"In the same way that my eyes are affected by staring at the sun too long; Lord, let my eyes be affected by staring at the Son too long."

Fipod


Once upon a time a wee girl, we'll call her Mary, went to eBay and looked for an ipod, the new gadgety thing that everyone has. Well Mary thought it would be cool to be like everyone else, and have an ipod; she had even planned what she'd have engraved on the back, "Maryitschka." So Mary eventually won an ipod, she was paying $88 for a 2GB nano, she was a very happy wee girl and excited about receiving it in the mail.
About three days later, it came in the mail. As Mary opened the mailing box all appeared to be present and correct. It was the tiny wee ipod box, said Apple Computers and everything, unfortunately, when Mary looked at the ipod itself, it was not an ipod, but infact a fipod! (Fake ipod for those who aren't hip, LOL) Thankfully the sellers were good people and are accepting a return. Mary however is now uncool and ipod-less...

How embarrassing, so glad this isn't me, that would be a red neck! LOL (In my defense when you type in "ipod" into the eBay search all items that name ipod in the listing come up, so if it has an ipod case, which this did, you get them too!) I felt like I'd been had, it was my mistake, what a silly muppet.

Oh well, I'll just keep singing to myself... "Wee chookie birdie, to ra lo ra lo..."

Prayer 24/7

It has been a wee while since I have written to my adoring fans... Oh how I make myself giggle ;)

I have had so much that I could write about, but if I write about it all, I wouldn't give do them justice. So, I'm gonna stick them all down on a post it note beside my computer and when life in the Youth Department is slow, (which will most likely be Julaugust 2009,) I'll write about it then.

Last Friday saw the launch of my territories 24/7 Prayer initiative. There were about 100 people in the Railton Chapel here at THQ; 4 were not officers. Lead by the indominable Major Janet Munn, we entered into a year of 24 hours a day, 7 days a week prayer. As we sat there, and anticipated the year ahead, it was as if all 100 or so of us were standing in the queue for the biggest rollercoaster on the face of God's green earth. I know it sounds cliche, but knowing God has lead me to believe that just about anything can happen when He has obedient people to hand. When I stand in line for a rollercoaster, I know that I am gonna scream, I know I am gonna giggle, I know I am gonna be so amused that I won't be able to let a word leave my lips as I try to take in all of what is happening around me. I'm expecting that from God this year, I'm expecting Him to be big and LOUD. So as the personnel of THQ spend time on their knees in Railton it is the hope that they build a stable foundation for the territory.

I had the priviledge of being in couple of times, the first with one of the leaders of the territory, ha, some people could say not one word and yet they would impress me; and the second time with some of my lassies. It is precious time... I wish I could share some of the prayers with you all, so being that I can't I invite you all to come and visit Railton!

Major Munn has just sent an e-mail saying that the Commissioner feels we need to keep the prayer room at THQ open another week! I feel a giggle coming on!

Peace to you all
