I just arrived in Vancouver B.C., cleared Canadian customs and was continuing to proceed through the scanner when a customs lady asked me if I wanted to do a Volunteer Screening? I said "Sure" :( I was distracted with finding my next gate and didn't really think about what I just said. She asked me to walk down this hallway and proceeded to follow the arrows. I walked into a big room with a bunch of angry chinese people yelling at customs officials and the interpreter was trying to interpret their yelling. Than on my right I saw a couple guys tattooed to their ears. This is when I started thinking Oh Crap, what did I get myself into. The Volunteer Screening turned into a Volunteer Strip Search. When all is said and done 2 hours later I walked out learning Never say yes to Volunteer work again, at least not with Canadians. :)
Looking forward to getting to the Philippines. Hopefully they aren't so aggressive. :) Say NO to Volunteer Screening(aka strip search) next time at customs.

Black, White and Grey???
Humans have for a long time been saying that there is a lot of grey areas in the Bible. I don't see it. We in our own human pride love to prove things wrong. We take great satisfaction in thinking we are smart or better than another person. I love how God's Word puts it. (Isaiah 64:6) To Him we are like filthy rags!! and not meaning dirty dish rags. It is talking about a woman's dirty garments. So next time you think you are pretty smart or proud of yourself, than read that scripture daily.For God loves the humble and despises the proud.
So is the grey area that people love to call it and love to debate about even matter to God. Maybe just maybe a God of Infinite wonders didn't care to talk about those items because He had a lot more important things to share to the Human race, like Jesus, Rising from the dead!!, some more Jesus and how we are to live here on Earth, why we were made, (which most of us are not doing daily) and so much more! and than some more Jesus in the End!! So when you hear people debating the authenticity of the bible remember this (Isaiah 55: 8-9) "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways" declares the Lord. 9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways And my thoughts than your thoughts.
When I read the scripture I see as a complete Black and White Book. God does not leave any doubt in my mind in how I am supposed to live my life and why I am created. People to often take a scripture and twist to what they think it is saying. When I hear people doing this I just want to smack them over the head. The Bible is the most upfront and in your face book, you will ever read. If you are not taking for what it says as the whole truth than you are saying you know more than God. (read Isaiah 55:8-9 again you filthy rag)
Man I have come to love this Book I have been reading for far to long and wish I would have been smacked over the head by God a lot sooner. He is so blunt, real, loving, forgiving and always there. You could never find a friend better than God. So people quit putting your faith in other people and remember that we are just sheep. (another way God tells we are not smart) :)
Quit living a life that pleases only you and wasting your life doing things that don't bring Glory to Him. (meaning face novel, tweeting, and any other idol that keeps us from having that relationship that He so desperately wants with us.) If you wake up every morning and think of something other than your relationship with God or how you can further His kingdom, than you know exactly what idol you can take out of your life for starts. Pray to God that He will prune your life as (John 15) talks about. I promise you, if you start asking God to prune you of the things of this world, and ask Him what is keeping you from having that walk with Him that He wants to have with you that you will be humbled before God.
I am saying these things to you because God has smacked me over the head for the past two years and has been refining me into the person that He wants me to be. I don't want to live a life anymore for my self. I don't want to stand before God and have Him ask me "What have you done for Me". For my answer would be uhhhhhhh? baaaaa! I want to make my life count on this earth for God and don't care if I offend people in the process. I am made to worship God, not just in song but my actions, thoughts and words. (Romans10:14) is a scripture that God is been constantly bringing up before me in my devotions, the books I am reading and countless other ways. Paul talks about how can people call on Him (meaning God) when they have not believed? And how can they believe in Him when they have not heard about Him? He than asks the question that has been ringing in my head for a few months. How will they hear without a preacher? This verse has hit me right between the eyes and has smacked some sense into me. You don't have to be a preacher to reach people for Christ. You don't have to be an amazing song writer. God wants you to be you. "For you are fearfully and wonderfully made." Don't try to be someone that you are not. If you have pride in the way, than ask God to refine you, but you better have knee pads on because that is where you are going to be a lot of the time.
Every person on earth could ask God to prune them of Pride. C.S. Lewis puts it best, "Pride is the greatest sin" When I read that book last year it hit me to what he was talking about.God tells us that no sin is greater than another but a sin that will definitely keep a lot of people from entering the kingdom of God. Why do you think there are so many false religions? We as humans think we are better than everyone else but we are just "filthy rags". My prayer is that God will wake up this world of their selfish ways and that we will all start pursuing the lost. God gave us the Holy Spirit, so when are you going to start using your gifts for God?
(Amos 8:11) "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord."
PRIDE is going to be what keeps us from hearing the words of the Lord!!!

Where God is calling us!
Cross Point Ministries, Aklan
I am excited to share with you what God has been doing in our lives and want to share with you where we are feeling called to serve God. The last two years of our lives, God has done a lot of pruning in our marriage and in our own lives. We were blessed while living in Alberta, Canada with abundance of work and cash flow. Our lives at that time really didn’t have a lot of meaning. We were working and doing what ever we wanted. Though it was less stressful living there at that time we were not letting God be glorified through everything we were doing. We were just wasting away our lives. In August of 2008 we moved to Kalispell, MT and have been living here ever since. We built our home down here and than the market collapsed. This last year and a half has been a struggle to provide for my family, but through this time God has shown us what is truly important in life and the things of this earth, meaning the materials of this world are not what is important in life. It has been a humbling couple of years and we are thankful for every minute of it. The valleys of life are hard, but when God is there with you whom shall we fear?
This last year I have been meeting with Mike Yap every week to pray for each other and hold each other accountable. In this last year, since God has brought this wonderful friend into my life, Mike has been sharing with me about a vision he got while visiting his parents back in the Philippines, in 2006. At this time he was given 3 acres in the town of Aklan, Kalibo on the island of Panay, Philippines. God laid upon his heart to start an orphanage with this land he was given. The Philippines is an area of the world that really is not known for adoptions or people really don’t understand how many kids are just thrown into dumpsters or left on the streets to provide for themselves. The world is no place for a kid to be left alone to provide for themselves. The kids are than picked up and used for slavery, sex trades and what ever else this evil world can throw at them. I would love for you to check out http://crosspointministriesaklan.blogspot.com/ to learn more about his vision, mission statement and more. In the last three months God has been really stirring my heart and sharing with me through my devotions, my time with Mike every week, at Fresh Life Church and through countless other circumstances in life that we are all called on this earth to disciple others and worship God our maker.
For some reason it really hadn’t clicked as to what this means. I didn’t really know what God was calling me to do with our lives until one morning doing devotions, God laid it upon my heart to talk to Mike more about God’s vision he had shared with him. I asked Mike, what do you think about me coming beside you and helping you get this ship moving. I have been doing construction for a long time and really have not been using my gifts and talents to further His Kingdom. We prayed about it and started talking more about it over the next couple of weeks. This is when God started to overwhelm me with His presence and has been constantly reminding me of His passion for orphans. James 1:27- “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”
We are leaving July 12th to meet with Action International in Manila, Philippines where they will be having the yearly meeting with all their missionaries and board members on July 15th. At this time we going to share with them the layout of the property, the drawing plans for the orphanage and the vision for what God is calling us do in this town. We are praying that we will be able to come under them and use their organization as a launching point to where donations and funds can be channeled through. We are needing a church or a company with a 501 C 3 to allow the funds of this ministry that it receives to be tax free. This will benefit the giver to receive a tax deductible receipt. This is a huge part to starting this orphanage. We are also going to be getting a bank account setup there under the orphanage’s name so that we will have a place in the Philippines to transfer money to from other countries. The property is 4 feet below sea level so we are praying that we will have enough funds to backfill the property so it can sit and settle in time for when we are ready to start the orphanage.
I am wanting to share this with you now so you can be praying for us and our trip. I don’t know how we can afford this but one thing I do know is that God is not concerned with the things of this world. Money is no issue to Him. All He cares about is the heart. So finally at the age of 30, my heart is in the right place and ready to serve Him. When God puts his finger on you, you better not turn away. He has an awesome way of smacking you over the head and breaking you of your prideful ways. The book of Jonah is a good reminder to me. I don’t want to move there, knowing the risks of my children in a third world country, but God has been reminding me through scripture that where there is faith there is His Glory.
I would love to share with you so much more about the overall vision, but that will come later. So please be praying for us in this process, that God will be glorified through it all. You will be able to keep track of our trip at our blog http://justmemybrunetteand3littlemunchkins.blogspot.com/ I will be updating our trip there so you can read and see pictures of the property, surrounding area. This way you can have a visual of what you are praying for or feeling led to support. Our goal is to be moved over there with in a year. Crazy, but awesome in knowing that what we are doing has no selfish motives and it is ultimately for Jesus. If you know someone that can make quarterly donations to Cross Point Ministries, Aklan than please let us know or have them get a hold of me at 1124hogan@gmail.com and I will forward them to Mike Yap. Also due to this being a non-profit organization our family is going to have to be supported financially but most importantly through prayer. So if God is laying it upon your heart to further His Kingdom in this ministry by finances or prayer. Please let us know. If you know my wife Andrea, you could also contact her through Facebook or our personal email, cahogan_1@hotmail.com There is already a board set up in the Philippines and I will most likely be joining this board here in the upcoming months. We don’t know where the funds will come in from but we have complete faith that God will provide. He is an Awesome God! Thanks for taking the time to read this long letter and we look forward to serving our God in this orphanage with His children.
With Love,
Chris Hogan

What Death here on Earth, can bring to Life in Eternity!
I had the pleasure of traveling with my parents, 3 sisters and 2 of my nieces to attend a Funeral in Camano Island, WA this weekend. Sue Reid or better known as "Sweet Sue" was my moms best friend for 19 wonderful years. She was a woman that LOVED to Serve. Her passion in life was serving children.
Her son Jared shared this weekend at her funeral, and the first thing he said was "This Sucks". He was angry, heart broken, confused, and every reason to be, at why a lady that loved Jesus so passionately was taken off this earth. I sat there during that funeral listening to everything that was shared about her Sweet life, and noticed the most important gift she gave others. She was SELFLESS! She served children for many years. So, as any person that has children or has served with children knows is that you don't get much in return, usually. When you serve adults, it isn't as pure and selfless. You will usually get thanked, praised or patted on the back. Something our selfish minded bodies love here on earth. If you say you don't need those or like them, you are lying.
I couldn't help but see Jesus all around her and through her. Even though I was not walking with the Lord at the time I was around her the most, I noticed one thing. She brought warmth to a person and their life. She was truly a ray of sunshine. It could be a cold and rainy day in Washington, but if you ever saw Sweet Sue and her smile you would know that Jesus lived in her and through her. Most people can smile, but her smile was one from God. The reason I say that is, Jesus was a man that was Selfless in every way. He served, served, and never stopped serving. His Passion was children, and reaching the lost. I have never seen Jesus smile but I have been around people like Sweet Sue and have been on the blessing side of her warm selfless smile. She never expected anything in return, and that is what Jesus did here on this earth.
What I learned from Jared's Question of why a person so sweet and so selfless could be taken so suddenly is this. We are put here on this earth for is to disciple others for Christ and WORSHIP Our Mighty God. Sweet Sue did this continuously through children.
I couldn't help but praying and talking to God that night for like 2 hours just recapping every thing that day had brought, and coming away with one answer to that question. Sue had planted so many fruitful seeds and they had blossomed and shared more seeds with others that it was God's time to take her home, with no pain, and very little sickness. All I could hear yesterday while praying was God wanted to say to her, Well done Good and faithful servant! So Jared if for some reason you every get this somehow, know that her life was not wasted, as so many other Christians lives are. Just look at how many people were there to celebrate her life. Look at how God can use even a funeral and bring more people that don't know Him another chance to hear about His Grace, Love, Faithfulness and the list goes on. Praise God for the life that she shared with us on this earth!

bloggy t blog here we go
So, lets see where this blogging experience takes me. I had tried twitter but it wasn't quite for me. Maybe this will be a place where I can't get crazy people following me. I think that was the weirdest part about Twitter. I had posted a tweet or a twit or whatever you want to call it about dreaming about sitting on a beach drowning my feet in fresh salt water and as soon as i clicked send,I had a beach magazine following me. So than,once I saw that, I had to post another one about my friend David the Mexicano (mmmmcerveza!) wearing a speedo.
One thing I like to do in life is make as many awkward moments with others as possible. Especially if they don't know you. Those are the greatest moments in life. OK, maybe not greatest but pretty good. I say pretty good because, you get to find out what kind of person they are pretty quick. You can learn alot about a person by watching how they relate to people they don't know. People generally are always willing to impress others if it benefits them. I like to observe people when they don't know they are being observed. This is how you truly find out what kind of person they are. So many people are fakes and have walls. What makes my day is when you are paying attention to what that person is doing and they don't know it and they going out of there way to serve others. Those are the people I like to hang around.
I am traveling back to my Camano Island this weekend for a funeral. Camano is where I spent the middle third of my life. So ten years in case you were wondering. Should be fun but weird. I get to go on a road trip with my 3 sisters. That is going to be weird, very weird. It brings back memories of being kicked out of the car when I was a kid in Yellowstone Park. I think I was like 12 or so. I was pesting my sister Rachel to much and my dad got really mad and made me jump out right in an area that we had just almost got smashed into by bison. I am not joking, I remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting in the back seat and my sisters were screaming that this buffalo was going to ram us. The beast was about 30 feet away standing by the road scratching his front hoof like a bull will do before he is going to charge. I was thinking in my head this is going to be awesome because our van will get totalled. Everything a boy dreams about. Buffalo's ramming into cars. SWEET! So anyways after all the frantic screaming and worrying was done we drove away and not to far away is where I got kicked out of our road trip mobile. So in my evil devious mind I was thinking how I could get back at my dad for kicking me out of the car in Yellowstone Park. The first thought that came to my head was hike into the woods and hide behind a bush and camouflage myself and watch the circus begin, meaning they would end up calling the cops and there would be a search and rescue team sent out at my expense. What a sweet revenge and oh how it could have backfired. But I chose not to go down that road. One of the few times I chose the right road. We all have roads to choose. I usually chose the gravel, pot hole, canyon roads.
I can already tell I am going to like this a ot more than tweeting.

I was thinking in my head this is going to be awesome because our van will get totalled. Everything a boy dreams about. Buffalo's ramming into cars. SWEET! So anyways after all the frantic screaming and worrying was done we drove away and not to far away is where I got kicked out of our road trip mobile. So in my evil devious mind I was thinking how I could get back at my dad for kicking me out of the car in Yellowstone Park. The first thought that came to my head was hike into the woods and hide behind a bush and camouflage myself and watch the circus begin, meaning they would end up calling the cops and there would be a search and rescue team sent out at my expense. What a sweet revenge and oh how it could have backfired. But I chose not to go down that road. One of the few times I chose the right road. We all have roads to choose. I usually chose the gravel, pot hole, canyon roads.
I can already tell I am going to like this a ot more than tweeting.
