We leave from Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTI) around 5:30 pm. We had a huge Harvest Party and combination 5 year anniversary at the church on Sunday and we are still beat. We were there from 8am until after 10pm. It was a nice day, we had a bunch of inflatable rides for the kids (Bounce house, Jousting, Obstacle Course etc.) We had live music inside and outside and recorded some of it to be on a live album that the church is doing.<br /><br />I’ve got to go to work for a couple of hours today to wrap up some loose ends. A whole bunch of the church staff is going to Israel so we all have people in place to do our jobs. Paige is going to stay at home and continue packing. I guess we are going to the church later today and carpool to the airport. We are really excited.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHXHkCh8qMTfiYs2UdwnsEtfWe-Fj2ONpihTZdTXd1cwgPGU3i9uWmhGUyg0ERbITVFRQuRuKy8EQttZRDaDGjUOEntM3Z8NNMwCpgThQoVE1fmbEpDp7zfVkO3rmyg8tVi-ZZpw/s1600-h/ONEeighty_logo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 161px; height: 161px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHXHkCh8qMTfiYs2UdwnsEtfWe-Fj2ONpihTZdTXd1cwgPGU3i9uWmhGUyg0ERbITVFRQuRuKy8EQttZRDaDGjUOEntM3Z8NNMwCpgThQoVE1fmbEpDp7zfVkO3rmyg8tVi-ZZpw/s320/ONEeighty_logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127111658753270402" border="0" /></a><br />Things have been going really well here. So well that there isn’t much time for anything else. It’s really rare when we aren’t at the church. I still do the facilities work but now I also get to be on the Benevolence Team (It’s 3 people and we give out food boxes and help with bills) and we both serve with ONEeighty Calvary Chapel of the Triad’s Youth Group. Paige also still works in the Blessing Room (it’s a room that people bring in clothes for others. Anyone can come in and take whatever they need for free.) and now she answers the church’s phones at various times on various days. It’s great and we are so thankful.<br /><br />We are planning to update this as much as possible in Israel so stay tuned..http://www.blogger.com/profile/03295317078154066942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30601151.post-39232644048141408342007-08-04T11:32:00.000-05:002008-12-08T22:58:02.373-05:00Can you believe it.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrrp_84ub8Ung4ZmLj2M2Hg7dkh-aIpF4WF30Hk3mzy4QUpL-BLjPWUbAmnlfldGbOMsJu89cLm0Md8D0G05YhmSTtl5_OHD5Y87KwJH-0hJ22KFHJvHFp71HNjy0GxxYbNvrrHA/s1600-h/1857927-Idaho_State_Capitol_in_Boise-Boise.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 151px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrrp_84ub8Ung4ZmLj2M2Hg7dkh-aIpF4WF30Hk3mzy4QUpL-BLjPWUbAmnlfldGbOMsJu89cLm0Md8D0G05YhmSTtl5_OHD5Y87KwJH-0hJ22KFHJvHFp71HNjy0GxxYbNvrrHA/s400/1857927-Idaho_State_Capitol_in_Boise-Boise.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094906310274800658" border="0" /></a><br />This time last year we were in South Dakota heading for Nebraska and It's pretty hard for us to believe, but we started this blog over a year ago. This time last year we were eatin' pancakes at a KOACarHenge. It was a wonderful trip and I wouldn't change any of it. I was talking with some of the other staff a lunch and was asked if we had any regrets about moving to NC. I miss my family and friends but other than that NC is just amazing. It really is hard to believe how settled in we are here. Church is going better that we had ever dreamed. It's still hard for me to believe I work there. We love our house<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-8Oy1aXypNt319_nsRu3LPMVyzqQHrqNHbp-FciI0_k7BS_baLk2qmzbk0Tq4hD7KE7lB_DtTAEnxRGvjEl0jSP5RxxmvxEEXLu9KwPTtZ7VClChKD6nHN8QFl2DcLUFM6puTXQ/s1600-h/boise_at_night+3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 222px; height: 173px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-8Oy1aXypNt319_nsRu3LPMVyzqQHrqNHbp-FciI0_k7BS_baLk2qmzbk0Tq4hD7KE7lB_DtTAEnxRGvjEl0jSP5RxxmvxEEXLu9KwPTtZ7VClChKD6nHN8QFl2DcLUFM6puTXQ/s400/boise_at_night+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094903028919786498" border="0" /></a> and especially the yard. When you have a small house you really have to learn to use the spaces better. The living room doubles as the office, the guest room as the workout area and laundry room but we love it. The deck is coming along nicely (as you have seen) but would still be just a dream if it wasn't for Joe & Gina Floyd. North Carolina is definitely a better place because of them. We do miss Boise but we are sure this is where we are supposed to be.

We had really wanted to and were actually saving to go but were unsure whether we would really be going but we sent our deposit in yesterday. We already have our passports because we have really wanted to go on Missions trips. Our Pastor will be going and teaching throughout so it will be amazing. We will be leaving on October 30th and returning on November 11th. Our friends Joe and Gina Floyd will be going with us so it will be extra fun. I’ve heard a trip to Israel is like a year in Bible College and I’m sure it will be especially interesting with our Pastor teaching in the actual locations we have been studying in the Bible.<br /><br />It is going to be very expensive and like I had said we have been saving but it is still going to be tricky. I hate to ask but we hope that some of you might be able to donate a little bit to help fund our trip. We sure don’t want anyone to feel obligated to help and we wouldn’t want anyone to give too much but if a few people gave a little bit it would sure help.

First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. <span style="font-size:78%;">17</span> Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. <span style="font-size:78%;">18</span> So encourage each other with these words. <span style="font-size:78%;"><strong>(1Thess 4:13-18 New Living Translation)<br /></strong></span><a name="13"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIly-fctDNx5_uaWg7f8qYBiOvy2YwM7BwjzdbJ2_GddPQrKcQplJFi7lzgvu4Stpjft4z9Dl9ZfQxDHklPSJAGzcAcv4fnoopAEXViLQZi-Nt_rarghIw8woA6ZNXQF-Waq7-lA/s1600-h/Yoked.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073836168650589746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIly-fctDNx5_uaWg7f8qYBiOvy2YwM7BwjzdbJ2_GddPQrKcQplJFi7lzgvu4Stpjft4z9Dl9ZfQxDHklPSJAGzcAcv4fnoopAEXViLQZi-Nt_rarghIw8woA6ZNXQF-Waq7-lA/s400/Yoked.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCRI3mPeOwLkVzBeAAmQ73IO_cFJMWxLWOKDFxxTJwC1a8NqnOa0XkdptElozuNFLOw_3kRKx3AXrktbyEKRqyNkbMsJKfVYyJwmUm_79pTjXDhsOK13noeXUIC15eHPPHhJXFzQ/s1600-h/StopDrop.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073835880887780898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCRI3mPeOwLkVzBeAAmQ73IO_cFJMWxLWOKDFxxTJwC1a8NqnOa0XkdptElozuNFLOw_3kRKx3AXrktbyEKRqyNkbMsJKfVYyJwmUm_79pTjXDhsOK13noeXUIC15eHPPHhJXFzQ/s400/StopDrop.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavMsSChZxbN1e6iHOkYGl-ZxLNian5Cq2Em2fCPVb8c2kYUkjiCv38RD40hwByNRF64z92uS98xeoji85Cg-9_jEoZ84JbOQxG0FFZU6KpwTg18Ha3aR4GFPvf3m_xBOyt5Wp3A/s1600-h/Rocks.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073835752038762002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 337px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 292px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="344" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavMsSChZxbN1e6iHOkYGl-ZxLNian5Cq2Em2fCPVb8c2kYUkjiCv38RD40hwByNRF64z92uS98xeoji85Cg-9_jEoZ84JbOQxG0FFZU6KpwTg18Ha3aR4GFPvf3m_xBOyt5Wp3A/s400/Rocks.jpg" width="387" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ7tp1lMggGkLCc3uFUccjIEQobFlDyRA_4NG92RVzCxAz-YMIj_Og2W9KYXsB2YeDDTIW5Mmi3lW0hgZWPZQlINfrJkApwbh4PRy-vANex2W5KnLY3aVD-RPJP2JzqrvvI4QdQQ/s1600-h/Trumpet.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073835567355168258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ7tp1lMggGkLCc3uFUccjIEQobFlDyRA_4NG92RVzCxAz-YMIj_Og2W9KYXsB2YeDDTIW5Mmi3lW0hgZWPZQlINfrJkApwbh4PRy-vANex2W5KnLY3aVD-RPJP2JzqrvvI4QdQQ/s400/Trumpet.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:78%;">52</span> in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

Mike has been working with Chris around the church, and said “of course” Chas asked if Mike had to call and ask me, and he said no (because he doesn’t, first of all Mike is the head of the household, and second, I submit to my husband). So, enter Chris Knight, our adopted 20 year old son. Chris recently came to accept Jesus as his Savior, and was baptized, and went to TN to join an extensive rehab program. The program went pear shaped, and Chris <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjswe-E1HDIE9czUwWUXTZJpT3ZywCPYipdtZEg2AOkwMdKQWMIkXee2OYez0oT_2RmKfBQbtsNG3ejAu4KMXO7mFIMgwgXPXuiVRSuS5DXocRMhUXIT397QZ08_cOcRGfr0E1H_A/s1600-h/%5B2007-04-30%5D+Fishin%27+Trip+(18).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069962270234217586" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjswe-E1HDIE9czUwWUXTZJpT3ZywCPYipdtZEg2AOkwMdKQWMIkXee2OYez0oT_2RmKfBQbtsNG3ejAu4KMXO7mFIMgwgXPXuiVRSuS5DXocRMhUXIT397QZ08_cOcRGfr0E1H_A/s320/%5B2007-04-30%5D+Fishin%27+Trip+(18).JPG" border="0" /></a>was forced to come back to NC. He really didn’t have anywhere he could go, so one of the Assistant Pastors took him home. And Chris was entered into the rehab program we have at the church. Extensive Bible teaching, and working at the church. The program can be 3-6 months, depending on progress. One thing Chris had to do was quit smoking, stay away from old friends and have limited interaction with family. Not to be mean, just to teach him disipline, and how to submit to authority.<br />Whereas James lived in the motorhome, Chris gets to live in the house. We have him situated in the guest room and things are going well. I only see him for limited time, morning and evenings, where Mike has him all day at work too, but we are all learning things and enjoying the fact that the Lord is using us and our house to do HIS good work. Chris’s mother and step-father live in Kernersville and he gets to spend Sundays with them, after church(they attend there too) and his father lives about 2 hrs south and came up with his grandparents for church the other Sunday. It looks like we will have him with us until June, or whenever he gets out of the “program”. Someone in the church will employ him, and he will get an apartment, and his drivers license, he’s obviously looking forward to that, but right now, he just needs to be “poured into” and get strong in the Lord, before he goes out into the “real world”. We are loving on him, and he has become part of the family..http://www.blogger.com/profile/03295317078154066942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30601151.post-31506404039897983742007-04-07T08:49:00.000-05:002007-05-19T10:17:36.054-05:00JamesWe were sitting around watching TV one night, it was almost dark, so around 7:30pm and there was a knock on the door. We thought it was our “handy man Jesse”, so Mike answered the door, and went out on the porch to talk. I went around to the bedroom window to see who it was, and saw Mike talking to a young white man with blonde hair. I watched them speak for awhile, making sure there was no angry body language and that everything was safe, then I went in to wash dishes or something. A couple minutes later I again went to the bedroom window to see that everything was still ok, and I see Mike with his hand on this boys shoulder praying for him! Tears came to my eyes, it is so awesome to see how God is transforming my husband! Next thing I know, Mike is in the house putting shoes on, and getting the car keys. The young man’s name is James and his car has been stolen, Mike is taking him to George’s house(a friend of James)where he is staying. Mike gets back a little later and unfolds the story. James lives down south about an hour, in a place called Salisbury, he came up to help George move, and he left his keys in the car at the gas station, and it was stolen. Now it was Easter weekend, and he was stuck til Monday, waiting to hear from the detective. About an hour later, Mike’s cell phone rings and it is James, family came to stay with George for the holiday weekend, and he was getting kicked out of his bed, did Mike know where he could spend the night? Bus station, hospital waiting room? Are you crazy? So, Mike went and picked him up while I fixed up the motorhome. We had let Jesse and his girlfriend Jocelyn store some stuff in there, so it was an ordeal, but I got it where you could walk and the bed made up, so that was where James stayed the night. The next day was Easter and James went to church with us, stayed thru both services, while Mike worked in the coffee bar, then went to George’s house for Easter dinner. We had Easter dinner of our own, new friends from church Joe and Gina Floyd and my friend Kathy from work and her husband Chris and daughter Brianna. Kathy brought a ham, and I did some lamb, scalloped potatoes and some southern greens. It was cold and windy so we ate inside, which was a tad crowded, but we all laughed really hard and had a great time. As the party was winding down James showed back up, and we had some more time to talk to him. He knows the Lord, and knows he’s not living the way he should, and meeting us, hopefully put the “fire” back in him. He stayed another 3 nights, during the day he would play phone tag about his car, and work around the neighborhood doing yardwork for money. He was in touch with his boss (he works for a plumber) and was coming to get him Thursday. He kept trying to get info about his car, and finally found out that nobody was assigned to his case, the tel# he kept leaving messages at was just the initial officer who took his statement. So (with relief) we said goodbye to James on Thursday, and he promised to keep in touch and to find a church of his own. We continue to pray for James and he has called. He called the first Sunday he was home, had gone to church, with his aunt and had news on the car. It had been pulled over on Monday eve, and had been sitting in the impound lot since Tuesday! Now they wanted him to pay something like $249.00 to get it out! My friend, had been worried about him staying with us, of course there had been some news story warning people about scam artists going door to door, but I had to tell her that we didn’t live by “what ifs” and we had to trust the Lord was going to keep us safe. The Lord did keep us safe and after all the conversations we had with James, we all came to the conclusion that the Lord wanted us to meet. It was cool..http://www.blogger.com/profile/03295317078154066942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30601151.post-4638903020139307682007-03-26T08:47:00.000-05:002007-05-19T10:24:23.971-05:00A Nice Surprise!So, last week the Operations Manager, Chas called Mike into the office and blessed us unexpectedly, this week Mike got called into the office again, and was asked if he wanted to go on staff. Of course the answer was yes! Paperwork was filled out, and insurance info was taken. Another way GOD works is this, insurance wasn’t supposed to be effective for 90 days, but when the insurance cards came in the mail, they were effective immediately. The other thing that we noticed when Mike went on staff was that we were going to need another car. There were a couple days he went in at 7:30am, and I had to take him, go home get ready and get to my work at 9:30, then go pick him up at 6:30pm. A long day for him, and for me, so we asked around the staff and church friends, and started praying for a car. It happened that the Pastor was selling his car, and after we looked on our own for a week, we thought buying his car, would be the easy way to go. So we approached Chas about buying the car, and he told us to “hold off, we are working on something” What does that mean we wondered? So we held off, and by Friday of that week, Mike came home with a free car! Someone had donated this 1996 Buick some time ago, and the church had been waiting for the “right people” to bless it with…WOW!!! What a month it’s been, we wonder what will happen next month!! God is Good!.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03295317078154066942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30601151.post-69141598296001227572007-03-18T21:48:00.000-05:002008-12-08T22:58:16.518-05:00Misc Pics<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEdYgG7twYPWUwUctNEGkqQLS4PQY3HR35u-EUMwzzQd6TOqqxs1Ln_oZFIdGal5BEQs8GdUdboZYyrJclRO6x7_cD9JOPdXZ4hHqHT0BxdoRx5oDlrjFNM7wncWmG0o3zVuGKyw/s1600-h/OneWay1.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043464693244102434" style="DISPLAY: block;

It’s another nice day. After we finish here we will try and get back to the church by lunchtime. Mike is another volunteer; he vacuums the church and cleans the bathrooms. I’ve been doing a few different types of jobs from re-hanging shelves, changing out toilet paper dispensers, gluing molding down as well as the usual painting. I really need to take some pictures so you can see what it looks like. The church and its staff have been an unbelievable blessing to us since we got here. They couldn’t have been more loving or have treated us more like family. They went out of their way and did something really nice for us recently. I don’t really want to go into detail but we know that they are the type of people we want to serve God with. We are so thankful to God for letting us pursue our dreams out here and that He would let us be a part of this incredible “thing” that Calvary Chapel of the Triad is. It is amazing and I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before but this church is a bit over 4 years old and has over a thousand people attending on Sunday. It started as a bible study of 5 people and 4 years later it’s over a thousand. Only God can do that. In the short time we have been here we have seen it grow and expect it to grow even more. It’s a great thing to be part of.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihPJFKzZqU-y9IJ3HUgJRmGjKL4FWXC03aHhPzEqMSAq9j621QHgyNhCaCfaAfJohnWG92u0b2yKqHjejytXkG3OJITFCqQ3XDFBJQR9oGqtmMzgPB_0nLAxGCMYi4g9MvPNILcg/s1600-h/Bird_Carolina+Chickadee+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043441925622465906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 231px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 184px" height="202" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihPJFKzZqU-y9IJ3HUgJRmGjKL4FWXC03aHhPzEqMSAq9j621QHgyNhCaCfaAfJohnWG92u0b2yKqHjejytXkG3OJITFCqQ3XDFBJQR9oGqtmMzgPB_0nLAxGCMYi4g9MvPNILcg/s320/Bird_Carolina+Chickadee+1.jpg" width="269" border="0" /></a>We recently bought a bird feeder and hung it right outside our kitchen window. It took a few weeks before the birds found it, but when they did it was hard to keep it filled. It mainly attracts two types of birds; the Carolina Chickadee (tiny tanish bird with the black and white head) and the Tufted Titmouse (grayish with orange under wings and a spike on its head). I've been trying to take pictures through the window. I have a few good pictures of them. We did get one blurry picture of a Cardinal, which is the main reason we got the feeder. We didn't have Cardinal's in Boise.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043446534122374530" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 269px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 196px" height="217" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidA_8E1nPX9BvOAVLTcFpFiLHfis0n4y7G1FkZewlXzTkj8vHRfFjRaFa5p4qjbvlnLle2JbbDQ1ffXp2Ilp-hjo49s3v-mTqiQ79CoZRR9jOqEENvC2XYc__isyNUY_pP9satxw/s320/Bird_Carolina+Chickadee+2.jpg" width="286" border="0" />There is a North Carolina Women’s Conference hosted by the Calvary Chapel in Cary, coming later this month and Paige is going to go. It’s 3 days and 2 nights in Greensboro. Greensboro is about 20 miles away but they are going to stay in a hotel. It should be a really great time to get to know other women in the congregation and to be able to spend time with people she already knows. In May I am planning to go to the Southern Pastors conference in Atlanta, GA. its open to Pastors, leaders and people who want to learn more so I’m going to go. The church is working on teaming <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLPtaVhZe2Tj8mJVlcsNn_eqajNh5sfXiT88DClcckyHDlEaanTGTr-SUcixlzlXwWxAZPsyjBMdXl18VJm6SKfgQNQTFD1A0Hxg-_QDPnsggN9FgyTAcAiRM0AK1Kva-gPEG9zQ/s1600-h/Bird_Tufted+Titmouse+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043447062403351954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 272px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 186px" height="202" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLPtaVhZe2Tj8mJVlcsNn_eqajNh5sfXiT88DClcckyHDlEaanTGTr-SUcixlzlXwWxAZPsyjBMdXl18VJm6SKfgQNQTFD1A0Hxg-_QDPnsggN9FgyTAcAiRM0AK1Kva-gPEG9zQ/s320/Bird_Tufted+Titmouse+1.jpg" width="288" border="0" /></a>people up with rides and sharing hotels rooms to keep the cost down. We are also praying about being able to go with the church to Israel late in the year. Money is fairly tight with one income but we have begun saving already so we can go. Our Pastor is very knowledgeable about Israel and is very good bringing the original Hebrew into his messages so it will be very interesting to be there and being able to hear him teach in the original land. We as a church and as a family support the Jewish people and Israel in general. This may come as a <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg67gnamL96oYAUt_wp_pBYdpd7bsdcbOJdVJ0E-fodMsfLc05KzaOn73a_9DyTjkP6CL4yvWkcEfnv1yU0xjoa1N3d_3JCwBmYgaN_-4xAqE3ZvsPnZQQZRn377YXJNoolrk6BlA/s1600-h/Bird_Blurry+Cardinal.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043447783957857698" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" height="194" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg67gnamL96oYAUt_wp_pBYdpd7bsdcbOJdVJ0E-fodMsfLc05KzaOn73a_9DyTjkP6CL4yvWkcEfnv1yU0xjoa1N3d_3JCwBmYgaN_-4xAqE3ZvsPnZQQZRn377YXJNoolrk6BlA/s320/Bird_Blurry+Cardinal.jpg" width="270" border="0" /></a>surprise to some of you, but Jesus and all of the 1st Christians were Jews and God made promises to them that He will not break. If you pray, we would ask you to pray that God would open doors and help us get to the places that he wants us to be. We really just want to be where He wants us to be.<br /><br />We went out to Hillbilly Hide-A-Way for dinner with some people Paige works with (Sammy and his girlfriend and Kathy and her family). It always has great country style food and this time we stuck around and went to the area set aside for live music. The musicians are very talented and I have always been a fan of old bluegrass style country music (i.e. Hank William Sr., George Jones and banjos etc.) It was a lot of fun and we hope to do it again.

We wanted to meet their dogs, Drew (think German Shepherd / Whippet) and Macy (Wirehair Terrier Mix). We had a great time with the people and the dogs and are looking forward to going to Flea Markets, camping, etc. with them (the people). We have a lot in common and really hit it off (the people). The dogs are really sweet and Macy has a natural Mohawk and eyebrows like I would have if I didn’t trim them. We are going to enjoy watching them and will upload pictures later. (later turns out to be now.)<br /><br />I guess you can see I have added some other informational items on the left side of the blog.

Everyone starts screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in their determined efforts to get away from evil incarnate. Soon, everyone is evacuated from the church except for one man, who sit calmly in his pew, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy is in his presence. This confuses Satan a bit. Satan walks up to the man and says, "Hey, don't you know who I am?" The man says, "Yep, sure do. "Satan says, "Well, aren't you afraid of me?" The man says, "Nope, sure ain't. "Satan, perturbed, says, "And why aren't you afraid of me?" The man says, "Well, I've been married to your sister for 25 years."<br /><div><div><div><div><div><br /><div><strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXbEbkdyUV41MTpqq73Ahp6mZAi3DXJ_KWoGuYR4GYgT-fFcqY3PlHOGJ7SPoujqYgdRrUQLLappMgDnVShVxrY73q57jIsTdGLH0OC1-H46yQ41MHy49BPCrI312zwujLDyQgA/s1600-h/trickortreatinhell.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5034476909843406818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 285px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 307px" height="290" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZXbEbkdyUV41MTpqq73Ahp6mZAi3DXJ_KWoGuYR4GYgT-fFcqY3PlHOGJ7SPoujqYgdRrUQLLappMgDnVShVxrY73q57jIsTdGLH0OC1-H46yQ41MHy49BPCrI312zwujLDyQgA/s400/trickortreatinhell.jpg" width="284" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#ffff99;">Uh-Oh<br /></span></strong>A woman takes her 16-year-old daughter to the doctor. The doctor says, "Okay, Mrs. Jones, what's the problem?” The mother says, "It's my daughter, Debbie. She keeps getting these cravings, she's putting on weight, and is sick most mornings." The doctor gives Debbie a good examination, then turns to the mother and says, "Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but your Debbie is pregnant - about 4 months, would be my guess. "The mother says, "Pregnant?! She can't be, she has never ever been left alone with a man! Have you, Debbie?" Debbie says, "No mother! I've never even kissed a man!" The doctor walked over to the window and just stares out it. About five minutes pass and finally the mother says, "Is there something wrong out there doctor?" The doctor replies, "No, not really, it's just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the east and three wise men came over the hill. I'll be darned if I'm going to miss it this time!"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWwMv5cAM8Q7HKR4aXiaxhH49HBjpTGS2tiePJOX6wdzt8K6PVxk9lu3yJCGJzuCsLjiGgy_D5SydW7M0Xd3IVeY-j1ruTBb9bKqegHfw5dI1zTkdiW8q0iHwZESrxiMxxxp06Kg/s1600-h/chch-atheist.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5034484559180161122" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWwMv5cAM8Q7HKR4aXiaxhH49HBjpTGS2tiePJOX6wdzt8K6PVxk9lu3yJCGJzuCsLjiGgy_D5SydW7M0Xd3IVeY-j1ruTBb9bKqegHfw5dI1zTkdiW8q0iHwZESrxiMxxxp06Kg/s400/chch-atheist.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><strong><span style="color:#ffff99;">The Helper</span></strong><br />A pastor is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street. However, the boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach.<br />After watching the boys efforts for some time, the pastor moves closer to the boy's position. He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring. Crouching down to the child's level, the pastor smiles benevolently and asks, "And now what, my little man?" To which the boy replies, "Now we run!"<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ffff99;">Guess Who's Wanted?</span><br /></strong><br /><em>Wanted By:</em><br /><br />the FDA for turning water into wine without a license,<br />the EPA for killing fig trees,<br />the AMA for practicing medicine without a license,<br />the Dept. of Health for asking people to open graves, for raising the dead and for feeding 5,000 people in the wilderness,<br />the NEA for teaching without a certificate,<br />OSHA for walking on water without a life-jacket and for flying without an airplane,<br />the SPCA for driving hogs into the sea,<br />the NATIONAL BOARD of PSYCHIATRISTS for giving advice on how to live a guilt-free life,<br />the NOW for not choosing a woman apostle,<br />the ABORTION RIGHTS LEAGUE for saying that whoever harms children, it is better that they had never been born,<br />the INTER-FAITH MOVEMENT for condemning all other religions,<br />and by the ZONING DEPT for building mansions without a permit.<br />Guess Who?<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ffff99;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgphu6WPr5ZumivFwSKnqPcVdOCJ7bHMgUHHku6aXCglvPBFANRdEXTtGoUhnW8Sw9Wp27yPZaS_cws9HiZFmWGV9sQe34BCpoTlg-tKIQe_jB_fqT5BanUY8W3weQyff9sVZIng/s1600-h/ascension.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5034478215513464834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="384" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgphu6WPr5ZumivFwSKnqPcVdOCJ7bHMgUHHku6aXCglvPBFANRdEXTtGoUhnW8Sw9Wp27yPZaS_cws9HiZFmWGV9sQe34BCpoTlg-tKIQe_jB_fqT5BanUY8W3weQyff9sVZIng/s400/ascension.jpg" width="310" border="0" /></a>Growth For The 1990s Generation</span><br /></strong>1. As I let go of my feelings of guilt, I am in touch with my inner sociopath. </div><br /><div><br />2. I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia. </div><br /><div><br />3. I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault. </div><br /><div><br />4. I no longer need to punish, deceive, or compromise myself, unless I want to stay employed. </div><br /><div><br />5. In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. </div><br /><div><br />6. Having control over myself is almost as good as having control over others. </div><br /><div><br />7. My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of self-judgment. </div><br /><div><br />8.

When someone hurts me, I know that forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit, but not nearly as gratifying. </div><br /><div><br />14. The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice things. </div><br /><div><br />15.

I am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them. </div><br /><div><br />33. Before I criticize a man, I walk a mile in his shoes.
