:p

[drake71449]

its up now ...i just checked on it

:p

[Kelly]

It worked. Great job. Just one thing. Jeremy said you're supposed to get on and introduce yourself....you didn't do that! :p

[LauraA]

Come on....let's have the intro! :D

[Kelly]

Laura are you still doing one???? We gotta see it!!!! :)

[drake71449]

its said we could...but wasnt a requirement

:p

[Toddrick33]

I have no fire wire port (or video camera for that matter), and no time to secure these items. Still, I have a great idea... one that won't come to fruition. :(

[Kelly]

I know how you feel...I had a great idea for a video too, but right now I just can't afford a trip like that! :( Oh well...good luck to those of you who enter! :) The least I can do is watch your videos a thousand times to try and help you win hehe

[LauraA]

Nothing started at all. It's been CRAZY busy here. I'm hoping our oldest grandson can give us a hand with it since I'm pretty inept at stuff like that. LOL. How about you, Kelly? Did you or are you doing one?

[Kelly]

Read my post right above yours hehe...we did it again! Posting at the same time. Haven't done that in a while!

[LauraA]

Hahahaha! HOW do we do that? It happens so much. (Though like you said, not for awhile.)

[drake71449]

hey guys and gals...lol...if i were you ...yall have pics of J right?...i took vids i had of him and also looked online for some pics of things and used windows movie maker to make my vid...it makes it really really easy

:p

[Kelly]

I LOOOOOOVE Windows Movie Maker! :)

[drake71449]

see its easier than you think ;)

:p

[Kelly]

Hehe I never said it'd be hard. I actually had a really cool idea for a video and I was goin to use WMM to make it :p But it's just too expensive a trip for me right now with me not working. Gotta save every penny I can.

[drake71449]

do it anyways....God will provide a way
better yet if you win
save 2 tickets for me and my wife and we will take you

:p

[Toddrick33]

I actually used to love making videos of youth group and stuff. I used Studio 8. I had so much fun, and a lot of people liked my videos. I just no longer have the equipment or time.

Yeah, like I said before, I got to go to the Unplugged DVD recording by the grace of God, so it's time to let others have their chance to do "crazy" stuff. But fair warning, if I were still in undergrad, I'd be competing as much as possible!!

On the other hand, I was thinking... I would LOVE to sit down with J and share my heart and have him share his... but I realized that over the last few years, we've done just that, even if it's 5 minutes here and there after the show. God has been so good in allowing me to be a part of this ministry, so I'm okay with not winning, or even trying! :) I'll continue to keep on praying for J and the crew and hope that show #36 is on the horizon... I've had quite a drought lately! haha

[drake71449]

wow todd i cant believe you have been to 35 shows of J or is that total of all concerts wether J or someother christian artist or band...you should join the contest if you can
i would love to see a vid from ya :)

:p

[Kelly]

I'll continue to keep on praying for J and the crew and hope that show #36 is on the horizon... I've had quite a drought lately! haha

Hehe I know how that feels! I went to my first J show in February of this year & I've been hooked since! Wanted to go to my second show in March, but that didn't work out. Then my friend and I seriously started considering going to Creation East (even had our hotel booked for the week). But neither of us could get the money saved up. Then I had a possibility in April, but then a festival in June was announced so we chose that one over the April date (both involved travel so we couldn't afford to do both). Thought June would NEVER come! Finally it did. Then just 3 weeks after the show I was talking to a friend and she was like "Man it's been so long since I've been to a show!" And I go "Oh I know, me too!" She goes "Kelly, you just went three weeks ago!" Hehehehe. If I'd known about the secret show in Dallas a little sooner, I may have been able to make that, but right now, the next possibility for me is lookin' like April.

[LauraA]

Kelly, I hope you can get to the April one! I don't see any possibilites for me in the scheduled concerts. Still hoping and praying that they add Madison in there some place.

Tomorrow will be 4 months since I've been to one and that seems like forever! But between my first J show and the second, it was 16 months. Ouch. But this year I've been blessed with 3 of them. And 2 the year before this one.

(Josh, Todd's 35 are only his J shows! Awesome, hey?!)

[cori]

i haven't been to ANY jeremy concerts (or ANY concert, for that matter!!! outside of ATF, i mean...)! i am SOOOOOO doing that contest (you know...once i can muster up the nerve to talk to a CAMERA!!! EEEEKS!!!!!! lol)

still looking into the sacramento show in march that's on leif's myspace schedule.....and still unable to find anything!

[drake71449]

cori i didnt talk to the camera at all...i just did some vids and some word titles and all and put my lil flavor on em and thats it i'm not a big camera person...not to say i cant talk in front of alot of ppl i just didnt want to for the contest...i talk to tons of ppl everyday and i believe that actions also speak loudly too...so just throw some thoughts together and get your vid up and i'll definitely watch it... and todd's the man for 35 j shows lol

:p

I've joined the contest!!!! Please watch my video! =]

I love you guys!

[cori]

that's an awesome idea, drake (are you the "josh" everyone keeps talking to? lol). might take less time for me to try to figure out how to do that (not technologically gifted, here...) than it will to muster up some camera guts! lol

thank you for the suggestion!!! :D

[cori]

that's a great video!!!! :D you're definitely making an impact. :)

[Give_me_Jesus]

thanks sister! =]

[Kelly]

Very cool Miranda!

[drake71449]

i am the josh cori!!!

:p

[cori]

i am the josh cori!!!

:p

lol, ok...trying to remember what names belong to who....so, THANK YOU!!! :D

(look! a SHORT post! can you believe it?!?! :p lol)

[Kelly]

So I just hopped on YouTube to check out the contest videos but can't find any. Only ones I found were Josh's & Miranda's and one other guy. Is there a page where they're all at or are yall the only three who entered?

[cori]

i've been debating all week about whether or not i should sit & mess with my webcam to figure out what's going on so i can enter....

and i reeeeeally want josh to win (nothing personal miranda.....this just comes from a conversation josh & i had a while ago...), so...i don't wanna add another entry - i know i won't win, especially entering this late, but....still don't wanna add another element to the mix, you know? but when josh encouraged me to enter a few weeks ago (when i realized it was most views = winner), i was really convicted - like God was speaking THROUGH josh to enter because someone might be reached by watching my entry (my entry is basically my testimony over depression & how i'm sharing it with anyone who will listen, rather than keeping it locked behind closed doors), so....i dunno....

any suggestions?? :S

[Give_me_Jesus]

Always do what the Lord is leading you to do...I need to work on this one myself. =]

And it's totaly cool that you want Josh to win, Cori, no hard feelings here. If I win, which I don't think I will, but if I do..I can always share the passes. I'm not gonna need four for myself. =]

Love you guys!

[drake71449]

thats what i was wondering if J would allow me to pass on the backstage meet and greet VIP to other campers...that would be so awesome ...plus i would like to get a really special friend of the family to meet J

:p

[Kelly]

I just had a thought. If there really are only three entries, what if they decide to just let you three all come! How cool would that be? :) Good luck to all of you! Can't wait to find out who won!!!

[Give_me_Jesus]

That would totally be awesome! I would have a cow! =] hahaha.

[cori]

josh, i would think that as long as you listed whoever you wanted to have the other 3 passes when you're AWARDED the passes, you can give them to whoever you want.

so.....still unsure about submitting an entry or not....maybe i'll get some kind of direction from the Lord by the weekend....

[drake71449]

I just had a thought. If there really are only three entries, what if they decide to just let you three all come! How cool would that be? :) Good luck to all of you! Can't wait to find out who won!!!

that would rock!!

:p

[LauraA]

Can't wait to find out who the big winner is. It would be great if you BOTH won. Or rather, all 3 entries won. LOL.

[Give_me_Jesus]

Found some more entries on YT! One of them has like 1300 views! It's totally amazing though, they do a WHOLE lot to help people with cancer. That one hits close to home!

Love you guys

[drake71449]

yeah i seen em team iliana they have like 1239 views so i'm way outta the race!!!

congrats to them tho

:p

[cori]

there's still time, josh :) don't give up hope. (can you post the link? i wanna see yours....and....i can add at least ONE view! :D )

[drake71449]

i dont wanna take away from them they have a really awesome testimony and all...i feel so selfish ....so congrats to them...and may God continue to bless their ministry for cancer patients!!!

:p

[drake71449]
