I've discovered that Saturday Night Live is really only funny when an election is going on and then they are hilarious.
Some of my recent favorites:
McCain on QVC
Palin and Hillary
And my all time favorite so far, The Palin Rap.
Now go vote!

Namibia Video
I promised it so here it is!
The song in the beginning is in Africaans and says, "Jesus made me beautiful/Jesus made me beautiful, Jesus made me beautiful/From my head/These are my hands/These are my feet/Shake your body, shake it!" The kids are in a classroom we worked in at Rehoboth High School during out third week there.
The next song is "Mine, Mine, Mine" and is also sung by the kids at RHS. Then there's "Marching in the Light of God" and they go from English to Africaans to Nama, which has the clicking sounds.
After that there's me singing and playing "Sufficient for Me" by Scott Cunningham.
And the video ends with a group of RHS girls singing "When My Jesus" in English and then in Nama.
Some of the pictures are from the high schools we taught in, Dr. Lemmer, RHS and M & K Gertze. We were in the high schools on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays most weeks teaching their Life Skills and Religious and Moral Education classes. Sometimes we were substitutes for the teachers who were not there that day. Most of the time we would introduce ourselves and then let the kids ask questions about America. In every class we were asked "Have you ever met any celebrities?" Needless to say our answer was no and we explained to them that there are about 400 million people in the U.S. so the odds of seeing a celebrity without paying for a concert ticket were pretty slim. They also had good questions about what the high schools were like and what America looks like, if everyone has blue eyes and what our families and hometowns are like.
Eventually we got to ask them a few questions and got into a conversation about who God is to them. In Rehoboth roughly 90 percent of the people go to church but not many of them, especially the teenagers, do not know why. So we talked to them about that and they had some very good questions that led to great discussions and a few friendships. I believe we made the most impact in the high schools because we were able to build friendships with some of the kids. They feel more free to talk to us than their teachers so we talked to them about what was actually going on in their lives and the struggles and problems they deal with. Those kids have a lot of enthusiasm and potential.
On the other days we worked at the Soup Kitchen and did community outreaches in Block E, the poor section of Rehoboth. The Soup Kitchen is run by the Rehoboth Covenant "Tent" Church that Hannah and Emily's host father pastors. They are still in a tent after 15 years of being a church because instead of spending their offerings of getting a building, they are reaching out to the community. One of those outreaches is the Soup Kitchen. Every Wednesday morning a few people get together, go grocery shopping, make a huge pot of soup and distribute it to Block E and a few other places within the town. When we were there we would cut up the veggies, wait for the soup to cook and then take a big container full to a "house" in Block E where the children would come with their bowls and tupperware containers and be served some soup. Then they would either take it back to wherever or sit and eat it with their hands since none of them had spoons.
The first time we helped out with the Soup Kitchen was also the first time we saw Block E and we left speechless and devastated. We were overwhelmed by the condition of the houses and the appearance of the kids. We learned that many of the children do not eat but one meal a day if that. Block E also does not have any running water except for one tap on the far south end so the kids do not bath regularly or wash their clothes. It took all we had to not break down and cry on the spot.
But the more we went the easier it got and the more we could see how much we were helping. Not only were we giving the kids a healthy meal, we were also showing them that people do care for them and that they are not forgotten. The Soup Kitchen was definitely one of my favorite things to do and I always looked forward to Wednesdays.
During the first week we were there we were also able to visit a few primary schools or kindergartens. The kids clung to us instantly and we had a great time playing with them and singing songs. They were extremely cute and photogenic so they are all over the video.
It was such an amazing trip and there are so many other things to say and I have no idea where to start on the rest. So if you have any questions just post them in the comments and I will get to it.
Thank you to everyone who supported me. You were definitely a huge part of all the good that was done and I appreciate it.

College Edition
A video clip from News in Color, a guy on YouTube.
Warning: Some slight language, but nothing you won't hear on cable.
New quotes!
"Just say no to post-modernism."
"Once you graduate, your life will officially suck."

Snow!
So much to blog, so little time!
So we'll start with the fun stuff.
It snowed yesterday! I have no idea what time it started, early and went until at least after 11pm. I believe about 2 inches fell but I honestly have no idea.
This was the first time I have lived somewhere where it snows and it was awesome. For Bible Study this morning the kids and I had a snowball fight as well as made snow angels and a snowman. Of course, because I'm "in charge" I had to be tackled.
Several times...
Let's just say I couldn't feel my legs and I dumped an entire snowman out of my hood when we were done.
Good times.
And now you get to enjoy in the funess as well.

Music Video of ME!
Thats right! And now I have a music video of my very own. One of the gentlemen I work with at the Blue Heron owns Planet Ten Entertainment LLC and when he found out I play the guitar and sing he asked if he could make a music video of one of my songs and I said yes. So here it is! (By the way, if you have a YouTube account, PLEASE go to YouTube.com and rate, favorite, comment and subscribe! And if you don't have an account then make one! It's really important that we get the word out and that LOTS of people see these videos. Thanks!)

The Sounds of Charles City
I put together a video of some of the music at different events I've been to here in Charles City, Virginia.
The first is a calliope at the County Fair and then Curry's elementary school singing Swing Low, then a blue grass band singing Swing Low as well. The last is the Grand Opening Dance of the Chickahominy Indian Pow Wow. All of it great.

Tippy and the Tribble
Curry and I chased around the cat with the Tribble Meagan bought me in Las Vegas. I know its kinda mean, but it was freakin' hilarious! I found this song on You Tube. You can watch the whole thing here if you're a Trekie like me. Yes, it's a real song by a real band that makes CD's based on Star Trek.
Awesomeness.
Awesomeness.

Chicken Pot Pie
Before I got here, the family had an inside joke going about Curry and chicken pot pie. They were eating a restaurant and the waiter was taking their orders. When it came to be Curry's turn, he told the waiter in a sing song voice, "chicken pot pie".
That may not be funny when written so I took a little video...
I didn't know guys could marry dragonflies and then have them fly away with chicken pot pies...
