Frito pie on the 4th of july

Okay so i was just scrolling through my pics on my phone and i saw this one. This is one of the meals we had at Levi and Jenny's. Jenny made litte spaces of glory, each one inscribed with our own names. Eric's glory space didnt have a seat. And with our forks at hand, we ate like clergy men.

Photographer of the Week

Mat Pirolo



"I'm getting more and more into portraits but definitely enjoy Scenery and just everyday life. I hope to grow as a Photographer and encourage any criticism you might have for me. I remember watching my sister develop her pictures from the AE-1 (that same one that I started with). That is when I realized that I wanted to be a photographer"

"Where babies come from"

Okay, so one day I was on myspace and this girl posted a buliten that said she wanted some one to tell her a story about where babies come from, but she wanted it to be creative. And this is what happened...

"To make a baby you need a sperm cell and an egg cell. The sperm cell, "Jimmy," comes from the daddy and the egg cell, "Katie," comes from the mommy. When Jimmy and Katie meet, they make a tiny baby that is smaller than a grain of salt. The baby grows in the mommy's tummy for nine months. During this nine months, a magical unicorn comes in and trains the baby up for the real world (Everybody always thinks it’s the parents that do the raising, but there wrong, it’s the magical unicorn). The magical unicorn teaches the baby how to speak, eat, read, teach, fish, and even how to properly re-create a well established Access bond (A type of mortgage that permits borrowers to take out loans against extra capital paid into the account, home-loan interest rates being lower than interest rates on other forms of credit). This conditioning can be extremely tedious and cause the baby stress and anger, thus making the child punch and kick at what ever it can. But the magical unicorn knows how to calm the child, after all, unicorns know best. After the child is ready for the real world, the unicorn jumps on the umbilical chord and flies to the child’s heart where he can be with the new human forever."

Church in the park

So maybe this should have been about 2 or 3 blogs, but you can handle it.
We had our Fresh Life Sunday's Service in the park today. A lot of preparation had to go into this. If you didn’t already know, you can’t just go into a park and set up your kingdom like you own the place, because generally you don’t. You have to go through the city and ask if its okay to use their park on this day at this time. And this really sucks if you take things way to literally all the time. Trying to go through the city isn’t an easy thing, not to mention, a city is an inanimate object. It’s kind of hard asking things to use their parks. But you’re not like that, are you? So we talked to the city (I wasn’t actually there, but I was part of the group that wanted the park therefore I have stated that “we” in that part of the sentence) and had the park reserved for the time we needed it. We visited the park a few times just to get a general lay out and figure out where things were going to go. I talked about one of these miraculous voyages in a previous blog, “Were on a mission from God.” All seemed to made in the shade! This is good, because that’s where we wanted it to be. It would get way to hot for the people to be in the sun that whole time. However we did discover one problem during our miniature shindigs. Sprinklers. Every time they would turn on, they would create a swamp-like environment, leaving the ground muddy and puddled. They soaked the benches, electrical outlets and the gazebo in which the band and Levi would open the door to the gospel. Needless to say, we didn’t want people to being electrocuted. Think of how many less people would be at Fresh Life Church the following Sunday! Again, Eric and Levi spoke with the city and they assured us the our problem would be taken care of.
So our day came around and we were up at 6 --. The day was beautiful, we couldn’t have prayed for a better one. So we loaded up and headed to the church to get things ready for the upcoming service.
We drove up, and to our dismay, the sprinklers were also up and spraying their hellish waves of acidic/swamifying water. Slightly bummed, we decided to set up what we could. Only the outside borders of the park were being watered. So we removed all the sound equipment with the tables and drinks (the drinks were for a bbq that we were having for anyone who wanted to come after the service) from the trucks. As we stared to set up, all the sprinklers went off that were in the middle. All of the equipment was out in the middle so we ran frantically with our manly muscles moving everything to the center of the gazebo so it wouldn’t be damaged. Some of the sprinklers were actually shooting water onto the stage, so we went to block their vicious attacks. Jesse, with the common sense in his head, used one of the benches that was at the park to flip over the top of the sprinkler so it would stop spraying everything. I, on the other hand, made a pyramid shaped barrier out of about 8 sprite cans blocking the area of the stage form the sprinklers harmful rays of death. As this intense battle raged on, we saw Eric in the background walk over to a hedge of bushes and take out a plug in the wall, and the water mocked no more.
After a while, everything got to where it should be. In the shade. We discussed this earlier. The service was beautiful. Some people who were running stayed for the service and all the people of the church came to celebrate this day with us. And after tons of labor our efforts were found fruitful, and our women beautiful. Good night, and stay classy.

The music makes you want to dance...

If you sit down you've lost your chance!

Meaning? None.

Were on a mission from God.

This mourning started off bright and early so that we could attend the men’s prayer meeting at Fresh Life, which they have in the weekly. We were up at 6 -- because we had to be at the church at 7. Luckily, we live no farther than a whistle blows. When our 2 minuet voyage had come to an end, we found that 3 of the men that would attend this meeting were patiently waiting outside of the church for the coming of Coy.
Ecstatic, they arose to their manly feet to greet me as I was the first of our crew to the door.
During the meeting, Levi announced, to those who were faithful, that we would be starting another service on Sunday mornings because of the undeniable fact that the church is breaking the law weekly, which would put Sunday morning services at 2. The men were overjoyed to hear of the great news! One of the men, whose name will be changed for protection purposes, James Earlbread, stated that this was a wonderful problem to have. If all we have to worry about is the church growing, then we don’t have much to worry about! Unless of coarse were breaking the law…
After the meeting, Devan, Coy, Eric, Jesse, Levi and I proceeded to the park, where next Sunday’s service would be to scout out the area for the purpose of Feng Shui (an ancient Chinese practice of placement). We couldn’t be stopped.
On an unrelated note, we also visited a Veterans Memorial honoring those soldiers from Montana who had fallen in battle from several different wars. If you’ve been praying for our current troops, keep doing it! If you haven’t, start.
