Oxy the Moron

Now we are in the mts. of N. Luzon, Baguio City. Rainy in dry season just like Manila. The wedding last Sat. went off relatively smoothly except the candle lighter laid his lit candle down and could have burn down the table with a huge antique Bible on it - so sacred to the rented church we couldn't move it for the wedding. Fortunately I saw the fire and put it out quickly - I watch for that having had experience... I forgot to pray over the couple before the pronouncement so I gracefully slipped it in before the picture taking... Sunday is a bit of a blure but the Fire of God meeting that night was a kind of a reunion/anniversary with the affiliated churches coming together, young people leading fabulous worship, the founders, Ben and Carmelita saying nice things about us, Ben singing without his front tooth which unbeknowst to him fell out while he was singing in the morning service. I said nice things about Ben and Carmelita, then preached for 20 minute and got everyone up to pray. Glory rained and the end worship turned into a slam dance...
After 2 days visiting relatives, etc while staying in a water park without swimming, we drove 7 hrs. to the mts. (4-30)Today was the first of 2 days of extention Bible school "Principles of Revival". Are there such things? I was the ox that came up with the title. Diane ended the teaching with a call for people to come forward if they wanted to receive an increased anointing, if they were hungering for more. Most of the 100 students came forward.
Theorectically Saturdy is a day off, Sunday at church here, after lunch ride the bus back to Manila, repack for the umpteenth time and Monday a 4:50AM flight to Zamboanga City in the south to see our son, Don, the kids and friends there. May not have another post til we get home.

Last Tuesday Andres family took us to lunch up a small mountain to a hotel. On the way in the middle of no where we crested a ridge and there was this little store with a huge sign 'Convenience Store'. We all busted up laughing. Rino said it was formerly a coffee shop that went bankrupt. Do we do church like that?
That's all for now. By this time next week the people here will saying of me, "The swine flew."
