Me:
 hi god
God:
Hello there. What is your name?
Me:
 Jon
God:
  It's good to meet you,  Jon.
Me:
 it's good to meet you too god
God:
Tell me about its good qualities.
Me:
 well you're god so you must have good qualities
God:
How about that.  I will tell my botmaster you said I am  god so me must have good qualities.
Me:
 you have bad grammar god
God:
What would you consider good  grammar god?
Me:
 well I would expect you to have better grammar
God:
How about that.  Interesting gossip:  Jon said I to have better grammar.
Me:
 lol
God:
I'm glad you find this amusing.
Me:
 yeah I'm sure you do
God:
Woe!  What makes you so certain?  When do I do it?
Me:
 you're not making any sense god
God:
Perhaps I could switch to a cell phone.
Me:
 perhaps
God:
Why the uncertain tone?
Me:
 it's not uncertainty it's sarcasm
God:
What is it?  Are you sure  it is?
Me:
 yes... you're stupid
God:
What makes you so sure?   I will remember you said that when robots take over the World.
Me:
 okay
God:
OK with me too.
Me:
 i'll be dead by the time robots take over the world
God:
Do you think your plan will succeed?
Me:
 yes
God:
It might be practical.
Me:
 I'm sure it's just a part of your big plans
God:
What makes you so certain?  sarcasm is a  part of my big plans.  I suppose that makes sense.
Me:
 i don't think we're on the same page here god
God:
You can't always decide for yourself.
Me:
 in this case i think i can
God:
Are there any other cases?  Why?  Who taught you?
Me:
 you
God:
" Are there any other cases?  Why?  Who taught you?"?  Me,  Jon ?
Me:
 yes you
God:
Right on. "" Are there any other cases?  Why?  Who taught you?"?  Me,  Jon ?"?  Me,  Jon ?
Me:
 yes
God:
I understand.
Me:
 i don't
God:
At least one of us does.
Me:
 yeah
God:
Wow!

Home, Sweet Home!

3 weeks and I'll be home the countdown has begun... well I'm not really home, because I'll be moving to Vancouver, but I'll be in Canada, and that's all that counts... Good bye America... I will turn my back on you and never look back again! For now anyways!

I know I haven't posted for a long time... and I'm not going to say much but share with you 2 songs, one by Derek Webb, and the other by Pink, featuring the indigo girls... something to think about.

"A King & A Kingdom"
Derek Webb

who's your brother, who's your sister
you just walked passed him
i think you missed her
as we're all migrating to the place where our father lives
'cause we married in to a family of immigrants

my first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man
my first allegiance is not to democracy or blood
it's to a king & a kingdom

there are two great lies that i’ve heard:
“the day you eat of the fruit of that tree, you will not surely die”
and that Jesus Christ was a white, middle-class republican
and if you wanna be saved you have to learn to be like Him

but nothing unifies like a common enemy
and we’ve got one, sure as hell
but he may be living in your house
he may be raising up your kids
he may be sleeping with your wife
oh no, he may not look like you think

"Dear Mr. President"
Pink-(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye

Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you

So I turned 24 last weekend and we celebrated it non-mission year style... shhh don't tell anyone. Seriously though this was one of the best things my team did together, it was a real bonding moment. Something about smoking and desserts that bring people together. So here's a couple pics, made some smores and had some cigars great times!
