Computer problems

Ya ok I haven't posted in awhile. But this is not out of negligence or procrastination. I have a part coming for my laptop. I only have 30 minutes or so with each use, then go plug it in, and that takes one New Balance shoe, an 1828 Webster's Dictionary, a Matthew Henry Commentary (the complete and unabridged version, aka the big one) and a heavy full size journal. Plus it takes a little prayer too. If all goes right the little green and orange light come on and we are charging. If not, I adjust the shoe and laptop, while my roommate laughs at me.

So that means check my 4 email accounts, send quick replies, read a couple blogs, some news and look up some bible stuff I am studying and Time is up!

Next I will solder in a new dc outlet. I am not giving up on this old dog yet.

Time is up!

Live from Kansas City it's...

"Conference Time"

Just writing a quick update about the first day of the first conference of the year 2007. I am coordinating the final shuttle pick-ups of the day. As drivers we have served the transportation needs for the first day. It has been long day but a good day.

Get this, we were parking people at one of the many "abandoned strip malls" in SouthKC. It sure was good for business at the local Dollar General, which is the only business which actually looks open. I think 90% of ihoppers did not even know it existed.

We have contended for the spirit of prophecy, healings and for God to break in while we are driving and serving. And as one nightwatch driver (aka-the Obscure Poet) put it, to just smile and serve does touch hearts. Another saint (from Calcutta) who ministered daily to the poor and broken with a smile, but not just an appeasing "Welcome to Wal-Mart" smile, but a genuine Holy Spirit inspired smile. These are powerful and genuine, they are light and light pushes away darkness.

So thank you Father for another day to practice living the sermon on the mount lifestyle! We only have 70 yea 80 years to walk it out on this side of Heaven (which is coming down to a planet near you).

I got to hear a couple minutes of Bill Johnson speak, I sure love that guy. He is such a gift from Heaven to the Body of Christ. He always leaves your jaw hanging wide open. And how many times does he have to repeat revelatory nuggets to our carnal minds per service?

By the way did you all know that the actor Stephen Baldwin was attending tonight with Corey Russell? Someone put a Corey Russell CD(Days of Noah or Ancient Paths) in his hands and he was rocked and has wanted to come since. I saw him speaking to the punk rockers, skaters and other radical young people at the LifeLight Festival. He had a genuine conversion and he is hungry to see a generation get set ablaze for Christ and Christ alone. Let us remember him in our prayers this weekend. Just join me in three simple prayers:

1) That he would truly understand the need for an empowerment from the Holy Spirit.
2)That he would be a wise virgin and not a foolish one. In other words that he would stay intimate with Jesus and the he would truly know Him and be known by Him. (Because he is and will be offered many opportunities to "DO" great things "FOR" God.)
3)That the revelation of the need to put prayer first above all else for the purpose of fellowship with our Heavenly Father would strike his heart to the core.

Amen, Let's Stand!!!
