Paul on the way to be stoned...

...but before that, an interview had to be made.

Smile.

After my brother's huge success with his web camera pictures, I'd thought I'd try as well... This is taken during the Worker's Gathering in YWAM Norway a few weeks back. You can see that my teeth were big back then...

Having fun with a webcam, part one.

Fly Flies

Give the fly a chance!



Posing in order for the use and message to be more evident to you.



It was my dad who came back with the fly swatter, and gave us a big laugh.
I hope you joined in on the laughing.

A Summer Recap

It's been too long. I know. And when I finally came by and dropped you a post, it was either Happy Birthday or Happy Birthday.

I could have said Happy Birthday today as well, because Sigmund has his birthday today, and I just came back from his party. I did. Say Happy Birthday, that is. But that's not all for now.

I'm 23 and one month today. Hooray for me.

But all of you would rather hear what in the world I have been up to this summer?
I could start at the beginning, but I won't. The beginning is far to long and with few events. Brazil didn't win the World Cup, and Italy did. I don't know which one disappointed me more.

Then, I need to back up a little, to a week in June. It was spent at the feet of one of the women I have respect the most, Darlene Cunningham. She taught at a event called Slingshot, and that first week happened to be an open week, and then I joined. The teaching was great, and to spend the days together with around a hundred people from over 20 nations is an experience I wish for all of you to have.

After Slingshot I had a week working my summer-week in Skien, and then I had some weeks where I hung out with friends, went for a trip to Skjærgårds (The Seaside Music & Missons Festival as they call it in English), and saw Stryper for those of you who know your history lesson concerning Christian rock, you know it was a historic and great experience. The rock legends alive on stage, rocking as they did in the 80s, with fans who weren't born in the 80s even.

Yeah, and before Skjærgårds I had my birthday,
and after Skjærgårds, I had my birthday party with old and new friends in a happy gathering as you usually have on birthdays.


I got a party-gun as a present, and the BANG! is too loud, that's why we all have our eyes shut.


And then we celebrated David, my look-alike brother's birthday a few days later, with all the jazz needed and some more.
Here he is, just after having been awakened by the beautiful birthday choir, and given the gift from me.

For example the "sporlek" we had, a huge success.

This weekend I was in both a wedding (just the ceremony) and in a birthday.
It was Heidi and Øystein's wedding. Congratulations!


The beautiful married couple. Just married.

And it was Ann Helen's birthday. Happy Birthday!
This week has been spent reading books, swimming, working in the garden, playing Settlers and singing and writing the longest blog entry in a while.

Next week is the annual fall-worker's gathering for YWAM Norway, so as a YWAMkid, I'll meet up there and enjoy the fun. See you there for those of you going there, but that was quite obvious...
