Hello my adoring fans!
Well it is true, as of last friday May 4th, yours truly got older. And let me tell you ever since that day I've had a killer back ache and my legs aren't working the way they should be and my heart is going "pitter" when it should be going "patter" and... actually I'm doing fine!
On the last day of my sixteenhood I actually drove in Saskatoon for my first time ever, by my self, during RUSH HOUR! It was scary but I survived to tell about it!
On my birthday I drove during rush hour too but my mom was with me and I actually had her take a few pictures of me driving with my digital camera that I got for my birthday!(thank you so much Mom and Dad!) I was going to share the pictures with you but my computer is to old for the software and I forgot to bring the cord with me to the library so... Maybe later!

Hooray!

Hello my adoring fans!
Oh my wow i am so excited! You are now looking at the blog of a real live proffesional LIFEGUARD! The training was so intense but I passed the first time and now I am DEAD tired.
Today I started my new job, waitering at a golf course. i enjoyed it but it so not busy they sent me home early which at the moment the house of lady from our church. I am housesitting for her while she is visiting her kids. As I'm sure you have gathered I AM BUSY! I am currently trying to master the art of saying NO.
well i have to go now. I want to eat, maybe watch a movie and then go to slee....

"I Like to...MOO!"

Hello my adoring fans!
I am here today to tell you about something that some would consider a great advancement in my blogging career, others would think it an unspeakable sin and compromise on my part. Others still just wouldn't care.
I have a myspace.
BUT... this doesn't mean I am abandoning my blogspot. I am just spreading my love around.
Anyway... I think that you should go check it out. I'm not done decorating so don't judge me in that aspect but I do have a hillarious video (in my opinion anyway) called "I like to... MOO!" Its this cow singing that Madagascar song and it had me in stiches. It's a little rank but not really that bad.
Let me know what you think!

Friday the 13th

Hello my adoring fans!
Well, Friday the 13 is here. I’m not superstitious although sometimes I think I’d like to believe in that kind of thing even though I know its all folklore and coincidence. Today was actually one of the best days I’ve had in a while. I set up a new multimedia projector at our church this morning which was a challenge but fun! I’ve never done that before but I managed to figure it out in spite of the two computer illiterates that showed up to help. They were very ready with advice! I can only thank God for them otherwise I think I might kill or severely injure the one of them(they’re father and son and the son is my least favourite person…ever!).
You might consider my escapade on my way out of the church parking lot friday the 13th bad luck(if your into that stuff). Our church is less than a block away from the local hardware store and they sometimes borrow our parking lot to unload truck loads of lumber or gyprock or what ever. On this particular day while I was in the church they left a pallet of gyprock not to far behind my car and when I went to back out I didn’t see it and I have a pretty nice dent in the back right corner of my bumper! I was not impressed!!!
My mom was driving the van today and on her way home the power steering stopped working. She and I were joking earlier and we are now really hoping that Dad doesn’t total his truck on his way home from work.
But tonight I’m leading the youth activity and guess what we are doing. We are going to a cemetery(I hope that doesn’t offend anyone). My old youth pastor did it with us. We have a questionnaire to fill out (e.i. oldest person @ death, youngest, most recent death, earliest, who is buried next to…) and then there was devotion about what we have to do before we die and that death can come to anyone, not just older people. Pray that it goes well. I have never “done” a youth group activity before.
All I have left to say is “Oh My WOW” I can’t believe how long this is. My updates are usually short. Oh well…
Have a great weekend!

Hello my adoring fans!
Well as the slow hands of time continue to tick, my old bones continue their slow decay and my breaths become more laboured and my energy drains away. One day it will all be gone and then... and then...
PARTY UPSTAIRS!!!
The other day I was thinking about heaven and what I'll have to show for my life when I get there. I keep picturing myself standing there will reads over my little 2-paragraph "resume" and all the angels just shake their heads.
I'm pretty sure that it won't happen quite like that but still, I don't want to be embarrassed when I get up there.
You know, you never really think about heaven much. Most of the time we think about how to make our life down here bettter. And sometimes we think about bettering other peoples lives.
Just thought I'd share that thought with you. I am going to try to do better at making changes in life that will make a differance for God's kingdom.

Gettin' With the Pink!

Hello my adoring fans!
Sooooooooooooo? How do you like the pink? My time(at the library) is just about up so all I can tell you is that I am alive and well, fairly happy, and willing to bet it's either Phil s, Sanjaya or Gina that's going home from American Idol tonight!

TIM

New Look!

Hello my adoring fans!
First let me say that last night watching American Idol I was heartbroken that Antonella was cut, shocked that Sabrina didn't make it and overjoyed at the anouncement Ryan made about the "Idol Gives Back" program, and charity program to help struggling children and adults in Africa and the United States to celebrate reacing their 200th episode. I'm proud of them. AND I going to have to agree with Jeremy's comment a couple of posts ago, Chris Sligh Is a force to be reckoned with. I have to say I personally enjoy his perfomances.
On to other things, How do you like my new template? I know it looks pretty mellow for my personality but I like how poetic it looks. So leave a comment and let me know if you think it adds a new dimension to my personality or if it just makes it look like the diary of a middle aged women!
God Bless

From a Dump to a Meadow

A bus driver became annoyed with what he saw. At the end of his run lay an open field which local "litter bugs turned into an unofficial dump. The driver had at least a seven-minute layover there several times a day. One day, he decided to get to get out of the bus and spend his few minutes of waiting time picking up a few of the bottles and cans.
The next day he took a long a little bigger sack and some gloves and during each layover he gathered up a little more of the trash. After a week of doing this, he was so encouraged by the change he had made in the field that he decided to spend all his free moments cleaning up the site. He worked all through the winter months, and when spring came he decided to sow some flower seeds on the land.
By the end of the summer, some of his regular riders actually began riding with him to the end of the line just to see what the driver had acomplished. He had turned a dump into a meadow, just a few minutes at a time, and the entire community benefitted.
Our neighborhoods are only as good as those who live in them. One step, one minute, one day at a time you can make yours an even better place for you and your neighbors to call home!
(this story came out of "God's Little Devotional Bible for Women" [don't ask] which I am reading. It's set up so that you can read the entire Bible in year. Today I read February 5th!)
God bless!

Romance

Hello my adoring fans!
Well, three60five was awesome! I came "this" close to being the fastest on the Adrenaline Rush; an inflatable obstacle course. I even skinned my elbow pretty good trying to do it.
Jeremy Sawatzky, the speaker, was great! I was really glad to see that he used lots of scripture in his sessions. A lot of speakers think the message would be more accepted by teens if they just use stories from life and/or TV. This guy used both but the scripture was clearly dominant.
Nathan D, juggling comedian, was there. I sat in the front row and was wishing I hadn't when he picked up the Amazon jungle machettes! Despite my uneasiness at times, he was really great!
I don't know how many of you watch American Idol but I'm really looking forward to this weeks shows! I really hope Antonella Barba steps out picks a great song this time. Jordin Sparks is another one I really like along with Lakisha, Blake, and Phil.
I can't wait for Canadian Idol to start. I like it better than the American one just because the competitors support eachother more and the judges are more constructive in their criticism. All in all it's just more "Canadian"!
Well I have to go now but I'll be back soon.
God bless!
Tim
PS don't ask me why the title is "Romance". I couldn't think of anything else ;)

Life goes on...

Hello my adoring fans!
well once again I have managed to forget to update for almost a month(sorry Nathan:).
Well this weekend I'm going to three60five at NBI. I've never gone bfore but i think it'll be a blast!
there isn't much else to say.
HEY! Go read Psalm 150. That's a cool passage. At the moment I don't remember what it's about(oops!) but I remember the refferance and that I liked it. So, when I get off of here I'm going to go read it again! :)
God Bless!
your bro in Christ

HeyHeyHey...Eh!!!

Well I hope you are all fine. I just wanted to let you all know I'm not dead yet!

Bye!

Youth Edge/Petra/Remembrance Day

Hello my adoring fans!
Sorry it’s taken so long to let you peek into the goings-on of my life. I can’t even say I was all that busy but it’s my blog and I can update it when I want to.
Guess what! Last weekend (3-5) I was at Millar’s youth retreat, “Youth Edge”, and they had some special guests there. They invited Jon Schlitt(lead singer) and Bob Hartman(lead guitarist) from the Christian rock band, Petra to lead the worship in the sessions! It was pretty cool. I had never heard of them before that weekend but since a lot of people were talking about them I learned I bit about them. I talked with them some over the weekend and it was cool to see how humble and down to earth they were. AND I hugged them both! Thinking back, it’s awesome that I hugged two rock stars from the 70’s and 80’s!!!!
One of the girls that was there took my picture with the two of them and I think she is going to put on her website. If she does I’ll put the address on here so you can see it if you want.

I was going to put something on here on Remembrance Day but I never got around to it.
I ended up singing Letters from War at the Legion’s Remembrance Day service and at my church yesterday. Lots of people cried. Mostly women but a few men were in tears including the only guy actually in the army. It made me think that they must have friends that died in the service. I can’t imagine what our country would look like if all those people hadn’t given up there freedoms, livelihoods and in so many cases their very lives.
I want to dedicate this entry to all the Canadians who have died for our country and all the other soldiers who have sacrificed for their country.

Poor duckie.

Hello my adoring fans!
Guess what! Not 20 minutes sfter I last updated I was on my way to a music and drama thing by NBI and I hit a little duck on the grid road. It was so sad! I felt so crummy. that,s the first thing I've killed while driving. I know it may sound dumb but I really felt bad about it.
Well The variety night went well. It was so funny! There's a guy that comes to youth group sometimes and He's really into hard core rock and metal really intense stuff like that. He can't stand pop or classical stuff like what I did. Any way, He came up to me afterwards and said "Great job Tim. You could sing on a Disney movie." It was just so funny to hear. He wanted to give a compliment even though he didn't like it. I thought it was pretty cool.
After it was all over one of the elderly ladies from town asked me if I would come and sing at the Senior's Club some time. I think it is so cool to see God opening doors for ministry. I was also asked by one of the ladies that goes to our church(who has a hand in the legion) if I would sing "Letters from War" at the town Rememberance Day Service. I can't Wait for that. I LOVE that song.
I am so thankfull that God gave me my musical abillities and I love being able to share them with others and show the love of Christ in a way that touches so many.

Your bro in Christ,
Tim

Waves of Grace

Hello my adoring fans!
Well, school is underway. I know you all were saying that ages ago but because of the Honey farm I am a little behind ;) Oh well...
I decided that I'm going to sing "Waves of Grace" for the Variety Night tomorrow. I first heard it at Pine Ridge teen camp this past summer. I really love the lyrics; it's kind of a prayer of submission, giving in to God and letting Him wash you with His grace.
It is so amazing to think that God did what He did for us. Being crucified was the most painfull and excruciating death that he could have died. It still seems unreal.

Your bro in Christ,
TIM

What's Up

Hello my adoring fans!
So how is everyone?
I'm doing pretty good. This Friday I am singing in the school's Variety Night. It is like a talent show to raise money for the school band. I'm going to sing Mark Shultz's "Letters from War"(one of my favorite songs) and I havn't decided what my second song will be.
The only other interesting thing going on in my life is that I am taking a life guarding course. I really enjoy it. I'm thinking about getting a job at the Aquatic Centre in Meadow Lake and I can use my life guarding at bible camps.
So how many people actully read this thing? If you read this leave a comment. Id like to know If Karina and Tinaya are the only ones or not.
Your bro in Christ,
TIM

Low Spots

Hello my adoring fans!
Well life just got a little better... I am done with the Honey house!!!
last friday we finnished the last day of extracting and Dad just finnished cleaning and packing everything away for the winter.
This has been a hard summer but I don't think that I'd not live it if I had the choice. I learned alot of things, like trusting God to help me through times when I didn't think that I could keep going, to always do a good job at all the jobs I do, to always have a good attitude about everything even when it's hard(and trust me, sometimes its hard) and many other things; big and little.
Life really is good isn't it! even when things are going really sucky and you're really hating everything, God will help help you through and things will get better. It's interesting how you usually learn something during low spots too.
Your bro in Christ,
TIM

Booooooooooooooring!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello my adoring fans!
Shortly after I created this blog I realized how uninteresting my life actually is. Oh there a the little things like starting up a life guard course and almost being done at the bee farm but really, my life is uneventfull.
I shouldn't complain though. I'm only 16! Things will get more interesting as life progresses.
I think that that is part of the reason why so many teenagers leave home so early and drop out of school. They get restless and want more excitment instead of being thatnkfull for all the things that God has given them. All to soon our childhood slips away and there is nothing that we can do to regain it.
Enjoy it while it last!
And for those of you that are already adults, "Have fun anyway!"

TIM
