all weekend long other youth workers and myself have been lamenting over the fact that we couldn’t be at the conference this year. now that it’s just about over it feels a little more relieving but please satiate our desire to be there by telling me where the next conference is going to be-please!!!
Hey Josh,
Did you actually fall off the bed into the floor on that last jump?
Jake totally took a cheap shot when he slapped you. BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Very funny video!!!
Holy cow!!! My great niece would have said that. Poor Jake. I hope you didn’t crack a rib with that! His punch didn’t even begin to catch up to the abuse you dished out! HA! Thanks for a great conference and for helping me step into the 21st century with my very first blog posting. Aren’t you proud of me? Thanks for your presentation on blogs last night…and I’d like to redeem this post for an “AIDS shirt” as you promised!! Blessings on you and your ministry. I’ll keep tabs on your site from here on out. Ruth
HA! Too funny! My brain is absolute mush after this weekend, but my soul is definitely feeling fine! What a great conference! It was great catching up with you at the blogging workshop on Sunday night. I’ll be posting pics later this week. I’m kind of stuck in Champaign, IL until the weather clears up. Oh… and by the way… I’ll take an XL Tee…
And if that iPod still needs a home, I’ll add it to the prize list for the upcoming contest… or, of course, I’d gladly give it a nice home…
Josh…I love all the videos…you guys did a great job!
As well, it looks like your blog has become big time with the advertisement on Youthministry.com, currently you have 36 people visiting, I think that’s more than I have ever seen at one time on here.
Keep up the great work!
Josh:
It was great to see you this weekend. Hope you had a good flight home. Love the videos, can’t wait to see the “Banned” video. My brain is mush, but enjoyed the blog workshop. I’ll try to blog it all down later today. If you got more of those Aids shirts, I’ll take a medium.
brilliant.
