So this past weekend, was the weekend of hosting family, telling the parents the good news, and such. Life is decently busy, and all at the same time it is good, God is great. As my parents and uncle were here in the abby, we went second hand store shopping, woot, my family put my list of books in over drive as they got me the mark of a christian and born again. I recently started the mark of the christian by Francis a. Shcaffer, in the first paragraph i was hit, by the reality as christians we try to spread our mark by the images, like the cross, the church, symbols that set us apart, even hair cuts.
But in reality what better to set us apart that the love of Christ!
"its only a thought"
Recently found this song quite interesting, what do you think?
"Silhouette"Thrice
Your eyes, followed me here.
Your eyes, seamless and sure.
They leave me broken and, in need of a cure.
Your eyes, followed me here.
Your eyes, sifting my soul.
They leave me broken and forge diamonds from the coal.
They race me along
the infinite synapse of white lines.
and then while chasing the dawn
with storybook syntax
Your eyes slit the throat, of all I know.
About myself in this life.
This silhouette lie.
And your eyes, speaking in tongues.
Vigilant still, filling my lungs.
Testing my will.
They leave me broken and, bruised and bleeding.
Your eyes, resting in flame,
Leave me breathless again
Like hydrogen
Split on faultlines
or ten years living with
exposure to radon
Your eyes slit the throat, of all I know.
About myself in this life.
This silhouette lie.
Your eyes, Your eyes.
Speaking in tongues.
Vigilant still, lead our way.
Filling my lungs.
Testing my will.
You slit the throat, of all I know.
About myself in this life.
This silhouette lie.
You slit my throat.
Because I know,
That this life, is a lie.
So slit my throat.

WoooW post 50
So heres jsut a quick one, nothing deep an ispirational, nothing that has been stuck in my mind for a couple of days. Its jsut a random event, which i haven't done in forever, and in two days, i have done it twice. Its when you get home from something, and for a couple hours, yes a couple hours i lay in my bed, so comfy and listin to music, barely awake, and just listin, i haven't done it since the days of construction, i think its a nice way to relax, unfortenatly it does nothing for productivity, it also effects the sleeping pattern like nothing else. but on the topic of work, its been good, i work at van belle nursery, the people there are great, a range from mexican to africa, with a few canadians. in afew months i will know my shrubs. and maybel afew flowers to boot. man this week has been packed, this week i took a minor break from coffee, the temptation has been great, but i have pulled through..
DISTRACTIONS
Iam starting realize i am in habit of being distracted easy, i one of those people who see something shinny and have to see what is shinny, if i was a fish, i would be caught already. Today i started writing, and seriously this is about the 20th time i was distracted. Maybe its because i stoped drringking coffee for awhile, i definatly went on binge of drinking coffee this weekend as i traveled home. But on the brightside of things i studied i huge crapload on friday, and continued on saturday except after that i took a two day break, leaveing me here on teusday continuesly being distracted.
I think the worse things are about distractions, is that sometimes they are impossible to avoid, random people needing things on the phone, oh look my turn is up on conquer club, yea thats right iam a complete nerd, with comics and everything, and to top the day off itunes needed to upgrade and was being silly about it.
To continue this day of distractions is the sweet smell of burgers on the barbecue, man somedays having a room outside the cafeteria sucks.
anyways.. i should pull myself off this distraction.

Looking for feedback?
Hey, Recently i have read mark 16:15-18,"He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."",
Iam quite curious of this verse, mainly because of a couple things it points out, in verse 16 it states believes and is baptized will be saved, first question, it might seem simple but really, how do we really believe,?
Iam not trying to question God, but iam questioning myself of how much i truely believe in him, this verse hits me as i think about the signs that Jesus says will follow, to be honest, i don't see alot of these things happening around us, as christians, and it bugs me,
hmmm makes me wonder,, any thoughts?

"legends, and lies, fools and drunks old friends and angels they all belong in this book. My worry is that i'll leave someon out that should be in an awful lot of people have been important in my life." Johhny Cash 'the autobiography'
man i love this quote, i love the way cash writes, and some of his stories amaze me, but the fact that hes trying to acknowledge everyone is crazy, even the people who treated him poorly or helped him, makes me think of some of the people in my own life who have effected me good or bad, makes me include everyone.

A new book, recently i have started on reading of biography's. To start this expediton, i have started reading of the man in black, Cash, its his main title books like the man in black or the man in white, its just a autobiography. Its quite an interesting read already even being a few chapters in, this book is quite similar to the film walk the line, unfortounealty i think there was too much portrayed on his drugs in the movie, but overall it was a good film. I have also began to really enjoy this mans music, its really raw and real,
anywhoo that would be all
laterdays
anywhoo that would be all
laterdays
So i am in love with my new record player, i bought it mainly in thought that i could get music by the number at reasonable price, but the other day i was at garage sale, and oh man did i get a deal, for a couple of bucks i got a whole box full of records, and for the last few days, when i am home iam stuck in my room. .. iam a nerd i swear, just a closet one anyways. all i do is watch toons, and listin to records... haha
blogging again
Soorry for the long absence, i have been writing alot of blogs, but none that really are all that good, mostly just talking about my summer and how cool its been, look there i go again. But recently i have been watching alot of the show 'The Hour' great talk show, there seems to be to no major objective, just interviewing really cool people, quite recently he interviewed a man by the name of Tony campoplo, very fascinating man, But this interview, you can get online at the hours website, but Tony's message of Christs love was amazing, and reallly inspiring.
And today i checked another interview out, an interview based on ex-gay movement, reall horrible stuff to hear, but very interesting, and maybe i can track down the vid they were talking about.. but once again the lady in the interview shared a message on Christs love, onece again inspiring
Once again i realize that Christs love is everywhere, unfortunately Christs love is tainted by humans stupidity between each other. It almost makes me want to apologies for being a Christian, not that being a Christian is bad, but just in the fact that how much retardedness comes along with it, The only fear i have about telling people that iam a Christian is that i hit an a open wound, a wound that is from Christianity. For the longest time i had a friend in construction he was about 45-50ish years in age and was first nations, and every time we had any sort of discussion about Christianity he brought up he first nation reform schools, where when you go to one of the old schools and all the graves behind the school are not deaths of tuberculosis like they say they are but they are actual deaths of beatings. I wish there was an easy way of saying i was Christian without having this stuff come up or at least come up in my mind in conversations..
so apologies for the things that christianity has done, i don't know all of the history, but i do know some, and that some is just enough to say i am sorry..

Loookin back to the last few moths,
So, today i have been doing a little reminiscing of the last few monts slash the school year. On the annoying and mostly negative side the food here SUCKS. it really does. On the less negative side, moving towards positive, is that only one or two classes sucked. I am actually really surpirsed that i haven't failed any papers, except i have failed alot of tests. So on the in between stage of good and bad, is the classes, as there have been the classes which have been amazingly challenging, but the mournings kinda do me in, and i get really grumpy, yea the sleeping rage came back a little bit.
This semester alone, i have done tons of traveling, willams lake, the island, surrey for a youth specialties conference which was amazing, i took more notes in that day then in some classes. I have been to the wonderful island, which is always loaded with good times, oh yea go yassar runs.
I also got eh visit from my sister from saskatchawan, who was kind enough to hang out with me the most, it was pretty loaded with good times as well, OH, i also got a visit from my little sis from the island, we went for tim hortons, and i guessed her color and style of her grad dress, woot. That same weekend, great friends of mine, werner, josh, and james. josh and werner stayed in my room, man what eh party.. i got barely any sleep that weekend due to all the fun and games.. and me and cronk still have a flippin pepper on our desk. yeaup!
Oh.. i read tons of books it comes at a price, as i tired out my eye alittle bit.. and my eyesight in one eye gets alittle fuzzed reading stuff.. err, but i read tons of books and looking back they had a huge theme of faith. And i am looking forward to my next year as it is going to become my prep for living off of faith. i don't know what it looks like exactly, but iam sure God does..
so thats abit of my year.. in a glimse..

silly itunes
I have become addicted, addicted to sermons, poetry, music, at the click of a finger, lightly its been the poetry, that has caught my eye. I usually not a fan of poetry, mainly because i think of English class, sitting there going this so un-shway. These poems are different, the Authors read them aloud, and i mean loud. tis the out-loud poetry style. Yeup something new its cool.. or should i say shway.
What have we lost?
So the last little while i have been pondering, alot of the info that is being taught in my history of the pentecostal Church. From about 1900 to about 1930's there was a wave of healings, speaking in tounges, and massive amounts of people coming to know Christ, and the list goes on. There were conferences where the the building was packed just to hear someone speak about Christ. In 1923 a man named Charles price spoke in Victoria, they had to switch venues to the Memorial arena because they had over 3000 people in attendance, they had numbers up around the figures of 6000. Alot of these people wanting to be healed, and to be touched by God. Theres tons of names that i could drop from this era, who had ministries similar, and or even bigger ministries... People where changed because the Spirit moved...
What changed?
Why don't we see these numbers coming to Christ anymore?, why do we need to specialize how evangelize to this culture? are we missing something? have we lost our reliance on the Holy Spirit?
what are your thoughts?

quoute from my sis..
My sister from the land of the living skies, came into town and we are chatting about life and such, and in the midst of our convo she stated 'the times that i have cried the most have been way more exciting than the times where i have not cried." Very interesting..
Robot Ethics
For all you terminator/robotics fans out there might find this amuzing and interesting at the same time, i know i did when i first read the article in the National Post, Heres a link from the same article just done by BBC ROBOT ETHICS. The code is quite interesting... what do you think of the ethics?
Rant.. about papers/tests/marks
This one isn't a hundred percent pointed at bible school but at schools in general. My rant is at the fact that i can spend weeks on a paper, and just do alright. Doing just alright is ok, is fine to me i put the effort in i studied my back side off. I understand for the most part of why i don't do so good mainly because my lack of writing skills, and on written anything, the best illustration of this is when i was at Camosun taking my first year of carpentry, when it came to the final there were two parts a written and a practical portion of test, so i failed the written portion not by much but i did. The practical i aced, i didn't do a hundred percent, having small problems drawing lines.
So after all that this is what bugs me, is that i can put tons of work into my papers or written portion of tests and do just alright and even fail the test sometimes, where as some people spend a night writing a paper or spend 15 mins studying or doesn't study at all and ace a written exam. This really ticks me off..
I am also sick of stupid remarks on papers and tests. first of all i know i suck at writing, i slowly getting better i think.. so on a paper or test you don't have to point out every stupid mistake i made on the page. I think this is when i started hating school was in middle school and my english teacher asked me if i always had this problem with writing, i want to smack him over the head. Maybe i got the short end of the stick when it came to teachers and encourageing ones, but i think they all need to take a course in encouraging people. And to use constructive criticism because after awhile when i see red on every piece of the test i don't read them anymore.. and get bitter, and usely stop trying to good.. I have gotten better at the whole thing though, i have been continueing to try even though i have stupid teacher.. as a friend onece said " i will never let my education interfere with my education" (Reid).. yeup..
yeup i think thats good for this rant,

books?!
So i have been on a major book reading binge, in the last week i have read multiple books, yay, haha, i might double or triple the books last year at this rate. But i am just wondering what you are reading? or have read? is there any stellar book out there that is really amazing to keep my book binge going?
So i have been denied in my quest to do a coffee shop outreach through the school, reason because tehres only 5 weeks left. if/when i come back next year they seem like they will allow me...
This is unfortenate for the main reasson of .. i will have to have two ministrys, or do i just have one ministry that i don't feel called to, and wait till the summer.. theres better coffee shops in the skid and vic anyways.. ..
theres the update on this topic.. not really sure what iam going to do, i might just read a ton of books which will help me in this quest and try afew things out with in the summer... in my time off..

New ministry.. hopefully
So.. just after i came back from Willams lake.. my heart is over is over flowing again for building a church, and more and more i see it at a coffee shop. It also helps when i was in willams lake, randomly for four hours we held a very small group style church. It was flexible, no one is stapled to the there chairs, about 8 of us entered adn exited and re-entered conversation.. it was also apparent that there were a few people in this group who where not from summit and it just had a huge range of people sharing about Christ and his Kingdom. I might add that this was a public coffee shop, so as people entered the coffee shop and sat, you could tell there thoughts were some what eaze droping. So the whole time my mind went crazy.. pondering and adding questions and actually answering a few..
So here iam a week or so later, and i will be slowly stepping out of the church in mission and i will be starting a "coffee house church" somewhere in the city of abbotsford, or mission or i guess anywhere in a respectable driving distance. This is all still in limbo as i haven't fully talked to Mark Hawkes but i believe this is the direction i am sapose to take so it will work out.
Recently i have started reading the book "God's smuggler" by Brother Andrew.. iam about half way through and its amazing, after all the music i have deleted off my computer that was pirated and everything that is in Gods hands. After reading his biography i am realizeing the more i give to God and the more i leave to his hands is the right way to go. It seems like the more this guy Andrew was broken and had nothing left the more God did, the more God provided for his missions.
This book seems to be connected as I set out to spread Gods word somehow through coffee shops to people everywhere from multi age groups, to non christians and christians and differnt religons, The more i read, the more i go wow, this is going to have to be all God. As this guy brother Andrew sets out multipleble times to go beyond the wall of communists he brought Bibles and everytime gaurds let him by..
Your prayers will be most welcome as i try to prepare and learn how i can be most effective in this big missions field..
Look out starbucks.. and the other coffee shops here i come..

Everything ... without "caution"
So lightly i have been reading through Acts, well actually i just started again.. Bible school kinda takes out the fun of reading the bible.. unfortunately .. you have to press in harder to actually read the word of God. Recently i have been challenged in my life of things i don't need. Being a slave to the extra things, once by my sister who is also being challenged in the way of money and such.. and then once by cj block who spoke at a conference called sno-fear in willams lake.
But as i said i have been slowly going through Acts.. and in Acts 2:45, it talks of selling their possessions and giving the out come to people who need.. Some verses i have been reading are 2 corinthans 9:6-14, which takes also about giving generously..
question? how much of their possessions? are we suppose to sell everything we have? are we suppose live on faith alone? theres many examples of missionary's who have lived off of God, are we suppose to? do we ask for money and receive?
So heres what iam going to do, right now i am saying everything is in God's possession, So everything that i have bought out of my own hard work, with out passing it through GOd is now for sale! This includes everything from my stereo, camera, ipod, cds... From this moment the money that is in my hand is Gods, every purchase big or small has to pass by God..
My compy is in the list too, its just going to be hard to do homework and stay in touch with fellows back home if God takes it away from me..
So any thoughts? is this to rash?

I don't understand
As this semester has started.. and i am about 2 weeks in, i have been everywhere in my studies, but I'm defiantly a little more focused for school, a little more able to concentrate in on reading and studying. But recently i have had a conversation with two great friends of mine, the convo was a along one reaching the early am, But we were discussing healing's, and in away spiritual gifts, and right now this is where i am struggling:
So pretty much I am struggling mainly in the area of "healing". I am sick of the television evangelism stuff, mainly because there is really no verification in the fact that if they were actually healings. I also I'm also tired in hearing of all these healing in missions or there was this guy who healed someone. I am tired of hearing story's that are so far off or don't seem to be real because there is no verification that it did actually happen. It also bugs me of how many sick people there are or how many people have illness and don't know what it is, or cancer, diabetes, i don't see these people getting healed, but dont' get me wrong i understand that we do need to go through trials, and that one day they will be healed in heaven, but it would be nice to see some really sick people healed.
This is even more annoying as i take a class about the history of the Pentecostal Church, and the teacher keeps referring to the "great" power of Holy Spirit, and this happen in the old days and this happened, and as i sit there listing to his thoughts, i think that all of these miracles happened 50 years before i was born. Where is it now?
I'am not very skeptical when it comes to God, but i do have my doubts, we all do. But i find myself struggling with the doubt that i haven't seen major healing or the Holy Spirit come down doing amazing things, But i have seen alot of small cases with afew people speaking in tongues. But i haven't even seen this in awhile. I try to be very open minded with God but i struggle when i don't see anyone doing any amazing things in the Glory of God. Why aren't we seeing people healed, why in our service time at church we aren't we seeing the move of the Holy Spirit, maybe its just me and i am missing something but worship service's seem dead and the messages are hit and miss. I do admit that my devo's are hit and miss also, but ive really tried this semester to give it my all, especially with in my papers i write, in away this has been my devotion as i sit and ponder of God's majesty. Example: The tabernacle wilderness is frickin amazing by the way.. haha.
So there we have it i am frustrated, I know that God is there and he is inside of me, but i don't understand his power? Is there any thoughts out there?

I do admit that my devo's are hit and miss also, but ive really tried this semester to give it my all, especially with in my papers i write, in away this has been my devotion as i sit and ponder of God's majesty. Example: The tabernacle wilderness is frickin amazing by the way.. haha.
So there we have it i am frustrated, I know that God is there and he is inside of me, but i don't understand his power? Is there any thoughts out there?
