This is my podium, my practice ground for learning what to say & how to say it. I have opinions & stories. To say it simply, thats what this is about.
I do a lot of things, have a lot of dreams & have a lot to say. I'm not always right but I'm young & learning so I don't need to be, these my opinions & observations.

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Day 1 - Miami to Paraguay</u></b></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I knew it would be a long travel day, no one would have had to try too hard to convince me. I didn’t and wouldn’t have guessed at how it all went down though.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Miami to Panama City went smoothly. It’s when the planes tires hit Central American soil that things got rocky. Not in the landing itself but in many of the things that are taken for granted in the time after a plane lands.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">There were power troubles, a majority outage to be exact, that prevented the plane from being able to utilize the standard walk way and thus kept us from being able to de-board like usual. So we sat on the tarmac for quite some time, close to an hour I think but time was hard to keep track of during the entire trip.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Eventually the operations at the airport used a ramp to allow us, and all the other planes that we could see, to get off and continue our travels. After getting off we got on a bus which took us to the terminal. Fast forwarding another 2 hours of sitting around we were notified that our next plane was ready to be boarded. Once aboard we waited for another 30 - 45 minutes because of potential flight path restrictions. If the nearly 2.5 hrs of waiting wasn’t enough then a dreadfully boring flight was like salt in a wound.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">We landed around 1 am & quickly proceeded to the Visa area. It took around 40 minutes for the whole group to make it past those windows and beyond the nearby check point. From there a short walk to the baggage claim preceded another to the point at which our hosts were waiting. After a 20 - 30 minute drive to the campus we unloaded, got final instructions for the day and for the morning then retired for the evening. The guys quarters were nicer then I expected & before long sleep came upon me. It was a welcome ending to a long day!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Day 2 - Asuncion</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span></u></b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Due to the late night we were given til 9 to have breakfast. After breakfast we participated in chapel time at the school down the hill. The amount of energy that the kids and the leader used was shocking. The only thing that kept it from being downright Pentecostal was the absence of a flag waver. It was a joy to behold and to be apart of!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">We then transitioned to lunch. We’ve been told that lunch is the most substantial of the three meals and for today at least, it bared out that way. It was a shmorgasbord of local fares and a swell introduction to the kind of food that the nation claims.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">After lunch we had some planning for later in the week along with some free & personal time until evening church. The church service was primarily a prayer time where 30 or so people greeted one another, did some praying then separated into smaller groups and prayed together. Each group had a mix of locals and team members. As much as I enjoyed the praise time at the chapel earlier in the day, I think that the prayer time was the best part. It went longer then stated but was totally worth it and it was my first indication of how the locals would respond to me. It was said to me that they are a conservative people but that didn’t do justice to their response to me. After the prayer time concluded, several of them approached me seeking a picture. I didn’t know it at the time, but that would be a regular thing during the two weeks abroad.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">From there we walked back to the dining room for dinner. It was a second straight meal that I would simply describe as highly enjoyable. Not long after though I retired to my mattress. Sleep didn’t delay for the second night, hopefully I’m able to sleep this easily during the rest of the trip!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Day 3</u></b></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">On our second day at the compound myself and half the group spent the morning working with second and fifth graders in English classes. We went between four different classrooms over the span of a few hours. Each of the four classes had it’s own flavor, some being more enjoyable then others. My favorite was the first of the fifth grade classes. A group of four boys crowded me and we spent a half hour or more communicating as best we could, eventually practicing certain words from a dictionary that had some pictures in it. Nothing earth shattering but gotta crawl before being able to walk.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Before spending some time sitting in on the other half of the groups work with the kids, we had free time - quiet time. That’s how the remainder of the morning went. After lunch there was a brief meeting, followed by another brief time unscheduled.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Then came the work.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">While several members of the team went on a supply run the rest of us busted out tarps, rakes and elbow grease for some yard work. The ladies who didn’t go shopping did most of the raking while the guys did the “heavy” labor, picking up all the brush and branch, loading them onto a trailer before pulling it over to the prescribed pile location. 2.5 - 3 hrs later the courtyard area would make proud all but the most finicky of yard work people.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Once all the activities were complete we had dinner. Hamburgers with a fried egg and ice cream cake made for a great follow up to the manual labor. That was followed by another meeting time and prayer. With that, another day came to it’s conclusion.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Day 4</u></b></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The day started out like the earlier ones had - early breakfast, meeting and then down to the school. Took longer to wake up this morning but the jumping and dancing shook the cobwebs out real quick. That consumed the morning with the same break for quiet time being the lone exception.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">After lunch we went to work preparing for the one part of the trip that was told to be happening in advance - the boat ministry. From organizing meds to checking & packing a pair of tents, the area and each one of us was busy at work, buzzing around to get everything ready. Once everything was as ready as it was going to get we got another semi - American meal: Pizza. Not any kind of pizza that would pass in the USA but the crust was edible, even if the toppings were substandard to even the lowest of standards.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Shortly after that we headed for the bus station. Once there, I had a little bit of rookie moment but nothing came of it so I moved on quickly. All our gear was tagged and loaded onto the bus before taking the stairs to the second level. It wasn’t long before I fell asleep and that ate around 85% of the road time. We got to Antequera around 3 am and quickly separated to our quarters. The guys to a house and the gals to their dorm rooms on the grounds of the mission. Not to rub it in their faces, but the guys definitely got the better end of it! The only way our location could have been better would be if we didn’t have to walk the few blocks to meet up with the rest of the team.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">So phase 1 is officially done. Now onto the work that I and we came here to do!</span></div>

</h3>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Day 5</span></u></b><br />
After another late night we were again given a later start to the day. It forced an extra amount of urgency to the days goings on and also noticeably condensed the meal schedule. After breakfast we worked on our docket of skits. That went until just past noon, at which time many in the group walked to the super market. The time between when they left and got back was utilized by those of us who didn’t go along to do various things around the compound. Right around the time they got back several of us got the itch to go exploring ourselves but we just missed the window to escape.<br />
Lunch was a delicious and hearty beef stew that sustained me through the rest of the day.<br />
A day that was invested in the local pastors church. After we walked to the church we divided into 3 groups, then we went through the nearby neighborhoods inviting the kids and families to the church. The area we were in, along with the kids in it, was like something you’d see in one of those adoption or sponsorship commercials. But we rounded up as many people as would come and did our own version of the pied piper to the church.<br />
After each group had returned we ushered them into the church for our little program. I’d estimate that there were around 40 kids in and around the church, plus some of their parents so it got a little cozy! There was one young girl that stuck to me from all the rest. She was maybe three years old but from the time she saw me while doing the inviting she followed along and then back at the church she came right over to sit by me. She was just very sweet and beautiful, the only one I’ve seen yet that I wish I could take home.<br />
The skits went off without any major hiccups and the kids were loving it. There are several different examples of Gospel truth in them, but they are meant as much to be funny as they are to be preachy. After the words and the laughs came the action to support them. Myself and the other guys mostly just played with the boys while a couple local men gave them haircuts.<br />
The ladies on the other hand had their hands full. They were doing some serious work with the locals to improve their hygiene status. There was one group that focused on their nails, as a way to lift their spirits. The other two groups were focused on reducing the lice problem that many of them were found to have.<br />
That went on for a few hours at which time myself, Josh and Michel went back to the mission to start dinner preparation. After a lot of the prep work happened it was remember that there was a church service that night. So the guys hustled to the house to change and the ladies finished the food. We ate and then made the 15 minute walk back to the church.<br />
Even though most of it was in Spanish the worship time was great! The music was lively and somewhat familiar. At one point the majority of those present joined together to pray over the kids. The pastor gave a simple message, but filled with truth. From there we walked back to the compound, got a little bit of pertinent information and soon all retired to our various quarters for the night.<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Day 6</u></b></span><br />
What. A. Day!<br />
It started out typically. Everything after the start was atypical from the rest of the trip to that point. It was finally time to get on the water and see remote place, along with whatever else could be seen in the water or on the shore from the boat. Our maiden voyage took us 2 hours away.<br />
They’re called villages but where we ended up was a row of houses between a single road and the river. Not what I was imagining but I knew there would be the unexpected on this trip and that was just one example of it. But I’m getting ahead of myself.<br />
After boarding the boat we went into our quiet times. The prescribed reading for the team is John but I was inclined to read about the rebuilding of Jerusalem as recounted in Nehemiah. It struck a perfect cord with me. So truly perfect that I can’t even take credit for the idea. Thank you Jesus!<br />
In Nehemiah the goal of the people assembled in Jerusalem was to rebuild the walls of the city so that they could rebuild the rest of it. I was unfamiliar with Paraguay’s history, as are many that I’ve spoken with so based on that let me give a brief history. Around 150 years ago the ruler of Paraguay thought it would be wise to attack Brazil, Argentina & Uruguay. They suffered mass casualties which is still reverberating to this day. Part of the consequence of it is that the role of men in the society is almost non - existent. Another part of it is that it has left many of the people with a deep sense of hopelessness. So while we won’t be doing even the smallest of construction projects during this trip we are doing something greater - rebuilding the people. A smile, a high five, a hug and the simple games or hygiene procedures that are taking place is like the mud being laid down to secure a brick in the rebuild. That may not seem like much of an outcome but I consider it an honor to be involved in the work.<br />
So now I had my theme for the trip. It didn’t hurt that reading the entire book of Nehemiah took up most of the boat ride either! What time there was between the final words of the book and arrival at our docking I spent enjoying the sights of the river, with my iPod serving up the soundtrack.<br />
Once on shore we walked that dirt road, inviting all who could come while the meds checked those who wouldn’t be able to make the walk. Shortly after finishing that we played with the kids who made their way to the meeting place immediately, until lunch was ready. After eating lunch the work was started. The question I had in the lead up to the trip and through the first several days was how I would contribute during the apex of the trip.<br />
I had already sampled the answer but was privy to the fact that I had sampled it until we worked the first village. I got to play the role of entertainer and not even to the level that American kids require so it made the experience all the sweeter. Simply tossing the football around and doing penalty kicks with them kept them occupied for hours while the predetermined work again took place. In the brief off times I walked around and took pictures of the goings on.<br />
With mere minutes left to go before riding the river again, one of the men called out to me. That had already become a bit old hat for me during the days down south but after an initial reaction to keep walking, I stopped and let the man come over. There was a two language gap between me & this man but the Spanish translator could piece together enough to know that the man should speak with the pastor. It didn’t take long before the pastor was in full exhortation mode on this guy. Days later we found out some of the details of what was going on, to put it simply, the man wanted to change his life. I never would have thought that looking the way I do would be the instrument of someone’s repentance but God is that great.<br />
After everyone and everything was gathered up we re boarded the boat. Rumor had it that we may be able to steer the boat so before long I went to check the validity of it. After getting into the wider part of the river Benidez let me take the helm for a photo which turned into 25 minutes which ended up being over an hours time at the wheel. It was another highlight in a day that had already had a few but as the sun sank low and night took it’s place it got to be more then just a gimmick. Being able to tell the difference between water and land in pitch dark took all my attention but the increasing weightiness of my arms made it all the tougher. We never sniffed any potential collisions but a few minutes before the dock I was able to give the seat back to someone who knew where they were going and how to finish the process.<br />
There were still some formalities to finish the day but with a full heart and tired body I did them as quick as possible so as to crawl into my sleeping bag again. When the time came for it, I just hoped that tomorrow could hold a candle to the days activities but deep down I knew that my pinnacle had been reached. Which meant that I would have to be all the most intentional about the remaining days so as to not miss or waste any opportunities. But that was all hypothetical, albeit important, as I eventually drifted off into the dreamland.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u> Day 7</u></b></span><br />
The question that I had as I fell asleep was the same question on my mind as I awoke. How does the best day of the trip, so far and possibly overall, get followed up?<br />
That wasn’t the only thing to carry over from night to morning. After talking through the day I started to feel stomach ill and it persisted into the new day. It wasn’t anything that some Tums didn’t knock out but I’m starting to get a little tired of feeling less then 100.<br />
As for the days schedule, we were told that the distance to the next village was only about 30 minutes by boat. In other words, going both ways would take less then half as long as it took just to go to the first village. That may have done just as much to calm my stomach as the tablets but enough about that.<br />
The possibility of getting back before the sun went down and having several hours to see the town seems to have had a positive effect on everybody. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who feels at least a little caged up! But first we had to complete our purpose so we gathered our gear and boarded the boat again.<br />
The place where we were let off the boat this time was much closer to the hosts house then it had been yesterday. After dropping all our stuff at the hosts we walked the road to five different houses nearby to invite the locals while others further down were invited by the tele. The one family that stuck out to me from this lot was that of a married couple who adopted a pair of twins that they were related to, who had been orphaned when their mother died giving birth. Another sad example of men not stepping up but in contrast the husband and wife did which will likely be best for those kids in the long run.<br />
After getting back to the host house we set up the few things that needed to be and then began playing some games to draw the kids in who walked or biked past. Entertaining and interacting with the youths was a tiring and enjoyable but more then that, the thing I took away from today’s outing was a couple customs of the country that I partook in. The first being a custom of drinking fruit as opposed to eating it. The locals would take a fruit, in today’s case Grapefruit, peel the tough skin off, cut a cone out the top, pierce the insides and drink it. Partly due to the smaller number of people who came and partly due to the fact that I was hoping to experience some new things in this culture, when I was offered one I partook. The fruit itself was better then ours are but even if they had tasted the same, doing something in a different way was good. In a way, it was an insignificant representation of how these trips can matter a great deal.<br />
Thus we spent a few hours there. Due to the lesser numbers, the meds were able to put in more time and attention on each person who showed. Whether it was to treat a specific need or to educate about self care they made the most of a situation that an outsider, just looking at it, may have considered a failure. It wasn’t and making sure it wasn’t was an important realization for me later.<br />
For the second time in as many days, just before we left there was a surprise in store. Not nearly as exciting as a man coming to Jesus but it did allow me to check my “eat weird stuff box” on my mental to do list. Our own Most Interesting Man in the World walked over to a grill and after calling myself and a few of the others over showed us what had been on the menu, at some point in the recent past. It was cooked Capybara. For those who have never heard of that, it’s one of the worlds largest rodents. The thing had been WELL cooked and clearly eaten on but there was still some meat on those bones so when the offer was made to try some I didn’t hesitate…too much.<br />
It tasted like burned pork so not the worst favor I’ve ever experienced but I didn’t expect to eat rodent so it was another twist on this adventure of mine.<br />
A few minutes after that we departed for Antequera. Once back on shore the remainder of the day was used to do more prep for the overnight that we were going on next. But beyond that the day was free for us to explore the town and have some unscheduled fun, seemingly the first of the kind for the group. We walked by the river for a while then went to a store a few blocks away before returning to do some personal quiet times.<br />
Each day has had it’s own flavor and this one was no different. From the beginning to the end it seemed like it was for our personal refreshing. God knows what we need and I’m glad for the day we had but in my personal inventory I wouldn’t have come to the conclusion that it was absolutely needed. Maybe that’s the best time for refreshing to happen, before it’s desperately needed! As a result of that I will thank God and do my best to turn my attention to what comes next!<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u> Day 8</u></b></span><br />
Talk about flipping the script. After yesterday’s short ride came the longest of the 3, a possible 5 hours one way. Uff’da. Added to the extra time were several more people and quite a bit more gear. I for one wasn’t looking forward to the tight quarters that it was certain to be but once everything and everyone was aboard we made it work.<br />
It took closer to three hours then five to get to the village and people seemed to instinctively coordinate to not get too much into each others personal space. Due to the earlier then anticipated arrival at the village the first thing we did was walk about. Of the three, this was the only one that matched what I think of a village as being. I tried to get what pictures I could of it but my camera powering issues finally happened at the most inopportune of time so it’s pretty limited. It never bothered me as much as I would have guessed and once I came to terms with it I was kind of glad because it was one less distraction.<br />
The kids were more tentative then most of the others that we’ve encountered thus far but they still enjoyed kicking and throwing balls around. Doing some of the skits may have helped with that as well. I mean who knows if they’ve ever even seen a white person before, much less a group of 12 of them that don’t speak their language!<br />
After playing and performing we had to break in order to set up all the tents before the sun vamoosed. It may be a Southern Hemisphere thing but I still haven’t adjusted to the light schedule. The sun rises at about the same time here as it does back home but sets a full four hours earlier, if not even earlier then that. It more then anything has continued to throw off my mental clock every day.<br />
Last night was no exception, I could have gone to sleep at like 6 pm without any doubt but dinner kept me awake. Not the food itself but everyone coming back on the boat to eat meant I couldn't crawl into my sleeping bag for the night so I ate and then found some second energy. It also didn’t hurt that there was a fire going on the shore that I had take charge of maintaining.<br />
We had found some seat worthy logs and arranged them in a half circle facing out over the river. It’s one of the better mental images that I’ve got from this trip. But the fire and the water weren’t the only things that night. Being as it was the fourth of July we were surprised with some fireworks - yet another reason to stay awake. It made for a special evening which eventually gave way to talk of many sorts of things. I wasn’t interested in engaging in the topics but instead spent the time wandering the immediate area, admiring & trying to figure out the constellations, and praying. So instead of 6 pm I finally bedded down on the boat around 10 while the others all self determined their need for sleep. I wasn’t sure how the boat would be for sleeping in but it was better then I would have guessed.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u> Day 9</u></b></span><br />
The night of sleep on the boat was short but sufficient for the day’s activities. I was the first member of the team to wake up and get up but several of our local coworkers were up well before me. Because I didn’t know what time it was or how long people would sleep for I decided to go up by the fire area and see if anything was left burning.<br />
I found a single hot coal which excited the boy scout side of me so I quickly gathered some dry bark, leaves, twigs and branches to get it started again. Within a few minutes the crackle of fire could be heard and not long after that several local children came to sit by the fire. Not being able to speak a word to each other yet having something as basic as fire in common was a strange dynamic.<br />
And there I was for a length of time I’ll never know but until breakfast was served, even though I barely ate any of it. For today, there were some new things introduced because of all the extra hours. The most notable was a half hour skit that highlight many different stories from Genesis through Jesus. With the translation into Spanish and then into the native language everything takes longer so certain parts were excluded on the fly.<br />
After that a few of us stayed up on the hill and talked or played volleyball. The rest of the team was down on the beach doing more hygiene work. It was a quick morning but not without purpose and benefit but then we departed for Antequera.<br />
The return journey took all afternoon and it was nearly dark by the time we were docked. Everyone then lined up to completely empty the boat of it’s contents. Then once everything had gone up the chain and was sitting by the road in front of the mission we grabbed our various belongings and took them inside the fences or for the locals, took them back to their residence’s.<br />
Even though it was dark by the time it was all done most of us decided to use the evening to again explore some other parts of the town. Word had it that there was an ice cream shop not far away so that was the first stop but we walked several blocks that we hadn’t yet seen. From the time we returned to the mission until the time that I slid into my sleeping bag, everything was intentionally low key.<br />
I continued to reflect on the theme from Nehemiah of rebuilding. I don’t know how to apply it to life back home but if and when it’s a necessary theme for me back in the 58103 and beyond I’ll know it.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u> Day 10</u></b></span><br />
On our last full day out we made some surprising in roads for the immediate future. First on the day’s agenda was another mini VBS for another neighborhood in town. It’s astounding how much they appreciate such basic hygiene practices or playing football with a defective ball. It’s really putting into perspective how different much of the world is from the cushy US. I’ve seen this level of poverty before yet it continues to sink in.<br />
In the hours after we mostly hung around at the mission before having a unique opportunity. Between the guy’s house and the mission there is a surprisingly nice high school. Through our local contacts we were able to hold chapel there. We tuned some of the details of it to an older audience but I wasn’t sure how well it would go over. It turned out to have just as much reach to these teens as it has had with so many of the youngsters.<br />
Once we were through we spent between 30 & 60 minutes out on the courtyard. Some people talked, others arm wrestled or did some handball shots before a challenge was made to play the game between students and team members. It’s sort of like ultimate frisbee with a small basketball and the goal is to put it into the soccer net. And all the while many of the students were walking around with their phones and asking to take photos with basically everybody on the team. I thought it to myself and others expressed it as well; we felt like rock stars but it created a conflict within me since that’s not why we were there.<br />
From there we walked back to the mission for dinner. I’ve never been a fan of chicken & rice soup when offered it back home but the mere fact that it looked like chicken noodle was enough for me to fill my bowl and leave nothing but air in the bowl once I was done.<br />
Not long after that we all took another walk, this time to a park. Near the end of our chapel we extended an invitation to all the students to come get together that evening. With no guarantee that anyone would show up we went anyway. A few locals wandered over after we had been there for a while but it was mostly just us entertaining ourselves. A few of our local partners brought a speaker, mic & computer which they used to do Christian karaoke. I spent most of the time there just listening to them sing while trying to figure out if I knew the song and could sing along in English. Cross linguistic singing ain’t no joke, is the conclusion I came to after a couple songs! Beyond the walks back to the mission and house nothing much else went on today, save for a hinting at something possibly opening up for us to do tomorrow.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Day 11</u></b></span><br />
Friday started with a slight variation to the routine. Unlike most of the preceding days, it started with quiet time at 7 then breakfast. The change because of a meeting with the high school’s leadership to start the day discussing a return to interact with the crew of morning students.<br />
The students that we had engaged with before had been hyping it to the rest of the student body to the point that the faculty wanted to let us return. The problem was that it was the last day of their term and it was deemed to be unwise to wedge it into the schedule. But that’s where the surprise comes in.<br />
The positivity that had been generated was enough where the team which will be coming down next month has been invited to have an assembly of their own. Speaking as an American where Christ is as stamped down as possible in the public square, to not only allow but to invite it in to a school was exciting news.<br />
But the fact that it was taken out of the tentative schedule rearranged the plan. So shortly after we collected ourselves and headed to the far end of town. Today’s location was in a tree covered cul-de-sac, or at least that’s the closest example to it I can think of. We walked back out and went three different directions to do the round up. My group ended up without a translator, yeah not ideal, so we just let the locals who were with us do the inviting while we mostly just looked on.<br />
There was one house in particular that stood out to me. From what I saw there were 4 different generations living on a single property with two buildings. Not counting the several animals that were there, I saw well over a dozen people there. It wasn’t the first multi-generational home that I saw but it was the most populous one.<br />
Approximately a half hour later we were back at the grove with the rest of the team and three dozen or so of the areas residents. The kids started playing duck, duck, goose; soccer or football. It was a hot day and I was low on water so I tried to stay in the shade of the trees but couldn’t help but step out into the open, aka the sun, to toss it around.<br />
It was a closer call then I would have liked to put myself in but I able to get back to the mission without any incident. After another lunch where I didn’t eat too much we all went back to the house to shower, pack, clean and rest before taking everything to the mission. Once there all that was left for us before the latest late night bus ride was dinner and goodbyes.<br />
They made enough fried egg burgers for each of us to have three and followed them up with two 5 gallon pales of ice cream. The borderline gluttony was followed up with deep cleaning of the whole place then around 8 pm everyone there grabbed baggage and we walked to the bus stop. Once there we waited close to 45 minutes for the bus to show up. Several of those present were of the long goodbye variety so I’m not sure if they were satiated but they had plenty of time to bid adios. When the bus finally arrived we loaded and boarded. I don’t love these bus trips but the seats on each them have been more comfortable then any that I’ve experienced before which helps a lot!<br />
The ride from Asuncion had been uneventful so I thought the return may be likewise, but not so fast.<br />
Something like 3/4/5 hrs into the ride I awoke & realized that not only had the top level of the bus filled up, it had gone beyond it’s seating capacity. To complicate it, those who were left in the aisle had congregated closely to where several females were seated. The next thing I noticed was that those guys were inebriated. Milliseconds later I knew that my time sleeping on the bus was over. Every ounce of my focus then turned to watching their move and being ready for certain possibilities. The next morning we were told that they were speaking amongst themselves that the bearded guy was watching them closely. I have no doubt that they were referring to me and I’m glad they realized it. Any time they looked at me I would force myself to not even blink. It may seem extreme but if I could help it I wasn’t going to just let something happen. When it was through nothing had actually happened, though one of them did get a little too comfortable with where he was sitting and how he could behave. A sharp warning was all it took to cut that off.<br />
We got back to the compound around 3 am. I’m hoping that was the last short night of the trip but am honestly not optimistic about it.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-27699068829440748692017-07-20T13:41:00.000-05:002017-07-20T13:56:01.117-05:00Paraguay Phase 3<div style="line-height: normal;">

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Day 12</u></b></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The thread of unpredictability continued into the next morning, but of a distinctly positive note. We were given until 9:30 to start the day and then got a special breakfast. Up to this point breakfast has consistently been bread and food, I expected more of the same but when I walked into the dining area there was a platter of pancakes, with more on the way. I’d been wondering when my appetite would return to form and that was all it took. I inhaled an exorbitant number of cakes and was full for the first time since leaving Minneapolis. That’s not to say that I haven’t liked the food, there have been many meals that I’ve enjoyed, just not breakfasts - which is my favorite of the three meals.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">But peaking at 10 am isn’t exactly desirable so I was left wondering whether the rest of the day would be as good as the first of it. It would take all day to get my answer but it was a definite yes.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The next part of the day was a mini tour of Asuncion. We were driven to a beach near the capital from whence we walked. We walked by & around several government buildings and saw a tragic monument to one of Paraguay’s former rulers. As we walked I & we prayed for the nations leadership, past & future.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">After that was concluded we went to a “nice” quick eat restaurant. Nice was the word spoken to us about it but it was like a poor man’s chipotle, for Empanadas. I ate a little of the offering but several others felt sick later in the day so I was glad that I didn’t eat much and disappointed that it was worse then I initially thought.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Once back behind the compound walls we had some down time before sitting in with the host churches youth group. The attendance was sparse, in part because an unspecified number of them had gone to Antequera for the weekend. What we do, the skits and such, have gotten routine so we used this chance to switch them up some. Unfortunately the Americans were the ones who enjoyed the changes more then the locals.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">After that was through we went back into the city to see another important monument. A war memorial that’s as sad as many that I’ve seen over the years. It ties back into the history of the nation and also into some of the current issues in the nation. I have it in pictures but to put it simply, a mother is sending her son of to war while a dead man lies behind them. It’s a tribute to that 3 nations war where so many of the men died, at which point they sent boys in to fight and die as well, leaving the woman in charge. Yet another sad part of the past that they celebrate, I wonder how long it will be before America is this backwards? After hearing the story we spent 10 minutes walking the area and praying about it.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">A short distance away there was a congregation of food trucks. It was determined that some middle Eastern trucks were the most safe to eat from so we put in our orders, talked & ate. For the second time that day I had a food in front of me that I couldn’t help but eat and eat again. The closest description I can make to it is as a super taco but with a flat bread wrap instead of a tortilla. I knew I’d experience some new foods on this trip but Middle Eastern food wasn’t what I expected. Hopefully Fargo gets something that good in the near future!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Day 13</u></b></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Sunday started earlier then I would have chosen but it was a case of a matter being beyond my control. The church service was at 8 so in accordance the start of the day was moved up. It was a soft start time and nothing much happened for the first 15 minutes or so. When it did start the first quarter of the time was spent in praying for different needs. After the prayers had been offered, the praise time began. Singing in a mix of Spanish and English made for a uniquely special cacophony. Then came the most unexpected part of it, the pastor asked all visitors to stand and introduce themselves. The final hour of it was “normal,” we did a skit and then a message was proclaimed.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">From after church til the early afternoon we were given the latitude to choose what we did, within the confines of the compound. The free time was a direct result of the fact that we were being fed a special meal which required extra preparation time. Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m a fan of cooked meats (to put it lightly). I’d never had the pleasure of sampling meats made in Brazilian grill fashion, until now. Ribs, Chicken & Steak cooked so impeccably that I dare say I’ve never had anything like it before.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">After taking a time for my stomach to adjust to the contents there appeared two more over sized tubs of ice cream. It was at that moment that I knew that any weight I’d lost was coming back in ferocious fashion but the food was too good to refuse!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Not long after we had all gotten our fill of food came time for us to do the last outreach. It was a 10 minute drive and we didn’t even have to go out to invite people. We simply rolled up and did our shtick. I tried to stay as locked in as usual but it seemed like there was a lessened focus with everyone just being ready to be done with the skits and stuff. We also only committed a few minutes to playing with the kids. During some of the other outreaches both the soccer & football had been given to locals so our options were that much more limited but we did what we could for the length of time we had.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">When we went back to the compound we all spent time getting ready for the last bus ride of the trip. We were going across the country to where Paraguay, Brazil & Argentina basically all meet. It was another overnight ride but word had it that the stuff we were going to be doing would be worth the repeat experience. I can now say that those who made those remarks were 100% right.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">So about 10 pm we headed to the bus station for a midnight ride. After finding my seat I initially thought I may luck out and get my own area, at least for a while but before too long my optimism was squelched. An extremely portly guy got on, sat down and took my optimism & flipped it as far the other way as he could. Thus I spent the night battling just to have enough space to sleep. So much for the bus ride back to Asuncion being my last short night.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">So sometime just past dawn we arrived at the town bordering Brazil on the Paraguay side. Ciudad del Este in Paraguay and Foz de Iguacu in Brazil. We made haste to a hotel for breakfast, as much haste as we could manage with bus exchanges and having to walk while figuring out where we were. With consideration of the Pancakes from a couple days earlier I was really hoping for waffles but knew it was a long shot.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">There wasn’t that but there was an extensive number of other options. A small bowl of cereal made up for it more then I ever would have guessed and being as we were in Coffee Bean country I self compelled to taste some of the fair. In addition to the fare, we used the facilities to clean up a little bit before departing for the waterfalls.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I’d been to Niagara about 10 years ago and these put it to shame. Just check my photos & videos if you don’t believe me. I can’t do the slightest bit of justice to how magnificent they were so I’ll just leave it to the capturings that I was able to manage.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">After returning from the park we went to a second Brazilian grille in as many days. Not personally prepared as the first had been but also of a much broader, deeper and denser variety. In addition to the constant rotation of meat on screwers there were also very diverse salad and dessert bars. I got my fill and then some but walked away with two items as my favorites grilled Pineapple & the Spaghetti. For very different reasons but each were fantastic, but everything that I bite into was so hopefully the Twin Cities grilles could stand in a similar fashion!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Once each & everyone had gotten their fill and then some we departed for a shop from which different Brazilian specific items could be acquired, by any on the team who wanted such things. Having drank the coffee earlier in the day I was tempted to snatch some up but I wasn’t there to be in Brazil so opted to look on while others did business. After that was complete we made our way back to the bus station and started the journey back to the capital. It didn’t take long once on board to fall asleep nor to sleep through at least 90% of it. I didn’t know it at the time but getting those extra hours of Z’s was extremely valuable!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Day 15</u></b></span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Now as quickly as it had all come together and has taken place, it’s coming to an end. Not just the trip but my involvement with Bethany. It’s been such a drawn out process that I wasn’t sure it would ever be concluded but now it is.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I woke on closing day and sauntered over to the dining area for a last breakfast. We spent the whole morning talking through some procedural items and different things that were still pertinent. There were some helpful nuggets but it was mostly a formality.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">From there we made a last fun run into the city, which started out with a tour of a hospital that I would never describe as fun. It was an education on the problems that can arise from public healthcare. For example, procedures happen at the rate of government which as you can imagine isn’t conducive for taking care of medical issues. One of the people we were working with had spent 8 years living and working in Para. During that time she had to go through the medical system to discover if she had had a brain aneurysm. It took 2 months for her to get a scan to figure it out. So who knows how many people have died unnecessarily because of the speed. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">They did have an ER for rapid needs, it resembled what I would imagine a field hospital would look like in a war zone. People getting treated all over the place. I would not want to be there during a large scale emergency event.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">As we walked the facility we were told that patients were required to provide many procedure necessary parts. Stuff like saline, bedding, gauze, etc. would need to be self provided. Along the same lines, non medical practices (such as sponge bathes or use of a bed pan) had to be provided by family or friends.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">It all made the physical conditions of the building pale in comparison, kind of. Windows through out the facility were broken. Full garbage bags were used to prop open doors. And last but not least by any measure, Black Mold was clearly growing in the ceiling and on the walls. It was disgusting. So while I would never use it as a way to excuse the way that America’s healthcare system is broken, it provided a look into the polar opposite way for things to be crippled.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">We then took a short drive to a super market with a dining area for lunch after which we did the last of our tourist activities. We went to a market in the heart of the city. It was made up of a few dozen small shoppes with their various wares. The visit gave me another chance to flex my bartering skills. I recognized that as an American, bringing a half years worth of money along with me didn’t even make me flinch so I wasn’t looking to low ball them but just to reduce some of the American tax that gets added to private sales abroad. After everyone had spent their Guarani’s on the items that caught their eyes we walked back to the vehicles for the last return drive to the compound.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The next few hours were spent packing and cleaning before the long day of flying would commence.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">We arrived at the airport well ahead of our red eye to Panama City. During the wait I began the task of catching up on emails and social media. Simultaneously, a couple of the ladies finally braided all my hairs. From almost the first day of the trip & several times during it, I had been asked whether I wanted it to happen. But willingness & opportunity don’t always run parallel so it took til the end of the trip to make it happen. So the time at the airport went quickly & before I knew it, time came to board for the north. Thus came to an end our time in Paraguay & South America.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">A long day of traveling is putting it lightly. We arrived at the airport at 10 pm and the flight took off at close to 1 am. Flying in the deepest of dark night, I thought I may be able to sleep for most of it. I may have cracked 50% of the flight which would technically be most of it but awake time goes a lot slower so 49% wouldn’t be much of a consolation. Anything over 25% wouldn’t be much of a consolation. I awoke for breakfast. The most low quality pancakes I can imagine ever being made and worse then I would ever normally consume yet I tried to use them as first fuel for the day, it didn’t work.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Once in Panama we went to the gate printed on our second tickets, whether that was the right one or not. After piling the baggage in a consolidated area everyone laid out to try and sleep for as much of the 6 hr layover as they could. I opted to first continue my work of purging my inboxes and accounts. By the time I put a bigger dent in it everyone else was asleep so I became responsible for watching the area until the others were rested enough. Caged again. Can’t wait to be able to walk around again without an escort!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">After an hour or more the area started to fill so I consolidated the baggage further. A brief distraction but it also made it easier to watch everyone and everything.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">As the others got up and began to move about I took every opportunity to walk. Whether it was to the bathroom, to get coffee or snacks, or all the way across the airport, I was in. Thus the 6 hours crawled by.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Before we would be allowed to start the boarding process we had to exit the area and got through a watered down version of TSA screening.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">After the failed attempt to eat on the first flight I decided to take a different approach on the flight to Miami. Of the six planes that I was on during this trip, the fifth was the nicest. That was instrumental in getting through the flight. I first decided not to eat and then had the luxury to choose my in flight entertainment. It was technically successful but I was still ready to be done with planes for a while!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">After de-boarding we went through another flawed set of security check points. The first security check didn’t even look at my paperwork before letting me go through because he combined us into a group to extradite the process. Then while walking to the baggage claim I was “randomly” stopped by another TSA employee. He grilled me pretty good but must been satisfied with my answers cause he let me walk. I made no secret of the fact that I enjoyed both parts of the questioning.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">We made our way to the ticketing areas before saying some goodbyes and heading to our various gates. That’s when things got real frustrating.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">After getting through the security check point I found my way to the gate from where I was supposed to depart. The options for dining were scarce in that part of the airport and I had a few hours to occupy so I decided to go for a walk. I ended up going about a mile before returning to the gate to eat the first food off my to do list. Something like a half hour later I was called to the desk and told that I might not be able to fly out due to a “weight restriction.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">That was after the flight delays had begun because of a lightning storm. Not long after that it was announced that our plane had been diverted to a different gate, back by where I had walked to for dinner. The fact that I could have cut a lot of walking out of my evening with a better information system only turned my crank further then the delays had to that point. It wasn’t as though I was the only one scuffling through it so I swallowed my frustration and made my way to the new gate. Shortly after getting there we were told that the delay would be indefinite because of the continued lightning but not to go too far away.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I took that into account but had been cooped up for 2 weeks and change so I decided to get my walking in. I did four full circles of the wing of the concourse that the gate was at the end of before settling into a chair. It didn’t take long for me to nod off in the chair. Some time later I became aware of a pertinent announcement that the Minneapolis flight was boarding. So I went to the desk, got my seat assignment(!) and went through the boarding dock. I had the far back seat.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Sitting behind a bunch of kids on their way to a soccer tournament and the wings of the plane had me thinking that sleep may once again be tough to come by but I was full wrong. My next memory after take off is of the lights from Minneapolis - St. Paul.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Everyone got off quickly and I followed them all. The airport was deserted but as I walked to the baggage claim I saw the point from which I had departed some 17 days earlier. I traveled something like 12,000 miles over that time. Saw things that I’ll likely never see again. Made a full circle from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern and back again. Was able to make some small measure of impact in the lives of people of Paraguay. Put one brick into the wall of the rebuild. Finished the Bethany College chapter. At the moment of the circle being completed all those thoughts and even more flooded my mind. How this trip will reverberate through the next 5, 10 or 20 years of my life will be great to figure out. For now though, I’m left with thankfulness for what I was able to see and do.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Thankfulness to God for bringing me through so many things that I never thought would happen. Thankfulness for the family and friends that I have who helped get me to this point.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Thankfulness for so many other things that I don’t even know how to express.</span></div>

<br />
I'm writing to you today from the Miami International Airport. The possibilities for communication once I get on the airplane in 2 hours are a firm unknown but I wanted to take this opportunity to get some words out there.<br />
<br />
I'm guessing that if you're reading this, you're also one of the people that has supported my long journey to this point. For that I thank you! If you have supported me financially then I would ask you to also pray for us. I've been with the team for less then 12 hours but it's gone smoothly to this point and I want it to continue to be that way. So pray for us, please!<br />
<br />
There isn't a lot to say about the trip yet, because it's barely begun. Late in the flight last night I got a sudden onset nausea which I hope doesn't reoccur during either of the legs of today's flight. Once I landed I hoofed it to the baggage claim area and even though I wasn't the first off the plane, I was one of the first to the area and fortunately had one of the first bags onto the conveyor, after a long wait for the bags to come.<br />
<br />
When I got to the hotel we had a meeting. Just kind of an ice breaker and important information time. After that, the 12 of us dispersed to our various hotel rooms. I was with the two other guys. I thought I might be getting the better end of it because the other two are friends and crashed in the other bed, leaving me the other. But one of the guys was a snorer the likes of which I can't remember ever hearing so sleep didn't last long after it came. So I'm starting to feel the drag a little bit but flying is pretty non taxing so I'll be fine for today. Hopefully tonight's rest is a little more fruitful.<br />
<br />
It's still early but things have come together as well I thought they might - maybe even better. I'm not sure I can make the determination right now but maybe with a fresher mind I could say so.<br />
<br />
In any case, I hope that I'll have at least a couple chances to share about the trip while still down South but if not, I'd just ask once again to think of us and pray for us. For health. For safety. For unity. Anything that the Lord brings to your mind!<br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />
<br />

It wasn't overly smooth or turbulent but it was about transition nonetheless. Not unlike the space between one step on a staircase and the next. 365 days is a quite a bit of time for one step to be taken but I certainly wouldn't be the first to have an extended time between steps.<br />
Last year I had a few different jobs that I found myself doing. My predominantly, & the main reason why I've been so long between posts on here, is that I started an actual website about sports in the great Fargo-Moorhead area and I've devoted myself to that pursuit. For most of 2016 I was just trying to get my bearings with my approach and my focuses. Now it's starting to show some signs of taking off and I've worked out many of the kinks.<br />
But everything that's gone on has been in the aftermath of my college experience. Suffice it say that things have dragged out for much longer then I ever expected or would have wanted. There are things I've learned through the time that I wouldn't trade back but the headaches and open endedness of it sure do make that seem appealing sometimes. Live and learn though, as it were. I thought it may wrap up a couple years ago after I was able to travel and work in Turkey but every trip I've expressed interest in being a part of has gone the way of the toilet, until today that is.<br />
Which brings me to the main point. The catalyst for me thinking that 2017 will be about resolution is that there's finally a team going out that I'm able to be apart of. Things will have to happen at an accelerated speed because the rest of the team has already gotten done many of the requirements but they will be going on the mission and I've been approved to join them, so whatever hurdles I have to jump - I will.<br />
The plan is to go from Minneapolis to Miami to Paraguay in late June for a few weeks and return near the middle of July. The closest thing to a concern about the trip from my perspective is that I've recently started a job that I hope to do for a few years until the website has really taken off. Being new also means that informing them of the trip and that I'll be gone for those weeks is a little bit troubling. I've heard the summer is a slower time and there has already been evidences that it shouldn't be a problem but I hope that isn't!<br />
As far as I'm concerned it's past time for my Bethany chapter to be completed so even if things go the worst possible way I think I have to do this and I want to...which certainly helps.<br />
Getting to go to South America is it's an appealing piece of the puzzle. What's more, the work I'll be going will have tangible results both in the short term and for the people's future's. To be able to make both an immediate and a lasting difference is more of a motivator. The contingent of the team who's idea it was to go to Paraguay and some joiners of similar talent and knowledge will be the core of the group while I will be a support piece for their works. As I was told it, we'll be going by riverboat to different villages to primarily provide healthcare for the locals. A Paraguayan riverboat, I'm not sure I can even imagine what that will be like but isn't something I'd imagine will be more then a once in this lifetime opportunity.<br />
Bugs and their diseases are a concern but I'm not one of those anti-vaccine types so that'll help if not complete take that risk off the board. The types of areas we'll be entering will likely be safe, or they won't allow the team to go but going out from behind the high walls means there's always risk. I wouldn't have it any other way though. If there's one concern I have about the trip, it's the group dynamic. With the way I've operated my life, being thrust into a group of 10 or so English speakers in another country will be an adjustment, even with my prior international experience. The life I lead is good for me and I don't have any desire for it change too much, but I guess I'll leave it up the Big Guy to work out. I've been told that one of the other guys is a rabid sports fan, so if nothing else, that should help!<br />
Two months and I'll be on my way to the closure of my time at Bethany. It almost doesn't feel real and can't help but think that the rug will get pulled out from under me again but the fact that the team is 100% locked in to going does diminish my trepidation somewhat. Anyway, that's the deal, this wanderer gets to add another one to the list, and I'm already thanking God for it!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-15553799487705894422016-07-24T19:38:00.000-05:002016-07-24T19:38:04.766-05:00The one of who lives<div class="tr_bq">
While I was driving to church this morning I was floored by that fact.</div>
<br />
God is alive. Really alive.<br />
<br />
Alive and also present with us in all space. He hold's it all together<br />
<br />
Idolatry made it into the ten commandments but there is one story that I think of as an example of God's attitude toward idolatry.<br />

<br />1 Kings 18:20 - 40<div>
<br />The Prophets of Baal Defeated<br /><blockquote>
20 So Ahab sent to all the people of Israel and gathered the prophets together at Mount Carmel. 21 And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” And the people did not answer him a word. 22 Then Elijah said to the people, “I, even I only, am left a prophet of the Lord, but Baal's prophets are 450 men. 23 Let two bulls be given to us, and let them choose one bull for themselves and cut it in pieces and lay it on the wood, but put no fire to it. And I will prepare the other bull and lay it on the wood and put no fire to it. 24 And you call upon the name of your god, and I will call upon the name of the Lord, and the God who answers by fire, he is God.” And all the people answered, “It is well spoken.” 25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many, and call upon the name of your god, but put no fire to it.” 26 And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped around the altar that they had made. 27 And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.” 28 And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them. 29 And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of the offering of the oblation, but there was no voice. No one answered; no one paid attention.<br />30 Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that had been thrown down.31 Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying, “Israel shall be your name,”32 and with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord. And he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two seahs of seed. 33 And he put the wood in order and cut the bull in pieces and laid it on the wood. And he said, “Fill four jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.”34 And he said, “Do it a second time.” And they did it a second time. And he said, “Do it a third time.” And they did it a third time. 35 And the water ran around the altar and filled the trench also with water.<br />36 And at the time of the offering of the oblation, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word. 37 Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back.” 38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God.” 40 And Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape.” And they seized them. And Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there.</blockquote>
He was alive then and jealous for His people. We get caught up in the fact that God seems distant. We don't see what He's capable of in this way and people begin to worship the created. It's a pattern nearly as old as we are yet continues to happen.<br />
<br />
But he is the God who lives. The one with hatred of sin and jealousy for His people<br />
<br />
It's a simple point to make but nonetheless significant. As happened with Baal will happen again in days to come. Maybe not fire and water but God will show his dominion over all of creation. And when it happens those who side with the idols will have a similar fate as those prophets did.<br />
<br />
The I Am<br />
<br />
Yahweh<br />
<br />
Jesus<br />
<br />
The one, true and living God is alive and will show himself again. Now is the time of the drought, where the need for Him is hitting a pinnacle yet so many again refuse to turn to Him. It's a sad fact but like so many sad facts, the other side should inspire joy.<br />
<br />
We who know Him ought to live unashamed and with rejoicing for the fact that we are on the right side. That the one who we are committed to, is alive and is with us at this moment. </div>

The video's just under 17 minutes so I won't add too much on here, unless I think of some details that I forgot to mention in the vid.<br />
<br />
I can't stress enough how worth it going to DC for this was. With respect to everything that I missed through out the morning and afternoon, I don't think I actually missed anything. The day happened a certain way, with more things being out of my control then in it. I think I heard what I needed to hear on Saturday, so while I'm still bummed that I didn't get to hear from Louie Giglio or Francis Chan, they're just men and I will have other opportunities to learn from them before it's all said and done. I believe that what I needed to hear, is what I heard. So the fact that it was cut short, that I missed things in order to stay hydrated and because I had to go find a place to add some juice to my phone doesn't matter. I got out of it what I needed.<br />
<br />
That said, and just as an aside - I still fully intend to watch the video of the event to see and hear what else was shared by some of the most brilliant and talented minds in Christendom.<br />
<br />
So enough typing, I'll <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUR0S6k6fxc&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">post the video on Youtube</a>, same as before and I have some pictures that I'll throw on below the fold.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading and watching!<br />

<br />
More to come later but got one done for now.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I guess I had too much to say because it won't allow me to upload it directly on here because of the size but I threw it up on Youtube and it's all good.<br />
<br />
Here's the link: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud3akeqLyww&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud3akeqLyww&feature=youtu.be</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-51483127652774348382016-07-08T18:27:00.001-05:002016-07-08T18:27:29.912-05:00ResetViolence is nothing new. Regardless of worldview, history is packed with stories of violence. For Millenia the purpose was either to expand territories or defend those who wished to do so. That's an oversimplification but is also very true.<br />
<br />
Now people kill each other over race or disrespect or just because they want to.<br />
<br />
It's not new but even when it's justifiable, it's tragic.<br />
<br />
My heart goes out to all the families that lost people this week. The police officers in Dallas last night, the two young men in consecutive days prior to that and all the unknown people who have died tragically.<br />
<br />
Not that it was needed, as far as I'm concerned, but those events are all further evidence that the notion of safety is an illusion. Weapons can make a difference - positively and negatively, but they are not the solution or the problem. People will likely call for gun control and others will rail against the idea.<br />
<br />
I like my rights as they are described in the constitution but the freedom we have now is already limited so if those that the majority elect see fit to change things I will abide, though not happily.<br />
<br />
But I'm not here to talk about politics or current events, at least the ones that have happened already.<br />
<a name='more'></a>In less then six days I'll be boarding a bus bound for Washington DC. There's an event happening at the National Mall in support of the only thing that provides assurance and stability in these times - Jesus.<br />
<br />
It's not a protest or a debate but a rally. Christians coming together to stand as one. Kind of the way the Church is supposed to do all the time, but that's a topic for another day.<br />
<br />
I'll be boarding a bus and taking a 24 journey to the Capital. It's kind of a nightmare scenario for me. Being stuck in a very tight space for that long, both ways, with a bunch of people that I don't know is not my forte but it was an opportunity that I couldn't bring myself to pass up.<br />
<br />
You see, after I found out that I wouldn't need any time off to go overseas I jumped at the opportunity to go with. Hopefully I can just sleep on the bus and that it'll have wifi so that I can do some video blogging, amongst many other things. 48 hours on a bus to spend one night in DC. Some may say that's foolish, I think it'll be more worth it than I can possibly imagine!<br />
<br />
In honesty, ff I could change anything, I would have a gun to take with. But I don't have the extra scratch to afford one so I'll just trust in God's protection, which is a better option anyway!<br />
<br />
500,000 to 1,000,000 Christians declaring themselves to be aligned with the scariest Being in the world, is scary to people who hate Him. Fear and hate make people do crazy things.<br />
<br />
I hope that there are people from several branches of the protective services in attendance, to hear the messages but to stop someone from doing something violent as well. I'm not optimistic about any security being able to thwart what people may have planned, but God doesn't need my optimism. I know He can protect each person that will be there.<br />
<br />
We can't be paralyzed with fear. Trepidation over the next shoe falling could ruin lives even when it doesn't end em. I don't want anyone else to die...to be killed because of hate or fear or jealousy or stupidity. But I won't live with my eyes closed to the reality of the world today either. The notion of safety is an illusion, but God is real and He protects us from so much more then we know.<br />
<br />
So, even as I'm apprehensive about what may happen in 8 days, I'm excited for it too.<br />
<br />
Some of the greatest minds and best performers in Christianity will be coming together with the hundreds of thousands of us to show that Jesus is still the way to change, to reset.<br />
<br />
It's Pulse's slogan and it's a few years old but nonetheless very accurate - we need a Reset. It couldn't come at a more fitting time either! Funny how God works like that, huh!<br />
<br />
So, when you think of it, pray.<br />
<br />
But if you can, get yourself to the Mall and stand with the rest of us at this most desperate time of need. Help show the world that Jesus can still make all things new. That He CAN and He DOES reset lives, when people will just turn to Him. Saturday, July 16 may go down in history as the start of another great revival, but only God knows. Let's just focus on what we can do today and tomorrow to bring about the change that matters!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-11859835799321512016-06-06T20:02:00.001-05:002016-06-06T20:02:06.660-05:00Maybe not.Options come and go in life.<br />
Opportunities like the breeze can come with refreshing but in an instant be gone.<br />
Chances, well there are new chances each day, but even they are limited.<br />
A couple weeks ago I wrote about a chance to travel with a team to Haiti, well that like all but one of the other potential destinations was removed from possibility. I knew the likelihood was there because past experience is the best educator, but also that other people were slow to co-sign. So slow in fact that I was told that I was the only one committed to going. So it's reasonable that the latest option was taken off the board.<br />
<br />
Now I wait. Again. But in fact I never stopped waiting, because I expected that something would come up. It's not all bad, so I'll get to the spin after.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Part of the motivation for going to Haiti was that there was an imposed expiration date on the funds that had come in. Well, since the last potential destination was cleared from the deck that deadline has has been suspended. Not indefinitely, but until another opportunity arises, which is at an indefinite point in the future. Yeah, double talk - I know. But they're doing right by me with it and I can't ask for much more than that from them.<br />
That is the main silver lining, but is not the only one. It means that I get the benefit of having more time to choose a spot. I went to Turkey closing in on three years ago. Three years! It was a great trip. Purposeful and fun.<br />
<br />
I still hope to go to a place where purpose and enjoyment mingle. Where, when I read the description I see the potential memories to make. In Turkey it was hiking up mountains to pray over a city, seeing ancient landmarks of the Christian faith, walking the streets of Istanbul and seeing things I never would have imagined, praying for a crippled man while walking those streets & still praying for him to this day - when I think of it. Purpose and pleasure together.<br />
<br />
I don't like to admit but Haiti wouldn't have fit that. Sure there would have been some good memories forged but I just didn't connect with the idea of it. It would have been for duty over desire, not a bad reason but not the best reason by any stretch in this case. Paraguay was the place I wanted, but with Zika ripping through South America as it seems to be, I'm glad I was spared that chance.<br />
<br />
Something will come along, eventually and I'll through it up as I have before. Until then, the maybe to Haiti is now unequivocally a maybe not.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-29926089756294193362016-06-05T14:33:00.000-05:002016-06-05T14:33:04.625-05:00News on a loop, be preparedI don't know if it's a trend or a coincidence but I guess I'm just seeing things anew that have been around since the beginning. Yesterday I wrote about the verbal sewage that gets spewed out so much these days, but really it was words that lit the fuse of the first sins by Eve then Adam. One of the next recorded sins is also still very much in play worldwide to this day.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not attempting to hide our shame from God as he wants to be in a personal relationship with us. Though that is still in play for billions of people. Nor am I thinking of half - hearted offerings or the jealousy to those who give their best to Jesus.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you know the Biblical story then you may be able to pin point my direction but I wanna keep tracking readership, so as always you'll find out after.<a name='more'></a>Murder</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Violence</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not the first sins nor the worst, since the first brought the rest but taking the life of another is a special kind of evil.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't regard it as the worst thing a person can do to another, but also won't argue too heartily with people who do regard as the worst. Stealing a lifetime of opportunities from another is heinous indeed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's important to draw a distinction between murder and killing, I think. Murder is cold blooded. Often for selfish gain at the cost of the other. A murderer is a killer but I don't think all killers are murderers. Consider a soldier protecting his nation, an officer protecting his community, a man protecting his home. At times, those and others are faced with scenarios where killing another becomes the only option. It shouldn't be easy, shouldn't be enjoyed, but in this violent, crazy world may be necessary.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've heard it said that when purchasing a firearm, it's important to decide in advance how to respond if a situation arises which could merit use of lethal force. When I heard it, my mind flashed back to my days in the Boy Scouts. The motto that I heard and repeated countless times was "Be Prepared."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not be afraid. Not be angry. Not be (insert word). Be prepared.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've grown up hearing about shootings at schools, malls, theaters, homes, work places. It makes me sad, but out of sadness has grown a resolve. That I won't be a victim of other people. Hasn't come only from that, but it's indelibly a contributing factor. Won't be a victim. That means keep fighting. For a good job. For great opportunities. Fight on, march on, keep living. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I take no enjoyment out of the things that may come down the pipe, but I will be ready to do what needs to be done in a moment's notice.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's not of nearly the same magnitude but an example of it happened a while back. I was traveling to Iowa to watch the NDSU football team play ISU. Well, I had some car issues on the way down. Nothing that prevented it from being operated but which did add some risk to it and would need to be resolved. It was a Saturday so options of repair in Ames were limited but instead of panicking, I evaluated the situation and figured out a solution.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Over reaction causes internal issues that don't get things done. I'm not going to pretend like things can't overwhelm me, cause that would be straight Bull but slowing down before things happen is essential and I've gotten a lot better at that in recent years.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But things in this world aren't slowing down. I've heard of three different shootings in the last three days. Now I know, a lot of the media is on the payroll of those who want more strict gun control and I see the point of that, but it won't fix the problem. Thousands have died without a single mention by the media because it doesn't fit their agenda.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But what started so long ago is ramping up. It may never get as bad in this day as it did when people were put in the colosseum or crucified but the frequency of violence from coast to coast and all over the world is undeniable. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No fear. No panic. Preparation. That means many things, but many SPECIFIC things. So while the news is kind of on a loop, sharing one horrific event after another as the days, weeks and months pass by, just be ready. That's what I'm reminded of when I hear a siren go off or the news relay another senseless murder. It'll keep looping, different names and places - all sad stories, but also just another part of the tapestry, just be ready.</div>

This one's a little more graphically uncomfortable then I generally go, but the analogy I've concluded seems accurate so I'm going to go with it.</div>
<div>
<br /><a name='more'></a></div>
A few years ago I became a big fan of words. The beauty and power and variety of them is still intoxicating to me to this day. They can be used to encourage and empower or to destroy and mislead. Living in the age of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat & other such inventions, words have been diluted, abbreviated and cheapened. What once was a gift from God for us to communicate has become almost worth and at least a reflection of the degraded collective intelligence.<div>
Over the last few years it has become apparent that words have become a sort of third excrement from people. It's become especially clear over the last 6 - 9 months. I've heard from people of many varying worldview who all say words that are worth about as much as what goes in the toilet every day.</div>
<div>
I used to view words as a contract. A promise that when stated, was nearly absolute. I still largely live my life that way. When I say something, it happens. If I say something, that is. Because I've come to the realization that words are so over used and under valued, and become even more quiet then I used to be. It's helped me practice my listening skills, which is another facet of basic life that has been drastically misused in the modern age, but that's a rant for another day. And make no mistake about it, this is a rant. </div>
<div>
As far as I'm concerned it's gotten to the point that when people say things, my first instinct is to assume they're lying. Or if not lying then saying something that pretty much is guaranteed to happen a different way. If there's a difference between those two things, I don't really see it but I can't see everything.</div>
<div>
But this is what I see and what I've come to despise about so many people. If you say something, keep your word.</div>
<div>
Or don't speak.</div>
<div>
It's not a crime to remain silent. To refrain from speaking until what you have to say is actual.</div>
<div>
Hopefully this doesn't come across as petulant whining because I sincerely have learned not to care what other people say. But it frustrates me that these beautiful words have become so vile through the usage of the masses.</div>
<div>
If I were to find a silver lining from it, maybe it would be that having that ideal is a great way to remain distrustful of others. To see each word as untruthful forces discernment and a constant wariness. There are other's out there who mean what they say. There must still be people who value what they say. I don't believe that I am the only one in the billions of living souls who actually means it but there's a definite disparity.</div>
<div>
Until I meet some of those like me, I don't have any interest in consuming the excrement that people try to shovel out. It'll keep coming but won't stick on me, not even close. The lesson was painful, and infuriating, but the best ones always seem to be and I'm glad for it because it's helped me see and deflect a whole lot of verbal excrement.</div>
<div>
Rant done.</div>

My first idea was to head to Duluth for the weekend but all the campgrounds were booked up so I went to plan B. So I figured out what it would take to head out west and have some fun. The first stop was the Teddy Roosevelt Park.<br />
<br />
Friday came and after taking care of some duties at work, I got the rest of my stuff together and go on the road. I wanted to reach the park before the information center closed. I basically couldn't stop on the way because of that which was a little rough, even for me. But I got it done. Found out the best places to see in the park and then went exploring.<br />
<br />
I'll keep some of the stories to myself, because I like it that way, but that evening was worth the drive. Then in classic fashion I crashed in my car for the night. I had to break it in for that some time and this was as good a time as any, and better then most. I woke up at dawn, as planned and headed back into the park. After driving for a while I found a great spot to park and watch the sunrise, or at least what I thought would be the sun rise. It was a bit of an overcast morning so it didn't happen as I excepted. So after taking some time to look at it and take some pictures I hopped back in the car and headed up to the highest point in the area.<br />
<br />
On Friday when I was told about it that was where I wanted to watch the rise but as things happened in the morning I didn't think it would actually happen. Lo and behold, right about the time I got all the way up to peak the sun was busting out from behind the clouds. After more wondering and picture taking headed back down to keep roaming through the park. A few hours of that elapsed and I was exhausted so I headed back into Medora to check out some shops and just relax, with the intent of more exploring. But once I came down, I didn't have the energy to go back so instead I decided to go to Bismarck.<br />
<br />
Once there, I spent the rest of the day just relaxing at a hotel.<br />
<br />
Sunday came and it was time to finish the fun. I waited til the last minute to check out so as to hedge my plan a bit in case part of it went sideways. I proceeded to go up to Garrison for a festival that I'd recently found out about. I'll leave it to you to figure out what the festival was about in the photos to come.<br />
<br />
After spending a couple hours there, I retraced my path back to Washburn to do some golfing. I got to the course about 10 minutes after their unlimited play began. Then proceeded to play for about five hours. I've played less golf then I anticipated playing to this point in the season but still managed the best round I've had yet. Taking 10 strokes off without playing felt pretty good, but I did take the unlimited factor at its word and did some practice while I worked through the course, that's why it took five hours.<br />
<br />
All that remained was returning home. It was a rough drive which went much later into the night then I wanted but I wouldn't change how the weekend went at all.<br />
<br />
If a pictures worth a thousand words then this will certainly be the longest post I've composed but I don't think it's too much.<br />

Politicians, actors and athletes dominate headlines because of the positions that they hold. Sometimes they deserve those positions, sometimes they don't yet have them anyway. With the internet age that we're in, a statement that's made however simple or stupid can be "breaking news."<br />
<br />
Twitter has made that all the more prevalent with their trending topics. I think it only makes the folly of the whole thing more noticeable, yet it goes unnoticed or at least ignored. To wit, I just looked on Facebook a few minutes ago and one of the trending topics was a statement by George Clooney saying that Donald Trump won't win the election.<br />
<br />
Okay. Cool. That's an opinion. One that's held by millions of American's right now. One that I kind of side with. Not to get too political but I wanted basically every other Republic nominee to make it where Trump has now made it. But it's also just an opinion.<br />
<br />
Why does George Clooney's opinion matter so much to people that it becomes a trending topic? He's an actor. Maybe he's even smart but he's ultimately just another guy. His opinion shouldn't matter yet it does. Which doesn't make sense to me. I'll keep going off in a sec.<br />
<a name='more'></a>To call it an issue is a stretch but I'm not sure what word would be more accurate so I'm going to run with that one for now.<br />
<br />
It was an issue created year's ago, maybe when executives started television maybe even earlier then that with newspapers. At least in the time of the newspaper the people doing the reporting had degrees and thought through what went into each printing. So I think TV may have been the dawn of the current state of giving voice to the undeserving.<br />
<br />
This isn't meant to be some proposition to disband the way things are because those of celebrity do have special ability to make things in this world happen. Another recent example of what I mean is that Adrian Peterson has been giving away thousand's of dollars of his own money to relief work for flooding in Texas. That's a celebrity making a positive impact, which deserves recognition. It's not a tweet, opinion or a statement, it's a decision that's significant. That should get recognition, not an actor's opinion about the election or anything else.<br />
<br />
We far too often elevate things that do not deserve it. Opinions of individuals given so much esteem because they preform on a stage, field or court. But why? I don't get why the voices of those people are given special privilege in the current din of voices. I know that Youtube, Twitter and Facebook factor in but that doesn't answer it. But I don't have the answer, which is frustrating to be honest.<br />
<br />
It may be especially annoying for me right now since I've been double timing it on blogs the last couple months. This one is for life updates, general opinions and whatever else I come up with. The other is all about sports in the region. I've cross posted on popular fan sites for the Vikings and Timberwolves and gotten some hits but haven't been able to get anything recurring yet. There are reasons for that and it's all good, for now, but it does lead to the point.<br />
<br />
I may be just a guy from Fargo, but I've seen the uniqueness and greatness of what people from here can do, can be so I don't really think that should be a limitation. I don't want popularity, it's too often a crutch for people and I don't want any crutches yet it seems like popularity or notoriety are the only way for people to pay attention. Maybe I'll catch a break somewhere along the line or maybe one of the ideas I have will pan out and then options would be opened for me. But I'm getting off track.<br />
<br />
People may have special privilege with what they think, say and do but that doesn't mean they deserve it. Short of a collapse of civilization I don't know how it could end but if people thought it should that would maybe cause it. But that's unlikely to put it lightly. So I'll just keep ignoring the popular drivel that comes out and instead keep humming along with my little voice in the din of the world.<br />

For the sake of the ignorant, it's a piece of glass specially made to reflect back what is in front of it. Some of the best times in my life happened when I was just living and didn't have a mirror to look in. It became a lot easier to not even think about presentation. Kind of like the millennia in which people lived.<br />
<br />
But that's not what I've been thinking about today and recently, but I'll get to it after.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I've been thinking about the mirror that is every person. I first consciously starting seeing people as a mirror to myself during my last job. I saw some of my self in the kids that I worked with. I regarded it positively since it helped me see things in a way that I hadn't before and thus grow from it. But that job's done and behind me yet I continue to see things of myself in others that I interact with regularly, specifically some of my coworkers.<br />
<br />
I see an untenable temperament. A perspective on things that is often flat out annoying. A life that is barely productive when one considers the scope of possibilities that are often before us.<br />
<br />
I see these things and others in people that are at least twice my age yet incapable of dealing with even minor issues. The fact that I can take things in stride better is a benefit gained from my previous employment yet leaves in a curious spot. Because I still see characteristics that are a part of myself. Since I see them it's possible and likely that I will make adjustments to them as quickly and thoroughly as I can but have to wonder the whole time about losing myself.<br />
<br />
In an odd way I cherish the fire that's inside myself. The "won't take BS" that's in my bones, in my very fiber because it's been as beneficial for me through life as anything that is within. Yet it has to be kept in balance. Maybe that's the point, I see things of myself in others so that I don't become the negative.<br />
<br />
But it's just a theory. I don't know how long it would take to prove it out as more then that but I have a feeling that as life continues on I'll continue to see things in others. That the other people who I'm around often will continue to be a mirror for me so that I can continue to progress and improve. To what end, I have no idea but hopefully God has a purpose in it. Could be just for me, hopefully it's for something grander than that.<br />
<br />
Maybe I'll have the answer to that some day, until then I'll just keep looking into the mirrors to make adjustments and living when I choose to not look or can go without seeing the reflections for a while. Both times have pros and cons, just like everything else but the times of just living can be oh so much more enjoyable!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-41691330679323368882016-05-08T15:34:00.002-05:002016-05-08T15:34:50.230-05:00Haiti. MaybeOver 6 years, 6 different residences, the birth of all my nieces & nephew I've had a single, seemingly endless goal. Finish my degree from Bethany College. In the time it's taken for some to finish Bachelors and Masters programs I've had to slog for an Associates degree.<br />
<br />
There's no question that some of the delays in the process have been my fault. Some, possibly more of the issues have come as a result of the people that I've had to deal with. Over the last 4 years there have been 7 different trips that I've tried to join. One was successful, the rest were not, which is slightly over 14 percent. That's kind of a terrible percentage but means I'm 50% of the way to finishing the remaining requirements. Through it all I've remained diligent and have kept working to try to finish it out.<br />
<br />
Since Jan 1 alone there have been three different location teams I've tried to join. The first was Paraguay then some time before the end of the March that opportunity evaporated without a word. So I figured out another option - Honduras. This team is all set to go but because of the timing of my finding out that I had to figure out a substitute and the amount of time that it took for the school to process some forms I didn't think that I would be able to make that work with my job and being able to get a visa and everything else which would be required.<br />
<br />
So door #3 then. After, as always.<br />
<a name='more'></a>In August there's a trip headed to Port - Au - Prince, Haiti that I'm trying to make happen. It's no more ideal timing then the trip to Honduras but at least there's enough time to get everything done and organized.<br />
<br />
You see, over the last year I've had the cloud of money hanging over the process. Not needing money, but the fact that in September all the donations I received will no longer be earmarked for me. So while I'd rather have an option in July, or better yet I would like to already be done but neither of this things are possible. So I'm taking what there is...or at least what there could be and running with it.<br />
<br />
Make no mistake, it's still very much a could be. I was told a couple weeks ago that the team is short of the requisite number to go. I checked with my contact on Friday but only got an out of office auto reply email so I don't know if there is any change right now. In the mean time I've made contact with some people in the hopes of recruiting people for the team to cover the short fall.<br />
<br />
I want to be done with the school and everything that it represents to me so this is the means to that end. An opportunity to make a difference, but to finally just be done. After all the failed attempts I won't pretend to be sure that it's going to happen but it may and if it does, it'll be to Haiti. So maybe, hopefully but maybe not, which case I don't know how I would proceed with it. I've been so close for years but I just can't cross the finish line.<br />
<br />
If it gets locked in or if it once again falls apart I'll throw the news up on here and keep going in life but I won't pretend to have clarity on things beyond those possibilities right now. So maybe or maybe not, but Haiti maybe the last option.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-30171047984582027892016-04-16T21:47:00.002-05:002016-04-16T21:48:30.083-05:00ShadowsI've been thinking about this topic since Easter, but have been occupied with other things in my post work time. Fortunately it's not something that's time sensitive, quite the opposite in fact.<br />
<br />
Shadows are something that follow each of, in the direction away from light. Yes, I know that's a pretty obvious fact.<br />
<br />
Shadows are also something that some people live in. Whether it be the shadow of family legacy or a dream in this respect it seems to be negatively regarded.<br />
<br />
And there is also the shadows in which things are kept secret. Hidden away from people for reasons that only the one living in such a way can understand, if even they could understand it.<br />
<br />
But the shadow that I've been thinking about is at best only partially related to those options, it's the shadow of the Cross.<br />
<a name='more'></a>All 7 billion persons on the earth at present and all the billions of people who have lived through time live in the same shadow.<br />
<br />
Living under the shadow of a torture device. One of the most inhumane pieces of equipment ever devised by man. Where a person is nailed with stakes to pieces of timber and forced to suffocate to death over a period of hours and often many more then 2 hours.<br />
<br />
Yet it is the second most hopefully thing devised by man, because of Jesus. The first being the tomb and more specifically Jesus' empty tomb.<br />
<br />
But people don't wear tomb necklaces or have empty tombs tattooed on their bodies or placed as sticker on vehicles. All those things are true of the Cross. It is the symbol our salvation, of the shedding of the priceless blood of a perfect man.<br />
<br />
I've met people who had cross symbols yet claimed hatred of God and Christianity. It is a symbol stitched into the world. Unavoidable in creation, heck there's even a part of space that very much resembles a Cross. It's everywhere.<br />
<br />
We all live in the shadow of that symbol, that device. By choice or in adamant contention to it doesn't matter, except for eternally. Not to mention that flippantly because eternity is vastly more important then the 60 - 90 years that most people have on Earth.<br />
<br />
But it doesn't matter the stance that people take toward Jesus and the Cross, the shadow of it looms over each of us, terrible yet stained with Hope. Shadows can be used to hide or can follow us through life but the shadow of the Cross is unavoidable. And I for one am thankful for it!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-4969664470394498112016-03-05T18:36:00.003-06:002016-03-05T18:36:54.226-06:002 month reviewI've never gone this route with a post before but it's been a pretty eventful 2 months for me so I figured doing something new was a great way to approach it.<br />
<br />
Well here goes!<br />
<a name='more'></a>As the calendar turned to 2016 I was question the point of somethings I was doing. Namely among them was the work I was doing. As difficult of a job as it was I should have recognized that questioning the point of it as a sign of needing a change. I was even feeling the itch for changes but just didn't get far enough to identify that employment change would be beneficial until after the new year started, several weeks after writing about the questioning.<br />
<br />
Well in mid January the light finally dawned that I need to make the change. Once the realization happened it took all of one day for me to be fine with it. Well when it comes to switching jobs there's a small issue of having to find a new opportunity.<br />
Instead of going with my normal MO of looking at listings and hoping something would come up I went to a job placement agency. There was one option that stuck out to me right away. It's not as glamorous or respectable sounding as working with troubled kids but it was appealing the none the less. The reason for the appeal is still lost to me but I decided to take the steps necessary to get the job.<br />
Well after filling out the application I went through a pre interview with the agencies person that I was working with. A day or two later I had an interview with the operations people at the establishment. A couple days after that, a day before going to the Twin Cities for a family weekend in fact, I got the call that they wanted to offer me the position. So after getting back home I went in and made it official. So within two weeks of knowing that it was time for a job change, the change happened. Now instead of dealing with the myriad of things that I did over the last 2+ years I just do what is needed doing at the museum. Well enough playing around, my new job is doing general maintenance at a local art museum and event center. So a lot of cleaning but also setting up for events and just taking care of things at the museum.<br />
<br />
That's far and away the most significant thing that has happened in this young year but is not the most enjoyable thing.<br />
<br />
That honor would be given with certainty to the aforementioned weekend spent in the Minnesota metro. If you aren't aware, I'm a sports fan in a family full of sports fans so having family time is typically enjoyable but then add in the fact that it happened over Super Bowl weekend ratcheted it up because opportunities like that just don't get to happen too often any more. And as if that isn't enough, I got to meet my youngest niece so it was absolutely the best weekend I've had yet this year<br />
<br />
But added together that's still a pretty small sample size of the last 2 months. Well it's also not all that has gone on for me. For months now, I think around 6 I've made a pretty concerted effort to find an upgraded ride. There have been a bunch of vehicles over that time that I consider, for however briefly, but none of them were the one. I've had the good fortune of knowing pretty quickly that a car is the right one before buying it. Unfortunately those previous couple of vehicles have endured various levels of damage so it was time to find an upgrade yet I couldn't find the next one that I just had to have. Until a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I couldn't move on it as quickly as possible because I had to prioritize finding a new job before spending the requisite $. Well then the job switch happened but I had to make sure it was a good fit. So delays happened until last week. I finally felt good about going to see it up close, unfortunately someone had made an offer on it early the same day.<br />
I was like, after weeks, really! Same day. dumb! That was the one. I just felt it but someone made an offer the same day. so annoying! Well, as it happened the seller said I would get priority if I paid for an inspection so I moved on it right away. Next day I heard back from the auto shop about what they found and I called the seller to make my own offer. Well, the seller had told the other interested party that if his offer was the best he would get the vehicle. It was a little higher then I wanted to pay but losing the car I wanted over the difference in amount wasn't an option, so I matched and now it's mine.<br />
Could I have saved money if the timing had gone differently? Probably but the timing didn't happen that way and there was a cost that. Without a doubt there will be a myriad of times in my life where the things that happen don't happen at the best time and there will be a cost as a result. But sticking with it, thinking it through and choosing to act can make the cost worth paying. Just a little life lesson from getting my new whip.<br />
So there it is, 3 highlights of 2 months. Makes me excited for what the next 10 will bring!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-40933386975105709702016-02-20T16:28:00.000-06:002016-02-20T16:28:55.132-06:00Walking Dead S6.9 interpretation and reactionOver the last few years I've steered away from commenting about movies, TV shows or music regardless of my personal affection or disdain for any of the applicable medias. For one day and one day only I think, I'm going to break that trend.<br />
<br />
Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a big fan of TWD. If you're like my parents and aren't too connected with popular culture or you don't have cable so you haven't seen it then you may not know what that is. It stands for The Walking Dead. And yes I know there are people who may have seen it and didn't like it, but for the time being I'm just going to disregard ya'll.<br />
<br />
It's a TV show that airs on Sunday nights on AMC for 16 weeks a year, not counting the many days during the year that AMC goes through Walking Dead marathon. And that does happen several times a year. It's one of the most popular shows on TV.<br />
<br />
But maybe you're asking yourself why I'm breaking a streak that goes back many years, to the days of the old name for this blog?<br />
Well, the second half of the sixth season just premiered last Sunday. I would have gotten to this earlier but with my new work schedule and the fact that I'm putting an emphasis on a new blog that I started last weekend, I just haven't had time. The episode was just too good to not do a write up about. But more on that after the break.<br />
<br />
Please note, there will be spoilers if you haven't seen the episode yet.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Before I get into the meat of the post I'm going to answer a question I've been asked a few times. That is, why do you like the show so much?<br />
<br />
Beyond the compelling nature of the story itself - people living in a world filled with reanimated corpses. As a result of that, it's violent. Like really violent some times. But that is part of the appeal.<br />
It's a story of survival and as I see it, it's a graphic parable. That's a bit of a misnomer because of the dictionary definition for parable.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. a short allegorical story designed to illustrate or teach some truth,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>religious principle, or moral lesson.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. a statement or comment that conveys a meaning indirectly by the use </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>of comparison, analogy, or the like.</b></div>
<br />
But I think that calling it a graphic parable is fitting anyway. We live in a world filled with the walking dead. Those who are alive but don't know Jesus. Through various means they seek to destroy those of us who are alive, which is exactly what the dead seek to do in the show/books.<br />
More to the point, amongst the living there are frequent choices to fight each other instead of banding together, becoming stronger and surviving. Many of the most compelling parts of the story are when the living are in conflict with each other. Unlike the people of TWD, the people of the Church are already one body, just often terrible at being one unit.<br />
We can be wounded by each other and by the dead but we cannot be killed by them, another difference, no one is guaranteed to live all the days of their lives. We have eternity with God as a guarantee of salvation.<br />
The idea falls short with the fact that we are able to make a difference in bringing the dead to life, while the dead in the show and books cannot be brought back.<br />
It is also of note that the books and show are done by people of loose morals, at best, so there is content that is not acceptable of those alive in Christ.<br />
Instead of just dismissing it for those reasons I've chosen to see some positive angles and just enjoy the exceptional work that it is.<br />
<br />
Now on to the episode, I'm not going into all the details cause there are so many separate story lines in the episode but I'm going to hit the best parts. Again, there will be spoilers so for those of you who haven't seen it but are fans, just stop. That's 2 warnings, there will be no others.<br />
<br />
As the episode began, three of the stars of the show were stopped by a heavily armed biker gang. The gang members told them to get out of the truck they were driving. After complying, the gang's leader took the handguns from each of them then asked for the rest of what they had in the truck. After a short back and forth, one of the biker's took Daryl and went to the back of the truck to start searching it. Simultaneously, the gang leader started threatening Abraham and Sasha. Right about the time that the leader was about to shoot them for not listening to him there was an explosion and next thing we see is Daryl walking up with a rocket launcher (which had been found in one of the last episodes before the midseason break).<br />
I was hoping the rocket launcher would come into play during the episode but that usage was a faint pipe dream. It was an unbelievably great five minutes to start the show. The twist that I only heard of after was that in the distance behind the biker gang a car drove into view. Possibly an oversight and error or potentially the first hint at Negan's proximity to the story of the show already.<br />
After the intro and a commercial break the show flashed back to Alexandria. Rick and Co. were making there way through the herd that had gotten into the walls of the city but then came to the conclusion that there plan wouldn't work. They gave Judith to Pastor Gabriel to take to the church. They wanted Jessie's son to go as well but he refused. They made a plan to head for the quarry to get vehicles to get cars and lead the walkers away. While on the way, Sam (the son) started thinking of a warning that Carol had said to him and he froze up followed by starting to cry which resulted in getting torn apart by the dead. Jessie didn't let go of him (they were all holding hands) and then began crying herself which lead to her getting attacked by the walkers. Another lost love for Rick but before he could really take any time to process it, he had to cut her hand off so that Carl wouldn't get dragged into the fray of death.<br />
After doing so Rick looked up and saw Ron (Jessie's other said, who already blamed Rick for the dead of his dad) point a gun at him. Before he could pull the trigger Michonne ran him through with her Katana but he got a random shot off before going to the ground and being consumed.<br />
As soon as Sam froze, I sat up and was on the edge of my seat. I had heard of a sequence from the book where a mother and son went down a certain way but didn't know if they would kill another of Rick's loves off so quickly. Well they did, exactly as it was described in the book, though probably with different character names. I didn't think they would go there, then they turned up even higher.<br />
As I mentioned, Ron fired a single shot and after a few seconds we see what he hit. Carl, Rick's son. The shot hit him on the right side of his head, taking out his eye.<br />
At that point I was wide eyed and couldn't believe it. Sure they had the Governor lose his eye but this was way more dramatic. I didn't think they would go there. The fact that they did means that they'll go to any length they want to make the show as compelling as possible. AMC isn't taking their cash cow for granted!<br />
Well, Rick picked Carl up and with Michonne clearing the way they ran to the infirmary. After setting him down on the operating table Rick pulled out his hatchet and went on a zombie rampage. He single handedly killed 6 - 8 immediately then some of the other residents grabbed weapons and joined in. Over time most of the residents joined in the fight and they just all went to work getting their sanctuary back.<br />
It was just such a cool sequence. After all of Rick's hemming and hawing about us and them in the community it was just the best way for the division to be taken down. Based on the monologue that Rick had at the end of the episode it seems like it'll last but it was a great spring board into the rest of the season and beyond.<br />
There were a bunch of different details that I skipped and I would recommend people to check it out, if you haven't already but consider yourself a fan cause it really was the best episode yet. Top 5 at worst. I'm struggling for words to express how good of an episode it was but it was just SO good!!<br />

But I can't help to think that choosing to hope in difficult situations can make things happen at a more rapid pace.<br />
Choose hope ---> think clearly----> make good choices. Trust God for the rest.<br />
Well, as quickly as things seemed to be going out of control, there seems to already be some return to equilibrium.<br />
I'll explain more after the jump, as usual!<br />
<a name='more'></a>I'm on the verge of starting a new job within 2 weeks of looking for a new one. It all happened quick, but it's good since it was a few weeks ago that I realized that I was pretty well done with the kid care gig.<br />
So my employment situation got resolved in rapid fashion and hopefully it's a good fit so it can last at least another 2 years.<br />
On the flip side, my situation with Bethany has been protracted over many more years then it should have but things happen and the current situation is what it is. In any case, l'm closer then ever to seeing my time with that organization come to a close. It's pending final approval but I am trying to join a team bound for Paraguay in July. I wish it could be sooner but having the side benefit of it being a step to completion of one my life goals (going to the 5 other main continents) I'm willing to wait. When things are more concrete and I have a lot more details I'll do a write up on it but for now it still qualifies as something nearing resolution.<br />
So through persistence, or with hope things do reach resolution. It may happen in weeks or it may take half a decade or longer but things get resolved and when it happens, WHEN, it's really nice!<br />
Instead of getting mad or depressed about how things go, embrace the challenges; enjoy the time and make the most of life as it happens. Everything that happens will have a resolution.<br />
2/10 addition<br />
It's important to note that some resolution looks drastically different then we expect. Coming out of high school I thought I knew how some parts of my life would go, then I went through the route of school that I did.<br />
Over the years I've known 2 women who over time I loved. In both situations things ended in dramatic fashion and to my temporary detriment. For a long time I thought I was going to have a family, and I wanted one but now I think it has come to an opposite resolution.<br />
I've mostly recovered from the way things ended with the last one, it's been enough years after all but with the last few women that I've considered as viable options, for lack of better terminology, I've come to realize that it's just not worth it. I'm not going to get into specifics about it but the resolution that seems to have come to that part of my life is drastically different then what I expected years ago but just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad. To the contrary, I think it's better that resolution happen.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-68949759633047046062016-01-31T14:00:00.002-06:002016-01-31T14:00:31.267-06:00The Losing LifeSo there's a reason that I've been thinking so much about hope the last few days, I've come to the realization that life is full of losses and gains.<br />
To say it accurately I probably first recognized it a few years ago when I experienced the first period of condensed, significant loss. The experiences back then left me in a pretty dark place but as I've been told and personally discovered, I learn from the things that happen so as to avoid the same mistakes in the future.<br />
Making mistakes is unavoidable and I wouldn't want to avoid them but making exactly the same mistakes is foolish but I'm no fool.<br />
Loss isn't always the result of mistakes though, some times they are the result of the fallen nature in which we all exist.<br />
Whatever the cause, loss is something we all have to know how to manage.<br />
But then comes the x factor that is Jesus. More after the jump!<br />
<a name='more'></a>A major part of the message of the Bible is following Jesus, denying self. Losing dreams and desires that come from the rotting corpse that is our state at birth. But it is loss that results in gain, after some time.<br />
I'm not the type to sugar coat things - I leave that for all the people who try to avoid and ignore reality. It's frustratingly difficult to know on a specific level what Jesus would have us do. A year removed from high school I want to study the Bible and know Him better so I went to a Bible school for 2 years followed by another 2 years at a ministry training school which I was convinced was the place for me to be at the time. Years removed from each institution and I still think I was right in going that route, yet have used the education very sparingly, annoyingly little, in fact. I have 30 - 50 more years where the knowledge could come into play but nothing significant to this point.<br />
So when I think of going back to school I'm hesitant cause I don't want to waste more money, yet I know that things will change and I may need education to proceed in my life. Things will be lost but things will be gained as well on the journey.<br />
Some times it takes the losing to propel us the bigger and better things that God has in mind for us. Losing to gain. It's painful and scary but that's why it's important to hold onto Jesus, remember the hope that He provides us. Remember that He is in control and not doubt that when things are lost, it will be for our benefit, so long as we continue following Him. Those who don't follow Him will lose as well, as much as their eternity, if they never repent but He wants the best for them as well. That's true love!<br />
So don't shy away from the things in life that can and will be lost. Turn to Jesus, see how He's working it out and when it becomes clear, praise Him.<br />
The costs are not nearly as high as the gains but losing is a part of life that we have to come to grips with.<br />
That sentence sums it up I think, so I'm going to leave it at that!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08186095692235624353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644834841877632889.post-5661613494086953692016-01-28T20:53:00.002-06:002016-01-30T12:19:05.441-06:00HopeI've touched on the topic of hope briefly in some posts lately. I did so because I see a direct correlation between New Years and hope. Looking to the future, wanting things better and brighter - hope. Truth is, hope that is lasting and real can only be found in Jesus.<br />
Life is difficult and I'm not going to paint some bed of roses picture that just because someone follows Jesus, everything will get easy and better. Incorrect. Things get tougher following Jesus. Tougher but better.<br />
He is the hope for all people.<br />
I've always found music to be comforting when things get tough and hope is harder to hold onto. For that reason I'm gonna proceed with a couple songs that seem to hit on the hope of Jesus pretty well.<br />

So there's a couple songs that I think hit the fact of Jesus being the hope for life but more important then music or people, what does the Bible say of hoping in Jesus?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Psalm 147</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"He Heals the Brokenhearted"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For he strengthens the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He gives snow like wool; he scatters hoarfrost like ashes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He declares his word to Jacob, his statutes and rules to Israel. He has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his rules. Praise the LORD!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He takes care of us. I would say that that is a great source of hope and comfort. </div>

There are an obnoxious number of things that can make us sad, angry, scared. It's hard to trust in Him when those things are in play. Whether it be sickness or loss of employment or just from watching the news, to name a few things, hope (and trust by extension) are under regular attack. But just as those attacks are not static, so hoping must not be either. It has to be active. Acted upon. Doubt and fear oppose hope and trust. </div>
<div>
So when the tough things of life happen (and they will - sometimes in heaps) choose hope. Instead of fear and stress, anger, grief, or sadness, choose hope.</div>
<div>
Choose Jesus.</div>
<div>
Things get tough, then things get better and on and on. It's depressing and tough but Jesus is steady. He embodies hope. If only we would actively choose to trust Him through all the times of life.<br />
<br />
1/30 addendum<br />
So after thinking about this for another 40 hours or so I think I missed some key points. The hope found in Jesus is eternal hope, that those who follow Him will be with Him for eternity. I can't quantify the significance of that but did not intend to focus on that here.<br />
What I was going for was to highlight that in this life there is always a reason for hope. It grows up and out of Jesus as well because He always takes care of us. Nothing can change that. It will not always be easy though, just as taking care of each other isn't always about things being easy, but it is unshakeable.<br />
I sincerely don't know how people make it through a day, much less 80+ years without Jesus. Without the hope and assurance that He provides. Maybe that's why substance abuse is such a big deal and why violence is so rampant, though I would put some blame on technology for that as well. Religions based on works factor in as well I suppose, but it still doesn't compute with me. When I look at everything bad and broken in this world only negative things come to mind. I have to fall on Jesus in those times, knowing that He is in control.<br />
That a small thing like loss of employment or disease, of much greater negative effect, do not supersede Him. He does take care of us. All of us, whether a follower or a blasphemer, are taken care of by the Almighty. I could keep expounding on that but I think I will leave it as the general statement. For those who follow Him, don't worry it is all for His glory and our benefit - however hard it may be see the good in things that happen.<br />
The end....I think</div>

Coming from a very athletic and sports heavy family, my interest for the early part of my life was limited to the games that my siblings were in and on a limited basis on that. I got into Boy Scouts and theater instead.<br />
Most people I grew up around liked to do things, liked to have people around. I've pretty much always like smaller groups, if having other people around at all. I'm fine just kicking back by myself and watching tv.<br />
Those are a couple small examples but yeah, I'm different - by choice and just as fact.<br />
As I've gotten older it's fundamentally changed though. I'll explain what I mean after the jump.<br />
<a name='more'></a>I've technically been an adult for almost 2 years now. At least as far insurances and stuff are concerned. Other aspects of adulthood were afforded me at my 21st or 18th birthday's. Thing is, I still regard the notion of adulthood as a technicality. I know plenty of people who have taken more advantage of the age related "benefits" of being an "adult" in one night then I have over my nearly 28 years. Those are their choices...mistakes...to make regardless of perspective.<br />
Co-workers and friends talk about the activities I engage in, I rarely have much to add but try hard not to be all "churchy." Jesus calls for people to repent and did go toe to toe with people on several subjects but always for their best, for the best outcome eternally. Even in the sporadic times when I'm at a bar with people who are engaging in certain behaviors I just stay true to who I am.<br />
I've heard plenty of stories over the years of people who folded to pressure and desire to be accepted...to fit in. I'm not going to pretend like that could never happen to me but I kind of don't think it will in the future.<br />
Enduring the pressure of friends and co-workers is kind of a proving fire for how things are going to go.<br />
Luckily for me, I care very little for the opinions, goals and plans of others. I can go and do plenty of the same things as my peers but when it comes to doing things that are flat out sins I don't compromise on it, under the pressure of others. Do I sin some times? Yes. Regrettably. But the point I'm making is that I'm fundamentally different then so many of the people that are in my orbit.<br />
Because of Jesus. I credit it significantly to the transformation that has happened through my time in the Bible schools.<br />
Even when I was at my worst all I really did was ignore God. I didn't pretend He didn't exist. Didn't try to sabotage people of Faith. Just did my own thing. But I came back, because transformation is permanent. So while it's lonely and rarely the easiest way to live I will continue to be fundamentally different then this world that I am a tiny part of. By choice and as a fact, that's how it is and that's how it's always been for me! Almost like someone is in control and has made it that way, because Yaweh did.<br />
Even beyond things that fall into the right and wrong segment, I just generally tend to go opposite of how things are. People try to talk safety, I don't think there is such a thing. People make such a big deal about what famous people say and do, I don't care a bit and think, in a growing measure, that it's stupid that their actions and opinions matter more. Bingeing on tv shows is a big deal these days, I'd still rather sit down and watch the shows when they air or on hulu within a couple days, instead of waiting months or years to get through seasons in a days/weeks. So many people want to have the latest and greatest of technology, I just want to have nice things, that work well, for as long as they continue to work. So yeah, being different is kind of a big thing in my life and I like it.<br />
Don't be afraid to be different. Be afraid to be the same as this world!<br />
