig roast. Looking forward to that. We will be very busy during the summer, so  will keep you posted on everything we do. I can't believe it's starting to warm up already....I can't believe we're already halfway through the year. Has anyone seen the Avengers yet? Let me know what you think of it by commenting on this post. God bless you all!

Showers + Pipes + Tree Watering System = A Long Day

Today, we did go down to Riverside and helped a friend with plumbing. After that, we went to another friend's brother's house and helped them with a few steps to installing a new shower. When we got home (about 10 til 5 PM), we had to dig up a valve to turn off our watering system because it wasn't shutting off on it's own. Do the math, this was a long Saturday. Looking forward to tomorrow (besides waking up at 6 to get ready for church). So....going to Calvary Chapel Bible Fellowship tomorrow in the wine country of Temecula California. Wish to join us? Directions and info are on the website, ccbf.net. Hope to see you there!

Still Nothing

There is still nothing happening here. Just the normal everyday things. We will most likely be going to Riverside tomorrow to help a friend with his new waterheater. If I had anything interesting to say, I would...but I don't now...besides what I read in my Bible today. There was one verse that really stuck out to me: 1 Kings 8:58: "May He (The LORD) give us the desire to do his will in everything and to obey all the commands, decrees, and regulations that He gave our ancestors." This is exactly what God does when we become Christians. He gives us the desire to do his will. My prayer is exactly the same: that God would give me a desire to do His will. So, to keep you busy while you're waiting for me to do something worth talking about, check out these videos that a friend of ours made about our trip to Israel.
