Wedding Things

Ok, so tonight youth group is going to be a little different. It is actually going to be a wedding shower for Janelle and I and we are really grateful to the community for throwing it for us. I love Burtt’s Corner. It starts at 7 so I hope to see you all there.

As far as our actual wedding is concerned, I want everyone to be clear. You the “X” are invited to the wedding and the dance. This is what the invitations say:

The Miracle of True Love
Brings Joy to our Hearts

Janelle Lynn McLean
and
Daniel Keith Foreman
Invite you to celebrate with us
As we exchange our marriage vows
At 2:00pm Saturday, June 10th, 2006
Corbett Avenue Wesleyan Church
55 Corbett Avenue
Fredericton, New Brunswick

Refreshments at the church to follow ceremony
Dance will be held at
The Lord Beaverbrook Hotel Ballroom
659 Queen Street
Beginning at 8:30pm
Even if you haven’t been to youth group in a while and didn’t get an invite you can still come, although it would be nice if you could come and get one!

Finally, and this is important. It would be really nice if you could let us know if you are coming or not. If you could comment on this post IF you are coming that would be great. Make sure you spread the word too so that people will actually check the blog and comment.


Thanks guys, hope you can make it to our BIG day!

Celebrate!

Well this past weekend marked the spring youth conference for 19 of us and it was a blast! Kelly Scrugs was the speaker and he gave us reasons to celebrate. The band was unified and they did a fine job as well.


We had some big moments on the trip. Joseph showed everyone what a man he was by beating up Brianne...


He then enjoyed his first Bacon Mushroom Melt EVER!!!


Darrell and I had more pie than any person should be allowed to consume at a time.



On top of that we had some pretty intense games of "Skunk" and had some amazing worship times and good small group times as well. It was a big weekend and we had a blast!

If you have any pictures of the conference, send them to me and if you have any comments about the conference then post them.


One more thing... There were two jackets left in the vehicles... Are either of these yours???

Back

Hey everyone! I know this thing hasn't been updated in a while, at least not by me, but that is all about to change! Firstly because I am updating it RIGHT NOW but also because I am back in town for good this time! So this is just a little update to let you know that we are going to have a blast this summer so make sure you come to the "X" so that you don't miss out on all the awesomeness.

The first thing you need to know is that we are going to the Spring Youth Conference this Friday and won't be back until Sunday. Also the "X" is cancelled for Monday because it is Victoria day. You know what that means! This is the day that we set aside to pay tribute to Victoria Leachman. In her honor it is only appropriate that you dress up in old fashion Victorian dress and decorate you home in a Victorian setting. This is what that looks like:



Each of you should then invite Victoria to your house and show her the masterpieces you have created.

I think that is all for now!
Later skaters!

MCC Worship

Hey gang...hope you all had a great Easter weekend. I sure did.

This will be the twins last appearance as they graduate on the 30th of this month. So if you want to attend please let myself or Cathy know. We will be leaving the church around 6ish..do the Tims thing first...and it's at F'ton Church of Christ. Hope to see a few of you....let the others know. I'm sure we'll have some great music and it'll be a fun time.

Down Here

Ok guys, I don't know how many of you guys check this thing but if you do then you HAVE to go see Down Here at First Church United Pentecostal on Thursday night and you HAVE to tell everyone else at the X to go and you HAVE to tell everyone who doesn't go to the X to go because it will be AWESOME!!!

Apathetic Way To Be

Yeah, I'm not angry
and no, I'm not upset
it's taken me awhile
but this is what I've learned
emotional attachment is really not a threat
when I'm simply not concerned

The things that I take on
I soon shrug off
'cause I know no one
will ever be content
with the way things are
or with what they've got
so I've given up and now I'm just indifferent

You will laugh at me
like I'm not happy
with anything, any time, anywhere
and the half of me's all about apathy
and the other half just doesn't care

I must admit;
all the words you spoke, I hated
cause I don't see just how I can be motivated
I'm left to break a sweat over a dying race
it seems our fate is something we've already embraced

Yeah, I'm not angry,
and no, I'm not upset
it's taken me awhile
but this is what I've learned
emotional attachment is really not a threat
when I'm simply not concerned

You will laugh at me
like I'm not happy
with anything, any time, anywhere
and the half of me's all about apathy
and the other half just doesn't care

Yeah, bein' apathetic's a pathetic way to be
(I don't care)
What matters to you does not matter to me
('cause I don't care)

So take a wild guess
it's like I just couldn't care less
if all the things you find impressive
just blew up and made those messes
that you'll frantically repair
like it's a life or death affair
and all the while you're unaware
for this, you really shouldn't care
but it's so hard to see the reality
that the end will be the end of things
and our hearts are all we get to bring
so let's go ahead and make them worth something

You will laugh at me
like I'm not happy
with anything, any time, anywhere
and the half of me's all about apathy
and the other half just doesn't care

You will laugh at me
like I'm not happy
with anything, any time, anywhere
and the half of me's all about apathy
and the other half just doesn't care

I'm well aware that everything
is a far cry from all right
I'm well aware that all of us
can at times, be too uptight
and possibly, the remedy
is a dose of apathy
You point your finger at you
I'll point mine right back at me

Done and Back

Wow, well nobody probably reads this anymore because I haven't updated it in a decade. But now, I am done everything for the semester. Man that feels good. So if there is anyone left, I am sorry and I know I say it every time but I will be updating more often. That is until march when I freak out again, but I am back for now.

Well I guess the only thing to say is Merry Christmas and I hope this post finds you well. Comment if you still actually check this thing!
