We are gearing up for VBS here in Bangor. It looks like it’s going to be a really great experience for the kids. It’s supposed to be set in the Jerusalem marketplace, and it seems like we’re going to turn them all into Jews (I'm not giving up hot dogs though). Everything we have to do is something related with the Jewish customs and practices, but Jesus was a Jew so it’s all good. I am also working on my speak/preach for Sunday. I’m ion full “hurry up and wait for more revelation” mode. I hate it when this happens, but actually I love it, but seriously I don’t. So I’m getting more and more every few minutes and it’s slowly coming together. I’m no longer having a panic attack over it every two minutes any more (only very three hours). I don’t know whey I stress so much about stuff like this if I bomb oh well, if I get all of Bangor saved that’s cool beans too. I don’t really remember much of the last few days except I was on the Truck at The Family Store and I wanted to throw some stuff out of a window form the second story. I saw “Kingdom of Heaven” on Tuesday. That was good stuff. Orlando bloom (he’s so hot) led an army in the crusades defending Jerusalem after the rest of the army was killed by the Muslim army. There was a quote that I really liked where Orlando bloom made all these guys knights and a priest said, “Do you think making a man a knight will make him a better fighter.” Orlando Bloom Said, “yes it will.” I don’t know exactly why I like the quote but I do. I know it shouldn’t make any difference what your rank is in the army fight as hard as you can. Maybe it’s the whole idea of when you have a rank or some type of title you want to uphold that and title. It’s something more to fight for. If anyone has any more insight it would be appreciated. Another good quote is “tell the truth always, even if it means your death.” Yet for your sake we face death all day long-Psalm 44:22. After he (Orlando Bloom) was defeated he went back home. He went back to being a blacksmith and later King Richard came looking for him to go back to Jerusalem and fight on another crusade. All he said was I am just a blacksmith –Humility. It was all good stuff. It doesn’t paint a very good picture of Christians but it did have some good points. Can someone please tell me when did I start to watch movies differently? I never watched movies to find preaching points in them. I’m probably going to be doing that for the rest of my life now. I used to quote stuff like “The sponges migrated a foot and a half” Bill Murray—Ghostbusters. Now I quote stuff like “Let go of everything you are afraid to loose” Yoda—“Star Wars Revenge of the Sith”. That’s so weird. It 's just one of the many side effects of a year at The War College.
I just had an epiphany. Since there's really no limit as to how many phase's you can do, couldn't we call The War College, The War University? Who's with me?!?! This reminds me of the time I wanted to in spell souldier with a u. Well, I never stopped. Ha ha ha ha.
Tara is back form New Jersey (when does New York and New Jersey stop being new?) so we’re united, strong, still pushing forward and still making progress like she never left.
