Camping and much more...Friends
Here are some camping pictures!
This was a fun trip in which I got to Learn more about my friends and spent good time with them. I learned that Dino Maisano has the world's largest tongue and can hold half a cup of water in it forming a birdbath! Too bad there are not any pictures. I learned that Paul and I like to talk and walk a lot. and that Catherine Mcdonald thinks I'm cool! Had fun rolling down a hill of sand with Katy, Hannah, Abigail and faith.... maybe more... I ate stone soup! Dare base is a fun game... Christina says Obama in her sleep... Toni will talk to you in her sleep and forget what she says, unless you remind her... I think everyone learned NOT to let me be the narrator of Mafia or the game will drag on and on.... Dino likes to shoot people with little potatoes guns... Peter snores and sounds like a cat... oh ya... Toni likes to throw stuff at things.... Alex is just Alex and fun to be around...Beth has a the very memorable quote of, "Hey morgan"... I learned a lot about my friends. And a lot more than if i had just read a book about them all. Not to mention I had a lot a fun getting to know all of you people even more than before!
There are many things that I have done with God, we've written songs together, wrote papers together, gone on walks together and much more. Time after Time He reminds me that He's a person, in the sense that we can relate, just like all my friends. He reminds me that although His word is "His word" its not Him and should direct us to Him. I say that because at times I know I've read His word more out of a attitude to be "good" rather than to know God. Which with all of you I don't read your blogs thinking it's making me good, but I just get to know you. Although your blogs are helpful and figuring somethings out ( especial birthdays). Just as it's an adventure getting to know all of you people it's an adventure getting to know God, especially when we wash dishes together.
Which was when He told me,"If your not completely sold out to Me your walk is in vain." that makes me think. or another time when I felt like I wasn't hearing Him that well, "You will hear someone if you value them." that hurts. It's a good hurt. it's also invites adventure. A rich full life with many dangers... As in LOTR. With great pain, but great gain.
God and I have done a lot of things together. I don't intend to stop but to know Him more and more just I intend to know my friends, you guys, more and more in this adventure called life. Not just knowing "things" about each other, but actually knowing each other for who we all are. Most importantly Knowing who God is and him being our friend.
John 17:3 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent."
John 5:39 “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!"
JesusLovesMe,
Joshua

It is my goal to be a bright spot in the lives of others,
To express Jesus through music,
To be Free to Free others,
To go on when everyone else has stopped,
To be there for loved ones in this life.
Finally to live life as an adventure
in unity with the one true King,
then to look back at all that has come to pass and hear:
"Well done my good and faithful servant."
...in the presence of the heavenly clouds with the eagles flying above...
I am Joshua, son of the One True Living God,
Going after his heart,
Doing this all with passion.

You've got some really, really good stuff to say about people's relationships with God. It'd be cool to see you develop those thoughts even more. I heard that you're thinking about doing NCFCA, yeah?
