We enjoyed this morning hunting Easter eggs at my parent’s church. They set it up so different age groups were in different areas so the babies wouldn’t get ran over by the big kids.
I loved being in the toddler group where the kids shared eggs with each other and then got tired of cleaning up someone else’s mess on the playground and decided to swing or slide instead.
That was a much more relaxing egg hunt than I remember having in elementary.

Don’t forget to vote each day through Friday for Tim in the YouTube Next Up contest.

Go here to vote.

If you see this Wednesday night make sure to put a vote in for Wednesday. And then you have 2 more days to vote. Tim needs all the votes he can get in order to make it to the next round, and then it’s out of our hands. And after Friday we’ll stop bugging everyone several times a day, and go back to our normal lives.

03 Apr 2011 Go Vote! Help our family out!

I apologize for copy and pasting an email….but we really need your help. This would be an incredible opportunity to open a bigger door on YouTube for youth ministry.
Here’s a message from Tim:
Hey everyone! I entered the YouTube NextUp contest and am now a semi-finalist! To make it to the next round, I need as many votes as I can get! You can vote once a day until April 8.
I’m pushing the YouthQuestions channel where every week me and several other youth workers answer teenagers’ questions about the hard stuff they’re going through in everyday life. In the near future we’ll be including teenagers giving their advice and help, as well.
If you haven’t checked out the YouthQuestions channel on YouTube yet, it’s YouTube.com/YouthQuestions.
If the my video entry becomes one of the top 25 voted, I get:
  • $35,000 in funding to produce a new project, purchase new tools and advance my YouTube audience
  • A spot at a four-day YouTube Creator Camp in which I’ll benefit from one-on-one mentoring and learn an array of production techniques from leading industry and YouTube experts
  • Site-wide promotion of my final work and channel across YouTube
This could be an amazing opportunity for helping so many teenagers online hear Godly voices and influences about the real issues they’re experiencing every day.
Please vote every day until April 8th and hopefully we can bring a Christ-centered message to impact teens all over the world through YouTube!! Get everyone you know to vote every day, too. Please leverage whatever networks you have and help me spread the word! (A YouTube account is required to vote, but getting one is free.) The direct link to share is:
