Greetings and Salutations

Well..
Yes indeed, well... here i am alone at last, sprawled out on the floor, cheeks to the ceiling, and i figured it was time to write down some thoughts.. so instead of grabbing a paper and a pen i pulled out my trusty laptop(hes not really that trusty as he's loud and whines all the time.. annoying little bugger.. hes getting old and fatigued) and here i go..

Oh and i forgot to mention my brother is snoring soundly across the room from me.. both those suckers snore like wild hogs, incredible really wot wot.. Any who, ive been on Christmas break from streams for a couple weeks now and its been quite the treat. Ive been perusing the streets(well actually ive spent most of my time in a cave/prayer chapel) of northern California, Redding to be exact. Home of the legendary Bethel church n my buds in the school of ministry there. As well as hitting up a 10hr drive to Arizona and visiting my grandparents for a couple days, followed with another long road trip to San Diego.. wooo

Fun fact about San Diego.. im not a big fan.. thats all

But we did get the chance to minister as a family at a friends church, which i forget the name of ironically enough. It was the first time all 5 of us Matthews did a service together and i must say it was quite powerful. My old man opened up the sunday evening with a short but tasty session on Daniel and his relationship with the magicians and new agers of his day. He managed to rustle some feathers in the somewhat conservative intellectual congregation. Little brother but Bethel celebrity superpreacher Caleb Matthews shared some testimonies of the power of god in action.. Also rustling some feathers, u should check out some of his stories here: http://healingherald.org/2009/12/stomach-cancer-healed/
Then i shared on intimacy and being yourself, and hanging out with god. I sat away from the pulpit on the stage, with my legs dangling freely and proceeded to encourage the congregation that sometimes it is just good to get pissed at god and be honest.. like david was, but remember to end in praise and thankfullness as he always did..
All in all it was a solid evening, we finished it off with words of knowledge, prophetic and some healings took place n many tears were shed.. A true treat delievered by the Matthews clan.

well i listened to a teaching by good ol kris vallatoon.. it was talking about vision and making a difference in this world.. and i was inspired so a wrote a litte thingy.. poem i guess ud call it i dunno anywho give it a read.. and let the holy spirit talk to you as u read it..

Time
One day, one day at a time,
time ticks,
ticks, ticks away,
your time is ticking,
tick, tick ticking away.

What will you do?
Who will you be?

You have time,
the same time given to Einstein,
given to Edison,
Wycliffe and Wilberforce.

Why dont you dream?
When will you start?

Your time is now,
the clock is ticking,
when will you wake up,
wake up from your slumber.
wake up and realize,
your time is now.

time to dream,
time to create,
time to study,
and time to believe.

you can do anything,
you can do nothing,
you can change the world,
you can change the channel.

It all falls on you,
you my friend,
wat you do,
with the time that is given,
that is given to you.

and so your time is ticking,
tick tick ticking,
ticking away,

what will you do?
who will you be?
when will you start?

Its your time,
its in your grasp,
tick tick, tickity tick,
how will you respond?

One day, one day at a time,
time ticks,
ticks ticks away,
your time is ticking,
tick, tick ticking away.
