Easter, 24/7 Prayer, Delerious? and U2

It has been awhile, but with all that has been happnin around here, Life is Great, Prayers are being answered, Lives are being impacted, i am writing more than you would know. yeah God gave me a pretty cool talent and gift of writing and with all that. Messages for my Impact broddas and mates all ova the world. Great prayers are being answered.
24/7 Prayer may have slowed for awhile at the chuch but its effects will be long lasting. I have been prayin for two guys specifically, One to return to his love and service for our Lord. It is gonna be a long road, but I believe God will be drawing him back to His love and service. The otha one is for my mate down in Aussie, Brenden is praying for his dream to continue, that is to come and play baseball in the States. for relationships to be strengthened and His love for GOD to grow more and more.
Delerious? was awesome, It was more than I could have expected. The lyric content, their heart for worship, their eagerness to grow and learn, the light show and video graphics for showing the lyrics was off the hook.. Too much, But I loved it.
U2, what i have learned of Bono and U2 recently has increased my listening pleasure and my respect for them. hey they have two new CD's coming out and a Movie, U23D. It should be really awesome. Bono uses scripture for his song selection and or messages. He is a true believer. just check out "40" or Pride. awesome stuff and "Gloria"
Well more coming soon.

Amplified '07

One year afta I got back into the HPC student ministry, which is REFUGE, We did AMplified and now a year has past. I am AMPed to see what God is gonna do this weekend with these students.
It was great last year, but this year looks to be beyond all imagination of what we can think or hope.
I will be in the Senior guys house with Terry Olivier and some awesome Seniors doing some amazing things for God. What will happen?

A look back at last year, Ms Christine Caine preached and let us know that wherever we are, we are to do the Lord's work. be it in church or on the mission field, called School, work or our teams.
After Amplified, I went with Refuge to Destin, FL for Summer Youth Camp, called Exhibit, and then started a Life Group in the fall semester of '06, called then Student Athletes, now creatively called IMPACT.

What is gonna happen this yea? Wait and see, well then again, we start tomorrow nite, Friday April 16, then again, we actually started last nite with Obed Edom, and CHad Daniels preachin up the Word. . Get ready for the Ride of a lifetime.
Wax up the board and get ready for Spring. even for summa.

I send out a weekly dev to my IMPACT bros in Refuge. This past week was on Forgiveness, which takes us back to prayer and the Lord's model prayer.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us.
Matthew 6:19,
Til I write again.

The Holiday season

We are closely approaching the holiday season and time is running down on the year of 2006. Minsitry activity is about to go full til. We have Christmas parites, outreaches, and my faves, sports like no ones business. We will start week three of basketball practice right after Thanksgiving and then games will begin in December.

Flags for my room, an Aussie flag, a US one of course, even a Brazilian I need food and some decent cologne. Hollister or like such. New shoes would also be great. But I really need stuff for fixin up my truck. Make it run better.
What's yer desire?

We are in ova our heads

I found out this mornin that we as Christians are most of the time in ova our heads. Too many times we are drowning. But the good news is that Jesus comes and pulls us out. He rescues us from our sometimes or most of the times dingo decisions. Yes we are like Dingos. dumb dogs. But God will rescue us as long as we are hoping in Him Trusting in his power to make up for our lack.
In HPC Athlietic sports ministry we just finished with our soccer season and are about to start the basketball seasom. I really never thought I would be saying this but I miss soccer. i hated it when I was a little kid cuz another kid had kicked me in the shin. This was before shin guards. I was even kind of sad. I love being outdoors. Getting sun and fresh air, haha.
Most Louisiana air is smoggy with plant stuff or with other alergents. Is that a real word.
We have a couple crazy weeks before us. One Way Worship concert this Wednesday, Celebration Weekend soon afta and next Wednesday Ms. Joyce Meyers is in town for two Wednesday night services.
Then Basketball is in full throtle.
Stay strong and depend on His strength to make up for our lack.
As Coach Julio Melera would say, Don't desire Lack.
