The Events

hey everyone, sorry that I havent bloged in a while. the last three weeks have been quight busy.

I left you with the note that I was going to LYC. I would like for you to know that this year sucked, not because of the confrence cause that was great, but because of my youth group complaining that there was nothing to do. Last year I went to LYC with the vermilion group and even though I was an outsider they still made me feel as at home as possable, and it was probbable the best time that I have ever had. but this year all I heard from my youth group was stupid exuses not to go to any of the rallys. I took a walk around the sancuary and a saw the brotherhood and deep prayer, something that I found last year with the vermillion group but this year I had no one. my youth group found it stupid and decided that a McDonalds run would be more important all this while my pastor went to a Calgary Flames game. Now lets focus on whats good. There was a ausome worship band witch gave me great ideas for some worship songs. the speaker was real ausome and spoke with that Nooma tone. And the highlight of the weekend would have to be hanging out with my brother, I dont get to see him a whole lot but I have learned so much from him.

A week later I went to the Clapton concert and I must say it was ausome to see this guy play. It picked up after the first half an hour. I stayed in augestana dorms with Greg Ostertag and I would just like to say that I now realize why 80% of christians drop their faith in collage. So I would just like for poeple that are in none christian collages to be prayed for because I didnt realize how much temptation they deal with.

Monday and tuesday I had two 6 hour practice sessions with Owen Dargatz for this ausome concert on wednesday. I would like to thank everyone for comming out for mine and Drakes first paied gig. and for those who didnt come... ...well... ...you suck. It was ausome.

Anyways that is my late blog.

bit a little more music than i could chew

Hello my name is Wade Wheeler and I am a wannabe workaholic. This is where everyone in my support group will say "hi Wade". I wright this blog to ask for some prayer. Over the last few weeks I have been telling people that I could do alot more than I could. As I may or may not have told you guys Mr. Casidy has a music program that I am a key member of. I love it but it douse not do good for my time budget. Also I have agreed to do three sets for Owen Dynats, one of which I am missing school for, to play bass at his CD reless party. Also i am going to calgary this weekend from fri to monday for which i miss 2 days of school. also the weekend later i am going to a eric clapton concert which is the day befor my first set with owen dynats. the morning befor the clapton concert i am making a point of being at the harbor lite allience church because a good friend of mine, drake farmer, is speaking. to top it off, our own set in the beigining of april, the wade wheeler experience (jamie named the band), has three practicis comming up. Any who pray for my school work, the schoolwork feels very neglected right now.

Where Credit is Due

As you may have noticed, the last blog was old, as I couldn't wright a new one due to i couldent log in... So I had to make a new one. I wrote a essay on thursday and i totaly blew it, completely ran out of time. with 10 min left in the 1500 word essay I slapped on a quick conclusion and got 1200 words out with no time to spare. I'll keep you posted on my marks.

Anywho, I would like to take this moment to honor two great actors. Criss Farly and David Spade. A great duo who could deliver laugh after laugh. Sure we have our Dane Cooks and our Adam Sandlers but nothing compares to the greats. I say this after watching Dicky Roberts: Former Child star and would like to point out that spade is pulling it together after Farlys unfortunet death.

we always learn

I find it funny that even tho know one will ever read this I will continue to write. It is not because I am a super depressed loser or because I have no friends to leave a comment but because I am not going to give this address out to anyone unless they ask unprovoked. I figure that I am doing things just to be seen doing them. Charity is a good example, I have precipitate in many food banks and such... not for the unending satisfaction or the glorious smiles you see on a otherwise gloomy face but for the luke warm prestige of being seen as a neutral force in the universe. this should not be anyones' motive.The most recent motive of selfish acts would be my involvement in the local worship band that has recently has plagued me with a ever expanding void between me and God as well as a growing relationship with the prince of darkness. You know, you would think that worshiping in a church through the movement of your fingers and the precision of you ear would be one of the greatest things you can offer God. A great verse from the good book "If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell." Mattew 5:29-30. The way I figure it is that my hand or eye is like my playing worship and that I should sacrifice it before going to hell. So what left to do but to act on it. I found my worship leader and good friend James Newman and told him that I must relinquish my services for a while, while I return to the heart of worship (one of my favorite songs).What i find more interesting is the events leading up to this seemingly unorthodox decision. The Sunday before the usual Wednesday youth service is the day the band practice. This was the first day I missed practice, I had every intention to go but yet again the hand of God corrects my stubborn mistakes and makes me miss it. This forces the rest of the band preform as a acoustic set. Me being a spectator allows me to become a follower instead of a leader and may I say "it is sweet". it may not have been the way they played it but a what they played. Instead of the new songs by tree 63 and sonic flood they went back to the old songs that the old back would play and it was a spectacular performance.This was when I learned that there were many ways to worship without being in the spotlight. -Roy Salmon
