I never posted for yesterday...and I don't really remember too much about it...other than I ended up cleaning the bathroom, and me and Jeff went up to Cafe Shiloh in Geneseo...but the cafe was closed. Kristi was there and she let us in, but she was there to use the Internet...and we did too. I waited for one of my friends, Roy, until 8:30 but we figured he had already come and gone seeing that the closed sign was up.
Jeff wanted o go to Walmart so we did...and we bought Fallout 3 for XBox 360...it is a pretty fun game...Jeff has played it almost every moment he is home, except when he is sleeping or eating...I played it a little bit...there is the main quest and side quests...but I kinda just like to gallivant across the countryside taking care of bandits and also the myriads of pesky bees and giant rats.
We came home around 10:00 and Jeff was playing it until 1:00 or 2:00.
OK Sunday.
Today was the first official Sunday that "Pastor Mike," our associate pastor, was not there and pastoring his new church down in Ithaca. Jac, Mike, and I lead singing in the morning service and Jac, Laura, and I lead singing in the evening service. I would really like to get some younger guys (and girls, but guys espessially) to joint our little trio since the 3 (4 if you count Mike) is leaving for college this next fall, and Jac and I are going off to work at camp all summer long.
Because of today, and how it went, we have come up with a new way of figuering up worship since we are going to be doing this for both services from the way things look.
I would apperciate prayer in finding the next generation of worship leaders...since it has kinda fallen on me to do so...

School, Tests, and Family
Well today was fun...kinda. Woke up this morning just like every other Tuesday and Thursday to get ready for school at 6:00...but I didn't wake up till 10 till 7:00...and I leave at 7:00...Needless to say, I took a 3 min shower, printed off my paper, brushed my teeth, got a dollar fifty for a drink from the vending machine, and headed out the door with a sweatshirt in my hand...only to find...ITS COLD OUT HERE! And it was; the radio said that it was about 5 degrees Fahrenheit...well below freezing; and I have wet hair and am wearing a t-shirt and jeans in a frozen over truck. My first class was history and incredibly boring because the teacher puts a list of important people, dates, and places on the board and basically reads them of to us. Psychology I had a test in...It wasn't too bad. Kinda easy really, but it still was a test...and in psychology. But I got out of that class early because of the test and worked at the computer lab for 30 min before my English class started. That was not as fun as it had been, but those days come and go.
After getting out of my last class of the day I drove over to Walmart...my "favorite" store...to get some cough meds for my dad, cause he is REALLY sick; and I finally got more pencils, cause I have been out since my first art class of the year when I borrowed a broken mechanical pencil from my friend Brian. I came home to find Jeff exactly where I knew he would be...sitting in front of the XBox playing...you guessed it-Merc 2. But whatever, I had thing I needed to do, like work on my Calc homework and all that fun jazz.
We, me and Jeff, ended up ripping up some carpeting on the stairs leading up to the second floor, as well as the quarter round all the way around the hardwood floors on the main level...it took too long.
I drove my fam over to my grandparents house for dinner tonight where we spend 4 hours...it was fun...we ate dinner, watched some history channel, military channel, and I went down in the basement with my granpa. He had just bought a double barrel .22/.410 O/U that he wanted to show me cause it was the same as mine. I ended up reloading about 100 rounds of shotgun shells on his lil' reloader set he has...its like a 600 Jr. something. I don't know what it is called, but it isn't bad. He shoots lots of trap and skeet and reloads some of the shells, and I reload the rest!

Recap...busy 3 days!
the last three days I have done NOTHING at home. Really, I have come home to eat and sleep...pretty bad...I'll start on with the first day I didn't blog.
Friday.
I had my art class today, from 12:30 till 4:30; the roads were pretty bad and I was surprised that school wasn't canceled at all (it should have been!). I handed in 3 of the compositions I made and got an A-, B, and a C. The one I got a C on was kinda lame...but I still handed it in. I bought the game Mercenaries 2: World in Flames and its a pretty cool game. It is a 3rd person, free-roaming, shoot-em-up; that lets you pick from 3 different characters. I played that game for an hour or so before going to hockey at the church with my friends at 7. By the time hockey was over the weather actually got pretty good, and other than a hockey stick to the throat and the ball hitting me just below the ribs in my stomach...I think I did pretty good not getting hurt. That was all I did on Friday because by the time I got home my brother Jeff had been playing Mercenaries 2 for the whole time I was gone and then late into the morning...keeping me awake might I also add.
Saturday.
My Saturday consisted of cleaning my room a lil bit, playing a lil more Mercenaries 2, and going over to my friend's house to watch the Buffalo Sabres take on the New York Rangers. There was probably 10 of us there including their fam. and we just kinda hung out till everybody get there and the game to start. The game was pretty good...no fights though. Sabres 4 Rangers2 final. Miller got hurt cause of Gomez there...so should have been a penalty for hitting the goalie...rvthw. I didn't get to leave till real late cause some of the girls who had come, blocked me in and wouldn't leave...SOOOOO irritating! I went out of my way to go to the bank to activate my debit card, so I could buy gas for the truck. So I get it activated at the ATM and take like $20 out of my account to make sure it works...then go across the street to buy gas at the 24 hour pay at the pump station...and it denies the sale! I could NOT believe it. I drove home praying that I wouldn't run out of gas...and I didn't. God did provide! In fact I never saw the gas gauge move at all...and it is at least a 45 min drive, going an average of 55 mph. I ended up getting home Sunday morning.
It is kinda funny about me driving around at midnight with no gas...because previously to me living at my current house, my parents owned a farm that we all worked on. One day I was sent out to mow hay with our 4250 John Deere and an International disk-bine. I didn't think to look at the gas gauge...well actually diesel...before I left the farm...I drove to the field I needed to cut and looked at the gauge only to see the gauge pinned to "E" and the "Need Fuel" light was on...being young...I didn't know what to do...should I continue and finish mowing the hay and then return home...or go home and refuel. Well I thought my dad would be made at me if I went home without finishing the work, (money was VERY tight and we couldn't afford burning anymore fuel than he absolutely NEEDED to) so I tried to finish the work. Now the field I was mowing was pretty good size. It ended up taking me about 2 and 1/2 hours to finish it. I was praying the entire time for God NOT to let me run out of fuel. Well, I finished the field, got home, drove to the fuel tanks and turned off the tractor, and went to pump fuel in the tank. I looked in to not only see it empty...COMPLETELY empty, but also dry. BONE DRY! The way it gets because the fuel is gone and the engine heat is warming up the tank and evaporating all the moisture...there was no fuel in the tank...it was empty...and had been...probably for about an hour and a half. This was not the making of the John Deere, engineers...THIS WAS GOD. He made it possible for this stupid little 16 year old to make it home running on prayer.
Sunday.
Like I said, I got home early this morning, and got up at 7...to take my bro, Jeff, down to work at the store. I went to church and it was very good...but I forgot to ask Pastor Mike for the sermon notes...rats!...I'll ask him some other time I guess. But anywaz...we, me and my fam, went out to eat after church, and got some stuff at Lowe's before going home. After I got home I played a lil Merc 2 before picking Jeff up from the store and then heading over to church to play Lacrosse and hockey again with some local kids. We all ended up staying till evening service were I ran the sound board and al that fun stuff.
