Time-lines
Ok, Ok, series of events the last 3 days:
Monday
Morning
-I reflect on why I am so depressed
-I reflect on why my friends at church are depressed
-I reflect on why the church has not been growing (both spiritually and in numbers)
-I conclude that we must be oppressed by some spiritual force. ie. Satan's little devils are doing commendable work.
Evening
-I regress to find fulfillment in the activities my sinful nature calls for
-I read Jackon's comment on prayer. "I actually ended up praying that God would not let me dream about "certain" things... it worked! :)"
-I recieve a small vision to organize the boys for some kind of weekly prayer party, to pray against this spirit of oppression.
-I tell God to piss off
Tuesday
Morning
-feel sick in the stomach
-head to Strathmore
Afternoon
-Partner Teacher sends me home in fear that I'll hurl, thus causing him to hurl
-Get home, fall asleep
-Wake up, to vomit, a lot.
-Repent (Some of my best times of repentence are over the toilet).
-Resolve to follow through with vision
Wednesday
Morning
-Felt a lot better
-Read Josh's blog, pertaining to the recent miracles he's been delivered through, through prayer
-Met up with my old friend and mentor, Shawn, who unknowing of my situation, began sharing his experiences with corporate prayer, and the power it entails
-Told Shawn of my recent state of events
-Shawn flips out, says: "Jonny, if God gave you a vision, that means HE has a vision for your church. Something will happen to your church..." he said some extremely profound things, along with some sound effects, but I can't remember them verbatim
But if this is from God, then Dang! This is exciting. And He's been giving so many "subtle" hints... Lets see this in motion!

THat's great, Jon! =) Yay! =) I know it's been tough for me to fellowship with God lately. Passion is contagious. =) Keep passin' it on. =)
Maybe I'll start some prayer chain thing here for you JONNY and ccefc..
I could always use prayer...
Here are some things you can pray for me about:
wealth,
prosperity,
good health,
popularity,
easy life,
Hmm, I guess that's good for now :)

Hey Jonny, do I get a free set up for my bass from Long and Mcquade still?
So does that mean... within a year of purchase date? on the exact date a year from purchase date? or anytime after a year after purchase date? haha, just checking. :P
Assuming you bought the guitar in Jan. X, 2006, then, you can bring the guitar in anytime before Jan. X, 2007, X being the date of which you purchased the guitar :)
Thanks a bunch man
yeah, talking to shawn is always an uplifting experience. i can so picture him talking animatedly.
