Leme tell you what, this weekend blessed my socks off! I spent since last thursday with 40 some young adults at my church studying the Word and hanging out and it was about the best time in the world.

I just sent someone a message starting with that because its the truth. God Word is so freaking awesome, I must of smiled the entire weekend!

I witnessed and took part in a number of healings, I even got one myself! I loved every single word of the teachings.

Here’s part of another message I just sent: (like inbetween starting and finishing this post - that’s what you call multitasking ;)

I got so freaking blessed, if I tell you it all I’ll write a novel, and more pressing, if not important, I’ll not finish my homework on time. but here’s a quick overview: there was teaching on searving, running a fellowship, practical aspects of living (planning, budgeting, not trying to do more than you can handle, busy), how to study the Word and let it interpret itself, how Jesus Christ fufilled every jot and tittle of the law but didn’t pay much attention to jewish custom/tradition/predjuice when it impared moving the word (the samaritan woman - no one else would of spoken to her because a) she was a samratin, and b) she was a woman), and there was tons more stuff!

Beyond the teachings we just had an awesome time fellowshipping together, the entire group (43 peeps) had that maturity level that [just freaking blew me away!]

This year’s fellow laborers are freaking awesome! I love every one of em! I’m setting up a web site for them, www.fellowlaborers.org [check the outgoing links on the site]

And, on the topic of fellowlaborers, I decided that I’m going to do it next year! Along with me, so far, We have Francis Cardullo, Daniella Rich, Toni Aiken, and Amanda LeBlanc! And thats 10 month in advance! next years gonna be so awesome!

Coming up sooner, I intend to make a trip down to Florida coming up in December and this time It’s gonna be all fellowshipping time - not “thanks for breakfast, bye.” I’m thinking at least a week, maybe two. Tommy Andrews Invited me down for up to 5 days so I’m definitely spending some time with him, I’m welcome to stay with Mike Shannon and Sam Wilkenson if they have a house, so I’m believing that Gods gonna bless them with an awesome place in no time (I’d be believing for that even if I wasn’t coming down), beyond that, I’ll make time for wherever I’m welcome.

anyways, to the people were there, and quite a few who didn’t make it, I love you all, You’re Gods Best! I have homework to do…

Another gem from Rick Rohl:

The questions below about Australia are from potential visitors.  They were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a sense of humour.

                                    *                                    *

So theres this guy named Mil Milington, right. He did a site called Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About. He’s also written a few books. In addition to that he sends out an email to his mailing list whenever he gets around to it. And he just got around to it.

Here’s a quick excerpt:

Our retinae screen different images. Her eyesight is freer, with less clichéd loci of attention, and it’s definitely no slave to either the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum or commonly-held laws of Physics. Illustratively, last night I’m driving home when, from the passenger seat, she points ahead at a car that’s driving towards us and shouts, “Watch out! That car’s on the other side of the road!”

“So?” I reply. “Oncoming cars are supposed to be on the other side of the road. That’s why we don’t run into them. You probably ought to shout only if you see one on our side of the road.” For clarity, I helpfully explain a key fact about yelling out warnings: “It’s all about picking your targets, really.”

She huffs at this nit-picking. (Oh, the car was on the other side of the road, by the way. This wasn’t simply infuriating, semantic pedantry on my part - because, as you know, I don’t indulge in that kind of behaviour.) And, for her view from the driver’s seat, we need go back only a few days. We’d been to the solicitor to complete our wills (yeah, we know how to party). In the car minutes later, Margret suddenly and rapidly asks me, “Are the wills in force now?” She asks this in conjunction with abruptly accelerating powerfully towards a set of changing traffic lights. I’m sure she’d call this ‘making an informed decision’. Having different priorities, I yelped an answer that may not have been legally correct, but it was the one I felt increased my chances of not needing to be cut from the vehicle by the emergency services. Call me boring, but when it comes to wills I like to play the long game.

a) You should.

b) if you live in Ohio and care either way about smoking laws, keep reading…

I got this in an email from Rick Rohl:

        Don’t be confused by the two issues on the upcoming Ohio ballot concerning smoking. Issues 4 and 5 are seemingly similar but in actuality completely different.

        Issue 4 is called Smoke Less Ohio. It is not Smokeless, but Smoke Less. It is backed by the tobacco industry, namely RJ Reynolds, and the alcohol industry. It would eliminate smoking in public places except bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, bingo halls, retail stores, offices, and factories. Not much of an elimination, is it?

        Issue 5 is called SmokeFree Ohio. It is much more effective, and is backed by the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, American Heart Association, and other health organizations. It eliminates smoking in all workplaces. Workers in restaurants, bars, and bowling alleys no longer have to inhale other people’s smoke. Patrons do not have to inhale the smoke either. Smokers can still enjoy their tobacco; they just cannot submit others to the second hand smoke that inevitably lingers in the air.

        The big catch is that Issue 4 is a constitutional amendment and Issue 5 is only a statute. This means that if both pass, Issue 4 trumps Issue 5. Issue 4 would nullify all of the local laws and ordinances that were already passed eliminating smoking in workplaces. It would also prohibit any local governments from passing any more laws to that effect. Issue 4 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It is trying to dupe Ohioans into helping the tobacco and alcohol industries from losing revenue from their bar and restaurant crowd.

So if you really would like to have all workplaces smoke-free, vote NO on Issue 4 and YES on Issue 5.

Be sure to tell everyone the difference between these two issues.

Ok, so besides this myspace blog and facebook notes, I have a real blog too. It’s called mistic.flame. And this blog gets some occasional trafic from various google, yahoo, and msn searches.
Being a real blog, it has real stats.
(this is not enough detail to count as real stats)
And included in this real stats,  it records, when avaliable, what exactly it was that they searched for to lead them to my site. here’s a few examples from the past week or two:

•     pictures of kids on the ground speaking in toungs
•     rick rohl web page
•     mistic pictures
•     flame words text myspace
•     myspace mistic pictures
•     dayton xfest pictures 06
•     pictures of kids speaking in toungs
•     elephants memory
•     eric ditmer
•     myspace trotwood twins
•     mistic.flame
•     flame siamese pics
•     super smash brothers brawl
•     mistic drink
•     mistic power in childrens

Now, some of those are understandable. it makes sense that a search for mistic.flame would get you to mistic flame.  Speaking in toungs? Yea, I mentioned it at least once (theres also a good discussion in the comments of this post.)  Eric ditmer? yea, I’ve mentioned him. xfest pics? theres one of those (pluse a couple of, uh, artists renditions.) I post a decent amount of stuff from Rick Rohl, and he doesn’t have a web site, so that makes sense. but myspace trotwood twins!? flame words text myspace?!?! flame siamese pics?!?!? super smash brothers brawl?!?!?! What?!
again, WHAT? I havn’t posted anything about smash brothers in months

anyways, I’m not sure if this rant has a point or if its just me goofing off, so i’m gonna drop it like a rock

lata,
nate

I just got back from camping up in my aunt’s woods in Van Wert Ohio and it was great! Some of you may recall the last time I went up there camping a tornado came by maybe 10-20 miles away. kinda messed up out tent a bit. Tornadoes suck. It was still fun, but this time was funner!

It was a little bit chilly out this wekkend (~32°) but when you put a blanket inside of a sleeping bag rated for 10 below, you stay right-cosy in 32°. And we kept a fire going the whole time, but that was a bit away from the tent, so it was mostly because we like fire. We did use it to cook dinner. (brots :)

But the best part was the guns! I’m now the proud owner of a 12 guage pump and a semi-auto .22! The .22 is just plane fun to shoot. I can put 10 holes in something in 10 seconds.  12 guage packs a kick. My brother shot it and moved back a good 6 inches when he fired. He did hit the target though :P

In side the case, the things were so damn big I couldnt fit em inside my trunk. The trunk is kind of full of speakers though.. Which reminds me.. I need an amp. I droped by samps on friday because bryon said he’d be there for their cruse in that they do on fridays. thing was, their cruse-ins kind of died down after school / football started, and bryon wasn’t even there! (apparently he showed up and then left because he got called in to work… whatev)  Davey was there, but i cant remember his myspace. but basicaly  i need to come back some time with money.

Slightly related to making money..  I’ve been redesigning my website. check out dev.nfriedly.com for the current state of the redesign. (nfriedly.com for the current ‘live’ site.) I love how the menus are working (click on the logo too). It’s only maybe 5-10% done, but it’s gonna be way cool when I’m finished.

And pretty soon here I’m gonna try and get a web site set up for the corrent fellow laborers, and maybe another one for stacys work (she’s a highschool councelor / stars program person). Anybydy got any ideas for a good url for the fellow laborers website? (if you don’t know what fellow laborers is.. ask me ;)

I kinda wish I’d gotten to see nikki this weekend. Oh well hopefully she can make it do come clubbing next friday. All my other weekends are booked for the rest of the month…

anyways, that’s it for now. I got a test to take for one of my online classes. it’s due by midnight (on a sunday! how rude!)

homework…
