Pastor Mark Darling and the ROCKeteers!

Before we decide to land ourselves in the Arctic Ocean, we do a little research on board the vehicle!

After much reading, we find out that the longitude and latitude would bring us nearby Franz Josef Land, Russia! But after the "Time of Fire" the land mass has changed greatly and it appears to look like the same land mass on the "Holy Mountain" map!

We found it! But unfortunately we were interupted! Explosions all around us, to keep us from moving, and a voice over a speaker that says; Surrender! You are all under arrest by the "United National Military"!!!

We see that there is a tank, truck and heli-copter facing us!

I discover that I have only one more burst of a E.M.T. and without too much hesitation, I send it at them!

The heli-coptor crashes! I did not think about causing bodily harm and I leap out to see if I accidently killed anyone. Nate yells at me and come running along side me with the laser rifle!

Too both our surprises, we find out the the heli-copter is empty!? NO one could of got out of this crash quickly! Then we checked the truck and the tank...No one inside any of these vehicles!

Nate finds something that looks like a remote control device. Could the "United National Military" be a front for something?

We decide to investigate this at another time! We run back and prepare to land in Franz Josef Land, Russia!

As we materilize, we notice something odd! It feels like a hand is holding the vehicle and moving us gently. As we move, we look out the windoow and see an encampment! In the encampment we see several ROCK banners. "We found them"! We all say, almost in unison. We then land gently to the beach. We all exit the vehicle.

It appears that there is a translusent barrier, kind of like a "Bubble"? Ahhhh...the DVD was a clue:)

We then see a figure approaching through the bubble field...and it's Pastor Mark Darling!!!

Pastor Mark says; Welcome Christian Soldiers!

Pastor Mark tells us that they are actually stranded on this island for over 9 months, even though it is like heaven on earth. The ship that they sailed on was bombed and destroyed. The Rockers wish to get back to the world and outreach again!

TimeWalker has a solution and we go into his timeship and pull out several jetpacks!

TimeWalker; I found these jetpacks in an abandoned factory in the 23rd century!

We handed out 40 of them! The ROCKers now have a means to get off the island, 40 at a time. The ROCK expanded since last I meet them to a large number of 3 thousand!

The Jetbacks are fueless, and run off of solar energy and magnetic fields!

TimeWalker, Nate, Tobi and I were about to walk through the bubble when Pastor Mark said; I am sorry guys, but you need to return to your time zone!

Pastor Mark then turned to Lily and said; You are welcome to join our family.

Lily agreed and we said our goodbyes. Me and the boys fought back tears, and we charted our trip home.

Next Time: Loose Ends!

Peace!

Quest for the Holy Mountain Part 2

We uncloak and land safely in Vadso, Norway, desperate to find another clue to where the ROCKers are at?

Lily spots another bunker! I jump out of my vehicle and run towards the bunker, excited to see what is the next clue! Upon entering the bunker, all I see is colorful graffiti, and I look around further, but I don't find anything tangible. I sit down in disappointment.

Tobi, Lily, and Nate enter the bunker. TimeWalker is busy in the vehicle, working thru some calculations on the computer.

Nate sees the graffiti, and says that he thinks he sees a message in it. As I was looking, all I found was DVDs that was quite possibly the worst 3-D sci-fi movie ever made, called "The Bubble"! I know about this since I help organize this event at the ROCK in 2004. It was a major flop and very few ROCKers stayed for it, so I am confused to why there are several copies of the movie here? As I open one up, I don't find the DVD, but I find 3-D glasses? We open each one and every case has one pair of 3-D glasses!

Upon wearing the 3-D glasses, we see two sets of numbers 80, and 55.

Tobi finds a journal from one of the Rockers. It states that they were having trouble finding the Holy Mountain, since the location changed after the "Time of Fire"! The journaling continues that they may have found it again, or found a location that is quite possibly close to the Holy Mountain!

The "Holy Mountain" is a much sought after retreat for the ROCKers due to heavy assault from the "United National Military"! According to legend, the Holy Mountain is a protected refuge for Christ followers! Only Christians can enter, and anyone who does not love Christ cannot enter! It is much like "Heaven" on Earth!

We all agree that the number must be leading us to our next Latitude and Longitude...so I enter the numbers, and I find that it would put us in the "Arctic" ocean?

I say; Is it under water?

Next Time: Pastor Mark Darling and the ROCKeteers!

Peace!

Quest for the Holy Mountain! Part 1

Holy Mountain map in hand, we all decide it would be good to find our future brothers and sisters in Christ. My curiousity is getting the better of me and the map of the Holy Mountain seems intriging.

As we lift off, at roughly 5pm, explosions erupt all around us, trying to control us to land. TimeWalker clicks a switch and we rocket forward at high speed.

I ask; Those similiar explosion patterns happened when I was here last time!

TimeWalker; That was the United National Military. Not quite united but they go by that name. You can't fly in airspace without them shooting first and asking questions later. I should of warned you, but I was preoccupied by this map.

Time Walker flips another switch and the vehicle goes into cloak mode. I am facinated by how amazing my vehicle is. I turn on the british talk radio and read my instruction book. Tobia communites with the girl as she talks about her family. Nate and TimeWalker discuss the map and how we can find this meeting place the Rockers listed, quite possibly over a year ago?

I mention that why don't we go back to the exact time that the other ROCKers meet at the meeting place?

TimeWalker; We have to find the exact location first, and even then, we might accidently upset the timeline. It is best that we find then in this year.

Nate opens the letter of the location of the meeting place, and...Nate says; It looks like questions for children?

I ask; What are the questions?

Nate; How many books are there in the whole Bible? And, How many books are there in the Old Testament?

Before I can say anything Lily says; 66 and 39.

I say; Lily, how do you know the bible?

Lily says; the Elders had a library of them.

I was very confused since the bible was not written in the Creatous period. Certainly a mystery for another time!

I state; Now, what do these answers do for us?

TimeWalker enters them into the G.P.S. thingy and we materialize in Vadso, Norway!

Next Time: Quest for the Holy Mountain! Part 2

Peace!

ROCK Revisted

We safely made our side trip. Still scratching our heads on what happened in the Cretacous test zone, we arrived on Day:Friday, Time:2pm, Year:2107, Latitude: 44n59, Longitude: 93w16. Approximately one year after the explosion of the ROCK bunker.

TimeWalker tells me that he will take his time ship back there to investigate at a later time!

I wanted to visited the resting place of our future Rockers and in waiting a year, it will be less graphic. We check on the history of this year, and find out that many nations went to war since food supplies were rare. The population thined themselves out by fighting each other, and there is roughly 200 thousand people left on planet earth.

We tell Lily to stay in the vehicle, as TimeWalker, Nate, Tobi, and myself bring our bibles and prepare to do a service on the site.

Before we can get started we notice something odd?! There should remains of Rockers? I find a secret door, and we all climb inside! Inside the secret bunker is a long passage that leads through caves. I ask the others to stay as I grab two flashlights, and I traverse with just Nate carrying his favorite laser rifle! We find an opening to the river.

We conclude that the ROCKers must of escaped the bombing and took the river to safety. Nate and I were both relieved, and we then made our way back. Back in the underground bunker, Tobi found a map. The map is entitled "Holy Mountain", and we also found a note with infomation on where to meet if any ROCKer was separated during the attacks.

Next Time: Quest for the Holy Mountain!

Peace!

A Planned Community?

We fly towards an encampment, directed by the girl, named Lily (I finally asked her name)

Unforgenately the encampment is ravaged, and we find many tracks of dino feet. I appears that Lily's home was attacked by T-Rexes. The scene was graffic and it was hard to pull Lily away but we convinced her that she had to come with us.

Upon inspection of the surroundings, we see a large stone wall! Being the curious cat that I am, I ask TimeWalker and Tobi to stay with the girl, as Nate and I inspect the stone wall. Nate found a weapon on board that looks like a rifle, and carries it with him. I just bring my wits:)

After a few minutes walk, we find a opening in the wall. It appears to have been blown apart, and this is where the T-Rexes came through, seeing foottracks of T-Rexes.

I say; We best get back to the vehicle and see waht else we can find from the air.

Nate agrees and we head back.

On the way back we see a large tower in the distance! It looks medieval!

As we approach the vehicle, three T-Rexs coming running at us from behind. Nate and I hoof it as fast as we can. Nate stops and takes a couple shots! One of the T-Rexes devices falls off! TimeWalker releases another E.M.T. pulse that stops their pursuit!

We suspect that this is all some sort of experiment, and wonder if we really are back in the "Cretaceous" period.

Back on board, we decide to fly towards the tower! Nate is loving his new firearm! It is more like a laser rifle!

On our way to the tower, unfortunately we meet resistance as a strong windstorm kicks up, from what I see is like a large head blowing the wind at us!

The vehicle takes a nose dive, and I activate the controls to our next destination!

Next Time: Rock Revisted!

Peace!

Keith

Trouble with T-Rexs!

Arriving safely, the onboard timeline computer displays zero again, but after about 30 seconds it displays "the Cretaceous era". I double check the exact time, so that we are dropping the girl off with her family, just minutes after I left! Everything checks out, but it was odd that there was a delay in the display. TimeWalker also states that this is odd.

I open the hatch and let the guys know that we will not be leaving the vehicle or we might accidently alter the timeline!

I never did ask the girls name! As we prepare to take off to our next adventure, the girl looks sad and waves goodbye...

Then, in the distance we see a large dust cloud! We then notice that there is about 20 Tyrannosaurus Rexs heading at high speed towards the girl!

At first I think that we should leave so we don't alter the timeline any more than we have, but my conscience gets the best of me. And the guys also say to let her back in! I open the hatch.

TimeWalker; We better go airborne!

The vehicle attempts to go airborne and a strong wind, out of nowhere keeps us grounded! The T-Rexs are coming towards the vehicle, closer and closer.

I say; The self defense mechinisms kicked in and scared away a dino last time.

TimeWalker says; That only works on one at a time.

We start scrambling around inside the vehicle, and we find a flare gun! Nate grabs it since he has the most profiency at shooting and aims it at the charging T-Rexs!

After three shots the T-Rexs do not flinch! Nate however discovers that they have metalic things on them.

The girls screams and Tobi protects her!

TimeWalker quickly finds a E.M.P. program, and fires away at the T-Rexs!

It works!!! The T-Rexs are dazed and stammer around as through the look to be drunk.

At that moment in the sky I see a face. It looked non emotional and felt malevolent! I asked the other guys if they seen it but they did not.

One of the devices is shaken off by the T-Rex, and after examination, TimeWalker says; these are control devices!

Next Time: A Planned Community?

Peace!

Weekend Wrap Up! Part 2

Saturday was filled with fun times, as we craved pumpkins at Gina and Erica's! Unforgenately it was unseasonally cold out. My fingers were freezing:( I warmed up hot apple cider inside the house.

Time flew by at the party and Nate, Leon, Kim, Maira, Tobi, Anna and I went to "Trail of Terror! The terror trail was awesome, but challenging since the line was long and I had to use the bathroom. No bathroom is sight:( I nearly wet myself, but thankfully made it to the bathroom after transversing 3 quarters of a mile thru the trail!. After that, Nate, Leon, Kim and Maria, had to go, to see what quite possibly will be the worst movie of all time. "A Night with the King" (They did not find this out till afterwards) Tobi, Anna and I stood in line for over an hour just to go on the haunted hayride. Feeling a bit frost bitten, we survived the cold, and overall had a great time!

On Sunday Anna, and I had an enjoyable time at "Severs" corn maze, and again nearly froze ourselves, but we found all the clues in the maze for a "chance" to win $200 bucks, along with hundreds, maybe even thousands of other attends! Still a great time!

That Sunday night we had quite the house gathering that evening as Anna, and I watched "Cyndi Lauper" on DVD, and Lizzy and his girlfriend chilled upstairs, then the TimeWalker (Craig) came over and our friends Michael and Angela joined us as well. Tobias came back from visiting the college small group, and it was a packed house, and me and Anna fought to stay awake for socialality!

TimeWalker reminded me how we need to get the girl back to her time, and as most of our guests left, the doorbell rang and Janelle the school teach and the cave girl were at the door. Janelle, wanted to join us, but I stated on how we were taking a dangerous side trip. Janelle was sad, but the girl and Janelle hugged as they prepared to part ways. At midnight, TimeWalker materializes his time ship into my vehicles hanger bay. Nate joins us, and we bring the cave girl into the vehicle! Nate, Tobias, TimeWalker and I set the time machine to go back to the past!

Next time; Trouble with T-Rexs!

Peace!

Weekend Wrap Up! Part 1

Nate and I got back to our time zone, safely and I promised Dan Rollins that I would take the 12 steps to recovery of my SOBE addiction! I was given a free 24 case of water, from one of the "Yoga Bootie Ballerinas"! Very kind of her!

We took what was left of the antidote and saved it in the vehicle, just in case we encounter the college girls who got away!

Friday, was the start to my weekend, and I drove around the city, with Tobias. I was desperate to find my Halloween costume for Friday October 27th! Tobias was trying to get intergrated slowly to his american surroundings. I blew apart his slow intergration, by showing him almost every type of shopping center in four different suburbs! Still looking for the final pieces:(

That evening went went to our ROCK Church and we had a meeting prior to the service. After the service, I had another meeting about Thanksgiving to the homeless, and then I thankfully got to connect with my Bro Nate to celebrate his b-day! Green Mill was deliecious as usual, but the serivce was lacking that evening. Thankfully the hostess covered us:)

Tobias came back later, after hanging with the college crew. Prior to his return, I found time to look into any reports on those meteoerites! Still no info:( Then I decided to try those crazed fan sites. Nothing there either! Maybe the visual of the meteorites was just my head healing from the knock to my head?

Next Time; Weekend Wrap Up Part 2

Peace!

Cleaning Up!

Nate and I were surrounded and although we had super soakers with the antidote in them, we could not get them all, with the way they were surrounding us! It would have worked better by surprise and they got the surprise on us!

As they got closer, I downed an entire bottle of SOBE and let out a scream that was suppose to sound intimidating, but it came out like I was going through puberty!

I was ready to shoot, and then I was interupted by a womens hand, pushing down my super soaker! It was Kita Rollins!, and I had a hand on my shoulder, and it was Dan Rollins! They rest assured Nate and I that they could handle this!

Kita yelled out and many ROCK women (they will remain nameless) came flying out! Ballet style! Dan told me and Nate to simply sit down and enjoy the show!

The Rock women were using dance moves and ballet and some were meditated in strange poses and then it looked like they teleport to the the other side of the college cave girl group while taking down several combatants. It was the most amaxing visual as these Rock women defeated the college cave like girls with ballet and dance moves, along with yoga!

I then I asked Dan; It that crazy exercise routine?

Dan said; Yup these girls are using a modification to "Yoga Bootie Ballet"! They must remain nameless, Keith!

I promised Dan that I would not say who these girls are and Nate promised as well!

After they defeated almost all of the college girls, (Some of them got away) Kita and Dan took the antidote, sprinkled on the college girls heads, and handed them ROCK cards. This was literally a butt kicking outreach method!

Then Nate and I thanked them and before we could leave, Dan Rollins said; Not so fast Keith! We need to talk about your problem!

I said; ahhh...what problem?

And Dan pointed at my empty SOBE bottle...

Next Time; Weekend Wrap Up!

Peace!

Keith

On the Hunt!

On Thursday, after work, upon analyzing, the mud and the fur, to determine what year she came from, I found a virus that is thankfully not deadly, but it creates a strange effect in a girls mind. Only girls in their 20s. It only works if they come in physical contact. The college girls came in contact with the girl, and the virus spread to whomever the college girls were in contact with.

I picked up Nate at his place in my vehicle, and I showed Nate the onboard lab and showed him the discovery of why these college girls were getting out of control! After Nate did his best to take in the wonder of my vehicle, we then created a cure, and checked the timeline to see when was the highest gathering of these girls so we could administer the anidote? It took a little thinking as to how to administer it, and I had a wild idea! I found two super soakers in my vehicle and we had two large jugs of the stuff so we could drop the hoses of the super soaker guns in the jugs and start soaking:)

We found out that the day of Wednesday in evening October 18th, there was a sighting of over 50 college girls, and we went back to that time.

Nate stated that we felt like he was still dreaming from his late afternoon nap, and felt like he is in a movie. I stated how I am still trying to take this all in, but in the meantime, I am gonna have a blast doing it!

We landed near the west bank of the U of M, and I changed my vehicle into looking like my car. We carried the jugs and soakers as close as we could to the gathering of these girls and got ourselves focused on the setup and getting ready for soaking.

As we got done prepping, we looked up and they were not there anymore? After looking around, to our dismay, the college girls had creep up from behind and then surrounded us, as they had their wooden sluggers ready for clubbing us:(

Next Time; Cleaning Up!

Peace!

Keith

Meet Tobias!

Wednesday evening at 5:35pm CST, my friend from ROCK Berlin, Tobias flew in from Berlin Germany. He will be staying with me for three weeks, and coming to our ROCK church and working on building friendships before he goes back to Berlin.

I was impressed that the flight came on time, so I did not have to wait for a long time! I admit that I am impatient!

I got Tobias back to my swinging pad, and as soon as he settled in a bit, we went to "AppleBees" for a delicious meal! We talked about politics, religion in Germany, and then we talked about girls.

Coming back to the house, I was concerned on how to keep Tobias from seeing my vehicle, but instead I could not resist and told him about it!

At first he thought I was talking about a video game, and then when I gave him a tour of the vehicle, all he could say was; It is bigger than anything I seen in Germany! Your vehicle has too many options!

As we talked about my vehicle, Tobias pulled out a bag full of german choclate for me! Very generous and very tasty! Tobias brought 10 pounds of chocolate with him to give to his american friends! I am glad that I am one of them:)

After some good talks about the vehicle, I had my roomie spend time with Tobias, as I ran some tests in the chemistry lab I have on my vehicle! After analysis of the mud, I finally came up with a time, but I can't just use this, because I need to pinpoint the exact date and hour that we left. I found some animal fur, and tried this. Still not pinpointing. Then the light bulb went on in my head and I found a program that shows me a log of where I traveled! Finally!

My cell phone rings and Nate asks what project do I need help with!

Next Time; On the Hunt!

Peace!

Yoga Bootie Ballet and Belated Birthday Cake!

I felt bad about not letting the scrawny girl stay at my place, but we have strict rules in my house!

The story about the scrawny girl is that she climbed aboard my vehicle when I was in the most amazing outdoor woodland area! The school teacher Janelle, said that she seen the girl walking around my place several different times! Janelle approached the girl , and the girl said that she was just trying to get back in and hopefully back home?

Janelle said; The girl actually spoke amazingly good english, and she is very intelligent!

I asked Janelle if she can take in the girl and then to come back on Sunday night?

Janelle was hesitant but eventually she agreed, and I headed to bed and get my much needed Zzzzzs!

Tuesday morning, and afternoon on October 17th, came and went and that Tuesday night I went over to my friends Deb and Kim's place for my belated birthday cake and they expressed how they would love to view Doctor Who!

For those that don't know, Doctor Who is a British Sci-Fi series that has been around since 1963 and is still going strong. It is about a Timelord who travels in a Time Machine. (Notice any similiarities to my current happenings?)

The Birthday cake was "Better Than Sex" cake, and at first Deb had a hard time saying this, since she was scolded for sayng this in the past! This is just a recipe, not a naughty experience!

They also mentioned how they practice "Yoga Bootie Ballet"! Deb told me about this before, and I still can't stop chuckling over those words! Although I am slightly intriqued to what this is , so Deb said; An uplifting full-body workout that blends modern dance, ballet, yoga, ab work, and strengthening!

I said; I can't say that word with a straight face!

The evening went by quickly and I home and back into my vehicle. I need to figure out what time this girl came from since on onboard dash G.P.S. thingy read zero!

Next Time; Meet Tobias!

Peace!

Keith

By the Book!

Monday morning October 16th and I can't find anything about the meteor shower in the news, internet or even the inquirer news rag!...Maybe I need to wait a few days to get the info?

Time flies in the morning and I best head out for work!

The workday blew by and thankfully it was a very blessed day! I found out that I am number one on the team and I was well rewarded to more gift cards, and bonuses that will appear on my paycheck soon:) I unforgenately was heavily distracted during lunch as I was trying to read my Bible! Hard to concentrate when the TV in the lunch room was blasting! Interesting enough there was a news report on airborne viruses"!

Once I got back home I went on to the next research item! "The cave women sightings!" I read the Onion and it reports that college girls are dressing like hollywood versions of cave women are carrying around baseball bats and clubbing men over the head and screaming "MINE"! This info is being supressed by the MPD! They don't want the chaos to spread anymore than it has already! It is quickly becoming a popular fad amongst many college girls from several surrounding colleges in the Twin Cities area! One gal in custody stated how they seen and touched an actual cave woman, and it gave these gals a wild idea!

I call my Bro Nate and leave a message, asking if he wants to help me with a project!

I jump back in the vehicle, and review my golden instruction book, while listening to bristish talk radio (Craig's suggestion) The book is coming in much clearer, with british verbage:) In the book I find out that my vehicle has an extensive library, which will come in handy with research! I also find out how many other helpful rooms this vehicle has! (Remember when I said this is bigger on the inside than the outside?)

I tune into my onboard computer, and check on why contact with this cave woman would cause girls to go crazy and start clubbing men? It does not make any sense?

I am then interupted by the doorbell ringing! I hardly ever check the front door, but I feel compelled to do so!

I open the front door to my place and standing there is a woman that looks like a school teacher, and a scrawny girl in animal fur, with muddy feet!

Next Time; Yoga Bootie Ballet and Belated Birthday Cake!

Peace!

Keith

Sunday Sightings!

After much rest, I wake up on Sunday and do the normal routine, plus clean up the muddy glss door. I was hopeing that would be just a bad dream?

My Sunday morning went really fast and soon it was time to meet at Sarah, and Emily and (I forgot their third roomies name) house for Homeless Outreach with Ben, and some of the college crew! I was glad that I brought more than enough food stuffs for the homeless. I was kind of sad at the low turn out of homeless, but that could be due to the recent cold weather that we have had in Minnesota lately? The weather this Sunday was amazingly warm! With the outreach being nearby the Basilica, It was conveniant since I had to use the bathroom to whipe my nose and so did our new college friend Brittany. She did not see this, but I noticed muddy footprints on the marble steps!

On our way back I heard two homeless guys complaining about a scrawny girl getting in their foodline and eating their food. The mystery seems to be unravelling!

After packing up we head back to the ladies house, and Ben, Andrew, and I get ready for Small Group! I had to stop at Walgreens for my SOBE fix and I could not beleive that they had the Onion newspaper! One of the local articles had "girls go wild" (not to be confused with the naughty video tapes) The picture was illustrated with college girls in cave-like outfits carrying wooden baseball bats! Very odd, but this might explain the overloads at the ERs! I fold it up and carry it with me for viewing of the article later!

Small Group was a great time as usual, and got into a good bibical topic! I am looking forward to our social time at the Brenne's (Our SG leaders:)

As I drove back home, I noticed some bright lights in the sky and pulled to the side of the road! In the south east I see what looks like a meteor shower! I then think; I bet this is my fault?

Next Time; By the Book

Peace!

Keith

Out Reaching Part 2!

Saturday October 14th, I meet up with Ray Sweetman and Anna Bruhn at Nate and Craig's place! They are all great friends O' Mine, and good company! The Saint Paul Art Crawl outreach was good, but I was disappointed by the low turnout of ROCK participates. I was glad to team up with Ray and Anna! I had a great talk with an artist named "Lawrence Paul" but his real name is Larry Peterson. I bet you can guess why he goes by Lawrence Paul? The name, Larry Peterson in to much like John Doe! Larry is colorblind, but make amazing water color, oil, and acrylic paintings! Anna had to buzz out after an hour and a half, but she made two contacts! Awesome Anna!!!

Ray and I crashed at the "Black Dog Cafe" for some healthy eats! Ray had the Bagette with Ham and Bree and I had the "Snack Platter" which consisted of gouda cheese, fine bread, black and green olives, sausage, and artichokes! It was delicious! Ray and I tried to outreach afterwards but we became to lethragic after our meal, so we cruized out at 4:30pm. Ray went back home and I had some hangtime with my Bro Nate! Time well spent!

Jon Dordals party was a blast and many Rockers showed up! It was a great time and I enjoyed the socializing, and catching up with Rockers that I have not connected with in a while. My friend Deb, was talking about her new exercise routine called "Yoga Bootie Ballet" and to my surprise, a few other ROCK ladies know of this and practice it as well! Everytime I hear about it, it makes me chuckle!

I cruized out at 11pm, and noticed that my voicemail had a message. It was Craig. He said that he would not be able to meet up with me, but I need to get in my vehicle and check to see if timeline is ok or altered? He could not give me any details, but said I need to be thorough in my search! My weekend was going great and now it's back to a time vehicle that I wanted a break from:(

After the party I arrived home and found more muddy footprints on my sidewalk. I looked around the townhouse, and then I found more footprints on my patio! No one was in sight, and I found that the mud had dried. I enter my garage and carefully lock it behind me. Kind of freaked out by the footprints all around my place. I open my vehicle, and turn on the G.P.S. thingy to get a look at the timeline! After several minutes everything looks good, but I can't forget that Craig advised me to be thorough!

I check comparisons of the timeline. Happenings that would not really have much of an affect on the timeline, and I finally find something! The number of admissions to many ERs increased, but mostly minor head injuries, and strangely enough, all admissions are male! Then I also find that the sales in solid oak baseball bats has gone up! Not really understanding all this, I decide to report my findings to Craig, leave a voice mail and move on.

Before heading to bed, I head to my patio, to get a look at the night sky, and I am suddenly startled but muddy hand prints on my sliding glass door! I am too tired and freaked out to go outside.

Next Time; Sunday Sightings!

Peace!

Out Reaching Part 1!

Back to single postings, or until I go off on my time travelling trips again? :)

On Friday night October 13th, the ROCK message was great from Tim Grunditz! The clips we seen from United 93 were very emotional and brought out out strong emotions in myself! I liked Tim's three points of what options we have in life! 1. We can Compromise to this world! 2. Engage in the battle! 3. Yield to Christ! We know that yielding is the best option, even through engaging sounds like the right one, we will go down fighting like the passengers on United 93. The main point of yielding is admitting that we can't do it alone! Many Christian churches say that if you are a good person, that it is good enough! There is a book that is titled "Choose the Religion that is Right for You"! What a load of crap!!!

I should of been downstairs praying with my Small Group on this night! I was talking to my leaders earlier that day and they reminded me, and I still forgot! I am gonna blame it on the food poisioning and the time travel since my memory is usually amazingly sharp! Any way it was good for me to be with my brother in Christ Ray who is slowly plugging back in to the ROCK.

I hosted game night at my place after the ROCK and 20 ROCKers showed up and we had a good time of munching pizzas, snacks, some fruit, and overall good conversations.

Once everyone left and went home, It was 1am in the morning and I heard a girls voice outside? I ran downstairs and looked outside, and no one was around. Then I looked down and...muddy footprints! I left Craig a voicemail since he was at the Fallout shelter (Source Ministries) rocking with other musicians! Yep, my bro is a rocking time travelling dude! I think I am slowly gonna get used to this time travelling business, BUT I need a break from the vehicle, just to get my bearings on this reality!

Next Time; Out Reaching Part 2!

Peace!

Keith

Home Sick

Safetly back at home, Craig and I are thrilled to have everything back to normal! Craig said that he would get back to me on the muddy footprint thing!

Tuesday night house church was great! I was glad to see our small group represent the majority of the house church! Go team!!! I am already looking forward to Friday at the ROCK!

On Wednesday during lunch at work I ate some bad "Sushi" and I got a touch of food poisining so I was very ill from Wednesday night thru Friday! I ended up calling in sick on Thursday! It is sad when a food item you really like ends up hurting you:( I caught up on sleep, TV shows on DVD, Movies, and read in the Onion, online, about continuos reports about a cavewoman. Sounds like they are gonna stretch out this joke as for all it is worth?

Oh..., but I bet you are wondering what happened to Craig and I once we ran out of fuel for my Time vehicle? (I still have trouble calling it that)

Here is an interesting short trip!

Day; Monday October 10th, Time; 8am, Year; 1989, Latittude 40n02, Longitiude 83w10 "Hilliard, Ohio"

Craig and I wake up and find ourselves relatively undamaged. The ship is great shape. I am upside down, laying against the door of the vehicle. Thank goodness for saftey locks! Craig legs were sticking up and his head was on the floor next to the accelaration and brake petals!

After a little time of recovery, we were relieved to find out the the vehicle has solar panels that kicked in and an auto-pilot that landed us sately to the ground.

Craig then said; Lets refuel!

Me; With what?

Craig says; With trash!

Me; ???

Craig says that this vehicle is an enviromentally friendly machine, and it runs on trach much like the delorian car in the movie "Back to the Future"! The time travel dealers are also mechanics that are enviromentally minded!

Remember when I said, now that I hear it all! Now I have heard it all!!!

What a stroke of luck that we landed right next to a dumpster in a suburban neighborhood! Craig pulls out of the vehicle, what looks like a suction tube that is connected to the vehicle, and he puts it in the dumpster. Craig tells me to switch on! And after about a minute, the vehicle reads full! I am learning more and more about my crazy time vehicle!

Then on screen, I see a blip! I tell Craig and he quickly puts the tube back in the vehicle and rushes into the drivers side!

I ask Craig; What does this mean?

Craig says; It is one of the DVDs! It has to be!!! The ship picks up inanimate objects that have timestream residue! It helps in finding objects that don't belong in certain time zones!

Me; I'll take your word for it! (Still having a hard time with all of this, and being bonked on the ehad so many times, I could be in a coma?)

I then ask; How far away is it?

Craig says; Just one block west!

Me; Awesome! Ahhh, what about my vehicle? I large gold heli-copter, jet looking vechile kind of stands out in suburbia!

Craig says; No problem! (He pushes a button and it turns into a station wagon)

Me; ???????? how?...ahh, nevermind. Let's find that DVD!

As we approach the area. A man comes out of his house, to get the paper and he finds the DVD right on top of the paper!

Craig and I both scream inside our head (Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo)

Before we can get there, the man already read the back synopsis. Craig and I approach the man and before we can say a word, the man says;

Hey guys, I bet you are looking for this? He had a smile on his face, and assured us not to worry. After reading it, he stated that this only gave him stronger faith. He said he would keep it his secret, and he handed us the DVD. He then said, that he would love to chat with us time travelers, but he had a meeting at the campus to discuss Great Commision Ministry plans.

We thanked him and went on our way!

I asked; Craig who was that?

Craig simple smiled and said; One of the founders of GCM.

We climbed into the vehicle, changed it back into the gold colored heli-copter, jet thing, checked the time line just to be sure, and we seen that even though we are still missing one DVD, the time line is still unaffected!

We then went home!

Next Time: Rocking Weekend!

Peace!

Swimming in the Time Stream!

Not sure how Craig obtained a Cosmonaut looking space suit, but he said it would be protective as I am out in the timestream retreiveing the DVDs! I was very unsure about this at first, but with missing our ROCK brothers in sisters in Christ, I find my motivation!

To my surprise, Craig showed me that in the backseat on the floor is a hatch door that leads to a hanger bay! The inside is bigger that the outside. Craig stated what this meant, but I am too preoccupied by what my task is!

I did notice however that on the floor of the hanger bay, there are dried mud footprints. Looks like the feet of a woman, since it appears that the foot size might be a size 5? I told Craig and he climbed down. Craig noticed another hatch on the floor and it lead out under the vehicle. It was left unlocked. Craig then said; Those Time Travel dealers always sell these with this door unlocked! Argh!!!

I stated; There is such a thing as Time Travel Car Dealers? Now I have heard it all!

Craig then stated that we best get our mind back on task and worry about the stowaway later!

The suit is really bulky, but Craig assures me that I will have no problem grabbing the DVDs in the Time Stream!

Out I go, and then I remember, that with the explosion, there was some large debris!

Craig responds on the com-link; Don't worry, the suit is solid and it will protect you!

I state; ok (sheepishly) And here is comes! The first chuck of debris is very large and...WHACK!!! Ohhhh, that really hurt!

Craig asks; Are you alright? That looked like it really hurt?

I just growl and brace myself very the next impact! And here comes another...oufff!!! Right...in...the...gutt...

Smaller debris, the size of pellets pepper me!

Then here comes the DVDs all at once! Grab, grab, grab, grab, grab, just keep focus and keep grabbing!!! Then once that looked like the last of this, one the doors from the ROCKs military bunkers hits me hard!!! WHAMMO!!!

Stay conscienc...stay awak...don't pass...out...

Craig quickly reels me in, and I wonder if I am gonna have another concusion?

After I cool refreshing SOBE (yeah I know I am addicted to the stuff, but it is sooo tasty:) Craig and I count the DVDs.

Now one of them is with us so that is one! We count 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...ahh, lets recount! After counting again, and once again, Craig has his hands wrapped around his head, and I am simply cradling my much knocked around head, and we try to think of what is the next move?

I state; Lets just check the Time Line, and see if there is any progress.

On the screen, we see that the Time Line is restored! I jump up and dance a victory dance and hug each other (in a brotherly way, mind you!)

We did it we both exclaimed!!! Then...we heard a disturbing alarm sound! beep, beEP, bEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!!!

I say; What is wrong?

Craig says; We just ran out of fuel...

Me; Ran out of fuel???

Craig states; Those dealers only fuel the vehicles for test flights! I forgot to tell you to re-fuel!

The ship then gets caught into the Time Stream, and spins out of control, as we both scream like little girls! AHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh........

Next Time; Home Sick!

Peace!

Keith

Saving Grace!

Craig dropped off his mother and we plan to reconviene at my place! I stop by the convienance store and pick up the Onion newspaper for some comic relief! This will help reduce my stress. In the local section it has a picture and an acticle about a cavewoman at large in Minneapolis! The picture looks like Raquel Welch from the movie "One Million Years BC"! Gotta love those Onion reporters!

I got home and I checked to see if Lizzy was around, but I could not find him or his car, and when I went to his room, it had my old office setup! Not only did the ROCK disappear, but so did my roomie who was saved at the ROCK! Craig explained that Craig and I are unaffected due to being time travellers! We know the true time line! I stated that I am still very confused about this and not entirely believing this just yet. I asked Craig to please tell me that this is all an elaborate prank.

Craig's face became serious, and he stated; We need to save the ROCK and the loved ones affected by it's loss!

After twenty questions by Craig, we finally figured out that the DVD "The ROCK! 100 years in the making!" is actually a true documentary of the ROCKs 100 years! Not the ROCK TVs spoof that I thought it was. The ROCK had it's ups and it's downs and there was much loss and tradegy, but also great stories of faith! Many ROCKers were lost in wars and the time of "Fire"! The time of "Fire" is when the world heated up so much that the whole planet burned! Pastor Mark on the DVD referred to it as purification!

I asked Craig, why I was not part of this DVD history.

Craig says; I put a filter on this so you would not see you and anyone directly connected to you in this DVD, since no one should view their own future!

I then muttered; Al Gore and those scientists were right! Ah Hah! That homeless guys was saying "Mal Smore" but he meant...

Craig asks; What are you muttering about?

I said; Nevermind...ahhh lets try to figure out why we lost the ROCK?

Craig operates the controls of my vehicle with mastery and we view the moment of when I jumped into the vehicle to get to safety! The explosion sent debris and 10 DVDs hurling at my vehicle! When I popped out of time, and into the Time stream (words told to me by Craig!) The DVDs came through and must of scattered through out time and space? Craig then said, that we need to pinpoint what part in history that these DVDs ended up in and how did it affect the loss of the ROCK?

In 1998, Pastors Brent Knox, Greg Larson, and Mark Darling viewed this DVD. It was very frightening for Pastors Brent and Greg, but it only gave Pastor Mark more drive and faith!

Craig says; No one should see there future. It can have very harsh repercussions to there future!

Pastor Mark decided to show this to the 90 plus church planting ROCKers, thinking that this would also instill in them the same faith and drive. Almost all the church planters left in tears and did not return. Pastor Mark was devasted, so the three Pastors went back to their roots of Evergreen. The ROCK was finished!

Evergreen only became a quarter the size that it is today. Pastor Brent and Mark, thought their members should also view the film, as a test of faith and many of them left.

Me: So how do we find the DVDS?

Craig: We will fly the vehicle into the time stream with the right timeline entered into the system and, since I have better control of it, you get to fetch DVDs.

Me: I was afraid you would say that:(

Next Time: Swimming in the Time Stream!

Peace!

Girls just want to have Fun, and Other Strange Occurances!

Monday morning October 9th, bright and early and there was no sign of my roomie ever returning home. His car was not parked in the driveway? Maybe he was at Pastor Marty's house?

Anyway, I had to switch my focus and get to work! This evening Cyndi Lauper has her concert at Saint Kates! Work went by quickly, and I meet up with Craig, his mom and Anna, at Nate and Craig's place for the concert! Nate and I were catching up from the weekend! Nate kept talking about Evergreen Community Church through out our conversation. I was puzzled since the ROCK is both our home church. I was trying to find an opportunity to talk to Craig about the vehicle, but with his mother there, it was kind of tough to begin talking about it with others around.

At the Cyndi Lauper concert at Saint Kates, Cyndi Lauper put on quite the show! Cyndi told strange stories of a large picture of Jesus on the wall of the home that Cyndi grew up in and how it looked like the eyes followed her! Cyndi also shared the story of her birth between the song of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"! Cyndi strutted her stuff through out the concert at the age of 53! Amazing energy!!!

Through out the concert Craig just kept smiling! I figured that I need to find a moment to talk about it! With Craig's mom since mingling close (quick plug! Craig mom is very cool!) I could only mutter, to Anna; See you at the House Church, and to Craig and Anna; See you at the ROCK! Then Anna had a confused look on her face, and said; What is house church?, and what is the ROCK?

I became stunned, thinking Anna was joking, but she was serious, and Craig, said; Ahhh...Keith, what did you do?

Next Time: Saving Grace!

Peace!

Not a Small Woodland Animal!

It is Sunday October 8th, 7:24pm CST, 2006, Latitude 45n05, and Longitute:93w20. I am safely back in my vehicle and in my garage at home.

What you are viewing from the onboard camera of this vehicle is what I found in the woods! I never thought I could run so fast, and I never thought I could outrun a Dinosaur! My bad for thinking that a small fuzzy, woodland animal was coming out of the woods, and I encouraged it! I page through my instruction book while listening to some smooth jazz so I can relax and read the words (if you did not know early, the book can only be understood while music is playing) and I find out the the default settings are A.D. so in going to the past before that time, the instruments would only read zero. I set the vehicle for all time and space, just in case, still not fully believing this!

I am really beginning to wonder if this is just a dream or is this true life? The lump on my head feels real enough, and maybe it's a concusion? I am just glad to be home again! The Dino tried attacking it, but the vehicle emited some low sound that sent it off. Thank you technology!!! I wonder on how many days I have been in this thing? It reads the present day, but I feel like many days have passed!

I am pleased to know that my roomie Lizzy is out and about with his girlfriend! No hard questions this time!:) As I get out of the vehicle, I notice a muddy foot print on the side of the vehicle. Maybe there was someone out there in the wooded place? Can't focus on that now. I shut the garage door. The vehicle thankfully came with a cover, much like one for a car. After much effort, I get it covered!
Tending to sore muscles and minor bumps and bruises, I crack open a cold refreshing SOBE Energy drink, and I get ready for much needed sleep.

Next Time: Girls Just Want to have Fun and Other Strange Occurances!

Peace!

The Great Outdoors!

Starting to wake up after being tossed about from multiple explosions! I am not sure how long I was out, but the G.P.S. thingy must not be working, because it reads "zero". I check the outside camera, and I see the most majestic view! I get out of the vehicle, to check and see how much damage there is to the vehicle, and there is not even a scratch! It is still shimmering gold! Underneath the vehicle I find a DVD of "The ROCK! 100 years in the making!" I can only guess that it hit the vehicle and wedged into it, until I landed. The DVDs of 2106 must be made of stearn stuff?

I can't help but notice how the air is so fresh and clean. The weather is warm and sunny so I take off my leather coat and throw it in the back seat along with the DVD. The bump on my head still hurts, so I figure it is best to seek out a ranger at a DNR station since I must obviously be in a national park! The trees are large and healthy looking. Beauty for as far as the eyes can see!

I lock the vehicle, pocket the gold key, and go for a stroll in the great outdoors. I hear a river in the distance, and there are many waterfalls, streams, and lakes! I climb up a summit and find an overlook! Incredibly majestic view!

Walking further I accidently step in mud:( Oh well, that should wash off?

After several hours, I have not found anyone and definately no civilization! Where am I? Maybe the explosions got me and I ended up in heaven? I explore further and I notice that the sun has been up for some time now. Maybe I woke up in the morning?

Suddenly I hear a rustling in the forest! Maybe it is a small, fuzzy, woodland animal? I am anxious and I try to coax the woodland animal out. It would be so cool to pet a woodland animal!

Next Time; Not a Small, Fuzzy, Woodland Animal!

Peace!

Still ROCKing after all these years!

According to my G.P.S. Gadget, it is the year 2106, Friday night 7:25pm! Upon entering this military bunker, I am greeted by the user greeter team, and I don't fully recognize any of them, but some of them look like ROCKers that I know.

I receive a bulletin and I notice the date on it matches the date on my G.P.S. gadget, so either this is real, or an elborate prank! The message tonight is "Trails: GOD's master plan for growing us"!

Looking around, I see many new young faces! Looking over the info table, I see copies of the One Year, ROCK stuff, a large stack of DVDs of The "ROCK" 100 years in the making! and I think to myself, that the ROCK TV guys finally put it to DVD! and last but certainly not least, the ROCK picture book!

In the picture book, there were pictures of ROCKers I know, but they are older looking. Maybe it is stage makeup? Then I see Pastor Mark Darling! Pastor Mark hasn't aged a day! I approached him and I wait for my ROCKers friends to come out laughing, but this does not happen.

Pastor Mark reached out his hand to shake mine and with his eyes wide open he asked me; Are you a grandchild of Keith Stangeland?

I shake his hand, pause, and then I decide that I better play along; Why, yes I am, my name is Sven (ok, so I could not come up with a better name at the moment, but since I look very norwegian, I figured it was a good choice.)

Pastor Mark Darling asks; What happened to your Great Grand Dad?

I respond; He suddenly left the country for an extented time.

Pastor Mark Asks; How is he doing?

I respond; He passed on.

Pastor Mark was then distracted by a older looking man who needed Pastor Marks undivided attention. The man looked like Karl Quickert. I figured, noooo, probably not him?!

Still looking for signs of an elaborate joke, the bunker gets hit hard! The floor shakes and I wonder if it is an earthquake, or bomb? Not that I ever experienced a bombing before! I run from the bunker and out to my gold vehicle. I fumble for the key and open the drivers side. As I start to turn the key, and hold the shift, I experience a barrage of explodions, and I am flung backwards. The shift was pulled completey down, and I knocked my head, hard against the window. I start blacking out.................

Next Time; The Great Outdoors!

Peace!

Keith

Climbing on board!

I am very impressed by the interior of this vehicle! According to the instruction book (in the words of Barry White) It's a Time Machine Baby!

I am not that gullable, but I am taken back by a book that changes inscription with music! One mystery I probably won't ever solve?

I am not to surprised to see an awesome sound system in this machine! This will make reading the book much easier. I find it tuned to a british radio station! Sweet! This must have "Sirius" programming!!! I will really have to thank Craig for this one! He spared no expense! But where did he come up with the cash to buy a vehicle like this? He works for a company called "Great Apes", making an ok wage, but this would cost a small fortune?!!

The interior looks like a four seater of a nice sports car! The seats are covered in black leather! Smells factory fresh! A gadget mounted on the dash looks like a G.P.S.?

Notice that I am really excited, since I am using some many explanation points!!!

I find a black leather coat in the back seat and I put it on! It fits me perfectly and smells brand new! Inside one of the pockets of the leather jacket is a gold colored key. The book states that it is the key to this time vehicle.

I decide to wait till it gets dark outside, so I don't get too many questions on why I would be driving or flying around in a gold colored heli-copter/jet looking vehicle! Further reading the book, I am pleased to read that it also drives like an automobile, but instead of wheels, it hovers!

After reading through the book, but not entirely through it yet, I notice it getting dark, so I jump out of the vehicle and open the garage door! Jump back in, turn the key and the G.P.S. thingy reads the current Day: Sunday, Time: 7:23pm, Year: 2006, Latitude: 45n05, and Longitute:93w20!

Next time; Oops!

Peace!

The Mysterious Book!

The gold colored vehicle that I received for my birthday looks like a mix between a helicoptor and a jet?

I receive a phone call and it's my friend Sarah Lawrence letting me know that the Afton Apple Orchard outing is canceled today, due to rain. I am bummed, but on the other end, I am saving roughly $9 bucks, which I will probably spend on SOBE Energy drinks anyway? Yup, I am addicted to the stuff!

As I pop open a cold refreshing SOBE Enery drink, I open the passenger side door and find a book on the passenger seat! It looks like an ancient book, but in amazing new condition, and smells like it just came off the printing press! This book is also gold colored, and measures roughly 8 1/2" in height, 11" in wideth and about 3 inches thick! It is beautifully decorated!

I am not ready to step inside this vehicle just yet, but I am interested in reading this book. With plans canceled, I can spend plenty of time with this mysterious book. I open it, and to my surprise, I can't read it!!! It looks like a mix of chinese and greek alphabet! It doesn't help that I only know two languages! Good english and bad english, and I am very fluent at bad english!

As I am trying to understand the book in my garage, I hear booming rap music nearby, and then the text starts to become somewhat clear, but it starts off as "Yo Homeboy"! Since when does a book start off as "Yo Homeboy", unless of course it is "Snoop Dogg's" memoirs! The book is worded in ebonics, and I am having a tough time with this...then, as the music fades off, the book returns to its unreadable text.

I walk into my house with the book wide open, trying to see if I can distiquish any words, and I hear my roomie Lizzy playing his club-techno-industrial-gangster music again, and the book is suddenly full of all kind of obsenities! (Just a disclaimer for Lizzy! He listens to that music to better outreach to the troubled teens!)

I decide to page through the book and find pictures of the vehicle in it. Pictures of what looks like controls. Finally it hits me!!! It took awhile for my lightbulb in my head to come on, but I think I know how I can read this book! I turn on my radio and it was set on a jazz station! The book becomes clear, but it looks like it is written by "Barry White"!

Next time: Climbing on board!

Peace!

A Belated Birthday Gift!

Today I received a belated birthday gift! It is a large gold colored machine, about the size of a car. Good thing I have two car garage. The neighbors would be asking questions, if I had it parked outside.

The card that was attached to it, says; Greetings Keith Neil Stangeland, I am "TimeWalker" and I wish you a very happy birthday. Sorry about it this birthday greeting being belated. It is a very long story about being on the other end of the universe...anyhow, I hope you will enjoy this gift to its fullest! Your friend "TimeWalker"

As I scratch my head, I try to remember who I know that goes by the name of "TimeWalker"? I know many people, but I can't place who is Timewa...ahhhhh, I know, TimeWalker is Craig Larson! I will have to call him and thank him for this large gift. It must of costed a small fortune? He did buy me one of my favorite Doctor Who DVDs (a british sci-fi show about a time traveler) Why would he throw in another gift?

I am puzzled to why I was gifted with such a vehicle? I don't even have stuff like this on my wish lists, and besides, what the heck is it anyway?

Next time; A Mysterious Book!

Peace,
Keith

StoryTime

Hey Gang,

Going forward, each day I will be weaving a fun storyline! Why you may ask?

Rather than random mutterings about life, I thought it would be best to tell a edge of you seat story with cliff hangers and make this blog much fun to read!

My father is one of the best storytellers I know, and I have also been giving the gift of writing and telling stories, and I usually set them to cartoons! If I get the time, some of my cartoons will be seen:) This will also help with brusing up on my writing skills. I have been working on a comic book for years, but I am stuck on some of the writing aspects:(

Until then, stay tooned!

Peace,
Keith

Time Part 2

Today is my day off from work, and I still feel like I don't have enough time to get eveything done:( A time machine would come in very handy, but then, knowing me, I am very clumsy with my hands and I would either, accidently put myself into the ancient past or distant future!

I wonder how chaotic life would be if the majority of the populance had a time machine? History would never be the same again!

I think it would be vey cool to hang out with J.C. during the last supper:) Chilling with the apostles and sharing a large, delicious meal together:) I think you start realizing where I am going with this? If we had more time, we would just use it up! It might be for very practical happenings, but we would be right back to wishing for more time!

What I need to do for myself, is get back to the way I used to be! Organized!!! Time to dust off my planner:)

Peace!
Keith

Time Part 1

We are fascinated by Time. Watches, Clocks, Sci Fi Time Travel shows, you name it! I believe we want to control our lives so much that it translates to complete fascination of Time! We never get enough, or we feel trapped when it seems like we are stuck in forever! We want more time, over money! I actually heard several people saying that they wish they could buy more time! (Figurativily speaking) If you could contol time, what would you do with it? What would it look like? Would it be in the form of a watch, a time machine, a car, or merely think it and you are there?

More thoughts on this to come:)

Peace!
Keith

Game Night!

Hanging with my Bro Nate and Rocker crew was a fun escape from my week! The game Hilirium is soon to become on of my favorite games! My friends Nate, Sparks, Leon, Anna, Bethany and me played Hilarium, and was out of control! I laughed so hard last night, especially when "Sparks" was pretending to put on pantyhose! "Hilarious"!!! I highly recommend buying this game and bringing to your next game night or Small Group social! I almost wet myself! (Was that an inapproiate comment?

Game night was so fun overall, playing with friends new and old (Christine, Anna Leisa, Lauren, Nate, Anna Bruhn, and many other friends) that I almost forgot the severe storms raging through the city!

Peace!
Keith

Small Group?

It was Sunday night, and I figured that we would be expecting 16 peeps and a bunch would be new peeps. To my suprise we had 19 peeps, with a total to show of 21! It is the biggest small group I have ever been in! Now I am not complaining, but I was a bit overwhelmed at first! I am excited to see some new faces and blest to have so many that I already know in the small group! I am definately looking forward to knowing all 21 peeps better through this year! Us men are outnumbered this time! This will definately be an interesting year for the ROCK, with big small groups (sound like an oxy moron!) and house churches!

Small Group adventure stories soon to come!:)

Alter Egos Part 3 of 3

Ok gang,

here it is, as promised! Here is what I would be online fulltime, if the world was a burning cinder!

It is cool?! I would be a radiation blastin punk rockin superhero! Name is "Proto Punk"!!!

I don't play this character very often, but when I do, I enjoy kicking supervillian butt!

On a day like today, with the temp being 80 degrees and a wonderful breeze, I could not imagine being locked away indoors! I was outside for a number of hours! I usually play "City of Heroes" at night or during severe rain or winter storms, and only about 90 minutes to 2 hours at a time. Even in the winter I enjoy getting outside! So I hope that you all don't get sucked into the internet for long periods of time or make gaming your life goal! It is a great escape, but my advice is to do it in limited doses!

Peace out!

Keith

Alter Egos Part 2 of 3

Hey Gang,

Get a load of this pic! Talk about doing a double dip in laziness! Not only are they sitting on their rumps in front of their computer/laptop, but they are also sitting on their rumps online!!!

Now I can understand this, if are world is in a nuclear holocast! But since we still have a livable world, it is time for these peeps to get some sunlight!!!

But enough of me bashing! Lets get back to what I promised about discussing from the last post! Imagine that the world is a burning cider in space, and we somehow find a way to live underground? What kind of avatar (alter ego) would you be? If you get the time, add your character to comments!

I would be a british punk rock super hero! Here is an awesome pick of one superhero I created online called "Proto Punk"! He is powered by radiation and uses it to kick villains hind ends!!! Since I am having trouble posting the pic in the place I want it, on this entry, I will include it in the next posting!

Now you may be wondering...wait a sec...he is bashing onliners, but he makes a character of his own to play online! Just to let you know, I am not be hypocritical, but just stating that it should be important to how much time you spend online. I schedule my time online, and rather than creating a character that lays around, I have him fight crime, and solve mysteries (brain exercises:) I try not to be online for longer than it takes for peeps to watch movies!

Part three, coming up soon!!!

Peace out!

Keith
