So the long awaited day has arrived. my shaggy hair is gone! After 4 long years of long hair getting in my eyes and whipping me in the face, I have cut most of it for a shorter style. The first cut took about 45 minutes to do and was done by a couple of Kaleo students that had little experience in cutting hair. That hair style lasted about a week before I decided to ditch the long look and go for the short Fo-hawk. So after 2 hours of still outside in the cold watching my hair falling the final product was so:
So there it is short hair
So there it is short hairAnyways other then the haircut, we did have other things to do. We had a class with Jim this week and I had fun actually paying attention this time. I had gotten through the idea that Jim's course was just CIT and learned a lot more about Qwanoes then I knew before.
At Warmland this week I was overwhelmed at youth group by the same 3 screaming girls who this time decided that instead of playing with my hair that they would steal my hat instead. So the entire night I was running around trying to get my hat back. Next week, now that my hair is really short, I'm not wearing a hat. Warmland had their first Deeper service of the fall this Sunday night and it was a sweet experience. I was working both sound and video so I gained the experience I need to do both at church later this year and opens up more doors for what I might do this summer at Qwanoes. What I liked most the Deeper service is the fact that it was much smaller and much more focused on going a lot deeper with Christ.
Then came Guys night out. A sweet time of just boys off doing what boys do best. Eating steak. We had a great time just bonding as guys and I think it was one of the best times we've had in Kaleo so far. We had a question time where what we did was just open up and ask any questions we had about anything and as a community we could answer the questions. I can't tell you what any of the questions were but I can tell you that it helped us come together as a closer group and enjoy comforting each other in our questions.
Looking forward to whatever this week has in store!

Hey Josh! It's exciting to hear about what's going on on your end. I know you can't say any of the questions or whatever, but I'm just wondering if they were like, questions about eachother, questions about yourself, about Jesus, the bible, theo, or all of the above? or otherwise. Also, is stuff like that (guys night out) put together on the students' initiative, or is it something jim/the interns or something put together?
most of the questions that were asked were just us asking questions about things we're struggling through and how we can, as a group, help each other through them. Also, all of the events and activities we do are put on by Jim and the interns. The only thing that is student led is Monday night worship.
ohh okay, thanks for clearing that up man! so like, did people ask each other what their struggles were / how they can help or was it more, someone would talk about their struggles and then ask for support in a certain way? has the group gotten pretty open by this point? i have a couple of the girls' perspectives, but have yet to hear anything from any of the guys on how that stuff's going
yeah the group has gotten pretty open by this point and we're all very supportive in things that we are all going through. I don't really want to go into much detail about what happened on Guys night just because it's a Kaleo 6 guys thing but we asked questions about what we were going through and then the group responded with helpful advice and prayer. Other then that I can't really say much more.
