Well...

ya... i really dont have anything to say soo...
I will find a joke for you! a funny joke... a bar joke


A Really Bad Day
There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry.""No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away.""I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife kissing the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."


KK so that was VERY CHEEZY but i laughed!

Psalms 139

Soo lately I have been reading the psalms just because most of them are happy and I needed to praise God for everything. I think is was about time that I stopped praying for God to change things and thank him for already doing things.
I am only 20 psalms in but I read psalms 139 today because it is great. I am not going to post it... it's pretty long for a blog and plus all of you have bibles and can look it up yourselves.
It is a psalm praising God for creating us and how wonderfully he has created us... soo I wrote in my journal my own little praise to him about these things. After i had finished reading and writing i was filled with an immense amount of joy and all i could do was sing praises to God... soo i sang... and sang and sang.

I suggest all of you reading psalms 139 and to write about it... and sing.

psalm 139 verse 8-10
8. If i go up to heaven, you are there;
if i go down to the place of the dead, you are there.
9. If i ride the wings of the morning, if i dwell by the farthest oceans,
10. even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.
11. I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light arouind me to become night
12. but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are both alike to you.



14 days until we leave for Haiti... I am soo excited...
need to pray alot before we go.

May 22 2008...

Scorching hot Guatemala on May 22, 2008 Purulha, a small school of 200 poverty stricken children, a pinata is being torn apart in celebration of a gringos'(white American) 10th birthday. This 10 year old stuck up little princess had decided to, instead of receiving presents, to give needy kids a party they will never forget. She decided to treat them to some candy, fun, and at the of all this give each one of them a present, a teddy bear, or maybe some skipping ropes. Through all of this a 16 year old boy stands with tears in his eyes, 5 young snobby nosed boys clinging to his legs, he thinks of how greedy and selfish he's been over the years, and then it hits him, a feeling of joy that these kids can have this much fun with what they've got... "why can't i be this joyful with what I've got?"
Then something else hits him... this time a soccer ball in the back of the head, then a barrage of 3 more balls go flying overhead. "These kids are so uncoordinated with their kicks, pff!" he laughs "but they sure know how to have a good time!" so he joined them, weaving in and out of the kids with a soccer ball. And they played into the night. He had learned a valuable lesson that day, to not take for granted what he had, when there are kids all over the world with next to nothing.

Sunday.

Well unfortunetly feels like i am back into the same old dumb routine...

But i have changed... i see things differantly... I like to just sit and think more about how God works in the funniest and coolest ways... and how he is shaping me into some good person...wiiierd haha.

I wish i could say i was all good but... have my faults...

One thing God taught me down in Guatamala is that i should not be ashamed of how i worship...
we would sing songs and it felt like God would poke me in the belly and say "Get your arms up and worship me properly!"...it felt like God was just everywhere when we worshipped...(not like he isnt everywhere as it is...haha) I told myself i would change my worship style when i got back and i would listen to God for what to do...
But i get here and it's the exact same boring worship as it was before i left... it is soo hard to worship or hear God when you cant stand the music....aha..

Inbetween missions trips is hard... i feel like i should always be doing something helpful and being useful to everyone...

We went to the park today after church... Kelsey,Nadine,Cade,Hannah,Max,Alex, and I
To sing music and raise um... change for Haiti...
Well it was gloomy and i think about 10 people passed us while we were sitting half singing half mumbling half figuring what songs to play.
Then most of the people... excluding me,Max, and Alex..
went around the park playing music... i didnt want to play guitar cuz i cant... and the drums we had were behns but i am sorry they were lame.
Didnt want to sing...cuz...cuz... um people would hear me. ya.

Ended up with $2.25 i believe...

Then some guy that max worked with... came with his bongo drums haha and started playing a bit... he was neat.
He saw the songs we had lying around and kinda looked uncomfortable but what ever... we showed Gods love by accepting him... and inviting him to Zacks... which he didnt stay for very long. But maybe we impacted him... we may never know.,

Matt.M was not himself today... i am kinda worried about you buddy... cheer up... or call me soo i can cheer you up.


Well i dont work till saturday holy wow... s'long way away... but i am not looking forward to it...for some reason i dont feel like selling stuff to people that dont need it and probly have five of it already........hhhhh

I am supposed to play drums for church on sunday... i think i will accept...
Max is having a band practice haha and said i could play drums for them...
Cade and matt and i reeeally need to practice.. . SOO if you want to see The Waking Wounded or Radio Active Poop perform you better tell cade to lead his band and get his buns in gear...


4 more weeks of hard school and grade 11 is over... feels like growing up is coming too fast... grade 12 next year holy cowadge
Grad should be pretty darn sweet.... what kind of tux should i wear?

Have a good week you people.

-Josh-
Love you
