My word... I was just at Ashby's Blog and read what "queesamor" wrote down... and my word... I want to just jump and scream in joy and triumph at that... It's one of the best things that I've ever read... and it's full of something I've been missing, and am still lacking in the force that it's wrote on there... Passion. I can't express how much I love what is written there. Just reading it stirs the Passion in me... HO LEE CRAP (in the good sense of the use)... that's how I feel... wha! :) Anywho... on to posting whatever it is that I'm going to be posting... wich I'm not sure what that's going to be... well, I've put in a request for May 24-31 off... and I'm hopefully going to be comming home. To see all the rellies back there, and that I've been missing oh so much... anywho. Yup, I just bought a sweet drive for my compy... it's a dvd/cd-rw combo drive, and I just bought 52x cd rom two wednesdays ago, so... hehehehehehehe... I get to BURN stuff... I like burning >:D (that's supposed to be an evil smile... not mad) anywho... yup, oh yeah, we have, ready for it? *clears throught* HIGH SPEED *said in a deep booming voice, echoing from hilltop to hilltop* hehehehe... it's so fun. Anywho, I'm just rambling on about nothing in particular.

So, I went to Freshwind this year... It was good, and also kindda bad. The good things about this year were that they were releasing the chilluns to pray for eachother instead of keeping it strictly "Ministry Team" peeps. Wich is a first and very cool. And they also were doing their own teaching. So they were teaching on stuff that they teach at the ministry school and what not... and might I add, I've never heard the word sex said so many times in church... and I loved it!! Cuz they brought up a really good point. Why be ashamed of sex? Yahweh created it, so why are we ashamed of it? So very cool... (my own little change from "God" to "Yahweh") Anywho. Also, I made a giant leap in the right direction. I found out that I was holding onto something, and when I tried to let go (with Yahweh's help) I was very nicely attacked by the little enemy. And so that required one of the TACF Ministry team to come over and bind down that little pipsqueak, so that it didn't make a big scene. Well, I have yet to have ministry for it, but the other half of my ministry team is now back from vacation so I can hopefully get that dealt with. Anywho. Now on to the bad
part(s). So, I think I've made a revelation, or it could have been the enemy dragging me down, still trying to figure out wich... but I think I've out grown Freshwind! SHOCK! HORROR! CATASTROPHE! Well, maybe not catastrophe, but hey... I'm still in the age range that Freshwind is aimed at, but I've grown up so much spiritually, that it's like... Dang. I used to feel like a little baby surrounded by a bunch of NFL players here... but now I'm one of the biggest players... I'm not saying that I'm "SUPER CHUCK!" HeeeeeEEEEELLL no... if anything I'm "UNSUPER CHUCK!" Cuz I cain't do nothin'! It's only Yahweh that's doing the stuff, I'm just the vessel that he decides to use... with some pretty funky ass gifts, and strengths... and of course, weaknessess... I'm not even sure what they all are, but I've had someone who is way down the road (spiritual maturaty, and age) from me and that I have a great amount of respect for, look into my eyes, and say (very seriously) "You scare me." and it wasn't meant in a bad or offending way. So that's, seriously... wow... anywho, there's more to that story but I think this post is going to be long enough as it is... Oh yeah. There's a two peeps on our Young Peoples Team here from Taiwan, and I was on Krysty's blog (wich is pretty sweet I might add. Bobo is so awesome! :)) anywho, and I went to that "What's your Chinese Name" thing, and I got something like "Ran Shen Hong"... and I showed it to one of the Taiwanese peeps and we sat down for a while, and I now have a Chinese name... wich I'm still trying to remember what it means, but both he (Ethan) and Gloria (the other Taiwanese peep) say that it's a good name, so I'm quite proud of it... hmmm... Thanks Daddy :). Thought I should thank him... If memory serves correctly (mind you it rarely does) I think I prayed for a Chinese name, ages ago... so with out Further adieu (pronounced a-doo) my name is:

Ran Gwong Wei

Anywho... I gotta go. Love yous all.
