OK, so there we are praying for funds to send some guys to Men's Camp and instantly God raises up some amazing servants who provide the answer to our prayer in abundance! Praise the Lord! Then I receive an e-mail saying mens camp is cancelled, no explanation, no sorry, just pass on the message! OK!

I just have to kick back and thank God in advance as I stand in awe of the doors he will open for these guys who have been stoked about going to camp and the blessing they received from generous donors who don't even know them.

I will laugh about this as I bask in the glory of a God who never fails to provide for his children!

I AM METH - JUDY WEST

2006-08-25T22:06:00.000-07:00

A young girl, who was in jail on drug charges and addicted to Meth wrote this poem. She wrote it while in jail. She fully grasped the horrors of the drug, as she tells us in this simple yet profound poem. She was released from jail, but, true to her story, the drug owned her. They found her dead not long after, with the needle still in her arm Please keep praying. This thing is worse than any of us realize.

I AM METH – Judy West

I destroy homes, I tear families apart
I take your children, and that’s just the start
I’m more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold

If you need me, remember, I’m easily found
I live all around you –in schools and the town
I live with the rich – I live with the poor
I live down the street and maybe next door.

I’m made in a lab, but not like you think
I can be made under the kitchen sink
In your child’s closet, and even in the woods
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should

I have many names, but there’s one you know best
I’m sure you’ve heard of me, my names crystal meth
My power is awesome, try me you’ll see
But if you do, you may never break free
Just try me once and I might let you go
But try me twice, and I’ll own your soul.

When I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie
You do what you have to – just to get high
The crimes you’ll commit for my narcotic charms
Will be worth the pleasure you’ll feel in your arms

You’ll lie to your mother; you’ll steal from your dad
When you see their tears, you should feel sad
But you’ll forget all your morals and how you were raised
I’ll be your conscience, I’ll teach you my ways

I take kids from parents and parents from kids
I turn people from God and separate friends
I’ll take everything from you, your looks and your pride
I’ll be with you always – right by your side

You’ll give up everything – your family, your home
Your friends, your money, then you’ll be alone
I’ll take, and take, till you have nothing more to give.
When I’m finished with you, you’ll be lucky to live

If you try me be warned – this is no game
If given the chance, I’ll drive you insane
I’ll ravish your body, I’ll control your mind
I’ll own you completely, your soul will be mine

The nightmares I’ll give you while lying in bed
The voices you’ll hear from inside your head
The sweats, the shakes, and the visions you’ll see
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me

But then it’s too late, and you’ll know in your heart
That you are mine and we shall not part
You’ll regret that you tried me, they always do
But you came to me – not I to you

You knew this would happen, many times you were told
But you challenged my power and chose to be bold
You could have said no, and just walked away
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?

I’ll be your master, you will be my slave
I’ll even go with you, when you go to your grave
Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It’s all up to you

I can bring you more misery than words can tell
Come take my hand – let me lead you to HELL!

Utterly and completely Blogus!

Ok, so I don't have much to say today except:

DRUGS WILL KILL YOU - JESUS CAN SAVE YOU!

TOUGH DECISION? WE NEED TO TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God I pray that drugs, alcohol and tobacco would become a repulsive, foul, detestable stench to your children - I pray that you would protect them as that little loser satan tries to taunt them with such things. satan, I don't know if you can read so I yell this out to you as I write...you are a loser - you have already lost and now you're just whining and sniveling like a disgusting slimy snake hoping to find more losers who will listen to you...Jesus already kicked your a*@ into the firy pit where you belong and you have noo hold on his children. I REBUKE YOU!...ALOT!

If you're using drugs or drinking alcohol you will die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God has mch more abundant a life planned for you than that!....

Holy Bamboozling Blogness Batman!

2006-08-07T22:41:00.000-07:00

Ok, so the title really has nothing to with the blog but it just sounded cool.

I was reading Pilgrims Progress the other day..heard lots of and about it through dramas, sermons etc but never actually read it. It's G-O-O-O-D!!!

It brought to my attention a scripture passage which has totally blessed me and I have been able to share it with a couple of other people this week who have also been encouraged by it...coincidence - I think not!! Here it is:

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all! So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unsen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4: 17-18

How cool is God? Way!

I have the amazing privilege of sharing a few homiletical thoughts at highpoint for the next two sundays. Total and complete wowness! I am excited to see what God has for me to share...the excitement has already begun in that I am looking at my Bible a bit more as of late , (holy confession batman!) Anyway, if you're the prayin type, please pray for me and for highpoint! If you're not the prayin type leave me a comment with your name so I can pray for you.

Oh Calamity!

Robin and Jacob are off to Moms and Tots camp for five days...whatever will I do? How will I eat? How will I get anything done with nobody to tell me to do it and nobody to distract me from doing it after I've been told to do it? The answers to these and other calamities have been plagueing me all evening....but there is a vision of hope, through the advice of a good friend I think I have secured a few meals at the downtown Sally (My buddy Pat's a great cook!)

Exciting things happen at moms and tots camp, Jacob started walking for the first time at moms and tots. He (the "crawling only baby") and Robin (mommy) were just sittin chillin' in the field when Robin looked up to see Jacob running across the field to the cafeteria...thats my boy!

Blogiferous - The Sequel

2006-07-29T23:03:00.000-07:00

okay, so at the risk of having this become a repetitive rant...I was thinking after my first blog entry and thought, you know, there is just so much more to the lack of connection between the racing world besides the fact that i seem to be anchored in the now...the only obvious problem being that I seem to have anchored somewhere in the eighties! I went with m brother to a we celebratory party at the keg this past Christmas and the waiter ever so promptly asked if i would like anything to drink.
Well, not being a "drinker", I asked if I could just have a glass of water as I wasn't ready to make a decision just yet. He replied, "bottle or tap?" Ok, so i found that funny and as such decided to go for the bottled. He replied, "chilled or room temperature"? Who is this guy? ok so we're with a few people and this is becoming quite entertaining so I decide i will ask what kind they have. He replied with at least five different types, never heard of them before, don't remeber them now. I pick one that is recommended to me by a friend and the waiter continues to ask if I would like a glass with it or if I would like a glass...WOW! I asked how much extra the glass was - he laughed....hmmmm. anyway, so I'm drinking this water for a while and tastes all funky wierd and the lady beside me is drinking he same drink...she asks, "may I get a glass of water and the waiter replies yes ma'am and right quick brings her a glass of water...ooooh I was mad! Remember my first question? CAN I HAVE A GLASS OF WATER? I'M NOT READY JUT YET TO MAKE A DECISION!

Well, it's official....Apparently I've been blogged! Robin is trying desperately to help me enter the 21st century. The first time she asked if I had seen her blog I thought she was talking dirty to me... (though I didn't understand) imagine my embarrassment!

Technology has left me way behind. I remember being excited about showing my cool record collection to my nieces and they said, "What are those?" I said they were records and went on to explain they were just big cds to which the replied,,,"what's a cd?" WHy I oughtta!... I just replaced my first computer ever and it had 32 mb of ram. I haven't bought a cd in about 10 years or more. I have never owned a portable cd player (discman) and now there are mp3 players and as i was entertaining thoughts of getting one I was told it would be better to get an Ipod. Ipod's in Pat's world are where Captain Kirk found most of his girlfriends! What's up with that anyway? The guy made out with every form of species they ever encountered...Even the blob. He truly went where no man had gone before. (WOW)

But ya, anyway, I'm not even up to date in the coffee shop. There I was in Starbucks - with Robin and she ordered an iced caramel machiato with milk not cream extra caramel , please put some on the bottom and lots on top and oh ya, venti please!!!!! I ordered "a coffee" Then i was asked if i wanted it hot or cold to which I replied if it's cold i'm bringing it back for a hot one. (Robin now looking slightly embarrassed) i was then asked if I wanted it light, medium or dark roast, to which I responded..."Black" (Robin is now praying for the earth to open and swallow her whole to avoid anymore embarrassment) but it's not over, they ask...what blend I want -what ever happened to the days when a cup of coffee was just the drain off of crushed coffee beans. what blend do i want....BEANS of course. Would you like it with cream, milk or half and half..."BLACK" Will that be venti, grande, whatever, I WANT A BIG CUP OF PLAIN BLACK COFFEE PLEASE!!!! And then it cost me like ten bucks!
