“Okay, listen up, dudes. We have to book. Yesterday, when I find you guys are, like, AWOL? I, like, freak. Yelling at everybody–where are they, why did you let them leave–the hotel people are, like, whaaaa? Anyway, I pack up all your stuff, figuring I may never see the place again, and down in the lobby I find my man Arif. I'm, like, help me, and he takes all of our stuff to this launch–and then we're halfway across the sea when Arif gets this radio message, and he's all excited, but I don't know what he's saying until he's, like, 'POLICE!' in English. And we see these cop cars and somebody's getting a big old boat, so we're, like, sayonara, only in Indonesian, and we tool out into this boat-traffic jam to try to loose them, and I'm hearing these radio reports that are half English–there's been a fire and somebody's dead, yada yada, and I'm totally wigging out–Why did you do that? Why did you and your sister leave me in a hotel without even a note?”

“When it comes to love, I don’t know if there is such a thing as loving too much or showing that you love too much. And if there is, I think it’s commendable; not something to be ashamed of. Because if you don’t tell people and show people that you do care, that you do have feelings for them, that you do love them, how the hell are they supposed to know?”

“The questions of the students are often the source of new research. They often ask profound questions that I’ve thought about at times and then given up on, so to speak, for a while. It wouldn’t do me any harm to think about them again and see if I can go any further now. The students may not be able to see the thing I want to answer, or the subtleties I want to think about, but they remind me of a problem by asking questions in the neighborhood of that problem. It’s not so easy to remind yourself of these things.”

“11-11-11 (Three Times in Row) Whenever GOD speaks something once, it is for Revelation. HE reveals HIS nature, HIS plan, HIS strategy or HIS will by declaring something once. Revelation is the same as Life-ing or birthing it. For the mouth of the LORD carries creative power, and when HE speaks, HE begins. Whenever GOD speaks something twice, it is for Covenant. When JESUS would speak to the people, HE would often say, "Verily, Verily" or "Surely, Surely". The LORD was teaching us a pattern of setting a matter in motion in the earth. When CHRIST was setting covenant into the hearts, minds and atmosphere of the people; HE repeated HIMself because truth needs agreement in the earth to take root and produce. Truth is truth if no one ever agrees, but truth cannot bring forth fruit in human lives until it finds agreement from an earth born believer. When GOD could find no one to agree so HE could manifest HIS own word, HE made covenant with HIMself. Whenever GOD speaks something in a pattern of three's, it is to reveal the Kingdom. GOD is seen when HE reveals HIS will seven times, but HE is understood (known) when HE shows HIS face (nature) three times. HE shows us HIMself as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We see HIS Kingdom through Righteousness, Peace and Joy. We understand HIS dominion as HE who was, and Is, and Is to come...”
