Getting Warmed Up

I am so sorry for the brevity of the updates and the frequent typos.  I had been doing the updates on my mobile phone.  The very tiny screen, with auto-correct and my giant fingers were no match for helpful communication.  So I have broke out a proper computer for more helpful updates.  Now back to finishing the updates from yesterday (Wednesday).

We had a quick lunch of Inn-N-Out burgers in preparation to heading in to the worship center for a dose of Paul Washer.  I had went by the bookstore because the lines for lunch were so long and then caught up with Mark, Marv and Jason inside.

Paul Washer was very much on-fire and inspiring.  The summary I would share is this:

1: Guys what you are seeing is real

2: It is ordinary and to be expected

3: Get ready it will get worse

4: Keep in mind the object of your faith 

5: Stay the course

Some quote I jotted down that will add context and flavor:

• Notice that everyone bad is being called a radical-fundamentalist, no matter what the faith
• We are being shame-ed as ignorant bigots
• Preach God, Live Intercessory Prayer
• If anyone in your church gets saved, it is because God is working around you not through you
• Is you name known in hell?
• Is there a target on your head?
• The only reason I am hear is I can take a deer faster that everyone else
• I have no great mind-if the HS does not show up I can't put 3 words together
• Regarding the election; Leadership hasn't changed, have you not read Psalm 2?
• What do your knees look like?
• Stop living in shadowland
• I am so tired of the false effeminate, monkish, skinny jeans, contemporary whining preachers-we need MEN.
• Go and fight-come back on your shield of with it

Did I mention it was a very good message?  Also, this is a great time to note-that there is an army of 1100 volunteers that wait on us selflessly.  They are all so kind and amazing.

The next session was Miguel Nunez,  He expounded on John 14.  Pointing out the high value of our salvation.  The central point was contrasting the tree of life we were told not to eat or face death, then the Second Adam provided his flesh and blood, asking us to partake and have life, The Bread of Life.

Mark Dever finished our day and we were ready for some food and rest.  We left by 7:00pm.  By that time exhaustion overtake us all.  

True story to illustrate how goofy we (meaning myself) were:

I leaned over and asked Jason if he could see that guy with a light-up kippah (aka:yahmika)?  We went back and forth and I persevered in trying to point out this curious illuminated head-wear. Then Jason noted; " you mean that guy with mirror sunglasses on his head, reflecting the lights from the ceiling?"  

Dinner was at BJs then a quick drive to our RV park.  We were so tired, we all (except Marv) missed our turn off and we had to turn around.  From end to end we were up at 4:30am and returned at ~9:30pm.  As breathing packs of warm jello we lumbered into our bed and were asleep in a moment.
