(Here is a freaky fish from the zoo)
(Here are two elephants, mom and child, on a scale at the zoo, look times at how much they weigh!!)
Well, here I go again...So, last weekend (July 14-16), my family was in D.C. Here we stayed in the Wardman Park Marriot and my parents attended meetings concerning their internet business. While they were in meetings, my little sister and I hung out. The first evening we meandered down the street and found a Chipotles' Mexican Restaurant(Caleb, is you mouth watering?), I actualy had never eaten at one before. Also, they were not bloomin expensive:-) So, I got a ummm...thing-a-majig...a tortilla with beef, lettuce, and stuff...pretty good...Mexican food...we ate and visited, good
times!!
The next day(Sat.) mom, dad, my little sis, and myself took a Metro into the Mall area. We went to the Art Museum and hit the Natural History Museum where we saw the IMAX, "Aliens of the Deep". They kepton referring to the earth being Billions of years old. I don't think so. *that reminds me, remember Ken Ham and the song that guy would sing, "Millions of dead things buried in rock layers, laid down by water, all over the earth...* Ok, excuse the tangent (Eh, Mr. P;-)
Mom and Dad had to leave for some more meetings so they headed back and my sis and I hung around a bit. We then had the adventure of taking the Metro all the way back, no problem. That night we ate at a chinese restaurant.
Sunday morning we packed up. That morning the people running the meetings that mom and dad had been going to had a Church Service, lots of people were there. We got there to the meeting kinda late, but what we saw was neat. The host and his wife gave their testimony and then had an Altar Call, alot of people went forward. After people went forward my dad sang "Watch the Lamb"http://www.rayboltz.com/project_pages/WatchTheLamb/watch_the_lamb.php... Awesome!!!
After the church service, my sis and I went to the Zoo:-) It sure was HOT. We walked allot...saw animals...walked...saw more animals...and got hot.
Well, that was last weekend...I'll do another post for this week. Until then Adios, Sayonara, Tata...

Memories :-)
Here today I am going to relate to ya'll some funny memories from my life.
Memory #1) When I was in 3rd grade I went to a public school in Maine. There they made quite a big thing about Earth Day. I remember memorizing songs for an Earth Day program. One song went like this:
Earth Earth baby, your the only one, the only Earth I've ever known under the sun
I'll fly with you wherever you go, I want, I want, I want to tell you
I love you so, I love you so.
Earth Earth baby, I love everything about you, Earth Earth baby, I couldn't live without you
You are so awesome, your a dream come true
Earth Earth baby, I will always love you...
Isn't that a riot. I remember that when we performed this at the Earth Day program I had a jean jacket on with the collar flipped up and sunglasses.
Memory #2)
My sister will love me for this one:-)
One day my sister and myself were on our way to a soccer game. We were driving on the high-way when I saw a truck pulling a car. I said to my sister, "Look at that". And she replied, "Thats not very safe". She didn't notice that one was towing the other, it looked to her that one car was tailgaiting the other.
Memory #3)
You may remember from my first post that I went to Okinawa, Japan in 2003. Well, while in Okinawa my mission team visited an English classroom at a primary school. Here we were split up into small groups and went to different "stations"(one group did origami). My group went to a "station" where some girls showed us the Shumisen(something like that). It had 4 strings and no frets, kinda guitarish.
After these "stations" we performed a funny skit for the students called the "Catch All" (I wont explain it now, but if you want to know what the "Catch All" skit is then post it in the Comments and I'll explain). After that 10 of us missionaries made a line facing 10 Okinawan students. We then took turns playing "Jon, Ken, Pon"(Rock, Paper, Scissors) with the person right across from us. The winner would ask the other a question in English(we had a sound box, so the Questions and Answers were said into the mic).
*This is where it gets interesting ;-)*
After we had gone down the line, the teacher of this English class asked, "Are there any more Questions?", and me, with my Western ear thought she said, "Are there any Christians?" (remember, this lady had quite the Japanese accent). I saw a few of the Okinawan students raise their hands and thought it sad that there were only a few Christians in this group.Of course, all of us missionaries raised our hands. Then she said, "Okay we are going to go down the line and say our Questions" (and I'm thinking she's saying, "Okay we are going to go down the line and say we're Christians.").
So, I was first in line. I took the mic. Stood up. And I said, "I Am A Christian!!!"
I will never live this down. I remember our Team Leader gathering us all together and saying, "Hey guys, guess what, I Am A Christian."
Don't be surprised if someone says, "Any Questions?" and I say, "I am a Christian" :-)
Memory 4.)
You might not think this very funny, you just had to be there!
Well, it was my first year of Bible School up in NH. Also, I am one of those people who like to Scare people. One evening I was heading up to the dorm and I knew my buddy was behind me(and the dorm was dark). So I went into the dorm and sat right by the door. When my buddy came in I grabbed his leg.......he let out an AWESOME SCREAM!!!!! LOL, he was heard by a guy in the main house (where we have our dinners)....
Ok, thats all for now, hope you enjoyed it.

I am waiting here for my image to upload. Man, sure takes a bit, probably don't help that we have dial-up. We might get to have DSL in 6ish months, hurray!!! Hmmmm...so, church was good today (7-9-06). The pastor talked about how God brings us through tests (like God asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and then providing a ram{Gen. 22:1-18}) to see where our relationship with Him is or to see if we understand what we have learned from Him. Also, God will provide whatever you need in your "Test" to accomplish His will. Good stuff huh?
Still waiting. I tell you, this is going Slower Than A Slick Slug on Salt!!!
Got a new Cd recently by Mercy Me called "Comming up to Breathe", I'm enjoying it!! (please forgive me as I keep on blabbing on about random stuff as I wait for my pic). Test drove a BMW on Friday. The engine is Awesome, quiet and powerful. The bad things about it are 1.)Its a low rider, thus driving it over back roads will eat it up 2.)The sunroof needs a new wire to make it work 3.) One panel with the speaker is off one side and on the other side the panel is real loose.
I'm thinking I probably wont buy this one, we'll see?
Well, the picture isn't working for me tonight, I'll try some other time, until then, Hasta Luego.

(Hiking to the Waterfall) (The Waterfall)
So, this week from Wed.-Sat. I was planning on going to a HUGE Christian gathering in Penn. called Creation. There was supposed to be about 20 Christian bands and 10 speakers and over 100,000 people. I was pretty excited about it, some people from church (about 20) were gonna go and camp. Than :-(....it was
CANCELLED because of
the rain. I think we should just go up
and kayak.
I tell you, this computer is ANNOYING. I was working on this blog and just lost a whole lot, RATS!!!!! Oh well.
As I was saying. As a result of not having Creation there was a get together at our house. Friday night we ate some food that was going to be used at Creation. I also set up our Big sound system and a projector and watched "8 Below" in our "outdoor theater(our neighbor did call saying it was too loud). The movie was good; courage, bravery, sadness, loyalty, good stuff.
The next day some of us went hiking to a BEAUTIFUL waterfall near our house, lots of fun. I then jogged back gome (lots of sweat).
Well, dad and I are pretty close to finishing up the "rough-in" of an addition which is bigger than the original house. The owner is a plastic surgeon too. Dad says that this is the most difficult or complex job he has done in his 25 years of electrical (there's all these dimming systems, and we're using wire wrapped in metal, etc...). Ok, enough.
Pray for my sister who is heading off to Thailand to teach in a school with refugee children. This is a mission trip, and she leaves on the 5th.
Happy 4th of July, God Bless You ALL!!!
