THA BILL...

We just recently got an electric bill, our friend has drawn our attention to what is written on the envelope:

"In case you did not got this bill, please let us know"

Well I guess "rocket scientists" are everywhere... :)

what am I?

Is a huge question in this part of the world, but as far as I know/remember "over the big lake" the situation is kind a similar. what someone think he or she is, is strongly connected to the geographical area you were born in... this thinking leads to a lot of ethnic, nationalistic issues.
This geographic issue makes specially not much sense over here...
I was born in a little city in north Serbia(Vojvodina)called Subotica. Father Hungarian, mother Croatian(Bunjevac). due to the wars on the balkans in the '90 I was "sent" to study in Szeged,Hungary... there they never treated me as a hungarian...
Then in 2005 I moved to Croatia.To a city where It does metter to most people what are you... while living in Croatia, the hungarian government has given me the Hungarian citizenship... while living here I was told, maybe I can apply to a croatian citizenship, because my mother is a croat, and I live in Croatia...
So please tell me what in the world am I? Recently I was asked and my answer was Eastern Europenean. That descrbes it all... since There is no such thing, I am thinking about starting a virtual Eastern Europenean State... If any of you want to join it, or open a virtual embassy just let me know... :)

Add to this whole maddness that I married a beautifull woman from North of Hungary, from a city called Esztergom(On the border with Slovakia)

So...

What are you?

Vukovar Newspaper...

If you click to this link+speak croatian you will understand that the little "Pick up trash" action of our church is mentioned in the Vukovar Newspaper...
The editor is a kind lady(Zeljka Kraljic) and shows very opened heart to publish things that we as church do or organize...
Its kind of cool...you can also dowload the pdf file of the page...
its kind of cool...at least I am happy..."the church that picks up trash..." I think its awesome... :)

Two new sports invented in Serbia...

Hi guys,
Due to the floods the almighty Balkan menthality invented 2 new sports.
1. waterski on the highway
2. water soccer

The are applying to the Olimpic community with the desire to accept it into 2008 Olimpic games in Peking... all you need is flood...and since China is big, they would held these two competition in that part of China where the flood is...

I just like the Balkan menthality, its one thing to be in trouble but the question is how can we make fun out of it... :)

the spirit of the city...

its gonna be long, but endure with me...
I always heard from pastors, that you have to sense the spirit of the city, you have to have a vision etc... last year I heard one guy sharing how wierd is his city, and I kind of felt related to it...
Before, when we lived in Szeged it was easy to sense the spirit of the city. Its a universitiy town, big catholic cathedral, etc...its full of "knowledge", and pride... hard city to reach...
So I came to Vukovar, and I felt nothing...destroyed buildings, hatred in the hearts towards the other nations, every person effected by war, no jobs, kind of melancholic etc...but nothing you can grasp on...
...all till the day of this flood. We went there and have seen the soldiers packing the bags, with sand... we started joking they should have come 15 years ago, but all of them were probably sissy to come and defend the city... so here we go...
The city was defended 15 years ago by 2000-3000 tousand local dudes, many of them unequiped, and mostly barely any weapons...for 3 months they fought the 30-50 000 serbian slodiers armed with all tenks and anything you can imagine... then most of them were taken to concentration camps and many of them never returned alive...
What does it has to do with the spirit of the city? A lot... these soldiers were laughed at(maybe not even true exactly for these soldiers),but in general...if you are not brave to face and fight Goliath you gonna be laughed at...
So you can be one of two... or the one who never gives up, trusts GOD and defeats Goliath or you get laughed at...

May the LORD help us not to ruin our testemony and to bring glory to HIM...

Does this makes sence?
What is the spirit of your city?

Lea the TOP MODEL...

Reasons?

This spring is full of floods...in Szeged(where we lived for 12 years) seems like they gonna experience the biggest flood in the past 50 years...I started to feel jelouse, that I miss it and its not fair, and etc, but Vukovar got the biggest flood in the past 40 years... its kind a cool, but also scary...Here are some pictures...

I am trying to catch up with reading many of your blogs...but I just don't have time...lately everyone has a blog...I found a really good picture...Here you go...Little offensive... ?

believe it or not...

Believe it or not, if you endure a little more you will be able to read a new post soon...actually several of them...
I needed some time to regain my creativity so I went to the nicest places on the world and had done nothing just sunbathing...and enjoying GOD's creation...After that I went skiing in the Alps and then to Peru...
So after weeks of not doing a thing, not caring for people, not even trying to be a good husband, father and a pastor...and all that...I will write...



Of course, before someone thinks its true I am being sarcastic... :)
