Wednesday Night

Things are getting hectic as we are all in the office preparing for camp. Shane and I are working on tomorrow night's concept, I'm looking at what I could do artistically to illustrate it, Chase is sorting out messes, and Andrew is out and about, on duty. :]

I'm working on some new stuff myself and it is a world of difficult. To give you an idea, it uses 4 regular quarters, and the entire piece has 4 phases. Each phase requires 2 sleights that must be done at the fingertips at EXACTLY the same time, and a sleight with focused misdirection during each transition between phases.

I was up until 4am a few nights ago practicing myself sick. It looks like I'm having convulsions when I practice too, because the timing has to be spot on, lol.

Anywho, INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO THE BLOG.

Immediately.

I must go and dance now.

Bullets

Hey guys, here are some updates, via "Bullets" to let you know what's going down:

• We need students who want to come and help out at the garden.  College kids are going out there and rockin that thing.  Let us know if you want to help and when you can set aside a day or two and we'll hook you up.  I'm going out there today, myself.  :]
• WE NEED MORE PEOPLE on the blog!  C'mon!  6 people?  Weaksauce.  
• If you have questions or are confused about anything regarding camp at Orange Beach, make sure you get that resolved asap.  The gap is closing. 

On a side note, I(Sean) have got a good feel for just about everyone and I'll be more choosy and straightforward when it comes to magic.  I'm working on a LOT of concepts and ideas right now, and being that everyone is "broken in" now, I won't be doing any more "magic tricks."  

From now on, I will only be doing real deal stuff.  So if you ask me to do a magic trick, and I say no, don't be offended, it just means I've got something better planned.  :]

Keep in touch for the next update, and forreals, get other people on this blog so we can put a video up!

Wednesday, June 24

Junior High:

Hey gang...tonight we are going to be entering a pretty fun journey for the rest of the summer. We are going to be talking about "A Day at the Beach". It should be a kickin' time to close out the year - complete with water games and a pool party....eventually.

Tonight we are discussing a guy that had a pretty weird story that would not be our ideal day at the beach - Jonah. Oh, and bring your favorite summer vacation story in your mind as well!

Senior High:

What wins? When what you do collides with what God says...what wins? Tonight we will be discussing how God's truth can sometimes conflict with our lives or lifestyles....and determine what wins out!

WAKING UP!

Tonight we will be discussing waking up to the story that Jesus, our author and finisher is scripting for us....for you!

Here is the verse we will be centering on...

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12:2

What story is He writing for you and around you? Tonight - we hope to find out!

The Gameplan

Sean here, and I'm heading this thing up. Here's what we've got planned: Updates and information on all events and stuff(for your convenience), open discussion and questions anytime you want(it's 2am as I'm typing this), a devotional...

...but I hate that word, so we're going to call it what it is: an interesting glimpse at thoughts that explore G-d designed to make you think.

There's plenty more stuff, but probably the most exciting is our Vlog idea we're cooking up. Check it out, if we can get more people logged in and checking this thing, say...10 people following/reading, then I'll begin a video series that I guarantee will stir up dust(that's a metaphor). :]

Yes, Andrew and I will make some gnarley videos that WILL be either:

A) Entertaining
B) Fascinating
C) Magically-Face-Melting

Pardon my slang usage, you'll get used to it.

So, 10 people, and you get a sweet vid.

Expect an update soon, and while you wait, listen to the band Justice and look at the picture I drawed for you. :]

Peace out.

Let's talk D.C.

Here is just a glimpse at some of the faces and fun we had in DC. If you have any questions about what we are doing in the pics or how our trip went overall, please leave them in the comment section!
































Feel free to send more pics our way or post more on facebook! We'd love to add all we can to showcase our great week on mission in DC! Thanks for helping make that possible!

Welcome Hillvue Students

Hey guys.....

I really hope we utilize this space to be able to share our stories, our fun, and our faith with each other.

We'll at least give it a shot.

We will start talking about it on Wednesday Night June 10....and will hopefully kick off the blog with a shout out to our DC trip! Should be fun!

Later....

Pastor Andrew
