What a Wonderful World

Yikes.

That is about all I have to say about the school so far. It is so intense and so crazy and so vital and every single person who claims to know Jesus needs this school. It is a literal paradigm shift and not the way the church has thrown that world around so lightly. This is a time of training our minds to think a whole new way, look at the world in a whole new way and shift our heads into a completely different way of being.

So needless to say it is rather intense and full! I have taken about 30 pages of notes so far... in two days. We still have three full days left. And I mean FULL! Morning, afternoon, evening with minor breaks for meals. But it is SO GOOD!

I wanted to post some pictures for you all, but I forgot my camera up in the room where I'm staying. I don't want to wake my room-mates up either. They are so awesome. One from South Africa, one from Germany and one from England. Our accents are so crazy! I need to record us all saying the same sentence.

Yesterday I went running around in a field of heather. That stuff is crazy! I was wishing it wasn't raining and ultra windy and cold because I literally would have hurled myself down the hill. There is no way you could get hurt. It is like a giant cushy mountain of foam. Granted there are 300 year old walls placed here and there, but still... the heather outwieghs the danger!

I also sat in this nice little prayer chapel. Built totally out of natural materials. In 1888. What the heck??? 1888?? And that is one of the newer buildings around here.

What else to say? A lot, but I can't pick one thing. I may need to run away and hide for about a month after this. Allow my head to put all the pieces back together where apparently they were always supposed to be. I am very grateful for the training and teaching I got through Randy Clark and Bethel. For people who are not familiar with the Kingdom mindset or Kingdom Culture this would be much, much more difficult and shocking to their system. And there are those people present. I think we had a few blow outs yesterday afternoon... but it's good stuff. People are becoming who they were always called to be!

Your picture for the day is a little something you can buy at the Scottish Parliament. I think it is for stress relief and I'm betting some of the people at this school are wishing they had some close by. We are in the middle of the greatest whiskey region in the world, though...

Oh Great Scot!

Yes... I'm in Scotland. I've been here for a week now. And I still can hardly believe it. I'm beyond blessed. This house I'm in actually has some internet connection, but the time I have is much more lacking. I'm in the middle of the 1st day of this school and it is incredible so far.

But I thought I would at least try and update and let everyone know what is happening. I am keeping a journal so I'll update bits from there when I get home. Until then... hopefully I have more time soon and I'll do a good and proper update when I can.

Love to all! And to Scotland!

Then we'd write letters

Sometimes all I want to do is stick myself away somewhere far away and write. I'd write music. I'd write movies and musicals. I'd write books better then this world has yet seen. I'd write really long e-mails that you would love to read. I'd write letters on strange things and send them to you.

I'd like a nice little chalet up on top of a mountain. Preferably in Europe somewhere where life is slower, more meaningful, peaceful and full of culture. I'd invite you over and we'd sit on the porch taking in the amazing view. We'd comment on how our lives are much like a fairy tale or better yet, a dream come true.

We'd sit and watch the sun set. We'd stand in awe of the awesome power the starlight has on one's imagination and hope for things better. We'd wait until we were too cold and then move inside. Then we'd write letters. We'd write poems. We'd write songs and e-mails. We'd send them all over the world. We'd send them to you.

I bet you'd come. I'd make another bed up for you. Get everything right and perfect. Welcome you to the most peaceful place you've ever been. We would all get up really early, make amazing coffee or hot chocolate and watch the sun run through the valleys as it woke up the earth to kiss our face another day. We would all walk up to the peak over there and take in a sight only a select few have ever seen.

Then we'd sit and write letters. Letters to you. We'd write recipies for life. We'd tell tales of adventure and joy. We'd send you pictures, post cards and jars filled with the air of mountains. We'd ask you to come. I bet you would.

Soon we would all be there. Happy. Running. Dancing. Sitting. Playing. Napping. Laughing. Enjoying. Tasting awe once again. And we would all write letters. We'd write stories and plays. We'd write movies, e-mails, songs and dances. We'd paint, take pictures and make sandcastles somehow.

You'd come. You'd come if you knew what it was really like. I'll send you a letter.
