The Senior Banquet is coming back! What is the Senior Banquet you ask? Well it is a special event we hold for the seniors to honor them for all the hard work they have done and the major accomplishment they did by graduating High School. It is a free event for all seniors and their parents, its catered and it is oh so tasty. It is a blast trust me!
But wait, what is the sound of that, all the under class men sadden that they are not seniors... Well they are invited too! I mean someone has to serve the food :) That's right as the seniors, their parents, and the leaders dine, all freshman, sophomore, and juniors will be dressed oh so lovely and serving us some delicious food. Trust me its fun, I remember back in the day serving at 3 seniors banquets before it was my turn to feast. Trust me it will be a great day.
Wait, what is this to my left? Is that the Mexican State Flag? Why would Evan place that here? Well my friends it is because we are going on a mission trip to Mexico. Go back with me in time to a month ago. I stood on the stage and announced the winners of the Weekend would get a free event, well here it is. I will be picking up the cost for any one who was on the Table Tennis Team to go on this mission trip, and I will be announcing the cost for everyone very soon. What will we be doing in Mexico. Well an orphanage is going to be opening very soon and they need some help getting all things ready. And hopefully we will be able to go back and see all the work we did and how it benefited all the kids there soon!
So when is all this happening? Well here is the schedule. Friday May 23rd is the Senior Banquet. After the banquet all students will stick around and we will spend the night at Ocean Hills. Then early in the morning we will pack up the cars and drive south. We will be in Mexico that entire Saturday and return late Saturday night.
Update:Laws have been changing for b order crossing, at the time of our trip the new law requires all people 18 and younger will need a photocopy of their birth certificate and that is it. It does not need to be a certified copy. Those 18+ will need a copy of birth certificate and a drivers license. Or you can bring a passport and that is good for everyone!
3 of our fantastic frequency leaders are doing the most amazing of
jobs leading worship. We are truely blessed by the band we have at
Frequency every week.
revelation. (got through chapter 18) and yes I study at burger king,
my office, and the roof. But as I sipped my happy meal cup filled with
Vault, I notice this label on the cup: " save a tree, grab only as
many napkins as you need." just thought I'd share that.
You may have noticed the curtain has been removed recently in the Frequency Room. Well thats because we are putting the ultimate final touches on the room. We only moved in last August, its been less that 1 year since we've been there, but it seems like so much longer. But we are finishing all the little things that we never got to. Relocating wires, touch up painting, molding, lighting fixes, and a few more things. When we're all done it will be beautiful in there!
married this morning. It was a lovely wedding. And it's April's
birthday.
So for April's birthday I surprised her with a trip to Costa Rica. She
was completely surprised! We leave tonight and return Saturday, so
please keep us in your prayers.
took me a while to find it and it was twice as hard as the 5x5x5 cube
but it has been solved.
So we had a wonderful little discussion last night on different translation theories. The question arose of in Revelation 11:15 the NKJV (and KJV) has the word "Kingdoms" while the NIV version has written "Kingdom". I promised to do my due diligence and here it is. Of the 8 translations I read, only the NKJV translates it as "Kingdoms". But what is most important to me is what does the Greek say. Below I have pasted the verse in Greek. There are 4 rows, the first two are the Greek Version, the third line is the english translation, and the 4th line is how to intrepret the original greek. For the word "Kingdom(s) we see the Greek word is NFSN. Noun, Feminine, Singular, Nominative. We see earlier in the verse the word voices. NFPN. Noun, Feminine, Plural, Nomanative. That is why in this version voices is plural and not written as "voice". So in my opinion in this instance the word is best translated Kingdom, singularly. However we must remember that in context we are talking about the united Kingdoms of the world. So is one better than the other, in my opinion, nope.

Also i did research on the temple seen in chapter 11. Here is an excerpt from a commentary that explains everything.
The temple here will be constructed so that orthodox Jews can offer sacrifices according to the Mosaic Law in the period in the first half of the seven-year period known as Daniel?s 70th week. At the beginning of the 42-month Great Tribulation, however, the sacrifices will stop and the temple will be desecrated and become a shrine for the world ruler of the Great Tribulation who will put an idol in it and proclaim himself to be God (cf. Dan. 9:27; 12:11; 2 Thes. 2:4; Rev. 13:14-15).
