Favorite YouTube and GodTube Clips

Our latest addition to the family blog is embedding some of our favorites videos (youtube stuff) that can be played inside the blog. To see some things funny and serious by scrolling half way down the left column.
Video description:

  1. Wyatt Jean (son of Patrick & Crystal Jean - New Life members) giving his performance of the Johnny Cash's "Rings of Fire"
  2. Slingshot Youth is a small clip of and outdoor adventure ride back woods style. I found this on a site called GodTube.com
  3. Nascar is an mini episode in the life of Tavin. If you like this one the series can be found at sweetteafilms.com . We laughed our heads off. My favorite line is "it's cold as a milkshake out here..."
  4. Freedom by Jason Upton is a live worship video of a song that ministers to my spirit each time I listen and watch it.

Guitar Hero


As a normal teenager, I've always enjoyed playing video games, but sometimes you get tired of mashing random buttons to win. I found a cure for that by the new game "Guitar Hero". The point of the game is to hold down different buttons according to the song and strum the "strings" (another button-like trigger) to play it. They take old rock songs like "Smoke on the Water", "Iron Man", and "Crossroads". I think it's one of the coolest concept for a video game in a while. I highly recommend it.

AWANA is so cool!


Hello Blog Viewers, I just came home from one of the coolest events for kids and youth I have ever seen (I've been in it since preschool). If you haven't seen the title, it's AWANA. AWANA stands for approved workmen are not ashamed and is a really cool program because of the scripture memorization and incorporating it with fun and games. Our church has AWANA for preschool through high school. I'll be posting again soon. Bye

Duct Tape The Best Stuff On Earth


Hello everyone, This week since it was spring break I refined my duct tape abilities by making lots of stuff. I'm going to attach some pictures of them. Let me know what you think and give me some new ideas. I think I am beginning to find out how to make poka-dots . I've also found that it's hard to deal with sticky tape in a car going 70 on the interstate. But now I must go back to school and restrain myself from making anything else till my homework is done.

Wonderful Easter

Freda and I have come to the agreement that we enjoy and would like to make Easter the most important holiday celebration. Over Christmas with all the commercialization and busyness we like Easter because of the New Life Christ provides. It is even revealed in nature as everything is in bloom and alive. This year was one of the best Easter weekends so far for the following reasons:

  • Fellowship with Freda's side of the family (very relaxing and lots of fun)
  • Best Sunrise service I can remember (even though it was 20 degrees outside - we came inside after a few minutes in the cold to a warm sanctuary and Spirit
  • Both Worship Services were a blessing as the Choir set the tone with power and excitement
  • Our good friends the Gordons being our guest at worship, lunch and afternoon cards (Hand & Foot - the guys always win - haha)
  • To cap off the weekend our family was reunited with the Adams-Page clan through email. Praise God for good freinds.
I would be interested to hear your comments about which Christian holiday you perfer and why. Just click the comments link at the end of this post.

Drummonds Family Fun

Hello everybody, Well this weekend we went with the Drummonds side of the family to Gatlinburg. Once I got there we played with my cousins and went to the clubhouse and ate a home made meal made by my Aunt, Uncle and some of my cousins and had fun in their game room and exercise room. The next day we all ate breakfast together and headed off to Dollywood and got to go on the new ride "The Mystery Mine". We all left and different times and ate supper separately and then came back to the room and played some board games while my little cousin Katie colored eggs. The next morning my cousin and my brother accidentally woke me and my other cousin up. But as I went to go take my shower in the other building it was snowing very lightly but it was still snowing. Nothing stuck but it was pretty to watch. Then we packed up and checked out and played again in the game room and I beat my cousin by almost double on a game I just learned. Then we said our goodbyes and headed home. It was so much fun.
