Patmos has started.

Well folks it has been almost 8 months since we talked about starting this boot camp. The students are here and they all know what they have signed up for, most of it. Sunday (22nd) was the kick off day. They were woken up (at 5 am), for a prayer walk, (around the Camp). Then at 7:15am., was time for some breakfast. At 8 am (all staff) plus, went up stairs (Barn) and Pastor Chet, welcomed all and he did a name game. This was, take your first name letter, T for me. Then put a word that begins with that T, before your name and after it. Example, Happy Heather Hops. Mine was Trying Tom’s Time. If you know me I am always trying to fix it and I am consner about time. So now the game begins, Heather started and every student had to remember everyone’s name and what they said. It was a great time to meet all of them, and remember their names. By Gods grace, Pastor Chet came to me and just asked me what my name was. It is so funny how during all this time I was really trying to remember what they all said. Then after that we had a time to reflect on the rules and why we are all here. That night Pastor Fidel, taught on Rev. 1:9, this is the area that John is taken to Patmos and why God did what He did. There are so many places that he went to, and used a lot of items that we all can understand. Example, tea bag, the only way to know what kind of tea is in there is, boiling the water and sticking it in. Most of the time God does this with us. No Lord I don’t want to do that or it is to hot. But when you put the bag in the water then you can enjoy the flavor. Another example nail and hammer, the nail cries out don’t hit me, but if you don’t hit him you can not make a great looking piece of future. It is the hand you need to look at. That is example God’s hand making something. So next time you feel the water getting hot or the way people hit you. That is God trying to shape, sand and mold you. Well I have talked enough now. See you later on.
