After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a] of God. Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." 9Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
"You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being."

Jesus meets us where we are
In the war room last night i had a revealation that we desire to be like jesus right and Jesus meet people where they were and aren't we supposed to do the same? Perfect example of this would be the women of the well in John4:4-25. For example a drug addict, do we go and said sober up now or i not going to be your friend, no you are there for them in every step of the way as a friend when they are in the worst state high on crank or whatever or when he or her is been clean for a few months. Am i am right or i am wrong on this?
Now he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])
10Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."
11"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"
13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
15The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."
16He told her, "Go, call your husband and come back."
17"I have no husband," she replied.
Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband. 18The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true."
"Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet. 20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."
Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."
Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he."
Let me know your thoughts on this one. thanks and grace and blessings.

2chronicle16:9a
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.
Am i fully committed to him, I believe i am committed to him but there is always improvement for me to be more committed to him. How about you? How committed are you to Jesus?
Things are getting better for me due a wonderful time in the war room on tuesday morning and the prayer of nicole before going to the war room on msn. PTL for his faithfulness and goodness and his joy really come in the morning.
Blessings and grace to you all!

just weary and tiredness.

story
one clear and cold night on the streets of the Downtown eastside in an alley. There was a girl who was only 22 and her life consisted of putting needles in her arms or just whereever she could put them. She was in pain and angry at herself how her life has turned out. No one knows this girl existed. People walks by her and yelled and call her dirty names and things that weren't true. she has been hearding this things for a long time now so she has become numb to more. she want to escape this prison that she has made for herself of doing drugs, selling herself over and over again because this is the only way she can get the drugs off her drug dealer. Her desire is to be free, to have a meaning to life and to have hopes but how she ask herself. She has dreams and hopes for her future. will someone care and help these dreams to come to a reality or allow these dreams to fade away. The choice is yours.

playgrounds
So Adam,ted,chris,spike,ashley and myself went to the playground at the water fountians park last night and i known that there was something else beside rocks and wood chips to surround the park. it was like squashing material surrounding it. I believe it is an injustice for kids that they have to play in a playground where this is jaggy rocks and wood chips where they can get them stuck in their hands. Why can't the goverment put some sand or that same material that surround this park in chinatown. Your thoughts?

Jesus i want to fall in love with you
in open fields of wild flowers
she breathes the air and flies away
she thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
in no simple language
someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
he's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
as close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
someday she'll trust him and learn how to see him
someday he'll call her and she will come running
and fall in his arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray
i want to fall in love with you
sitting silent wearing sunday best
the sermon echoes through the walls
a great salvation through it calls to the people
who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls
he's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
as close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
someday we'll trust him and learn how to see him
someday he'll call us and we will come running
and fall in his arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray
i want to fall in love with you
it seems too easy to call you "Savior"
not close enough to call you "God"
so as i sit and think of words i can mention
to show my devotion
i want to fall in love with you
my heart beats for you
I don't want to just to said i love jesus, i want to fall in love with him more and more every day and that our intimacy grew deeper and deeper more and more.

highlights on what the lord has done in me so far this year
believing that i am beautiful. taking all my baggy clothes and my hats and taking it to the women centre and wearing more girly stuff but still have a part of my personality into my fashion
more freedom from lies of my past.
continuing to raising up to the calling of prayer warrior and seeing my prayer being answer.
continually to raising up in the gifts that the lord has giving me
meeting jesus in new places and hearing his voice more clearly
beginning to let go instead of keeping it all inside.
there is probably a lot more but i can't think of any more.
More love for people
Jesus is good and faithful, that is all you need to know for right now.
more freedom from lies of my past.

wind analogy
you can't see the wind but you can feel the wind
you can't see the god but you can feel him surrounding you.

Jesus will calm the storm in our lifes
luke 8:22-26
One day Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's go over to the other side of the lake." So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!"
He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him."
he can & he will calm the strong winds and the raging waters that comes in our lifes sometime if we just ask him to and give us the peace and rest that only comes from him.

tonight
I have never had a baby sleep on me until tonight. I was at cherie's house taking care of domanic and noel mainly and domanic fall alsleep on me for like a hour, it was really cool.
I have a picture that what Jesus wants to do with his children, to take them in his arms and surround us with his loving arm and allow us to rest and i realized that i really stay a lot of time over at the white last year and it was great but it seem i have not gone over there a lot this year and i realized how much i miss hanging out there.
Good times :D

it is only 6 weeks until i leave. woohoo! It would be sweet if i could find some place of employment to hire me for that long or allow me to leave so i can go and come back to it when i returned so i can have some spending money while i am away. If not it is ok as well because it will be a crazy adventure anyway if i didn't have any money.
i got my pay check from army and navy finally it is not a sum of money for only 4 days of work.
sean sauve has left to go back to toronto to spend some time with his family. I miss him already.

If not it is ok as well because it will be a crazy adventure anyway if i didn't have any money.
i got my pay check from army and navy finally it is not a sum of money for only 4 days of work.
sean sauve has left to go back to toronto to spend some time with his family. I miss him already.
nicole and bereach are leaving soon :( i am going to miss them a lot!

nothing
If You could meet someone that is die or live, who would it be and why?
MY ANSWER: General William Booth because he is a freakin genius and i would love to soak up some of the awesome wisdom of his.
Should We preach Hell more often?
My answer: Hell and heaven should be preach together. i definality think that the fear of the lord need to preach more often in the church at this time.
Verse of the day:For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. ”- 1 Peter 1:18-19
Hallejuah there is power in the blood of the lamb! could you do a 2 min preach on this verse?
I am off to europe really soon~ So excited
People are sooner leaving for their summer assignments which is exciting yet really sad :(

Inside Outside-Delirious
Inside outside, under my skin
Never ending love I don’t know where it begins?
I don’t know where it ends, I don’t know how high
I don’t know how deep, I don’t know how wide
Outside inside around the world
Never ending love envelops me like a cloud
I feel you in front, I feel you behind
I feel you up above, And I feel you at the side
And you, you’re all over me, you’re all over me
Your banner is over me, I give it all ‘cos
You still captivate me, fascinate me
You still captivate me, saturate me
Inside outside, pulling me in
No matter where I run I know you’ll never give in
I see you in the storm, I see you in a kiss
I’ve been around the world and never found a love like this
You’re all over me, you’re all over me
You’re everything I want to be
I’m all over you, you’re everything I want to see
You’re all over me
You, still captivate me, fascinate me
You still captivate me, saturate me
You still captivate me, liberate me
You still captivate me
Hallejuah A life with Jesus is adventure and it never bored!

Some qoutes from our forefather and foremothers of the salvation army
Holiness is nothing more than a pure heart filled with perfect love Samuel Brengle
Sanctification includes the purifying of the heart and enpowering of the soul through the annointing of the holy spirit. Samuel Logan brengle
"Holiness is a state which there is no anger, malice, blasphemy,hypocrisy, envy, love of ease, selfish desire for good opinion of men, shame of the cross , worldliness, deceit, debate, contention, covertousness, nor any evil desire or tendency in the heart" Samuel Logan Brengle
Have you the assurance that the ruling passion of your life is the sam as that which brought christ to the manger, led him to the foul fiend hell in the wilderness. bore him onward on the back of fear amd suffering, and groaning and shame, drinking the Cup of Angiush and the Baptism of Blood, bore him in triumph to open the gate of the Kingdom? Is this what you are living for? William Booth
The spirit of love make every unconverted sinner within your reach so miserable that they will have to be converted or run away. Catherine Booth

Fullness
Just arrived back to vancouver from a blessed weekend in campbell river at the painter lodge. It was a weekend of refreshing of Jesus's presence. Blessing & Revealations:
I got a double bed to my self, the most comfortable bed i stay for a long time. Got to room with three loving lady, ashley, melissa and jenea.
Stop believing that i don't deserve the best. Believing that Every good and perfect gift come from above. Receive Freedom from that. Praise the lord.
Got to pray and looking at creation at the same time, it was super cool to have a war room looking out to the mountains. Sweet revelation of that Jesus is the coolest friend to have, that he want to be friends with me and his kids. that he want to give me strength and power to cast out demon and heal the sick. He want to bring freedom and fullness to my life. How many time does christian read the bible but how many does believe in every word. It is the truth because Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and god doesn't lie. The bible is the truth about us. Amen, Hallejuah. I was fasting all weekend but when i was praying for andrea and jacynta healing that was the first time all weekend that i was full. It was really cool. Thanks for all the prayers, it is lifted up my spirit.

Footprints in the sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish,
sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you."
I spent the morning at english bay in a time of soltuide, it was good! i need to have one morning a week just me and Jesus.i heard to take off my shoes and walk through the sand without any shoes, at first i wasn't sure cause it was cold out side and the sand was wet but i did anyway and it was really cool. i ask jesus what it meant and all he said read this poem and it will all make senses so i did and it does. Thanks you Jesus. Throw a bunch of rocks in the sea of unforgetness that was hindering me to embrace the things god has for me. I am in a better place now, PTL. Thanks you all for the prayers and encouragement. Love ya.

I Never cry so much in the war room last night for a long time. It was a good cry yet i am still feeling pain and hurt this morning. Why Jesus haven't you took this pain away? I don't need it, I don't want it! I only need you! I only want you! I am not looking for pity. I am looking for answers. Jesus You are my deliver, Deliver me please! You don't defile my character. YOu know me more than i know about myself and You love me where i am, where you are taking me. Help me to fix my eyes on you more and more. Stir up a passion for your name more and more each day. Why doesn't the enemy twisted the truth and pin one of other against other. I hate It! Anyway that a peice of my heart for you all.
Blessing and grace

what i read in the newspaper this morning
Vancouver should explore a harm-reduction plan that could see red wine given to hard-core street alcoholics, says the city's drug policy coordinator.
Such a program would target homeless alcoholics who may now be drinking extremely harmful substances such as after-shave or Lysol to feed their addictions.
"It's stabilizing the drug use," drug policy coordinator Donald MacPherson said. The benefits of the program would be a reduction in emergency room attendance and less contact with police.
But he adds, "How big the need is in Vancouver still needs to be determined."
Anne Livingstone of the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users says an alcohol-replacement program is logical.
"It brings dignity to people who aren't going to stop drinking," Livingstone said.
The program would be similar, in theory, to heroin-assisted treatment programs, such as the controversial NAOMI heroin program that's now taking place on a small scale in Vancouver. MacPherson also says that program should be expanded.
He has been integral to the city's implementation of the Four Pillars drug policy, which has received much attention for harm-reduction measures such as the supervised heroin-injection site.
Now he's asking council to permanently approve funding for the city's drug policy program.
MacPherson acknowledges there have been critics, who say not enough attention has been paid to the components other than harm reduction.
"I'd have to agree if they're talking about prevention," MacPherson said. "It's probably not had the same amount of focus that enforcement and harm reduction have had."
Seriously why? first the free needles, then the free hereion and now alcohol, come on use your heads people. this things make me so angry. what can i do? write letters to the government and pray i guess. What is your opinion about this?

It is my 186 post Today!
Thoughts that are going on my head right now: my faith is fake and not real. I am only going through the emotions.
will i ever have a steady job beside working as a dishwasher in a resturant?
I think i may have the Job annointing on my life, Everything is extreme hard for me to do but i push through to get through it.
I said i love jesus but am i really obey his commands?
Do i have an learning disability or has that be a curse over all my life.
Anyway there was a quite a lot of breakthough at Raw this past 4 days. Good times, Good Times.

Wow the biggest blessing of this conference, this kids and their passion for mission, teens coming out on their spring break, to come to worship the living god and to serve among the poor and the needy. Hallejuah! Lord please restore the same passion that this kids bring to the streets if though they are here for a short awhile yet they have more compassionate and passion on those that live among the poor and do this daily. More passion more love more of you Lord
The song that has been in my head since the beginning of this conference is Consuming fire by Tim Hughes:
There must be more than this
oh breath of God come breath within
There must be more than this
Spirit of God we wait for you
Fill us anew we pray
Fill us anew we pray
Chorus:
Consuming Fire
Fan into flame
a passion for your name
Spirit of God
fall in this place
Lord have your way
Lord have your way
with us
Verse 2:
Come like a rushing wind
Fill us with power from on high
Now set the captives free
leave us abandoned to your praise
Lord let your glory fall
Lord let your glory fall

mattrew 18:21-23
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"
Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[f]
"Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
wow, what a great verse yet a hard verse. Why is no grace between me and an another brother. Why is there all this drama? I repent for something that i did and turn away and told this person about my realization how i hurt this person and i apolized for it, yet no forgiveness. Why is it so hard to forgive among the church? f you got some answers,feel free to left comments?

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, ”- 1 Peter 3:15
Good verse,
I use to be involved in scout canada and the motto in scott canada is to be prepared. Well in this verse we need to be prepared to be ready to share the good news with anyone. So be ready. Love never Fails.
Jesus i pray that you would be the first in my life and everyone else's life. May we all be prepared to share about your goodness in this dark dark world. May we speak in love and respect for others. may our words reflect the beauty of you and line up with action.
Be Blessed.
posse out,
RB
Good verse,
I use to be involved in scout canada and the motto in scott canada is to be prepared. Well in this verse we need to be prepared to be ready to share the good news with anyone. So be ready. Love never Fails.
Jesus i pray that you would be the first in my life and everyone else's life. May we all be prepared to share about your goodness in this dark dark world. May we speak in love and respect for others. may our words reflect the beauty of you and line up with action.
Be Blessed.
posse out,

my revelation
a few week ago, i had a revealation, How many people down town vancouver died over drug overdoses or committing sucide and that no cares that they are died or live. That no even no one know their name. Are we supposed to be like Jesus? I know that Jesus cares for them and know their name that should be mean that we should know their names too. picture someone coming into our recre8 coffee bar, they are thinking about committing suicide that night because no care that they existed and one person go over and talk to that person could change their opinion to take their life, to breath of life of Jesus into their life, to bring hope. let be like Jesus because you may be the only jesus that person will ever know.
Hope this make sense and leave comments please

listening prayers
i was doing some listening prayer this morning, i usually ask jesus where he is but this time was a bit different, i ask him where he want to go, he said i want to go scuba diving with you. Sweet. So we got some scuba diving gear and a boat and went out to the deep waters of the sea. Jesus was leading me, i had no where we were going, i just trust him and follow him. We got to this perfect spot, put the anchor down and around us was trees and there was an island in the distance. Jesus said, You and I will going in together, he took my hand and we dive off the boat, under the sea was beautiful, fishes swimming by us, killer whales around us and the plants under us, we look down and in the distance we saw a old ship, we look at each other and gave the notch to check it out. we went down to where the ship was located and we just look around, we found a treasure chest, it was locked, we grab a rock and broke the lock, all the treasure you ever thought was in there. we lefted it and went back to the surfuce and got back on the boat, took off all our scuba gear and change into normal clothes. we sat on the desk of the boat and he ask me this question: what lesson did you learn from this experinece? I thought about it and reply with my answer, it is fun to go deeper with you, there is treasure that you plant in our days, we just need to look for it and we will find it. jesus just smiled and gave me a huge bear hug and we just sat in the stillness and watched the sunset.

what age do you act?
***You Are 18 Years Old***
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

war room last night
last night in the war room i had a hard word from the lord, it was out of ezekial 36:25-26 which says:I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Lately my heart has become hardened for the things i see down here. i walk by people twigging out on the streets or putting needle in their arms and i feel nothing. I have become judgemental,bitter and angry. Jesus please break my heart. Remove my heart of stone and make it a heart of flesh please. Thanks you for your grace and love. pray for me thanks :D

Cell Tuesday night
In Cell on Tuesday, we did a cell talk on 1 john 4 about loving each other, we were asked to state an example of when we show unconditional love to someone and I remember that the time when I was doing street combat last year and I was walking by with my partner and Adam pointed out a girl that was crying and after he pointing her out, I went and just sat down and let her cry on my shoulder and also cried with her, I pray with her and gave her a hug. I left with a state of that was cool but what did I do different in the girl life but Adam told me after that night Nicole told her boyfriend to screw himself because he was making her selling her body on the corner and she hasn't done it since. It was a huge encouragement and that love really make a different. PTL

story
Sapphire was walking through this setting, this setting was not new to her, it reminded her of this friend of her, He walked the same path 2000 year ago. Step by step Sapphire could feel and heard the voices on the edges of the path that was mocking and cursing this man. This man was filled with compassionate, love and mercy. As Sapphire walk along this path the same feelings came over her. She walk up this huge hill, there stood three crosses standing tall and there she had a flashback of what happened to this man 200o year ago and now she is walking the same path as he did. He was beaten, tornoted,nail to the cross. Tear streamed down her face and bow in amazement of this man sacrifice, he died for me. He died to be my freedom, He died to be my daddy, he died for joy, he died for my future, he died for my hope, He died for my family, he died for the redempation of all mankind. As Sapphire bowed in amazement of this man's love and grace, she thinks to herself, i am not worthy of all this love, i have done not good thing, that man walked behind her and bow right next to her and whisper in her ear, i have made you worthy of this grace and love through the power of my name, you are my daughter and you are accepted and adopted into my huge family. Who is this man? His name is Jesus Christ.

my struggle right now
i have put like 60 resumes or more out in the last 3 weeks and i haven't received any callback or any emails regarding any interested, it is so hard to keep positive and words from my mom doesn't help either, saying you are not self-sufficent, i am feel sorry for you because you have a hard finding a job, i am unemployable. I am frustrated and i know that the enemy wants me to be frustrated and i don't want to be frustrated, i want my eyes on jesus, My provider. All i want is a job so i can do things like pay rent and sponsoring a child and fun things like movies and going out and eating with friends and stopping living off my parents, i hate it and i don't want to do it anymore, why haven't i got a job, is it me, is my attuide not good, do i give off a negative attuide. Why will noone hired me? I have good quailitys and skills. I don't understand it all but it is not my control, it is the hands of the kings of kings and lords of lords. I am believe in his faithfulness and his provision and i know it is coming, fruit of my labour is coming. i can feel it and just mean i need to pray more.

Verse of the day
[Love one another ] This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. ”- 1 John 3:11
Love unconditionally not just surfaced level love, love like 1 corinathian 13 type of love. It is a command to love one another not just a good idea so as the nike slogan said just do it.
Stay tuned, My sermon on colossian 3:1-4 is coming soon :D

This morning
So this morning during my quiet time with Jesus, I was reading my bible and praying for people but I couldn't concrente on praying so I ask Jesus why? Because you and me have to deal with something, a negative memory of your childhood, I was like that make sense why I couldn't concentrate on praying. I ask what the memory was, it was the memory of my elemaranty school days when I always walk alone at recress and lunch and alway seeing people having fun with their friends and me playing on the tire swing by myself. i was like we starting to deal with my issue of rejection, jesus was yep we sure are. i ask where we going to do this, are we going to our meeting place. No was the response of jesus, we are going where it is all tooked place,the school ground of my elemany school. so i ask jesus how we were going to do this, he was like you are going to go through the memory but this time asking where i was in this situation and of course i was ok. so it starting me walking around the school yard,ask where jesus was and of course he was right beside me linking with my arm as we are skipping around the school yard. Jesus was a young child. so i went to the swings, i sat on the swings and i ask jesus where he was, he was the one that was pushing me on the swings. he pushed me in the back of me. he gave me a underduck and just walking in front of me and push on my feet as i swang back and forth, i got off the swing and went to the tire swing,ask where he was and he was the one that was pushing me and then he jump on the tire swing with me and we both could feel the wind in our hair and the sunshine bleaming down our faces. Then we went to the playground, we played tag and he was trying to chase me, i was too fast for him, he came back behind me and gave me this huge bear hug and i turned around to embace him, me and him just stood there for a while just embacing each other and just continually to play tag with smiles on our faces and this childlike joy came over both of us. It was sweet. the last thing he said was if you are feeling rejected by man, you are alway accepted by me and i am your friend and i want to spend time with you so come and chill out with me. i was like ok.

prayer for the saints
Jesus i thanks you for all the good gifts you pour over all your saints across this globe. I thanks you for your angels that concern us and you send them out to protect, guide us on the path that you have set us on. Lord i pray for that you would shower down your blessings of finacial resources over the 614 community as well as other churchs around this globe. Teach us to fight against the enemy schemes, help us to fix our eyes on you more and not focusing on what the enemy is doing in the midst of us. I pray for that we would spurring each other on this fight, that we encourage each other each day, raise more encouragers in the church, Arise our faith where there is unbelief and doubt. Teach us how to love you more and the lost. i pray that you release a cry in our heart for the lost and a refreshing passion to see them turn their eyes upon the kings of kings and lord of lords instead of the worldly things. Help us to be real with each other as one body. Help us to believe that we have gifts that you have given to us and that we would use them for the glory of your name and to edify your body. Open our eyes on what you are doing holy spirit and let us have ear to hear what the spirit is doing in the midst of us. You are good and your love edures forever and may your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Praise his holy name. I pray for instantly healing. Raise up more healers in the church please Father. You are amazing and we give you all the glory and honour and praise for you are alone is worthy of our praise. Hallejuah

GOD OF JUSTICE (WE MUST GO)
God of Justice, Saviour to all
Came to rescue the weak and the poor
Chose to serve and not be served
Jesus, You have called us
Freely we’ve received
Now freely we will give
We must go live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken
We must go
Stepping forward keep us from just singing
Move us into action
We must go
To act justly everyday
Loving mercy in everyway
Walking humbly before You God
You have shown us, what You require
Freely we’ve received
Now freely we will give
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out
Fill us up and send us out Lord
Since we sang this song at knee drill last thursday, can't seem to get out of my head

Materialism
When is enough exactly enough? As humans on this earth, we want more CD's,DVD's, the latest technology, the newest ipod or the latest car. How can't we be grateful what we have and be content on what we do have and not what we want or don't have. Look at other countries in the world, they have so little yet they are so grateful for the little things like shoes,running water,education and just a place to rest their head at night. Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 2 cor9:6. Live a life of simplicity and share the wealth.

knee drill on thursday
Thursday night, i had a picture when we were singing mision fuel by tim hughes, fill us up and send us out is the bridge, i saw all of us marching out to the streets but we were linked by our arms and it look like a joel's army. i looked up joel 2 and i felt i was supposed to shared it but never did but there is grace and i know for next time to share what i am hearing because there is blessing in obedience.
Joel 2:3-11:Before them fire devours,
behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the garden of Eden,
behind them, a desert waste—
nothing escapes them.
4 They have the appearance of horses;
they gallop along like cavalry.
5 With a noise like that of chariots
they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire consuming stubble,
like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
6 At the sight of them, nations are in anguish;
every face turns pale.
7 They charge like warriors;
they scale walls like soldiers.
They all march in line,
not swerving from their course.
8 They do not jostle each other;
each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
without breaking ranks.
9 They rush upon the city;
they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;
like thieves they enter through the windows.
10 Before them the earth shakes,
the sky trembles,
the sun and moon are darkened,
and the stars no longer shine.
11 The LORD thunders
at the head of his army;
his forces are beyond number,
and mighty are those who obey his command.
The day of the LORD is great;
it is dreadful.
Who can endure it?
Jesus make this body more like the joel's army please and all of the around the planet as well. amen

i tend to be hard on myself and thing about the negative things about my life instead of the postive things. i am choosing to walk in the opposite spirit right now and list the postive things in my life.
My parents giving me the opportunity to come to vancouver and paying for me to go to the war college
Have parents that love me and care what happened to me.
I have friends that love me for me.
Awesome memories with the martyr session
Getting the opporunity to go to europe and see Esther in May for 5 weeks
Be surrounded by a community.
Awesome memories with Heather, Rob and the gillinghams
Jesus loves me
His promises can't be shaken
His word is true and alone he is worthy for my worship
Kids
starting to build deep friendships with the holy session
Jesus is the hope and the real joy gifter
Using my gifts really make me happy and it bring glory to the king of kings
I need prayer right now. I am feeling a bit depressed, confused,angry at myself and other people,feeling like i have wasted the last 3 months as phase 2, like a paper weight in this community , not seeing a lot of growth in me, not seeing myself as a leader and just wanting to leave but knowing that would just be running away and that is not like me and that not what jesus want me to do, strugging with focus,unbelief and just my relationship with jesus in general right now encouragement would be lovely as well. Thanks

Getting the opporunity to go to europe and see Esther in May for 5 weeks
Be surrounded by a community.
Awesome memories with Heather, Rob and the gillinghams
Jesus loves me
His promises can't be shaken
His word is true and alone he is worthy for my worship
Kids
starting to build deep friendships with the holy session
Jesus is the hope and the real joy gifter
Using my gifts really make me happy and it bring glory to the king of kings
I need prayer right now. I am feeling a bit depressed, confused,angry at myself and other people,feeling like i have wasted the last 3 months as phase 2, like a paper weight in this community , not seeing a lot of growth in me, not seeing myself as a leader and just wanting to leave but knowing that would just be running away and that is not like me and that not what jesus want me to do, strugging with focus,unbelief and just my relationship with jesus in general right now encouragement would be lovely as well. Thanks

Verse Of The Day
“ Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. ”- Philippians 2:14-16
Jesus make me more like you, help me to do everything without complaining and arguing, that i would do it for you and only you so i can shine my light like a star in this dark dark world.

luke 15:11-31
The Parable of the Lost Son
11Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.
13"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' 20So he got up and went to his father.
"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.[b]'
22"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.
25"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'
28"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'
31" 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' "
I love this parole, everytime i read this, i get this picture of jesus standing in the middle of interaction of main and hasting just with his arms wide open and waiting there to bring the love and accepted that the people on the street desires the most. it is so awesome

Justice
But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream! Amo 5:24
So god has been stirring up my heart about justice against the childrens of the third world countries. I remember i was in the war room and i was reading Be a hero and i was reading the 7 deadly sin and i just burst into tears and god gave me two things for action which to be a mother to the nations and to sponsor a child which i haven't done yet but i made a deadline for myself by the end of janurary i will. It is so cool.

a pure heart
everyone knows you harvest what you sow, you reap what you plant, what we know when we develop land, we tend to forgot when we cultivate our hearts.
think a moment of your heart as a greenhouse, the similaries come quickly to mind,It too a magnificent gift from your father,It too perfectly suited for growth and your heart, like a greenhouse has to be managed. Consider for a moment that your thoughts are like seeds. Some thoughts become flowers, others become like weeds. Sow seeds of hope and enjoy optimism or sow seeds of doubt and expect insecurity.
Scripture verse: Gal 6:8: The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life

focus the unseen and not the things that you can see
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Jesus has been speaking to me about focus and fixing my eyes on him lately and he reshow me this verse because i remember last year this verse help me a lot to keep my focus on him.

A honest heart
God always speaks the truth, when he made a covenent, he keep it, when he made a statement, he meant it, and when he proclaim the truth, we can believe it what he say is true
why does god demand a such a honesty but rather why do we tolerate dishonesty?
1)we don't like the truth
2) we don't trust the truth
The cure for deceit: tell the truth,the the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Are we completely honest with all our relationships? are we being completely honesty in our crops? ask these question to yourself: Am i am trustworthy person, a reliable witness at the place where god put you for a reason.
The ripple of today's lies is tommorrow's waves and next year flood,start today,Be just like Jesus and tell the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Just like Jesus book continued :D
Jesus had a focused heart and he wants us to have the same heart, How is focus is your life? Ask yourself these four questions to see if your life is on track with god's plan:
Am I fitting into god's plan?
What are my longing?
What are my abilities?
Am i serving God now?
God allow us to have a fresh start at any point of our lifes. In 1 peter 4:2 it said:
As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. It never too late to get your life on track and be a part of god's wonderful plan he has for you :D

Phil&I crazy adventure in Gibsons
This adventure started at 9:30 when me and Phil met in the front of the Shalon hotel. We walk up to Granville and wait for a couple of minutes for the bus that will take us to the destination of the ferry terminal to get to Gibsons. We got to the ferry terminal, got our tickets and waited in the waiting room for a few mins and got on the ferry, read the newspapers and just wait until the ferry got to the Langale terminal. Got a voicemail from my mom and she said she is on her way but will be a few mins. She got there finally and we went up to sechelt for a political luncheon but it was more a snack than a lunch. There was a beach outside the restaurant and it reminded phil's as home and the luncheon was boring so we check out the beach, it was nice. We went to my favorite restaurant, cafe amigo for some Mexican food which was good, then we met up with my mom and we went to the Lind house to check it out and gave Gwen an angel and she put in the perfect spot and just chill out there for a bit, relaxing and checking out the Christmas decorations, it was so gorgeous, how I love that place :) went back to gibsons and got my dog and we went to my elementary school and I showed him which classrooms I went to, it was fun. We got back to my house and we were on time because my mom need to pick up some people for the dinner so she was going to take us early to save a place which we were fine with, my mom received a phone call from our aunt and it was one of the phone call that you had to take so we got drop off at the place where the shuttle bus was supposed to pick people up but we got there late so the bus was gone already but my parents had to go and pick up people so they told us to get out and wait for the bus that wasn't coming for 45 mins until my dad and my sister came and got us. Finally got to the dinner was good of course, it always is, sang some Christmas carols and got presents which is always fun. We dropped off Phil at my mom friend's place and I felt horribly to do that to him but it was out of my control so meh. Went home and went to bed, got up this morning, went and pick Phil up to take him out to breakfast with my mom which was great, took him to the sunshine coast community church to allow him to see it and took him to the ferry and waited with him until he got on the ferry. It was crazy but fun but it was definality not the way I vision it but meh what can you do?

classial christmas story of the Barnum household
A classic Christmas in the Barnum’s house
I count down to the days until Sam and Dan come home. It seems like only yesterday I was counting down the years until they were out of the house and my torment would end. Maybe it was only yesterday… Time is a curious thing . They arrive and the family leaves to pick out a tree. Sure it’s last minute, it being the eve of Christmas but a little on the late side is just how our family does things. Beside it just wouldn’t feel right if we didn’t all do together. Of course, by this time all the good trees are gone. We bicker about how we should of gone looking earlier but well, the bickering is all part of Christmas too. We argue about which tree of the few left is the least ugly and should have the honor of coming home with us. If mom get her way, and we know mom always get her way, we’ll end up taking home the ugliest tree in the lot. We pay for it, put it on the roof and are on our way. The males lug our little tree up the stairs and we begin to set it up. Well that is what we would do if we could find a tree stand. Where did we put that tree stand? After much rifling about we find it, but of course the bolts that hold the tree in place is missing. You would think after all the years we would get some new ones but we never do seem to learn. Everyone tries to recall how we had overcome this problem last year . Pennies maybe, did pennies work? Or was it bottle caps? I think bottle cap was it. Dan take one for the team and guzzles some beers so we can use the caps. It works. I hold the tree while the try to get it perfectly straight. I hardly see the point. It ‘s not as if the cat isn’t going to knock it over anyways. When impatience and frustration finally take over and the stupid tree is as straight as it’s going to get we start to decorate. First I fill it with water. Nobody else seem to care about the welfare of our poor Christmas tree. Sam, that brave brave boy , is in charge of the lights . It never seems to matter how neatly we put them away the previous year they still seem to find a way to tangle themselves again. He work diligently until they are untangled then begins the daunting task of making them work. He, like Dan, is our hero for making this sacrifice. Although our hero is heard screaming some less than saintly term at the top of his lungs at the lights, who don’t seem to take his treats very seriously because it’s another hour before they decide to light up. He has been to electrocute himself once or twice in his attempts before he manages to get them all working. Although, truth be told, I think he kind of enjoys that. So with the lights finally up we start to throw the ornaments on the tree. Yes, throw not put. Placing them doesn’t seem as much fun. Is it just me or do we seem to have fewer ornaments than last year? We have to actually put some heavy ones on the branches above the gaps to make an attempt at camouflaging them. It doesn’t really work. Its not all disorderly. We have our themes. Last year was gold, the year before that was umm well gold too. I can’t remember what the year before that was but I’m guess it was something truly spectacular and original. Mom has not been in the room all this time. I think the chaos is a little too much for her. She always returns at the end though to tell us what a beautiful job we’ve done (such a convincing liar my mother is). She also has the oh so important job of hanging the angel on top. We all stand around to marvel at the wondrous thing that is our tree, even though the skinny thing looks like it might fall over from the weight of all the heavy ornaments. It’s our tree though so we stand in awe of its beauty for a moment. Not long though. Its only a second before we can’t stand to hear the musical Christmas tree lights play its irritating tunes any longer and we all wander off to do our own thing.
Nothing eventful happens until the next evening when mom and dad take it upon themselves to drag us to church. They use every line in the book to guilt us into submission. Eventually we concede begrudgingly. We arrive and they give us all candles to light later. We’re a step ahead of them though because Dan has a lighter. We, being such rebels, light ours up and agree to blow them out on the count of three. 1... We look around to realize all our candles are already out. We try again. 2...3... They are all out again. We laugh at our inability, give up, and sit down. The time comes to light the candles. Rebekah tips the lighted one getting wax on the floor (shhh). We all stand and sing Christmas carols. Sam shouts out the lyrics to the songs as loudly and inaccurately as possible; noAL noAL. I nearly die of embarrassment. I’ll have to remember next time to make sure I don’t sit by him. After what seems like hours it’s over and we return home. I get home and relax. This doesn’t last long before I hear yelling and rush to the kitchen to find out the cause. I see Rebekah lying on the floor pounding her fists on the ground and hear her screaming “I want a drum! That’s all I wanted and you couldn’t even get it for me!” I see Sam and Dan laughing. I think they are insensitive until I realize that mom did in fact get Rebekah drums and join in the laughter. After a good half hour of Rebekah’s screaming we agree to let her open one present; the drums. She opens them and is ecstatic… until she remembers her screaming and becomes a little on the embarrassed side, silly Rebekah. After these antic the males (and Bek too) turn on yulin with the page. I try to enjoy it but well sports aren’t my cup of tea so I wander off to bed and eagerly await the presents to be unwrapped the next day. As I pass the kitchen I have to avert my eyes. Mother is frantically wrapping the presents. Well the ones that she actually remembered where she had hidden them. The rest will be left until next June when she finds them then puts them back in the cupboard in hopes that she will find them again next Christmas. When will that lady learn?
The next morning we awake to open our presents. Everyone is pleased with what they get. Well ok is less than pleased with the leather jacket but who can blame the guy? Sam and Dan got us silly string. Oh the havoc that ensues. Sam with his cleverness saves the last bit till no one had any left and ambushes us all. He’s a crafty one that Sam. We spend the rest of the day just relaxing and enjoying a Christmas video or special; The grinch that stole Christmas “BUT WHAT WILL I WEAR?!?” or maybe a Christmas story. “Ra ra ra ra ra’ If I have my way we play a game of monopoly but well I never get my way. Its probably best though since we’ve yet to play a game that didn’t end in a screaming match. I can say, without any bias, that its ALWAYS all Sam’s fault because h is a big cheater head! Finally the time comes when mom has completed dinner. Usually about 8 o’clock but hey like I said a little on the late side is just how we do things. Mom’s annual temper tantrum is all part of the holidays too. I would have thought she would calm down eventually, after all things always work out in the end and food is always good. Dad says a prayer and by the time he is finished we are all starving. We all dig into the spread of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing (you can’t have Christmas without a whole lot of stuffing). We all prefer the brown meat (except one outcast who will remain nameless) so you got to be fast if you want some. If your not you can always steal Dan’s. He’s easily duped. Another classical the table is the egg nog. Each member must receive their fair share or a riot WILL break out. There are even disputes even when it is measured to the ml. In the end someone always ends up with more. We all know who that someone is. Don’t we?? Its all worth it though. Eggnog just wouldn’t taste as good if you didn’t have to fight for it.
When everything is over we all go off to bed and are glad that we had this time together. Who knows what our lives hold for us and how many more Christmas’s we will have together. Heck Dan will probably be off on some crazy adventure in who knows where by the next one. But when we are old and gray (in mom and dad’s case older and grayer ahahaha) we can always look back at those classic Barnum Christmas’s and laugh. I hope you guys liked my little story and had yet another very Merry Christmas!!! I love you all!!
Just recently i found out one of my brother wouldn't be coming home for christmas which make me a bit sad but christmas would still be good.
I count down to the days until Sam and Dan come home. It seems like only yesterday I was counting down the years until they were out of the house and my torment would end. Maybe it was only yesterday… Time is a curious thing . They arrive and the family leaves to pick out a tree. Sure it’s last minute, it being the eve of Christmas but a little on the late side is just how our family does things. Beside it just wouldn’t feel right if we didn’t all do together. Of course, by this time all the good trees are gone. We bicker about how we should of gone looking earlier but well, the bickering is all part of Christmas too. We argue about which tree of the few left is the least ugly and should have the honor of coming home with us. If mom get her way, and we know mom always get her way, we’ll end up taking home the ugliest tree in the lot. We pay for it, put it on the roof and are on our way. The males lug our little tree up the stairs and we begin to set it up. Well that is what we would do if we could find a tree stand. Where did we put that tree stand? After much rifling about we find it, but of course the bolts that hold the tree in place is missing. You would think after all the years we would get some new ones but we never do seem to learn. Everyone tries to recall how we had overcome this problem last year . Pennies maybe, did pennies work? Or was it bottle caps? I think bottle cap was it. Dan take one for the team and guzzles some beers so we can use the caps. It works. I hold the tree while the try to get it perfectly straight. I hardly see the point. It ‘s not as if the cat isn’t going to knock it over anyways. When impatience and frustration finally take over and the stupid tree is as straight as it’s going to get we start to decorate. First I fill it with water. Nobody else seem to care about the welfare of our poor Christmas tree. Sam, that brave brave boy , is in charge of the lights . It never seems to matter how neatly we put them away the previous year they still seem to find a way to tangle themselves again. He work diligently until they are untangled then begins the daunting task of making them work. He, like Dan, is our hero for making this sacrifice. Although our hero is heard screaming some less than saintly term at the top of his lungs at the lights, who don’t seem to take his treats very seriously because it’s another hour before they decide to light up. He has been to electrocute himself once or twice in his attempts before he manages to get them all working. Although, truth be told, I think he kind of enjoys that. So with the lights finally up we start to throw the ornaments on the tree. Yes, throw not put. Placing them doesn’t seem as much fun. Is it just me or do we seem to have fewer ornaments than last year? We have to actually put some heavy ones on the branches above the gaps to make an attempt at camouflaging them. It doesn’t really work. Its not all disorderly. We have our themes. Last year was gold, the year before that was umm well gold too. I can’t remember what the year before that was but I’m guess it was something truly spectacular and original. Mom has not been in the room all this time. I think the chaos is a little too much for her. She always returns at the end though to tell us what a beautiful job we’ve done (such a convincing liar my mother is). She also has the oh so important job of hanging the angel on top. We all stand around to marvel at the wondrous thing that is our tree, even though the skinny thing looks like it might fall over from the weight of all the heavy ornaments. It’s our tree though so we stand in awe of its beauty for a moment. Not long though. Its only a second before we can’t stand to hear the musical Christmas tree lights play its irritating tunes any longer and we all wander off to do our own thing.
Nothing eventful happens until the next evening when mom and dad take it upon themselves to drag us to church. They use every line in the book to guilt us into submission. Eventually we concede begrudgingly. We arrive and they give us all candles to light later. We’re a step ahead of them though because Dan has a lighter. We, being such rebels, light ours up and agree to blow them out on the count of three. 1... We look around to realize all our candles are already out. We try again. 2...3... They are all out again. We laugh at our inability, give up, and sit down. The time comes to light the candles. Rebekah tips the lighted one getting wax on the floor (shhh). We all stand and sing Christmas carols. Sam shouts out the lyrics to the songs as loudly and inaccurately as possible; noAL noAL. I nearly die of embarrassment. I’ll have to remember next time to make sure I don’t sit by him. After what seems like hours it’s over and we return home. I get home and relax. This doesn’t last long before I hear yelling and rush to the kitchen to find out the cause. I see Rebekah lying on the floor pounding her fists on the ground and hear her screaming “I want a drum! That’s all I wanted and you couldn’t even get it for me!” I see Sam and Dan laughing. I think they are insensitive until I realize that mom did in fact get Rebekah drums and join in the laughter. After a good half hour of Rebekah’s screaming we agree to let her open one present; the drums. She opens them and is ecstatic… until she remembers her screaming and becomes a little on the embarrassed side, silly Rebekah. After these antic the males (and Bek too) turn on yulin with the page. I try to enjoy it but well sports aren’t my cup of tea so I wander off to bed and eagerly await the presents to be unwrapped the next day. As I pass the kitchen I have to avert my eyes. Mother is frantically wrapping the presents. Well the ones that she actually remembered where she had hidden them. The rest will be left until next June when she finds them then puts them back in the cupboard in hopes that she will find them again next Christmas. When will that lady learn?
The next morning we awake to open our presents. Everyone is pleased with what they get. Well ok is less than pleased with the leather jacket but who can blame the guy? Sam and Dan got us silly string. Oh the havoc that ensues. Sam with his cleverness saves the last bit till no one had any left and ambushes us all. He’s a crafty one that Sam. We spend the rest of the day just relaxing and enjoying a Christmas video or special; The grinch that stole Christmas “BUT WHAT WILL I WEAR?!?” or maybe a Christmas story. “Ra ra ra ra ra’ If I have my way we play a game of monopoly but well I never get my way.
