World AIDS Conference Break 1

The first session was really good.
2 First Ladies
2 pastors from Orlando
2 Warrens
1 guy from the bronx

Pretty good.
If you read this and are at the conference call me.
I mite be in the OC register.

WOW...

The AIDS experience tent was really cool, but sobering too.

My first time I was, Emanuel.

The Second I was, Mathabo.

Intense.

 

I loved the prayer chapel. 

If you haven't gone, please go!

I'm sooooo excited for the conference tomorow!!!

its gonna be amazing

FUEL!

Ok so FUEL was pretty stinkin amazing. 

here are some thoughts..

I understand that communion is a holy time. the thing im trying to figure out is why we feel so much more connected to God when we having music playing. Shouldn't we b living a life that connects to God whether is through journaling, studying, thinking, acting, or just plain living. Why should we get excited about once a week at church to be able to "connect" to God? He doesn't move, we do. Y? r we scared of the "What ifs?" r we not ready to let go of the sin thats holding us back? or r we just not ready to trust God enough?

Some lyrics that stood out to me

"A generation taking up its place with selfless faith"

(thats us)

"Take it all"

(duh)

so many more.

y do we accept mediocrity? 

should we be content just serving in safe ministries like All-stars or band?

I love karate so this is something you’ll know ill use.

Examples: I need a practice katana, or anything you’d think I’d like

Examples: Ghost Recon 2 or any game you’d think I’d like(No halo)

But here is something for your reading pleasure.
This is a link for my school
Click me!
Feel free to look around.

poll

new one.
please vote honestly...

Updated
If you vote in the poll and have a Google account, please post ur response.
I didnt't think anyone who called me Mr.Joshie reads my blog.
I'm confused...

Mischief

What would happen if I notified Blogger to objectional content on someones blo?
Would they shut them down?
It'd b funny to see what would happen.
Also, i mite b changing my AIM sn.
Ive been freaking ppl out using it and saying wierd and awkward things, but I am liking it better than my old one.
so vote--------------------------------------->>>

So the teaching was really good. Scott showed how genesis directly tied together 2 christ's death.
For example
the ground was cursed to give man thorns.
and what did jesus wear when he died?

Another example was how cherubs had always guarded God's presence on earth until Jesus died.

The last example ill post
is the one vertical and one horizontal stroke of the passover compared to the construction of the cross

Short Summary

Of the teaching.
I will be going more in depth, but this is a raw summary
[Josh talking in AIM]
the teacher guy was really cool
he showed us how the WHOLE bible
tied into itself
that was only the first nite
yesterday was
suffering is not always bad, and
prosperity is not always good
overall the theme was that the bible is a treasure hunt for the presence of God and how that changed over time
and then how losing is universal
and we should all be "losers"

more on the way

XA=Chi Alpha

XA was amazing. its going to take days and a couple of blog posts to get it all covered, but heres a taste

• Football
  
• AMAZING cabin
  
• Sugar Packets
  
• Hansel
  
• Making freshmen feel way awkward(some of it planned others not)
  

Thats the not iimportant stuff.
the important stuff like Bible teaching, worship through music and other stuff like that was amazing also

Bye...

Leaving for Chi Alpha soon.
Needed a favor.
Please pray for a kid named Ryan V.
He got bit by a dog and had to have surgery.
He does karate with me and is a great kid.

thats still alot for a song.
too bad theres not a clean version.

anyone have a good song for me to get with one of my free song credits?

FREAKY!?!?

On tuesday, i went to CHEP for an art fair thingy.
while there i got a fortune cookie.
Since i eat fortune cookies, i opened it
when i read the fortune, it was in
SPANISH!!!!!
¡no fue en Inglés, fue enEspañol!
I was totally got off guard!
I was going to try to translate it when i got home since i didnt know the wording
but i found a trranslation later
"a bee does not make a hive"


btw-i love ABS!

OH YEA!!!

Can u say fieldtrip?!?!
instead of getting late start like u guys today, i got a fieldtrip.
it was down to UTC in oceanside for the bodies exhibit.
basicly, its preserved cadaver(dead bodies) that theyve made into really cool displays.
but instead of a school bu, we took the TRAIN!
it was pretty amazing. then we went on to public transportation(the bus) for a couple hours. it was really fun.
on the way back we all got burger king crowns. it was sweeet!

explantion.

A 6th grader named lauren made my day...

so in junor high I took classes at a place called Biola Star.
They are real classes run by biola for homeschoolers
It's pretty fun.

So I haven't heard much about it cuz i dont know many people that go there now, but theres two sisters that hang up in the edge that both go there. and lauren told me that a certain teacher was still teaching there.
Now, this teacher is not the best teacher and is kinda funny.
so it made my day to learn she was still teaching.

So fun...

Halloween Pictures...

My Costume

The other people from the Party









The Magic Of Burger King XBOX 360 Games

Pix r on flickr now. ill post them here soon

Poll Explanation...and more

I believe Ryan from HSM 1 and 2 is straight, but other People believe he is gay because he doesn't really try to make Gabriella like him. But, being a guy, i realize he was just staying away from anotehr guy's gf. and hes paired up with that nerdy girl that likes to dance at the end of the movie.

[side note:yes i did boo during hsm tonite because they played an HSM clip. I just had to...]

The other poll is just to find out if i should try to get "crank that" cuz i have some free songs.
While we are talking bout music, plz listen to the two songs.
Believe by Mainstay
The Twenty First Time by Monk And Neagle
I LOVE these songs and would put them on my blog in a nano-second, but i can't find them throught the playlist thing.


i WILL get pictures from halloween tomorow. and some others i took of my costume.
but im still waiting for jami to get the homecoming ones.

Week Wrap up

Here it goes

Mon-Now
FIRES... While I/ most people are out of danger, the fires are still going. This is evident by the fact that the stinkin helicopters that fly rite over my house to refill. It cool cuz we can c when they are hurried r when they are just going regular speed.

Wednesday
THEBEST Praise and worship EVER.
From my 4 years in Wildside/HSM, it was the best. i can't really explain why, it just was. It was the first in my new small group, and i like that these ppl have no problem standing up when most ppl are sitting and that they worship how they want no matter who is waching. thats exactly how i feel!
I also got my midterm from spanish down at the college and i got an A- which although not as good as ive been used to in these classes, im still happy.

Thursday
not much besides not having any classes...

Friday...
was a good day just because it was

Friday Nite
I had a thing called the goonie fest. it was for all the leaders grades 6-12 from the edge to come, eat, hang and have fun.
It was pretty fun. but what made it special for me was that Amy/Steph(staff ppl) had asked me to share about what the relational part of ministry meant to me. I had planned it all out, but then i just went up there and said what i knew and it turned out pretty good. Personally id give myself a 7/10 cuz i know stuff i did wrong, but ppl i asked later seemed to like it.
it was also fun trying to scare ppl. also i sword fought with anne. played hide and seek too. it was fun.
it was a costume party so i went as a metro

Saturday
karate-4-Christ! then church from 4-8ish


ps-ictures will b forthcoming from halloween and my costume...
pps-sorry for not being able to go out with u guys tonite

Srry

Sooo much 2 blop about... Soon i will. Im on my phone now tho so i cant blog that much...
