Epic...

You could hear it even from a distance, the sound of rushing water like many waterfalls. Upon entering this fact is very true. There are four great waterfalls pouring in from all sides forming a shallow pool on the floor. As the water rippled out across the smooth surface it would splash against the walls and leap up in licks of flame and a puff of smoke. Against the west wall where one of the falls was gushing, magma crept up against gravity and disappeared in a haze of smoke, crackling and popping.

The people mingling about were conversing and laughing and many shuffled their feet in order to splash others. The music gave a start and the people began dancing. As water splashed about, zaps of electricity would bounce about from person to person. Some angels wandered in and stretched out on the ground heaving sighs relaxation as the many pounding feet massaged their great backs.

The ceiling suddenly turned black like space and then shredded in two as another fountain rained down. Up above the heavenly host laid on their belly’s at the edge, they set to smiling and waving. And then the music began to boom making the vertical fountain form into steps. In time with the music a pair of great feet, belonging to someone taller than a building, descended the liquid steps. He stopped at the foot of the steps and surveyed the scene.

Amidst the crowd Jesus sauntered too and fro high fiving and hugging bystanders as people swarmed about to wish Him congratulations. The mob sent up a great cheer as the song came to an end.


And that’s what service looked like today! Church was great!!!

English Class!

One of my dear amazing epic friends, known as Penguin, is such a wonderfully caring person. She created a whole class, teaching English as a second language for free, for any one in her neighborhood that wants to learn. It's amazing! she's put all the lesson plans together and the class keeps growing. I believe now there's about fifteen students in total.
Penguin is also nice enough to let me volunteer once a week. Since her students are family folks I get to keep an eye on all the kids while their parents learn one of the hardest languages in the world...it truly is. I have such a hard time with it and its the only language that I know.

The other day we all went outside to take advantage of the lovely amazing weather, and I saw a most wonderful sight. At the far end of the play ground stood one of those giant trees with little white blossoms all over. Every time there was a gust of wind, the blossoms would float off in a snowie manner, and as a game the kids were running all over trying to catch the petals. Also I saw some of the little girls pulling the branches lower so as to reach the flowers and dress up each others ponytails.

At first I was thinking of how much like a fairytale the whole scene was, but then it occurred to me how much like heaven that was. That's what Jesus lives for, is to make His children blissfully happy enjoying His creation. I pictured the giant soldier angels posted around the playground making sure the children played undisturbed. And the ones by the trees were shaking the branches and laughing as the kids skittered and dove after the petals.

It was a wonderful day and I'm glad to have been apart of it. Hope this post blessed the reader.

THE END!
