Rewind Is Done

Wow. It has been a while since my last post and I can't believe how fast time has passed.

I just finished up a tour with Matthew Fish from Kansas City, MO. We toured representing North Central University where we are both currently studying Children's and Family Ministry. Our tour took us to Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Missouri. Our first program was November 2007 and now we are done.

My favorite time was when we did a week of Kid's Camp at Spencer Lake in Wisconsin. We did 7 full programs (anywhere from 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours) in four days. In the afternoons we had time to reherse and set up, but we also were able to go and play with the kids in the water and on inflatables.

Matt and I had a lot of disagreements, but not a lot of arguments. We got along well and it was great to have someone else sharing the stagetime and helping with loads of props to and from the car.

Rewind

Matt Fish and myself have officially finished the semester at school and have been traveling representing NCU's Children's Ministry department. As of now we done 10 different events (certain spots have multiple services) and have performed in front of over 2,400 people. We are developing all of our own material and presenting the Gospel to many who have never heard.

We are currently rooming together in Phillips Hall and having a lot of fun.

New Pictures

Here is a picture that was sent to me from Cedar Valley Church in Bloomington, MN. I have helped out in the children's department for the past year and I am able to do some of the fun stuff I've worked on in Kid's Church.

This is a little off subject, but I started swing dance lessons last night. It is a stretch because I have not taken lessons before. I hope to be able to use things I learn in the class in performance and in stage movement.

Cirque Imaginings Pictures

I've seen some great shows recently. Fielding West in Saint Paul, MN and Triple Espresso in Minneapolis were great. I was able to go with Greg Phillips and my father Randy. That had nothing to do with these pictures, but it was still fun!

I was thrilled when Pam sent these photos of last summers "Cirque Imaginings" Tour. Pictures were not allowed during the show but here are a few from pre and post-show in Des Moines, IA.

Kidz Blast

"Rewind" was just at Wisconsin Kidz Blast, and it was a blast! Matt Fish and I taught a clowning class and a class on kid's in ministry (what you can do now to prepare for the future).

On Saturday morning Matt was in full clown and we did a routine that ended in a chase off. He ran out first and jumped off the end of the stage in front of over 600 kids. I followed into the hallway where I saw his make-up beginning to streak under his eyes. Turns out he landed wrong and broke his foot.

We will continue to travel and perform representing North Central University through June. I'll just have to make more trips back and forth to the car in order to carry everything in.

Rewind

I have recently been traveling with Matthew Fish from Kansas City, MO, representing North Central University. We have been doing a lot of family programs and most recently taught clowning at Wisconsin Kidz Blast. We will be traveling together through June.

Beginning Juggling

I just released a new instructional juggling DVD. I had a blast making it. It covers learning 3 balls, a few tricks, props, and (my favorite) a couple bonus juggling videos that I filmed at North Central University in Minneapolis, MN.
