God has been really unusual this summer and there have been many turning points where I have witnessed his "mighty hand and outstretched arm" -OT... And I know I'm NOT crazy, because my other friends at seminary and otherwise also saw that orange tinted full moon and our new brother in Christ also saw that e-mail disappear from my Sent folder, which BTW, it came back when I got home eh... God was just trying to show you something my Friend :) The most interesting one I experienced though would have to be on 05/01/2009 when we had no fellowship that night and I was able to go to the praise night of my softball league and I experience a visual spiritual-distortion of the magnitude of Acts 9 and that night God also sent a guest speaker who just told the story of MY life up there on the altar; the theme that night also was very Purpose Driven Life Day 1 as well...

At the conclusion of the season, when I was at the closing banquet, there was also this one part during the side show where there was this one song by Taylor Swift I had never heard before so I didn't realize at first that "TEAM CAPTAIN and I'm on the bleachers" was the wrong lyric and perhaps another audio distortion. Reminds me of that time when I my friend got really upset that I thought she was telling me seminary is "bridle-college" because that's honestly what I heard though. I also heard the voice of God call my name that very same night so I know it's not a coincidence... Anyhow later on, *3* of the brothers in Christ on my team beside me started singing it, I also asked my co-captain JT, to "sing it", but she refused. So it was just those *3* guys...Being inspired by that, I've decided to write a more "Christian-Friendly" edition of the song as you know I often do...

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that He said
'Cause she doesn't get your humour like I do...

He's in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
Listening to the music Satan doesn't like
And He'll know your story like I do...

But she has short flirts, Jesus T-shirts
That TEAM CAPTAIN sitting on the bleachers
Dreaming of the day when You wake up and find...
That what He's looking for has been there the whole time

If you could see that He's the one who understands us
Been there all along... so what can't you see...?
We..., we belong with Thee, we belong with Thee...

Walking the parks with you and your worn-out teams
I can't help thinking this is how He ought to see
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this J...C...?

And She's got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since He brought it down
You say you're fine, But He knows better than that
Hey, whatcha doing with no girl like that?

She likes high feels, I wear sneakers
That TEAM CAPTAIN sitting on the bleachers
Dreaming of the day when You wake up and find...
That what He's looking for has been there the whole time

If you could see that He's the one who understands us
Been there all along... so what can't you see...?
We..., we belong with Thee, we belong with Thee...

Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
_____, you belong with me..., you belong with me...

Oh, I remember me driving to her house in the middle of the night (to drop off THE FULL-PACKAGE)
He's the one who makes me laugh when He knows I'm about to cry
And we know His favourite songs and You tell me 'bout your dreams
Lord He knows where you belong, Lord I know it's with me

If you could see that He's the one who understands us
Been there all along... so what can't you see...?
We..., we belong with Thee, we belong with Thee...

You belong with Thee...
Have you ever thought just _____
You belong with Thee?
You belong with Thee.....

Hehe, reminds me also of last week when we went out to celebrate a DELAYED AY's B-day and we also watched a "Christian-Friendly" version of something...

(8) These are the days of Elijah... (8)

My softball season this year was off to a start of pretty much undefeated-ness and a determined team who was initially very committed to coming to not one, but two practices a week. But then God intervened and we were down some very key players during the tournament and lost by 1 run to the team that won the tournament in quarter finals, man, reminds me of when Dunamis also lost by 1 to Canaan... "It hurts... doesn't it? You can't BELIEVE what fell..." But eventually I got OFF the bleachers during the "bottom of the ninth... bases loaded..." and finally won me that tournament after all...
