For the first time I actually did something with my march break, other then cleaning my room and doing crazy things with friends. The trip went very very well. The best part was that nothing bad happened, so no one was pickpocketed, got lost, or did something stupid.

The sights were amazing and the weather was appropriate. It was freezing cold in a rain jacket + 3 sweaters. When ever we were out at a memorial that day it would be cold and crappy out. It was good to remember, but on the flip side they were all people who there because of determined people in leadership.

I thourghly enjoyed the trip. This coming rememberence day will be different.

 

Yes Church - RSS

Well after much reading and working, today I have completed my goal. I have found a *hopefuly* easy to update RSS feed / Podcast method that looks just like their current page does, but it’s not, it’s WordPress powered. A current copy of their site can be found here: http://andy0.com/yeschurch. It works by using WordPress to only generate the latest sermons, while the rest of the page is the originally fixed html page.

I had a good time building this solution, and hope that it will continue to get used, as it’s the easiest solution that I could configure :)

Today with the majority of my fellow grade 12’s I traveled over 12hours to our destination in Québec. The drive was awesome. The bus was cramped but we got through.

I’m loving my lappy and now everyone want to use it, so now i’m off.

So I did go to the meeting, and someone had filled the position needed yay ! This means that I can get away from the ranch for a little bit as I work.

Today I got to work with Bert (uncle) and Trevor (cousin) on meadow lands :) Also there was Brian & Stew. The sun was hot and I got some major farmer tan up on that roof :) but it’s all good.

 

God Has Been Amazing

Staff training @ Brantford Circle Square Ranch was so awesome :)) It’s totally about the people and worshiping / spreading God then about what facilities we have. -> Reality check: If you were to just work @ CSR for volunteer / picking up opposite gender there are soooo many better ways to do that. @ CSR it’s all about God. We work with what we got, there is absolutly nothing that I can think of that we have bought new, but it’s all good :) That’s why we have a maintence staff, which I probably will be a part of, we get to fix just about everything that could go wrong within a week :)
While @ Yes Church We got to hear an encrediable story of Jakob who lives in India & how God has completely flipped his world upside down. And i do me completely

My fav 5 artists right now: Jump5, Casting Crowns, Family Force 5, Lifehouse & Howie Day :))

I’m excited for the summer to come; plans:
1. Visit Daena Flemming ~ Muskoka Woods
2. Working week 2 & 3 @ CSR <-This tis goin to be the bomb party all week long.

Woot ! This summer I’ll be volunteering at Circle Square Ranch (CSR) located in Brantford. Ill be hanging out with friends, both new and old for 2 weeks, possibly more depending on what my fam plans for their summer.

It’s a touching and changing experience bringing people to God! You should come as a camper (if you 17 or younger), or become a leader if your older. :)

Wow, today I completed my CN Tower climb. It was amazing, so many people all climbing.
Start of day - 4:30AM; wake up, eat
5:30AM; Got to meeting place (we car pooled)
6:30AM; Base of tower, find out that we need to go to the skywalk to register
7:44:36; Base of stair case, registration was well organized mehem. (Were talking 300 volunteers to like 50k contestants)
8:03:38; Top (19:02 mins later), after an amazing use of my heart I make it up. I now feel so fit (though sorta am) because I never needed to stop. I ran/hiked/jogged/walked this like the 1200m, you could at times go up by x2’s but usually you needed to go up by x1’s (1 steps)
8:30AM; I received my official contestant shirt, with my well appreciated 19:02 clearly listed!
10:00AM; Back in bed :)
This was made possible by all the volunteers (like beth!) who helped WWF. I went with a group from my school, Eco-serve, we all enjoyed and plan on going back next year.

Hey got a Facebook? It was a common question that I had been asked many a time, untill recently I would have replied that they were just facebook addicts. But now this isn’t the case, I too have joined in the social networking of my local community, which is still such a waste of time, but now all my friends enjoy it.

Ya so If your from Rsbandb.com, JOIN Rsbandb @ facebook already!
