The Attack of the Miracle Bubbles
Well, the 30 hr Famine drove some of us over the brink of insanity, and this is the result(after some editing on my part).

The Pancake Competition
Not to be arrogant or anything but.....you can all just call me King Keith from now on. Last night, after a long and greasy battle, with no other tools than a spoon, a flipping thingy, and a frying pan, I triumphed over my friend, Luke, in the Great Pancake Cookoff, and was crowned Pancake King. Feel free to send bribes to my home address.

Hello again.....
Well.....It's been a while hasn't it. Time flies, and now it's almost a year since my last post. Friends have been made, goals accomplished, events attended, knowledge acquired. I've experienced new emotions, seen different places, met new people. Along the way, I've been joyful, embarrassed, worried, ecstatic, sad, annoyed(have you ever noticed that there are more words for bad emotions than good ones?). Yeah, it's been one incredible year. I'm afraid of what's going to be happening, ashamed at was has happened, and nervous about what's happening right now. At the same time, I'm excited about the future, nostalgic about the past, and encouraged by the present. It's good to know that I can always fall back on the present, if the future scares me too much, or the past brings too much guilt. But....I don't know what I'm doing here. Am I doing what I should be doing? Maybe this isn't where God wants me to be. I search for answers, but questions are my only response. My friends talk to me about their problems, and I can never think of what to say, how to help them, because I don't even know how to solve my own problems. I'm going slightly insane I think. I hold long conversations with myself....No, really. I'll start talking to myself about what's going wrong in my life. Is that normal, because, I've been doing it a lot lately. Maybe because I'm the only one I trust. I need to learn how to trust again, but how do I learn things like that? How can I learn, when I don't dare to ask? I'm insecure, I believe that everyone is critical of me. Whenever I talk, I'm terrified of what I'm going to say. Am I going to make myself look like a royal loser? What if I say something that I never intended to say, and everyone starts to hate me. I cannot withdraw, I know that. If I withdraw, I know I'll end up a lonely hermit somewhere. I have to hold on to what I'm doing right. I have to think about the good things I've done, not the bad. I have to think about the times I've made people laugh, not the times of awkward silences. I have to think about my witty comments, not the ones that just made people stare. Most importantly, I have to hold onto my faith. I've let it slip a few times, I cannot let it go. If I let it go, I will never get it back. A short time ago, a few months, I was with the wrong people, and that was a dangerous time for me. I can never make that mistake again. I've alienated myself from a few people to get back, but it was worth it. I can take a few hateful stares, but I cannot lose that rock that I am standing on, am clutching onto. I am a Christian first of all, and whatever happens, I have to stand on that. Sometimes I feel like I'm on my own, but I must never let that feeling consume me. Lord, help me, I am drowning, and I can't get out without Your help. Help me to have the courage to go on. Help me to care more about You, and what You want for me. Help me to learn from my mistakes. Help me to trust You, and the people you have placed in my life. Help me root out the sins in my life. Help me, because You have promised that You will. Guide me in Your pathways, Lord, my Saviour. Give me a light in the world, and give me the ability to shine that light, in the dark places of the world. Give me a heart, that will love those who do not love me. Give me hands that will work only for the glory of God. Give me feet, that will seek to follow only Your will. I cannot do this on my own Lord, I am weak. Give me friends, that follow Your ways. Give me the courage to speak to them about You, Lord. Give me bravery, so that I can give reproof. Give me humilty, so that I can accept their corrections. Give them the knowledge, the ability, and the power to give that correction. Lord, I want to serve you, but I am afraid of the world. Take away the fear from me. Take away my selfishness, so that I will look out for everyone else. Take away my shame, so I can freely tell others about You. Take away the guilt, that drains my energy. Take away the sin, so I can be an example to those around me. Provide for me Lord, I don't know where I'm going, or what I'm doing, but I know that you have given me a task, Lord, and I need you to show me the way. Lord, I ask all this, because You have told me, in Your Word, that you will answer any requests, and I believe You, Lord. I need You now, and I know that You will help me.
