So i'm reading this book on prayer called Praying with power, and it's a really good book, and the auther is lowell lundstrom, and i just think he is awesome, because if i was to write a book, this is how i would write, and i think thats why i like it so much.
But anyways in the book it says, "Surveys by other organizations"(he said that because earlyier he says that one in ten reads the Bible and prays as little as ten minutes a day)" show that the averge Christian family in the U.S. has the TV set turned on more than five hours a day. Is it any wonder that the devil's power is growing stronger and many Christains are growing weaker?
It is quite natural and inevitable writes Dean Inges, that is we spend 16 hours daily of our waking life in thinking about the afairs of the world, five minutes in thinking about god ... this world will seem 200 times more real to us than GOD"
Now if that does not freak you out, then you need help!

Can you worship to anything?
Ok so my dad, Brenny and I were in the car on our way to meet our mom.
And a couple of days before brenny had played a group called the red( and red is like skillet or pillar, those kind of groups), and he said “couldn’t you just worship to this” and I said “no”, and we got into a discoision about what you could worship to, and he said I can worship to anything, and I said that’s impossibale because songs that say stuff that have nothing to do god, songs have to have words about God or or words that invole our love for god or his love for us.
So I think somebody should say what they think about this?
My dad said that because I think the way I do about worship is because of my gifts, and the way brenny thinks is because of his gifts.

Aquire The fire
Ok so Aquire the fire was awesome, not that it all ways isn't, because it is.
And this year Ron Luce came and last year he didn't, so that was awesome. And this year Phil Joel was there, and this is his first year doing this, and he is an awesome singer and teacher, but i really thought his teaching was good. But my favorite thing he said was that when he first came to the states or to a aquire the fire he thought it was awesome because everyone was on fire for God but when he went to church and it was nothing like aquire the fire. and me and Layne were talking about that and we were saying that was so true.
And I all so loved the worship by michael gungor, i always love the worship because i'm always in the sound booth at church, and i always feel like i can't close my eyes to worship because i have to watch everybody on the stage, and i don't sing because i try to listen to see what needs to be adjusted. so thats why the worship to me in all that much better at aquire the fire. and then theres the fact there is a draw to worship.
I really liked Ron Luce preaching more than Mike G. because mostly of what he preached on.
I didn't really care for fireflight or Nevertheless, but i liked Nevertheless better because i could hear the voices, but i didn't really like the lead singers voice for nevertheless, and i liked nevertheless better because i knew some of the songs, not all of them but some of them.
And some thing else that i thought was kind of cool was that friday night Layne had everybody sit down and talk about what they wanted from tomarrow and what the had got out of the first night.
Well tonight is youth and Layne hasn't preached in a couple of weeks because he had to work last week to get time off for aquire the fire. so i'm looking forward to tonight.
Well thats all i got to say for now.

So i'v been listening to my dads message that he preached on wednsday about our Motivational gifts, and i just kept thinking wow that is so me, when he was talking about serving i just kept thinking to my self wow that is so cool, because he was talking about how you like to be just left alone and be by yourself to get something done.
And i thought that, that little "tease" at the end of is message was funny, because i was in the car with him and he would say "thats Layne," and then at the last one he said " this is Cahlen” and the gift was leading, so i thought that was funny.
And something that was funny, was when i took my little test thing, my highest ones were tied, and they were serving and teaching, and i kept thinking, really i have the the gift off teaching, i mean i like to dig in the bible and find stuff though but teaching come on really, me? But when my dad said that it was the whole questions thing, i was like o yeah that makes since.
Right behind my teaching and serving, was leading which i wasn't surprised about.
But i the gift i really wish i had was prohesy, because there so Black and white, and thats' what i like so much about Layne when he preaches is how black and white he is, for example last wednsday he said if you do not fix your selves your going to hell. And i thought that was awesome because Layne was so black and white.
And another gift i wish i had was encourging because of the fact that there so much fun because in the example they were like that was awesome do you want to do that again, and i wish i was like that. And i'm the person that goes how did that happen, how can i make it so that doesn't happen again, and probley many more questions.
So i can't wait for the next message.

the super bowl and some close cussing
WOW what a great super bowl!! And the youth super bowl party was too.
There was one funny thing that happended at the end of the game, Josiah sat in a corner and cried I mean he cried he had tears and his face was red!
So during the game patriots scored with less that 5 minutes to play and brenny, lucas, jo, ethan and josiah all came over to me and started all going “HA” or What, what now”, and me and Cahlen took it but it was mostly all went towrds me becaise I am anti-patriots, I hate the patriots.
So I took all the “ha ha” and said nothing, but when the giants won josaih was sitting in his corner, and I said to jo and lucas “know what do got to say” because neither of them really cared about the game or the teams.
So I said that and Josiah said (more like yelled) “ shut your fucccc” and he stopped and said “ freaking heck up”.
And I really thought he was gunna say the F word it was so close being finished, and his parents were there and they were both up stares, so I think he got off lucky that time but he needs to fix that, but my mouth fell open when he said that, or all most said that. and i looked over and emily was there and she looked suprised too.
But other than that, that was one of the greatest super bowl in a while, that maybe just be because it’s fresh in my mind, but it is cool because a Manning won last year and another one won this year and this year the team was a wild card.

All In All
Ok I’m posting again.
This is going to be a short post but a post nonetheless.
So our family went on the day casting crowns was there. But that day my mom’s cousin’s friend had an extra ticket and offered it to me. But I said no because I don’t really know that guy. But later that night we were stand out side the stadium or what ever it is, because we were going to listen to the concert out side. But when we were heading to where we were meating my mom’s cousin, we ran into mike and jannessa Lock (they were there with a group of teenagers from a camp thing), and they said thay had an extra ticket, and I wasn’t going to go because if it lasted late and everything, but then I talked to my mom & dad and I decided to go, and I was so glad I did because it was awesome, o so so AWESOME, Tree63 was so cool. One of the really cool things about Casting Crowns was the sort of preaching that the lead singer of Casting crowns did. I think I liked what he said so much because he was like youth pastor or something.
The whole concert was awesome.
And nothing else has really happened. Except lots of fishing.
O and for my birthday I got two gerbils. When I was looking at them, at petsmart the guy who was helping us asked if I wanted to hold the rat and dad said to go hold, so I did and I was expecting it’s tail to feel really weird when it was running up my arm, but it didn’t.
But I didn’t get one because they just look weird, and there RATS!!
But when I got my gerbils I got to and when I got them home they wouldn’d stop fight and they got into a fight and one of them started bleeding. So that night I had to one of them in my trash can with some bedding. And the next day we took them back and I got to different one’s. And one is black with a white stripe down its neck and the other on is white. And I haven’t named them yet, I have some ideas for names, but I can’t decide, so if you have any ideas for names please tell me.
TTYL.

The Blackout
Ok so our power went out on Thursday at 4:00 and dad had just got his car stuck an hour before and a guy who lived a mile away brought him home. So after the power went out Brenny, Dad and I went and got a bunch of fire wood and brought it in and put on a blanket to let the snow melt off of it because it was covered in snow, and then when it started to get dark we went and got a bunch of candles and lit em. And for dinner we had peanut Butter & jelly sandwhiches, and Brenny had 5. And then we played a carded a game called Horse Coller and then we were going to play Wizard (another card game) but then my mom say Rook (another card game) so she wanted to play it so we did and it is so much fun, but were missing the rook card but the rule book says we can play with out it, and we played teams, so it was me and dad against Brenny and mom and Brenny and mom killed us. So after playing cards we went to bed and we all slept in the living room next to the fire, and my dad had to get up every 45 minutes to feed the fire, but the bad thing is that he barely got any sleep because he couldn’t get to sleep because the couch is to short for him to stretch all the way out, he said “he was cramped up the whole night”. In the morning I found out that I was the only one who got an ok night sleep. And in the morning Brenny found his face between our small dogs legs. So Friday morning for breakfest we had cereal. And then we played half a game of rook and then had lunch and for lunch we were lucky and had gas in the grill so we made hamburgers, cut potatos and soup and to cook the soup we put it in some bread pans and put it on the grill, it tasted so good compared to peanut butter & jelly sandwhiches. And after lunch we went and shoveled and helped our neighbor get unstuck, and when we came back in mom was tacking a nap so we played a game of up words. And then when mom got up we finished our game of rook and dad and I won. And then it was start it was around 5:00 so we started to get the candles ready and I went and got an emergency thing that had a radio and flashlight so we got that out so we could listen to the weather and some music. And by 6:00 we started to get dinner ready and we made chicken and some green beans on a skillet and some bread on the grill. And then it was starting to get really cold because on Friday morning it was 54 and now it was 50 degrees so we played another game of rook right next to the fire, because all the other times we played crads we played in the kitchen. So asfter playing cards we went and got some more wood for the thrid time that day (we got so much wood, we are almost out now), so after getting wood we went to sleep and my dad got a better nights sleep because we brought Brennys bed out of his room and put it in the living room and dad & mom slept on the bed, and Brenny slept on the couch and I slept on the ground again because I couldn’t sleep on the couch I’m to long like my dad. The next morning we got up and looked out side my window and I was looking at my dad and I could see his breth, and then we looked at how cold it was in the house and it was 46 degrees, and then we saw that the roads finaly got plowed so then we could go to Layne and Saras and get warm and get a shower, and the shower felt so good.
And on Friday unhooked our handset phone and hooked up an old phone so people could call us, and then before we left we hooked up our handset so if the power came on we could call the house and tell if the power was on. And at 2:00 or 3:00 we called the house and the power was on. Because my mom had coupons that she bought from us for ATF.
And after that we went home and the power was on and warm, it was nice.
That was our three days of blackout.

Surgery
Ok, hey everybody, I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I have been kind of busy.
Well yesterday we went to the doctor for my arm, you know that bump on my arm!!
And they said that if I don’t get surgery on my arm then my arm might not grow and my other arm will, or my arm bend and stay like that forever, and because the lump is there I cant bend my wrist one way and the other way I can bend it to far. So we are going to go have another opion from another doctor.
And at youth Layne said that ATF has been moved to Apirl, and now I see that, that was a good thing because If ATF was still in Apirl I would have a cast then or I would be in recovery.
So we think I would have surgery sometime in January, and I would have a cast on for 6 weeks of having it on, and 2 or 4 weeks of recovery.
But the worst part is I won’t beable to do my school.
And when we were at the doctor, the doctor said that I have more to grow.

I Need A Cappichino
Well, sorry it’s been so long since I last posted, but just haven’t wanted too!!
Well I’ll try to start back up!!
Well last week we went to Adventure land, and we as in Dad, Mom, Brendon, joseph, Cahlen and my self.
Went after the marriage breakfast, and when we got there the first ride we went on, was the pirate ship one and for some reason that made my stomach hurt the rest of the day, so after every ride we went on my stomoch would hurt!! Which really stunk because that takes a lot of fun out of the sidewinder!! And all the roller coasters, it stunk!!!
And one of my favorite rides was the Invertor, and I have never been on it before, and we go every year because my dad can get free tickets from his work!! And every year Brenny and Alex would go on all the rides they saw!! And I would not!! So this year I went on some new rides (atleast they were new to me), like the first year they got the side winder, Alex and Brenny went on it and I did not, but the next year I did!! And it was so much fun!! And we go to the circus every year, and this year we were a little late (15-20 minutes late) so we missed some of the stuff, but the stuff we did see was cool!!
And Cahlen and I got bored waiting in line, so we would say yes, no, yes no for a reason, that now is really stupid, but it was fun at that time (it was nothing bad). And when we waiting in line for the Dragon (which is really fun) these to girls came up and said “can we pass, our mom is up there”, and Cahlen went “ NO you have to wait in the back of the line like everybody else” and they started to walk away, and then I saw there mom coming and I said “there’s the mom” and at that very moment Cahlen said “ I’m just kidding”, there face’s were so funny!!!
And when we were there Cahlen had a gyro, and Cahlen gave me a little piece of the meat and there was a little bit of sauce on it and it was so GOOD!!!
And my dad and me did the speed ball game, and neither of us wanted to look stupid so we did not do any thing close to a pitcher’s stance. We just through it. And I got 53 mph and Dad got 43 or 46mph.
And the last thing that happened, was Cahlen, Brenny and joseph went on the splash over, and I couldn’t because I was still not feeling good, And when they were waiting in line, it started to rain, and my mom didn’t like because she was getting really wet!!!
And I found out, that glasses stink when it’s raining!! I just kept cleaning them, and then I decided that I was just going to let them get covered in water!! And after we left Adventure land we went to somewhere, were we could get a hot chocolate, but I mixed it with a cappichino and I handled just fine!! I say that because last two times I had a cappichino I went crazy, I could not stay still, and I was talking a mile a minute!!!
And these past few weeks we have been working on Layne & Sara’s house, getting ready for the twins, and Dad and I have been really been working hard, because mom and Brenny have been doing the painting, and dad and I have been doing stuff like splitting the one big room into two rooms, and Edgy and has been helping out!! Edgy did the framing for us, so Dad and I went and hung dry wall on Saturday and did a few more things!!
And Cahlen, Brenny and I have started puppets back up. And Cahlen and I are kind of in charge of it!!
And Sunday we had youth again, and it was cool to have youth again!! Something is just wrong when there isn’t youth!! And it’s the same with the bible! There is just something wrong when I don’t read my bible!!
But I didn’t like it because Layne had me read out loud, and I can’t stand to do that because it is out of my comfort zone!! And even though Layne is allways saying we need to step out of our comfort zone!! And it’s a lot harder then it seem’s, well atleast for me!!
Well I got to go, so bye

And Sunday we had youth again, and it was cool to have youth again!! Something is just wrong when there isn’t youth!! And it’s the same with the bible! There is just something wrong when I don’t read my bible!!
But I didn’t like it because Layne had me read out loud, and I can’t stand to do that because it is out of my comfort zone!! And even though Layne is allways saying we need to step out of our comfort zone!! And it’s a lot harder then it seem’s, well atleast for me!!
Well I got to go, so bye

To Minnisota And Back
Well our vacation started on Sunday after church, we left around 3:00 and got to minniapolis around 7:30-8:00 and I got to drive for 2 hours. And then we got to my uncle hoops and had Dinner and then went to sleep, and then in the morning we woke up at 5:30 and then left at 7:30 and drove for five hours, and I got to drive for 3 hours, and then my dad drove to the resort, and once we got to the resort it was 1:00 and we couldn’t chech in until 3:00 so brenny went swimming because they (the people who owned the resort) said that we could go and eat lunch on the beach, so brenny went swimming, and he swam to a floating dock and I tuck pictures of him. And they (the resort) had a canoe, a kayak so brenny and I took the canoe out to this island that was along way out there, and then brenny took the kayak out and then I did!! And that kayak is so much fun!! And then we got to get into our cabin and so we unpacked and then we went fishing and I caught 1 crappie and 2 northern pike, and the pike are so much fun, but the crappie fought hard!! And at the end of the day I was the only one that caught fish that day and the next day we woke up at 5:00 (on Thursday) and went fishing and I caught 3 more northern’s and then we went in for lunch and then went back out and need some bug spray so we went back and I decided to fish off the dock when they went and got the bug spray and I caught 1 more northern, and then we went back out and I lost my lure with a spinner on it because I found out that they were bitting on anything with a spinner on it!!! That I caught all my fish on, and then we went drifting and my mom caught 1. And then we weren’t and then my dad got one and it was the biggest one we caught it was 24 inchs and my dad thought there was a limit but at the lake we were at there was no limit on northern’s and we threw back all the one’s but the Crappie I caught, and it had a lot of meat on it. And on the next day we woke at 5:00 and went fishing again but caught nothing again, and when we came back everyone went inside and I kept fishing and and found our last spinner and put it on a fake a rubber fish and caught 4 more fish off the dock. But I lost the spinner. And the day before we went to a town and got another lure and that same day I lost it on some lilly pads and then the next day brenny was in the kayak and found the lure I lost. And then on Firday we went on a fun boat ride. And on Wedsday my dad let Brenny and I drive the boat, that was fun!! And Then on Friday we had to be out of the cabin at 9:00, so then we went back to my uncle hoops and then on Saturday we stopped at Cabela’s (I think that’s how it’s spelled) and stayed there for an hour, and on the way to the cabin we stopped at another Cabelas and at the first one (which is the second one I wrote about) there was a shooting range and that was fun!!
And I got to drive 3 hours home, all the way home from the second (that’s the first one I wrote about) cabela’s, we got some stuff at both Cabelas.
I will try to post some pictures of the resort on my next post!!
Well I got to, Brenny, Dad and I are going to go play some basketball.bye,

Just A Whats Up With Me
Well it has been along time since I last posted.
Well let’s see… since the last ime I posted I got an ipod Nano for my birthday, and it so rocks!! I use it everyday!! And since I last posted I went to those clases that talked about on my last post, and they were stupid, and so simple!!!
And since the last time I posted I got my permit and it is awesome, I got 5 days after my birthday because we had to get a new birthcertifacate and then we went and got it, and I only missed 6 but I should of only missed 5 because one of them was worded weird. And in my picture I look like a monkey!!! And my dad tried to get me to laugh, so I started to laugh and then really fast I had to straighten my face out really fast.
And right after I got my permit me and my dad went driving for 3 hours and the next dad I got to drive for 2 more hours. And tail-gaters are a pain in the but.
And the other day my dad finaly let me drive on the interstate and the trucks are freaky!!
And were going on vaction on Sunday (13th, I think) right after church, and my dad is going to drive until were out of Ames and then I get to drive from there on!!
O yeah were going to Minnesota, and go and see my moms uncle, for a couple of days and then go farther up state and stay on a in a cabin on a lake and do some fishing, that should be awesome!! I can’t wait fishing for three days and we plan on having a whole night of fishing.
And then were coming home Sunday morning, unpack and then go to church.
We will be so tired.
It will be kind of weird not being at church on Wedsday night.
O yeah and I found out that my name is spelled wrong!! my dad wanted my name to be spelled CONNER, but on my birthcertifacate says that my name is spelled CONNOR, so on my permit my handwriting is really bad because that was the first time i have ever spelled my name Connor McGinnis. But i'm still going to spell it CONNER.
Well I’ll try to post when we get back. Bye.

iweb
Well on Thursday (the 6th) we went over to Jeremy & Jessica’s house for dinner, and Jeremy made some killer pork loins (I think that’s what they were), it was so moist.
And on Thursday I went fishing at this pond that is behind us and I went over there and went fishing and caught four large mouthed bass but it was so cool because I could see the fish smiwwimg in front of me, I can’t wait for it to cool down so I can go back.
And then the next night (7th) we went over to the edgecombs for dinner and they made some awesome pork chops, it was fun, and they got some great stories.
Sunday was the pool party and that was fun, but after the pool party we went to the aquatics center that night and that was a lot of fun!! I love the red slide!! But the stupid thing is that the diving board was closed, and the diving board is my favorite thing.
And then on Tuesday I went to Cahlens for the night and day, we went swimming unttil 1:10.
And My Dad signed me up for these classes at the apple store (in two weeks). And the classes are for how to work iweb, (I’v never used I web). I wanted to do the classes on how to do imovie (I know how to us imovie just very fast) but it was all filled up.

I'm So Glad I'm Homeschooled
Well on Saturday Layne, Brenny, Dad and I went golfing. And O man I got so mad a couple (a lot more than a couple) of times. But it was fun. I just love golf!!!
But the funny part is that my dad and I had the same score. And on Thursday Layne and Sara came over and watched Alex and Mariah open there Wedding presents. Kathy and Aaron came over to. But after they were done opening their gifts Layne, Alex, Dad, Brenny and I went outside and started hitting some golfballs and Layne sayed that I have the same form as my dad. So I thought it was pretty funny when he and I had the same score. And on every hole we had either the same number of hits or one away. But at the end of the day Layne had fifty. Brenny had fifty-five. And my dad and I with seventy.
On Sunday at youth we had a thing for the birthdays (and graduations) of this month and the last. But heres the funny part they forgot my birthday. And my birthday is this month!!!
On Monday my dad took a day off and we had a workday. So for our workday my dad and I dug out half of our small retaining wall about five feet down because it bowed out. And we did that all day. But I liked it because I got a good sweat. My dad thought I was going to pass out because my chest hurt.
On Tuesday (4th of July) Layne and Sara came over for lunch and then after lunch we went miniture golfing, or as some people call it “putt putt” and that was fun. Brenny won. He’s an awesome putter. I’m so much of a thinker, so I would go the wrong way just so I could use the hills.
And then we came home and for an hour and then went to Waukee for fireworks. They were cool but weren’t as long this year.
But before they started Dad, Brenny and I went to go get drinks at this like big group thing were all these people hang out. And when we were in line these teens got in line behind us and they were really loud. And when they were talking, they were talking about one this guys friends started going to church (I was like that’s cool) but now he can’t cuss around him, and he was saying these words that that he can’t say around him and these two girls (they totally reminded me of Lisa and Tahsa, because of how they looked, not because of what they were saying) that he was talking to were telling him words that he can use instead of cuss words and words with GOD in them.
And they were talking about all these partys and alcahol.
And latter we were talking about what they said, “ I am so glad that I’m homeschooled”
And when we were talking about where we went on the ride home, Dad and I both said that we felt like we were in an evil place because of all the alcohal and music, and all the people, and what the people were doing. It just felt wrong to be there.
But when we were there the guy said to the girls you two are short, and they said but were girls, and he said these to guys up here (me and my dad) are tall, the girls said “they look like giants to us” (that’s whhy they reminded me of Tasha and Lisa). That was awesome.
Hope to post soon.

Sunsets In Iowa
Well I’ll start on Friday. Friday Derick and Leslie (Alex’s friends from collage) came and stayed with us for the wedding, there cool. And that night was the rehearsal. And the food was awesome. And after rehearsal I took a picture of the sunset and there is an Eagle (Brenny thinks it’s a hawk, but I got in photoshop and looked at it.) it looks so cool.
And then the next day was the wedding, and that was cool and weird. And I hated wearing those cloths. I am not a dress a up kind of person!!!
And then on Sunday we went to a retirement party. And got rained on a lot.
And somebody hid behind Danial (my great aunts son. I don’t know what that would be)
And this somebody (I can’t remember who) said you’re a great shield (he’s wide and tall) and Danial said “yea, until I fart”, it was so funny.
Yesterday (Monday) we went fishing so we could have day to relax. At first we went to Badger and went there at 8:30 and stayed there till 11:30 and caught to fish two fish on bobbers and they were small sunfish so we decided to leave and got to the pond by beaver and when we got there we couldn’t fish there because there was grass growing out of the water, and there was a bunch of pieces of grass. So that was a no go. So then we went over to beaver on a jetty, and at this place there is a drop off. And when we get there my dad throws his pole out there with a bobber and he leaves to go get another pole ready (he allways has three poles) and I say “dad your pole” so he brings a small sunfish in and throws it back out there and he turns around again, and again I say “Dad, your pole”,
So Brenny grabs it and starts realling it in and it took probley five or seven minutes to bring it to were we could see what it was, and then we all yell “Catfish”. So my dad trys to bring it close to the bank, so he could grab it, but once it got in shallow water it just went crazy and started hitting its head on the rocks, and it just bit the line. And we even gave my dad a bucket so he could try and get him in the bucket it was too big to fit in this bucket. Man it was so long.
So then we all go to bobber to try and catch it again. And we weren’t getting anything on lures. But my dad did catch a 13 or 14inch bullhead. But other than that we just caught some small sunfish.
We went to that same spot two years ago and in that year we caught 4 Catfish and 3 Bullheads. And last year only one of each. But all in that same spot.
“So at the end of the day it wasn’t a bust but it wasn’t great fishing either”, that’s what my dad said. But I only caught one fish the whole day, but I had great fishing last time.
After we went fishing I came home and slept.
And I think I’m going paintballing on the 22nd for a father son thing Kevin Queener is setting up.
Here the sunset. I love posting pictures now that i know how to.

What A Weekend
Wow, I had a great weekend!!!

And on the first game was Layne, Alex, Kevin, Dad and Dan. Against Jesse, Mark, Brenny, Josiah and I.
And on the first game it took along time to get back into my groove, so I run and hide in a bunker and then Brenny and Josiah come over and hide with me, and we’re trying to make a plan and Brenny almost shoots me in the head. And this whole time Dad and Dan are pounding us with paintballs. So we get a plan and Brenny runs and Dan shoots him, and then Josiah runs out and then back to me, so then I run and get shot out. Well we lost that one.
And on the second one, we did really good but still lost because Alex and Layne are really good and it was them against Jesse and Jesse is really good to, but alex and Layne won it for there team.
On the Third one Mark and I teamed up and guarded each other, and I took out my Dad and Dan, and Brenny and Josiah took Kevin out, and Mark got Alex or Layne out and Jesse got out, and some how we won with Mark, Josiah, Brenny and I, And then we won the Forth game to. And then we played a game called, Protect The President, and the object is to get the President (Kevin) with out having a gun, his secret sevice men (Layne, Alex, Dan and I) have to get the president from point A to point B, but we have to protect him from the assians (Jesse, Mark, Josiah and Brenny)(Dad sat this one out),
At the end we won!!! Layne and I were the only ones left at the end.
And then next game we played the same game but Layne, Alex, Dad and I were the assians, and every one else was secret service, we destroyed them, we took out all the there guys so Kevin ran for it and Alex was up on this two story bunker being a snipper, and when Kevin ran for it Alex destroyed him, Alex put a hole in his shirt, and made him do a flip, IT WAS AWESOME!!!! And evin if he would of got past Alex then my Dad was waiting for him!!
And then for the last game it was McGinnis vs everyone else, and we lost, but the ref cheated.
At the end of the fay Brenny almost shot me twice.
The weather was perfect!!!
We’re going back for my birthday, either late July or early August.
Well Yesterday we for Fathers Day we went Fishing out at Badger and I caught a 13inch bass and a huge, thick 16 1/2 inch bass. And then we came home and cleaned them, were going back some time next week, after the wedding!!!
But the worst part is that I lost the lure I was using.
Here they Are.

Bull's Eye
Well on Sunday Alex and I went and wasted some paint (paintballs) because I still had some Co2, and Alex had some paint so we went and wasted it.
So because I was in the mood, I asked Brenny if he wanted to waste some paint and he said “yes”, so we went and wasted it and then we decided to play a real game in the woods, so we each went and loaded up our hopper’s half way up, and then we went out side and got a good distance away from each other and then I said “go”. And I ran towards a tree where I could get down on my knee’s and still have a good open space were I could still see Brenny. And then I just opened fire on brenny, and he said “that they wure just flying right by his head. But then I ran out of paint. So we went and filled our hoppers up to the top. And we switched sides. And we wure both doing good. But then I bent down to hide, and let Brenny run out of paint. But then Brenny hit me in the arm but nothing broke. And then I think he hit me again, but it didn’t break, again. It was awesome. Then Brenny ran out of paint and came and begged for five paintballs and then I finaly caved in and gave him five paintballs. And I decided to stand out in the open and see if Brenny could hit me, and on his last shot he got me. Right in the thigh. But it barely broke!!!
I can’t wait to go paintballing on Saturday. I’m going to have a thousand paintballs once I get down there. I want to shoot Layne in the chest, because he says that he will not be hit that whole time that we are there. I hope it doe’s not rain when we go!!!
Well at the funeral the thing that helped me to get threw it was the fact that I get to see her in heaven. She was a great christian, she led so many people to the Lord!!!
