HAPPY EARLY CANADA DAY! On the account that I might not come online tomorrow... but who knows? Yay... go Canada! Or should we say, go Brazil? Not that I've been watching the World Cup at all... okay, maybe 5 minutes of all 3 gazillion weeks that it has been on. Anyways... ;o) Go Canada!

Yes, boys and girls, the wait is over. The prom pics are up! Located in the school section, they've been divided into 3 lovely sections (because me and Niette just took too many pictures... almost 3 rolls... hmm... one per section?!?). There are more coming... just need to develop them soon...

Okay... just a short update for you guys. Talk to you later... and remember, sing O Canada on Canada Day because this country needs more patriotism and nationalism and all that cool stuff I learned in Mod West!

Welcome to the fifth chapter... the latest reincarnation of my homepage. :o) These past few days have been jam packed with events, so as I sit here listening to my new Delirious? CD (the Deeper - the d:finitive worship experience one that I got at their concert), I'll recount these days.

I guess it all started with Youth On A Hill last Friday... that was awesome. I never knew or fully comprehended that my generation is the revival generation... the message from the speaker was powerful, and really made an impact in my life. It's time we infect the world with Christ because that's what everyone needs in this morally degrading world. Afterwards, in the comfort of my own home, I prayed for God to grant me passion for Him in my life, and to "dream His dreams." I KNOW for certain that will change my life for the better... it's definitely what I want in life. I guess striving to live a life pleasing to God is difficult, but with God, everything is possible. Can you hear it in the air? It's REVIVAL that's coming to town! :o)

On the weekend, I busied myself with this website. It takes time to update everything to be in working order! Well, it's finally done, and new sections have been added... I transplanted the Reading Room from Pit Stop (which no longer exists) and the photo album has been updated as well. And yes, the picnic pics are up, as well as the grad breakfast photos. The prom ones are being developed as I type. Patience, my child.

Next big event... DELIRIOUS? CONCERT!!! That was awesome... of course there was the whole Ikea thing before that. That store is just amazing... so much stuff, and all so very cool! I'd love for my house to look just like the catelogs... hahaha... I'd buy the whole store if I was rich! Oh, and the sandwich. Who would've guessed it would look just like the picture? Heck, better than the picture on the wall! Haha... it tasted good too. Mmm... shrimp and egg sandwich...

Delirious? Aren't we all smitten with the British accent?!? Even better is that these five awesome people are worshippers of God! Never been to a secular concert, but hey, the Christian counterparts are so awesomely cool! Actually dancing to the line "oh I feel like dancing, it's foolishness I know" is way cool! If only we were less reserved at church then we can dance up and down the isles praising God all the way! If you've never heard Delirious? before... get a hold of the d:finitive worship experience CD... it's a mix of familiar praise songs and other cool tunes to bop to. Or you can download some free MP3's from mp3.com. (Definitely download Deeper... it's one of my fave songs) Hmm... and what did you all think about the recording sessions? I guess we'll just hafta get the CD to see if we actually landed on it!

Alright... now for last night... my prom! :o) That was a fun experience... everyone dressed up so nicely - even people who wouldn't be caught wearing a dress anywhere. ;o) The dancing was fun (Spidey dance!), but the songs sucked. Really... I'm not into reggae. But you can't exactly "dance" to rock tracks, huh? Some Nickelback would have been nice, or maybe Jimmy Eat World. Oh well... I hope to put the pics up as soon as I get them.

Anyways... I suppose that's it for this update. Let me know what you think about this new layout... click the guestbook link above! Take care and God bless...

SONG OF THE MOMENT

Well I got myself a t-shirt that says what I believe
I got letters on my bracelet to serve as my ID
I got the necklace and the key chain
And almost everything a good Christian needs

I got little Bible magnets on my refrigerator door
And a welcome mat to bless you before you walk across my floor
I got a Jesus bumper sticker
And the outline of a fish stuck on my car
And even though this stuff's all well and good
I cannot help but ask myself

What about the change?
What about the difference
What about the grace
What about forgiveness
What about a life that's showing
I'm undergoing the change
I'm undergoing the change

Well I've got this way of thinking that comes so naturally
Where I believe the whole world is revolving around me
And I got this way of living that I have to die to every single day
'Cause if God's Spirit lives inside of me
I'm gonna live differently

I'm gonna have the change
I'm gonna have the difference
I'm gonna have the grace
I'm gonna have forgiveness
I'm gonna live a life that's showing
I'm under going the change

What about the change?
What about the difference
What about the grace
What about forgiveness
I want to live a life that's showing
I'm undergoing the change

"The Change", Steven Curtis Chapman (from Speechless)

I've been living for myself for way too long now... I've always been dreaming of the wonderful life that I could have if I lived fully for God. After going to Youth On A Hill and seeing so many youths like myself wanting to live in this revival generation and make an impact in the world, I am vowing myself to do the same. I will live for God... no regrets from the past, no hesitations for the future.

Welcome to the fifth chapter... the latest reincarnation of my homepage. It's now framed up! Frames can a be a scary world... I'm a bit apprehensive of what's gonna happen. But I hope everything will run smoothly...

I apologize for the big mess my site is in right at the moment. I still need to fix up many areas of this page! I am a frame newbie... but hey, the summer stretches before me so I can take the time to perfect this place. ;o) Please do let me know about the kinks you find in the site... I would like to fix this site up as much as I possibly could.

I've added a few brand new feautres... the chords page has songs for guitar playing pleasure. Exhibit explains the photos in the intro page. And visit boredom if you are bored!

Well, before I go, read about why this site is now called the fifth chapter.
