Jew Playing Hoops?

Hello yall,

Its been a few weeks since i posted one of these blogs, but I am ready to attempt another.
Life in Lima, has been a good time. From Church, to Bible school, to being with the body to living in the team house with a bunch of people you never really knew before. Its a life that if God opens a door for you to do, its a must. I am sure wherever you go you have different scenarios of course but its all about the life your going for. We are looking for Gods life, and where that is all the other stuff doesn t really matter. A house is a house, food is food, cities are cities, its all the same to the person looking for the Life of God. (dont get me wrong I love the beach right down the street and the perfect 85 degrees. Ha, its so good). We are a people that are just moving through this life, we leave homes, land s , familys, children, wifes and husbands to look for the city that isnt built with hands. Whose builder and maker is God, whose foundation can not be moved. We taste the life from God, we knew that this life is where our home is. His life is so good. Psalm 63:3 "Your loving kindness is better then life, so my lips shall praise you". This is the life that we have been having here in Peru. Acts class a couple weeks ago, Stambo started the class off by having the class go to the roof of our church building to have prayer. We were over looking the city of lima and we all sensed God with us and having the feeling of what is going here with us is so much bigger then us. That we are so small in who we are and what we are doing but in Gods life we are Giants. We didnt want to leave, we just loved what was going on. We then went back to the class room were we continued in this life. Stambo had a great class, then I taught the last hour. I was so pumped after the class that I couldnt go to sleep that night. I was going to do some laps around the hood, but we have got this drunk dude that hangs out in front of our house and sings all night..(For a drunk guy he actually carries a decent tune) He is harmless, but i didnt feel like dealing with him. So I settled for staring at the ceiling rehearsing the night... Thinking that if you have Gods life you can be anywhere. You can be in the deserts of Africa, the islands of the South Pacific, the jungle of South America, or in downtown Dundalk. Where God puts us, mabey we dont like it at first but if we have his life with the body of christ, those dislikes will fade away. That I am not sustained by the local starbucks or beach down the street that I like. My pleasure doesnt come from the comfort that I form around me. My real satisfaction comes from beholding God daily. Thinking his thoughts toward me toward my life and toward others. His living word in us...

Living in the team house has been a great time. P. Stan is the man. He is allot of fun to be with. He is a great pastor, preacher and teacher. The people in the church love him.. We have a good time in the house... P. Stan , Stambo, and I have allot of battles on the b-ball court. We have a couple friends down at the local court so we have some heated battles. We were actually down there today, I dont want to talk about who won... Momma Collins is awesome, She is a woman that knows how to wip up some good grub. I have been here a month and you would think she would start recycling through the meals, Nope.The Hot new meals just keep rolling out of the kitchen, they dont stop. So good.. Stambo is the man. He is the walking Bible. You can ask the guy anything and he will give you chapter and verse, its unreal (He is the type of guy you want to sit next too in a Bible school test.. Ha ). We have been having a good time. We were down in the square tonight with the youth doing sketchboard. We have a good time out there with the youth, there at everything, its awesome.. We were coming home and he was telling that his Dad played for the Umass b-ball team with Dr. J... I told him that is hard to believe because I have never heard of a Jew playing Division 1 basketball, let alone on Umass with Dr.J... He said he rode the bench, basically there for high fives a couple of chest bumps and some moral support. We can all see P. Stambo on the side lines rooting on Dr. J. Popping in on Dr. J giving a post game interview for a couple lines.. That was more believable. P. Gary and Lecet Thorton have been down here for a week or so. They have been a great addition. They got a little something something that put them out of commish for a couple days (wasnt Momma Collins cooking, couldnt have been it is to good)...But They are back, a few pounds lighter, but back. P. Gary has given me and stambo a little work to make some cash.. It keeps us busy for a couple hours in the morning. We listen to these telemarketers call people and tell them that they have been selected for a 500 dollar gift certificate from them if they sign up for a 14 day trial with this insurance company for 1.95... So we have to listen to them to make sure that the people actually agree to the terms that were told to them. Me and Stambo have been laughing for the past 3 days, they are so good.. They call people all over the country, my Favorites are from either Georgia, or Tennessee. The deep southerns dont put up with there whole pitch.. They call "Bull" every time. Those southerns are real gems..... Continue praying for the team down here......

.I dont know who is reading these blogs, but thanks for the reading support. Ha, what ever that means.. Thanks for the emails, prayers, and calls. I have never checked my email so much in my life. Its nice to get a shout from you guys..... We are not only believing the Bible, we are living The Bible, We are walking Bibles... C.T. Studd said We are not chocolate soldiers that melt when the heat comes, we our Spiritual soldiers that have the Bible installed in us.... Love you guys God bless..
