Fake story about made up kid

"Hey Dad", the boy said. "Why don't spiders stick to their own webs?"

"Well", I said, "You see, spiders use 2 different kinds of silk when they make their webs, one is sticky, one isn't. The spider knows which isn't sticky, so that's the one it steps on."

"Wow, Dad, you sure do know a lot." said the boy.

"I sure, do." I replied, "I sure do."







Hahahaha I read that on this blog

Pizza My Heart

An Allegory of Faith
To read the full article go here
http://www.ibethel.org/local/index.php?f=journal/pizzaMyHeart.html
I read it and it was really intense, so I thought maybe you guys might want to read it too. Haha it is really long though, read it all though, good stuff :)

I often go down to the local pizza parlor and order pizza. The pizzas in this particular place are so expensive that I can’t afford them. Thankfully, a very wealthy man gave me his credit card to use whenever I want. He simply said, “Just use my card; you can have any pizza you want at any time.”
On this particular day, I walk up to the counter and order a pizza. I am given a little plastic sign that has a number on it.
Then I am told as usual, “Go put this on your table. Your order is number fifty-nine. It means that when pizza number 59 is ready, it’s your pizza.” They always give me number 59; nowadays it almost feels like I own it myself!
After I’ve been given the number, they give me a receipt; I sign my benefactor’s name on it and start walking back to my table. I am hungry enough I could eat the sign, but I know my pizza is coming soon. You see, the little number is “the substance of things hoped for.” 1
As I’m still walking, I hear a man snicker and say, “You’re not really getting a pizza.” I look straight at the tall, lanky man. His eyes are flitting back and forth nervously. Then I say confidently, “Look at this number, number fifty-nine. It represents my pizza. When it’s delivered, it’s coming to my table.”

Well, I’ve been noticing over time that there haven’t been too many people in this restaurant ordering pizza. I don’t know why. It’s my favorite place and has an atmosphere like none other! There’s something so majestic in this place that I can’t help going back.
Finally, some of my friends have been starting to come in, but mostly to rescue me from the illusion that I was actually going to be eating a pizza. The first one came a few years ago. He sat down, his glasses and countenance clearly distinguishing his high level of theological education. He and his family thought I just hadn’t been educated enough on the subject of “ordering pizzas” (as if it were really complicated).
“Bill,” he said. “There aren’t any pizzas anymore. They weren’t made anymore after the last apostle in the Bible died. It’s really vain for you to think that you could actually have a pizza! So, my family and I have come because of our burden for you and your well-being. We don’t want you to live with the illusion that you could actually eat a pizza.”
I said, “It’s too late! My family’s been ordering pizzas for years. I’ve come from a long line of pizza-eaters! I mean, my grandfather sat in the same pizza parlor as Wigglesworth, one of the greatest pizza-eaters in history! I haven’t had too many pizzas myself, but I’ve ordered and I know they are real. I’ve tasted some of the most exquisite kinds and I can’t go back.”
He became so upset that he said matter-of-factly, “Well, those are counterfeit pizzas. There’s no such thing as true pizzas today! So if you think you’ve eaten pizzas, they are counterfeit pizzas!” At that point, he wouldn’t even listen to me, so he and his family left.

Unfortunately, he hasn’t been the only one who’s wanted to pay me an unfriendly visit when I’ve been at the pizza parlor. In fact, after quite a few had come, something strange started to happen. The more I listened to people, even though I didn’t believe what they were saying, the number fifty-nine just started to disappear! Once I thought I had completely lost it behind the salt-shaker. I couldn’t even see it anymore. I had to come to my senses, find it, and put it in front of me again because I had almost lost my own number!
Sometimes I would just get confused after hearing so many negative words. Then I would sit there and stare at number fifty-nine and remind myself, “This is the substance of things hoped for. The pizza is coming!”
“Why?” I’d think to myself, “Because I’ve got number fifty-nine.” I’d bring out my receipts and start looking at them. Genesis through Revelation—it’s just filled with receipts! I’d go over all the different types, simply trying to meditate on them in order to encourage my faith.

One man who troubled me the most barely knew me, but he definitely wanted to have his say. He seemed to carry a pompous and angry attitude when he came in.
He asked bluntly, “Who do you think you are ordering pizza? You can’t afford these pizzas!”
I calmly brought out the receipt and said, “I didn’t use my card. Somebody else bought this for me. Look. It says ‘Bill Gates’ there. He’s offered to buy them. It’s his resources, not mine. It isn’t based on who I am; it’s based on that little name there—Bill Gates. He bought this pizza.”
Frustrated, he asked, “Who do you think you are just using His name?”
“Well, he told me I could. He said I could do that,” I responded innocently. Thankfully he walked out, but he was huffing and puffing the whole way. It really shook me up for a while. I started to wonder, “Well goodness, who do I think I am?” Then I realized I’m a buddy of Bill. I’ve got the same name!

Another memory that stands out at the parlor was with a well-meaning person. When I looked into his eyes, I knew he was trying to be gentle and thoughtful for my benefit. He had always been a caring friend.
“Now, Bill . . . ,” he said. “We just don’t want you to get your hopes up. We know that you’ve ordered pepperoni, but the Chef knows best and he just might give you anchovies. This restaurant should be called ‘Russian Roulette.’ You never know. You may get it, or you may not.”
I thought to myself, “I don’t know about you, but anchovies don’t belong on a pizza. If you like it that way, then I’m sure He’ll get it to you that way.” I was so disturbed for a moment that lost sight of my number again and then started to wander on the road of disbelief thinking, “Maybe my friend is right . . . .”

It finally began to dawn on me why there weren’t many people in this restaurant. I hadn’t known it was such an ordeal to order a pizza! The war that was surrounding me was dramatic. And it was for simply an order! Then I started to remember, “If you abide in Me and I abide in you, you may ask for whatever pizza you desire and it will be given to you.” 2 It wasn’t until that receipt came to mind that I began to have the presence of mind to make it through the battle that was going on inside.
I kept on meditating on number fifty-nine and look over other receipts, “By His stripes you are healed.” 3 “Oh, that’s good!” I thought. “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the pizza that you desire.” 4 “Oh, what a receipt!” “Taste and see!”5 “Wow! The Chef really knows what He’s talking about!” I began to bring these particular receipts to memory, became tremendously encouraged, and was somehow able to silence the unbelieving thoughts. As often as I would quote receipts in my mind, the number on the table became clearer and people’s negative voices were not quite as loud.
Finally, I was calm enough again so that I began to anticipate and then drool as I waited for my pizza.

More recently a narrow-minded person came in and said, “Did you know that pizzas weren’t meant for this country? This particular restaurant is a chain and they sell well in Brazil and in Africa. But pizzas really weren’t meant for an educated culture. Pizzas are necessary for third-world countries where they don’t have as high of an education as we do.”
I laughed and thought, “Man, where do I trade in my education? I want pizza. If education equipped me not to get a pizza, what am I going to do with it?”

Just this last year, I struggled with helping a good friend understand why I was there at the parlor again, ordering pizza.
He had told me, “Bill, I don’t want to discourage you.” (That is always a sign that what someone is going to say is going to be discouraging!)
“I don’t want to discourage you, but just two weeks ago my aunt ordered a pizza and she never got it. Our whole family was here together when she ordered it. We watched the order go through. We just became so hurt that we left the restaurant, threw the number in the trash and then left the building entirely.”
I didn’t know how to tell him that just because his pizza didn’t come through, he shouldn’t have given up ordering. I had tasted this one-of-a-kind, delicious pizza and I knew I would again. Discouragement wouldn’t make me give up!


Back to this particular day, I’ve become so excited because the restaurant is getting packed!
I ask the people in the next booth, “Hey, what number are you?”
“I’m sixty-one.”
“Oh yeah? Yours is coming up!”
“Who signed your receipt?” some ask me.
“The same one as yours,” I always say. I encourage them and say, “Cool. You should have that one in no time.”

As I go back now, every day, I notice that there’s actually more pizzas than there are numbers on the table, and not an anchovy to be seen (except for those who like them)! There used to be football fields between tables; now people are sitting right next to each other. It’s so fun to look around the restaurant and see people not just waiting for pizza, but also see all the people have already gotten them! Sometimes I sit there without my pizza, but somebody next to me always offers me some of theirs.
I look across the aisle and think, “Oh! I can hardly wait ‘till mine comes. Look at that thing! There’s more cheese and pepperoni on that than should be legal! I’m about to have an amazing experience!” I get encouraged by listening to the stories of how they got their pizzas, and I treasure those moments because they are a testimony that prophecies what I’m waiting for.
I think again, “Man. It’s going to be sweet when mine comes!”

One of the greatest privileges of my life was to sit and wait for pizza alone when the culture around me had reason to do otherwise. I will never trade my experiences at the pizza parlor, but let me tell you, it’s getting even better! Faith is material; it is concrete. We cannot bypass it if we want the kingdom of heaven here on earth. It is the only way to open the floodgates of heaven and create a descending and ascending portal that allows Jesus’ nature to become our own. If I get to stand in faith with another—it is an honor; if I have to stand by myself—still, it is an honor. Faith is a privilege I dare not live without.
Let us join in the opportunity to eat all that we can in the pizza parlor of His goodness!


*****************************************************************





EXPLICATION

HEBREWS 11:1 STATES, “NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN.”

Jesus says, “All things are possible to him who believes.” 6 It’s natural for us to have faith and believe God because everybody has been given a measure of faith. He is one-hundred percent, perfectly faithful.
Pizza is the representation of faith, which is the “substance of things hoped for.” What happens when we work to cultivate that simple atmosphere? Things simply take place when we walk into a room because we are together with others in faith. One morning at church we had two individuals sitting in the same section that had both broken their neck. During worship, they both got healed within a few minutes of each other. Nobody prayed for them, they were in the line of fire—a Holy Ghost drive-by shooting! They just got in the way! Some people have sat in their seats not being able to read their Bibles anymore until they realize, “Oh, I don’t need my glasses anymore!” It’s not like we just snap our fingers and the bell-hop shows up at our beck and call. He wants to do more than we want to receive. I travel all over the country saying, “I have good news for you. God is in a good mood. He’s so radically generous and extremely good.”

Not only is it natural for us to believe Him and have faith, but it is also natural for us to be a creative expression to the world around us. It’s not a good testimony to be religious people who become stuck in ruts, because if there is anything that He isn’t—He isn’t stuck in a rut! There’s really nothing wrong with being creative; in fact, creativity is necessary if we want to be like Jesus! Look at the miracles in the Bible . . . He didn’t’ duplicate one of them; he did none of them the same way. Once He spit in the eye,7 another time He spit in the mud.8 One time He laid hands,9 another time he grabbed the hands of the person and took him out of town.10 On one occasion, He just said a word;11 and yet another time He said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”12 All of these people who were healed had different measures of faith, yet He met all of their needs right where they were at. Not one was left behind.

Change in plans

Hello, everybody! Just got word from Dallas that there's a change in plans for tonight! Turns out we're not able to go to the Tayolor's due to the recent weather, so meet at the Church at 7:00pm, bring $6.00, and we're going to go mini-golfing! Yeah . . . just thought I'd post this for anyone Dallas may not have contacted! See ya there!

Hey, when is everybody's last final???

You have 2 choices....

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"

Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or..you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood."

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.

"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.

"Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life."

I reflected on what Michael said. Soon thereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.

I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins Wanna see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.

Michael continued, "..the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.

In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Michael. She asked if I was allergic to anything. "Yes, I replied." The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Gravity".

Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."

Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.

Attitude, after all, is everything.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34.

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

God Bless, and smile, it could be contagious.

Luv ya all!!!!!

Randy's Birthday today!!

Happy Birthday Randy!!!!!!

on June 16th Youth for Christ is putting on a big prayer night at the first Baptist church Youth Center. It starts at 7:00 and everyone in regina is invited!! Haha so yeah that would be neat if Hillsdale represented there, but either way it will be a great oppurtunity to pray with a lot of other people.

An old Hound

An old man lived in a run-down shack on the outskirts of town. He had no family but a hound dog, Mace, who simply loved chewing grass. Whenever the old man was in town doing some odd jobs, Mace would spend the day in front of the shack, chewing away on the lawn.

One day, the old man met a lady in town who had a plumbing job that would pay for a week's food. Delighted, he followed the lady home and was about to start work when he discovered that his wrench was missing. Without a wrench, he couldn't do the job!

Walking dejectedly back home, the old man saw that Mace was not chewing grass on the lawn as he usually did, but was chewing away on a grass patch by the side of the road. Kneeling beside the hound, the man, with tear-filled eyes, told the dog that there would be no dinner that night. The future looked bleak too as he had no money to buy a new wrench.

Then, he caught a glimpse of something shining in the grass. It was his wrench! The old man had dropped it on his way out that morning. It would have been lost forever had Mace not chewed on that grass patch beside the road. The old man hugged the dog with joy, picked up the wrench and ran back to town to complete the job.

That night, the old man wrote a moving tribute to his canine companion. Few people have ever heard these words until now...

"A grazing Mace, how sweet the hound that saved a wrench for me."

Verses on Prayer

Ya, so i was looking up a bunch of verses on praying and prayer. Here's a few that I found:

1 Chronicles 5:20
They were helped in fighting them, and God handed the Hagrites and all their allies over to them, because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him.

Wow, that's encouraging!!! All we need to do is trust in God and that he'll answer our prayers and he will, just like he answered the Isrialites prayers.

2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

We need the people in Regina and the world to humble themselves and pray and seek God and for everyone to turn from their wicked ways and then God will heal our land and forgive all of our sins

Job 22:27
You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.

We need to pray for all the things that Jon mentioned and God will hear us and God will enable us to fufill the tasks we've asked; we'll be able to fufill our vows.

Job 42:10
After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before.

We also need to keep praying for our friends just like Job so that the Lord may bless you like he blessed Job.

Psalm 54:2
Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

Dear Jesus,
Lord I pray that you listen to all of our prayers and to the words of our mouths and answer our prayers according to your will...


Psalm 66:20
Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!

... Lord, thank you for not regecting our prayers or withholding your love from us...

Psalm 143:1
[ A psalm of David. ] O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.

...Hear our prayers and listen for our crys for mercy.
Amen

Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous.


The Lord hears our prayers for we are all righteous

Jeremiah 29:12
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

We will call upon the Lord and pray to him and he will listen to us!!!

Matthew 6:6
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

We need not to pray like the hypoctites or babble like the pagans but pray in our rooms not out in the middle of the hallway at school. for the Father will reward us for what we do in secret.

Matthew 21:22
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

We need to believe, not doubt then we will recieve whatever we prayed and asked for!!

Matthew 26:41
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

We also need to pray that we'll not fall into temptation!

Mark 11:24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Here again, if you believe then you will recieve!!

Luke 18:1
[ The Parable of the Persistent Widow ] Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.

Always pray and never give up!!!!!

Acts 1:14
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

We need to join together constantly in prayer just like Mary and Jesus's brothers and the women.

Romans 12:12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

We need to keep praying and be faithful in our prayers!!!!

Ephesians 6:18
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

We also need to pray in the Spirit with all kinds of prayer requests even if they sound silly, and keep on praying for all the saints as it says.

Colossians 4:2
[ Further Instructions ] Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

Like it says...Devote yourselved to prayer!

1 Thessalonians 5:17
pray continually;

This definately speaks loud and clear!!!!

Philemon 1:6
I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

We need to pray this for all the Christians all over the world, that they and us, would be active in sharing our faith so that they and we will have full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

Hebrews 13:18
Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.

Pray for us, we need clear consciences and a desire to live honorably in every single way!!

1 Peter 4:7
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.

Pray that we all stay clear minded and self-controlled so that we can pray.

In conclusion, PRAY!!!! Just like Jon said "Nothing is going to change if we don't ask God to see it through." PRAY!!!!!!

Best Joke EVER!!!

This one's for you Dave! It's sapposed to be the funniest joke in the world.

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other pulls out his phone and calls emergency services.
He gasps to the operater: "My friend is dead! What can I do?"
The operator in a calm, soothing voices replies: "Take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
Back on the phone, the hunter says, "Ok, now what?"

kara faith.

Prayer Power #2!!!

Isn't great how God answers prayer? I think this blog is a great place to post prayer requests.

I would like to encourage everyone who reads this to try to set aside time each day to pray. Pray for your friends, teachers, the school board, and anyone who has authority over other people in Regina. Most importantly pray for revival in Regina.

I was talking with Rob Korsch a while back, and he was saying how we rarely pray against things in our lives(or city). There are some things that we NEED to pray against if we want to see revival: Drugs, Alcohol, Sex, Immorality(just to name the major ones).

These things are nothing more than traps set by the Devil. I'm sure you can all think of someone in your life that has fallen captive to at least one of them. We NEED to include these things in our prayers. This is also one of the huge reasons why we need to pray for our authorities.

"For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

This verse mostly regards spiritual authorities (i.e. the devil, demons). We need to pray for God and his angles to interfere with the Devil's plans for Regina (which is corruption). BUT, we also need to pray for the authorities in our schools, city, and country to take strong stands against the immorality taking root in our Society.

YOU GUYS
NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE UNLESS WE "TAKE A STAND AGAINST THE DEVIL'S SCHEMES"

Nothing is going to change if we don't ask God to see it through.

-Pray that our schools will start taking strong stands on issues like alcohol, drugs and Sexual immorality

-Pray that the police, and city, national authorities crack down on use of drugs.

-Pray that God will send his fire from heaven to destroy places of immorality.

-Pray that God will bring judgement on those who promote, and influence others toward immorality.

-Pray that God will provide amazing, influential people to lead things like IVCF, ISCF, business people to start things like a Christian radio station, and people of wisdom to be pastors and ministers.

One of the things that has been on my mind lately is the Grade 12 Stag and Stagette parties that everyone is talking about at school, and all the immorality that will likely be happening. The ones at Sheldon will be happening Tuesday and Wednesday.
I think we should pray that these parties will be a disaster. And that they would have to be cancelled, or that God will do something to stop some of this immorality that is going on.

Thanks alot guys,

Jonathan

can you say RANDOM? 

awwww! 

nice sarah, nice. 

bad picture, awsome pose! 

roxxxaannne!

so, i haven't posted for awhile, and have decided that i should, because, frankly, i can so i will. the grads looked sooo goood! there were so many sparkles and stuff, it was like *BLIIIINNNGGG!*(hey kiersten) and yeah, i'm excited/sad about next year. if my parents were cool, then i could be up there with them, but they're not, so i wasn't...i mean, have you LOOKED at what i'm left with? next year will be HORRIBLE! kidding guys, i love you all!
anywho, so this string walks into a restaurant, and asks the waitress for service. the waitress says (much to the string's dismay) that they do not serve strings, and that he will have to go elsewhere for service, as requested. soon, the string's buddy (another piece of string) comes along, and the first string says to his buddy that they don't serve strings, and that they would probably have better luck elsewhere. the string's buddy tells the first string not to worry, and that he will get them food. the string's buddy then proceeds to rub the top of his stringy little head, and ties a knot in himself. he then confidantly walks up to the waitress, and requests service. the waitress looks him up and down and proceeds to ask the second string if he is a string as well. the second string looks at the waitress and replies "no, i'm a frayed knot!" (get it? 'fraid not...frayed knot...)
and then he found five dollars
the end

Prayer Power!

Just a note to everyone who reads this before Friday lunch:

Please pray LIKE CRAZY for good weather at lunch tomorrow. Sheldon and Campbell’s ISCF groups are getting together in the park by the church, and it is suppose to be cloudy and rainy.
Please pray that God will give us an hour of sunlight to have an awesome time of fellowship with other Christians.
IF YOU GO TO CAMPBELL OR SHELDON - MAKE SURE YOU ARE THERE, AND TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO COME.
