Good Morning. I should be at school right now because I really am not experiencing this jet lag thing, but I will go later today. I got back from Europe yesterday and totally had no Easter, other than candy. :-\ I have missed two Sundays and miss everyone bunches. I have decided that it is not where you go but who you go with, And if the person you go with has an Aunt that comes too, it really sucks. I hate when I don't think about things ahead of time. I missed everyone lots!
But anyway pray for the Czech Republik, becaus they are going to hell. Only really, the communists basically told the nation that religion is for the weak and ignorant because it got in their way. It would give the people hope and make them concentrate on something that is not happening right then. 95% of the Czech Republic is athiest. That scares me, and most of Europe is like this. I thought the US was bad. But really, people who don't know God are going to die and go to hell. I have a lot of friends who will and that makes me sad, but I keep trying.
Abby you said something yesterday about evangilizing people, and if they don't change right then, then we aren't truely showing Jesus right there. and rightousness ect ect... Good stuff... And I know how to become more and more rightous but sometimes I just don't want to. I tell myself that I don;t have time to read. When I was stuck on a plane for 8 hours though, I found time. God should stick me on planes more often; I need to stickmyself in places like that. But of course he sticks me next to someone who doesn't speak English or already knows Jesus... I don't think people plan on dying, which is good, but we need to know what happens after we do, and know where our loved ones will be. Mood: discouraged but not apathetic.
None of that made real sense ...but this is what I remember doing in Europe anyway:
I touched the Berlin Wall! That was super exciting.
I saw a concert in Vienna! The Viennese Mozart Orchestra, but they had Opera singers and that wasn't so cool..only two Trumpets..
I walked EVERYWHERE! Which was neat, and every where you go someone i playing some sort if instrument.
I saw the Palace of Wilhelm the Great, that was neat for me.
I saw quite a few castles/palaces and many nice churches- not occupied.
A lot of tours around cities and museums. I was disapointed in the Jew museum in Berlin. I went to the Charlis Checkpoint Museum, that was very interesting.
I don't remember a lot of what happened, but I know you were wondering.
I think I will go to school sooon now. I will call Mrs. Irvine later today about ICHTHUS! No matter what happens be excited, because we are going! You too Will! Sorry for this waste of space!
Spring

Sounds like Europe was kind of an eye opener. I'm glad you embarked on this. I know you're mature enough. A lot of Christians are judgemental. We look at ourselves as being good people because we so often compare ourselves to other people. So going to Europe and hearing about the 95% that are atheist could make you assume you're well off. But you're mature enough to know we're pretty sickly when compared to Jesus.
Then evangelising is intence. It's hard. But that website opened my eyes kind of. It said "the best way to evangelise point blank is to show them Jesus". None of us can compare to Jesus' holiness. But when we evangelise with him backing us up there is power behind what we're saying. For instance... IHOP... They are so awesome and amazing spiritually because they have the power of God and the power in the gospel through night and day prayer. It's intense because God is real and He wants us to succeed in evangelising. Problem is, we don't put first the one and only successor. so how can we expect to succeed at anything?
