THIS IS A TITLE

Well this week was crazy… we had our hermeneutics class. It was pretty intense we talked about a lot of pretty cool stuff but something that stood out for me was the idea of baptism and whether you need it to be saved. I never thought you did but some people in my class who believe that you must be baptized to get into heaven. We talked about and it didn’t really change my opinion on it, I wish the Prof was a little more clear what he thought though, because it does say both things in the scripture. So as far as comments go feel free to give what you think… I’ve been thinking about baptism to lately even before that class cause when I was baptized I didn’t really get it or understand what it was all about I just really wanted to go in the water I was like 8 or something. So me and another guy here were thinking about asking Jim about that. It would be pretty cool I think. This week at youth was pretty awesome my small group is starting to pay more attention and the kids are starting to open up more to the Kaleo students. In church I was working with the older kids so we talked about the parable of the lost sheep/coin/son. Well that’s pretty much my week, I feel really bad because I never know what to write in these things and there are always really short. So if you want me to add anything just ask in the comment section and I will try to answer eventually.

Any who this week we are going surfing and I’m really looking forward to it.
Prayer Requests: Patience for me…. thanks

these weeks are going bye sooooooo fast

As I said these weeks are going by way to fast. I feel like I was just writing a blog yesterday. Sorry about the no pictures but I’m not much of a picture taker you can look at my facebook pictures if you want. I’ll try to get some pictures eventually but no promises. Last week was pretty fun, guys night was awesome we started with some hockey which I was really not very good at then we played at a park. Followed by steak dinner at Jims house (jim is like the kaleo boss man for those of you who don’t know) then some girls came over and we had some really cool conversations about god and relations ships and stuff (I know it doesn’t sound like a normal guy night right lol) its bible college J. This week in church I worked with this kids it was a blast! Although I don’t think warmland is very good for my walk with God just because of the audience it directs its messages to. I am not saying that it is bad I am only saying that I will not grow much. Anyway… this week we start our hermeneutics coarse we had our first day today and it was pretty intense but apparently it gets easier I looking forward to it. For those of you who don’t know what hermeneutics is it is how we study or interpret the bible so I think it will be really helpful for every over class and just life in general. Well I guess I will write again next Sunday …or Monday
Expect me to complain about how hard hermeneutics was lol

Hello again everyone, this week was pretty exciting for me because…I was sailing! For five days my class and me went sailing with S.A.L.T.S a Christian sailing program it was pretty sweet. We only really had one day of actual sailing though but I didn’t really mind I just liked being out on the ocean I didn’t care if we were motoring of sailing. The food was really good but I didn’t really think there was enough. We did lots of fun stuff we explored some island, picked some apples, and they set up a rope swing for us to use. The water was so cold! But it was definitely worth it.

Now onto the important stuff God. I dint really feel like I was very close to Him on this trip simply because we didn’t get a lot of alone time and we were always busy. The few times that I was able to be alone with God were pretty good I started to read through Ecclesiastes which I found really interesting and I never really went through it before. Every night we sang songs including worship songs, that was pretty cool. Cool might not be the right word… when we did worship I felt really close to God is what I guess I’m trying to say.


Coming up this week in Matt’s life… out trip tomorrow caving shopping and swimming and then a guy’s night…. I’m not quite sure what we are doing.

Hey everyone…. We had our first week of classes this week, it was pretty cool I learned a lot. Our professors name was Marv Penner he did a really good job. We learned about spiritual formation so things like spiritual disciplines like types of praying and just was to get closer to God. On the last day of class we had 2 hours just for ourselves with God, mine started off pretty slow, I wasn’t really getting anywhere but eventually I got into it and I felt good about it once I was done. Saturday night we had a dance party which I was kind of spectacle about but it ended up being really fun. We had a “Kaleo’s Best Dance Crew” contest I was in the contemporary dance style group we danced to “I would do anything for love” by Meatloaf. And we got second! After that we were treated with a break from our on-going media fast and we got to watch a movie…. “Save The Last Dance” which is actually really funny, its one of those movies that’s so bad that its good. Through out the week I helped out in my churches youth group and I attended the Sunday morning service and the “deeper” service, which was really cool. God taught me a lot this week about doing things His way, that’s what He really showed me in my 2 hours of solitude, I thought I was going to do things my way but He just showed me that, that was not going to work but in the end I did things the way He wanted and I really got a lot out of it. Well I’m off to go sailing tomorrow and I’m really excited about it, ill be sure to let you all know about it and try to get some pictures up, no promises though.
