Kingdom Bound - The Recap

Last week Ben Davy and I went south of the boarder to check out Kingdom Bound 2011. This was my first time going to the U.S so I was excited all round.

After a stop in Niagara Falls (there's another first) which is full of flashy colors and larger then life signs (two things I love) we found ourselves in Darrien Lake N.Y.

I could bore you with all the details

- The roller coaster I still regret going on

- The hat I lost on said roller coaster

- How said hat actually helped me in my walk with God (I am not kidding... it's a whole other story).

- How I found said hat (see other story)

But, I'll cut to the chase and talk bands.

On the Sunday I got to check out Classic Petra. I'll admit it, I liked it. After hearing them I now realize how they have allowed other bands like House of Heroes and Anberlin to grow and thrive.

Newsboys headlined Sunday night. Crazy. Rotating drums, floating platforms a performance of

Jesus Freak.

My favorite show was Skillet, I will never forget how loud the screaming got when they did Monster or how excited I got when they started Savior.

My favorite band was House of Heroes. They didn't use any tracks as far a I could tell (backing instruments on cd), they also had 4 part harmonies and did In the Valley of the Dying Sun (one of my favorite House songs).

All in all... it was great!

Me with House of Heroes!!!!!

Group Therapy Thursday July 28th

Tonight on Group Therapy Thursday we were helping out Trevor. He has a friend in grade 10 that is saying he will not be returning to school this fall. How do you think Trevor should deal with his friend?

Here's what you said ...

Epic Waste of Time

O.K. Before you get into this post, I will admit, it is rather shallow. There is no moral at the end.

But, if you have

a. 8 minutes to burn or b. A lunch break coming up, this is the post for you.

As a kid I played a lot of Super Mario Bros. I was terrible at it, but that didn't matter! The challenge of finally getting to World 4 was enough for me.

Apparently that didn't quite do it for this guy. Not only did he beat the game (it was possible?) he did so with the lowest score of all time... ya. Someone had a little too much time on their hands!

The Pup

After a few months of waiting, a Talk Back Tuesday on a name and a bit of prayer, my family welcomed a new member on Saturday. Judging by the content of the other blogs you may be thinking baby.

You are right.

But, not a baby human... a baby dog (as

the title of this entry kinda indicates).

His name is Cody-Bear. He is a Bouvier.

The one with the sheep is my favorite. Thanks to my sister for the pictures.

I wonder if my cat does this???

Hmm... you have to wonder what our cats are really doing when we are away from home... do they all lead double lives?

Ahh YouTube, what bizarre and pointless videos line your pages...

The Storm of the Century

O.K so that was a slightly exaggerated title... but it got you to read this post didn't it?

Anyway, last Friday was a bad one in central Ontario. We had an brutal storm system rip though most of the listening area causing quite a bit of damage.

This damage was close to home for me as my family's farm was hit mega hard. A tree missed the house by feet. The car just barely

dodged one as well, not to mention my Mom and Sister who were going for a walk and got stuck in the middle of the storm. Praise God no one was hurt! Now

it's time to clean up the mess of branches on the lawn!
