A land flowing with Horchata and ceramic batmans...

I am not exactly sure why ceramic batmans are made. But the person in the white mini van in front of me bought one. In case you are wondering what I am talking about, I will tell you. On Saturday, me, Marco and Scott went to Tecate, Mexico to minister to about 60 pastors kids and youth leaders. It was awesome! I shared a brief word on stepping into your destiny and then made a call to the kids who wanted to get prayed for, they ALL responded. The Holy Spirit fell and began to work through all of us as we prayed and prophesied over each of them. It doesn't matter where you go in the world, the Holy Spirit and Presence of God is the same. He's not limited by language or cultural barriers, once He manifests (making the invisible, visible) everyone knows it.
So it was a powerful service many lives were touched and the Holy Spirit was speaking to these young men and women. After we finished praying we worshiped and then went and had an enormous lunch, paella, salad, rolls, etc. It was a nice way to top off the day.

One of the funnest things about going to mexico aside from the afore mentioned items is the line to get across the border. I have always wondered if there was a surplus of "last supper" ceramic pieces. As we waited in line I must've seen at least ten vendors peddling their goods (or attempting to) to anyone who would look in their direction. I saw one guy frantically running back and forth to the white van mentioned earlier. It seems they had both won. The van got an enormous ceramic batman sculpture and the vendor had sold it (almost free, I am sure). Do you think there is a giant warehouse in mexico that manufactures all of those items? How many NFL sarapes can there be? (a sarape is blanket with a hole for your head to go thru) They did have some new items this time, a glass vase-like item that everyone was trying to sell, almost free for you. I love it. Marco (who's from TJ, currently lives at USD) got a diablito, little devil, a combination of lime and mango ice; then they pour a hot sauce with chili pepper and a tamarindo laden straw. I tried some, it wasn't bad except for the hot sauce and chili pepper! Some things do not go on flavored ice. Needless to say he regretted getting the diablito, or rather his stomach regretted it. A good time had by all.

Summer Interns starts on Tuesday. It's going to be so much fun. Also, beach day on Friday, the 15th. See you Thursday night!

  • As the Bible says...

    WE WILL INHERIT THE LAND...

    and all the ceramic batmans, just like it says in the Bible.

    If you aren't familiar with the passage, maybe you should read your Bible a little more !

  • Are you all ashamed to leave your name? Fear no longer people, confess who you are. There is liberty in Christ!
