Hey guys just wanted to let you guys know that my cousin sent a video out to g4 to try out for American Ninja Warrior, and he got nominated to go to the Tryouts in California! I'm so psyched for him!

Thanks everyone, he's flying up today, the tryouts are on tuesday. Please pray that he does well, stays safe, and that God uses this for his glory.

Yeah her reaction is my favorite part xD

And about the ghost kids video, my cousin does christian haunted houses in his church every year. Their not hell houses cause they don't take you through how they think hell is like or whatever. But rather his is metaphorical, and each year is a different theme for example Deception (which is the one this vid is used for.) was metaphorical for how satan is a deceiver and how we should not believe everything we see. (we always give the message at the end and the plan of salvation as well. :D ) He produces, writes, and stars in each one, so yeah you can tell that he's passionate about the ministry XD

Wow, he's got the skills to maybe do well on that show! Very cool - I haven't watched it in years (dumped cable a while back), but Ninja Warrior was one of my favorite programs.

Ninja Warrior was a cool show back when G4 was part of our tv package.

Okay guys just an update on his adventure in California:

So now he's over there and yesterday he got to see the course being run and video tape it.

For anyone with a facebook here's the video. Note: The man running the course at the time of this video isn't him. American Ninja Warrior

Pray for him please. My cousin is getting nervous because he goes on in about 3 1/2 hours from now, it's been raining all day, and his ankle isn't in the best condition cause he hurt it a couple of weeks ago. No doubt God will use this to his glory, let's just pray he keeps Joe safe and gives him the confidence he needs to surpass this obstacle. :D

Also, a quick side note I was wondering if you guys would help me with something. I wanted to show joe just how much we all support him so I was gonna make a fan page on facebook for him. Now I know this is weird, but I thought it'd be funny if next time he sees his facebook he gets an invite to this fanpage for him where not only his family and friends are their but even people he doesnt' know seem to be supporting his endeavor. He'd look at it be like this. "This is cool!!!.. but who are these guys?" XD.

So I was wondering if you guys would add yourselves to the fanpage when I create it so that he could see all the support that's behind him. (which might be tonight if he makes it.) I'll see if I could give him co-ownership of the fanpage so he can post up videos of his adventures while he's there. What do you think guys?

I would totally help with that ... if I had a facebook.

It's a cool idea anyway.

Sokay, well anyways if anyone wants to help with the Idea here is the link to the fanpage.

Like it and put up some cool words of encouragement. Acting all fanboyish or fangirlish would be even better. XD

EDIT: Hey guys just got news that he didn't quite make it through the course. He fell at the same part that you see the guy in the video falling in. Well no matter what I'm proud of him and what he's done and if you still want to say some words of encouragement then I know he'll be appreciative of it, so go check out the fan page and put in your two cents. Thanks guys for your support!
