Yah!! I'm Done!!

Well, I'm done preaching. I enjoyed it a whole lot and now we are going to drive around Michigan for a few days. We will fly home sunday night. I look forward to seeing everyone again.

One of the Weirder Dreams I've Ever Had

So I just had one of the weirder dreams of my life….

So David and I were driving along in some sort of motor home. I was controlling the acceleration from the very tiny bathroom in the back and David was sitting on the ledge above me steering.

As we were driving through an empty field, we saw a moose running off about 50 yards away. So, logically, we decided to make the moose chase us. So we steer off to the right and entice the moose, who gets angry and pursues us. Well…. things don’t go as planned. We thought we could go faster than the moose, but even when I crank it up to 70MPH, the moose is still gaining on us. So I reach out and grab the moose by the horns and twist its head so that it falls over. Moose: 0 Bathroom-Controlled-Motor-Home: 1.

So next thing I know we are in some sort of dirt bike race. So we race along the dirt road we’ve been driving on w/ a field of corn on one side of us and that empty field on the other. Well, our Bathroom-Controlled-Motor-Home is much faster than any dirt bike so we taunt the other racers for a bit and then zoom on to the finish. We finish SO FAST, in fact, that after crossing the line, we decide to go back and taunt the other racers. So after I drive backwards for a bit. Finding the other racers, and seeing as we won way too easy the first time, I hop out of my previous ride, and pull the moose out of the ground so I can race on him!! (well, first I have to inflate him because my previous encounter had deflated him). So to get him to go, I pull the lever on his tail and then hop on. As he inflates, he starts running quite quickly and I catch up to the guys in front in no time. I even have time to pull the tail-lever a bit more before we finish and I finish the race in 2^nd (or 1^st a second time).

As I finish, the credits start rolling across the screen. And whose name should be on the top of the list in glittering flashiness? Mitt Romney!!! Duh! And here he comes, across the finish line. I walk up to him jovially and say that I’ve never seen anyone use such blatant advertising in politics. He just smiles back at me and says ‘Well,’ as if to say, ‘those are my methods, take them or leave them’. And to top it all off, as he is saying that, the corn all around him starts bowing to him…

………

What a dream!

So I was reading through Exodus

So I have been reading through exodus and have been amazed at what I’m seeing. God sends the 10 plagues against Egypt and all the Israelites leave Egypt. God leads them by sending a big tornado-like pillar of clouds in front of them by day and a big pillar of fire in front of them by night. Yes, when they get hungry, they whine to Moses and ask him how they are going to eat. ‘Do you want us to die?’ they ask him. WHAT?!! Didn’t you just see God work miracles? IS your memory that short? Unfortunately yes. So God provides food for 1,000,000 people through the desert.

So then they walk around for a while longer and they camp in against the sea. Pharaoh comes after them. As pharaoh is coming, they ask Moses, ‘Did you bring us out here just to die? We would have been better in Egypt.’ WHAT!!?!?! HUH?!?! God not only sent the 10 plagues, but has been providing enough food for 1,000,000 people PER DAY FOR MONTHS NOW!!! And yet you still don’t think he’s powerful enough to save you from a little army?!? Are you blind, stupid, or both? (probably both) Well, God makes the sea open up and they walk through ON DRY LAND! Pharaoh and his troops die.

Did you notice that not once have the Israelites done ANYTHING?!! They escaped from Egypt, the most powerful nation on earth without lifting a finger, God did it all. Not one Israelite died. They got food for 1,000,000 people per day… they don’t do anything!!! They just gather it! Pharaoh and his army comes and the most powerful army on earth is totally wiped out… completely… every last one of them… and not a single Israelite lifted a finger. Yah…

So now the Israelites will trust God completely right!! YOU WISH!!

God tells them all the 10 commandments. Then, Moses goes back up the mountain for God to tell him more stuff. After a while, they get ancy and make a golden calf and call it God. ARE YOU STUPID?!!!? DIDN’T MOSES JUST TELL YOU THAT COMMANDMENT #2 WAS NO IDOLS!?!?! What were you thinking!?! Really?

And I’m amazed at how slow they are to learn. They just don’t get it. And I think…. Hmm… you guys are just a few crayons short of a box aren’t you. But then I think… ya know.. I’m not to quick to fix stuff either. I struggle every day to do my quite time. I struggle to pray like I should, to share the gospel like I should, to memorize scripture like I should. I know what I SHOULD do… but that’s not always what happens. I guess it reminds me that I’m not the only one. And it reminds me that God is patient. He loves me and wants me to do better and will continue to encourage me to do better sometimes, and other times kick me in the butt to get me in gear…

What do you think?

WOO HOO!! Hebrew was canceled today!!! And it couldn't have been a better day either. I had my alarm set to wake up at 5am to get my homework done but at 5am decided that it wasn't worth it (I get to drop 2 homeworks). Then I get a message that class has been canceled! WOOO HOOO!! fabulous! That ends up being really good cuz I can get a bit caught up today (which I need because I am way behind) And the great part it, it earns me more than just the 3 hours that I dont have to be in Hebrew, it earns me an additional 2 hours because I don't have to take a nap afterwards to get my brain unmushy and recover from class. YAH!!

well, back to work!
