words from a wise student leader, part 3

so here is the third installment in my series. i know everyone has been waiting in anticipation all day. i just lost the game again, its bound to happen a lot i guess. o well.

so they set up a couple in the last session, looks like they are still going on strong. i think target is sponsoring this thing cause they keep plugging it.

so abram is playing a game now, getting some honey with it, i dont know exactly what it is. i wasnt really paying attention. so we had some chipotle earlier today, that was alright i guess, even if i wasnt in the mood.

abram of course did not win the game. he failed us. but i guess ill forgive him this time. well we are singing now. fun stuff. tonight we plan on going to the beach, which is gonna be amazing. the singer just started a song off tune, which was funny. made me laugh a little bit. but its a good song. he is a pretty good worship leader, i still liked future of forestry better. but hes good.

well my battery is going to die again. sorry that i have to cut if off so quickly.

words from a wise student leader, part 1

here is the first installment of my series of blogs. i feel like i should have my own, apart from the rest of the group. so here are my wise words of wisdom that i impart to you, the readers.

i got to meet some new people from michigan today, they were playing apples to apples, so i just had to play. they were nice people who like to have fun with each other.


so we just finished singing and we are watching some mothers day commercial, its very emotional, i think i see tears flowing from Abram's eyes. the women on stage is really crying. the crowd laughs pretty loudly. we are now playing a game called sit down if. i just lost because of my plentiful number of siblings. the winner just got a target gift card. now we are singing again. next up is another game. yeah, pretty fun i guess. so the guys up front keep making fun of everyone that comes up for the game. the guy leading the games is timing how long he can eat a double-double burger combo from in-n-out burger. he took 3:39 to eat it.

Doug Fields is our first speaker. he is the youth minister here at saddleback. he says that we are the church, talks about how jesus didnt tell us to pick up the cross when we are 18 or 21, we should do it now. "to be a successful leader is to know how to refuel your heart." thats a good quote i think. "if you are going to be a leader, you need to be topped off spiritually, by being close to God. Having a relationship with him." Ephesians 3:19- "you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God" God will constantly refuel you.

my computer is about to die, so this is the end of part one, sorry that you didnt get that much of the talk, but i will take notes and add them later.
