Ofcourse I can not relate to the joke at all. Nothing like that ever happened to me...

RESPECT BRADDA

May favourite british dr. friend, have posted an awesome thing. you wanna read it.

I am still shocked. I am not sure if its a cultural sensitivity? or just claming the truth(that Croatia will win), or just simply has Mazohistic motivation, he wants to get beaten up in england tomorrow night... :)

You have to know, that Wednesday night Croatia plays versus England in Zagreb... Its soccer. its the european superball kinda thing... (women not interested at all, maybe only about the handsome goalkeepr... :) )

OK so anyway... HE did the best thing possible. :)

LOVE YOU DR. ANDY. And TRULY RESPECT YOU FOR THIS...

one of my favourite bands...

Pastors retreat...

Its not a joke...this picture was taken at a pastors retreat...

It was great. The whole conference was planed not to be formal, and they did a good job.

In the morning hours we had fellowship, prayer, encouregement, etc.
the basic motive behind the whole thing was to rebuild friendships, instead of again listening to teachings on "how to do ministry better"...
The best thing is, the whole day has drawn us closer to JESUS, because it was full of personal testemonies, and hearts were opened...
On the picture you can see the afternoon "Psicho-therapy". Paintballing.
some people might stumble over this...how come, pastors to have fun or that is not christian or whatever... "the fruit of the spirit is LOVE", and it was great to see or love grow towards each other during the whole day... and a big part of it was the paintballing too... to learn to respect each other, work together as a team, learn together from mistakes, etc...
I
If you think, I am trying to "overspiritualize" the whole thing, I don't.
IT WAS A GREAT SPIRITUAL REFRESHMENT AND GROWTH.

THANK YOU GOD.

adolf hitler and GOD's sense for humor...

OK, you guys remmeber, that we were at a missions conference in august? Well right accorss the lake there is a little castle which has belonged to the famous adolf hitler (the first letters of his name are written small on purpose-read the book: The boys of Paul street:Ferenc Molnár).

Now, many years after he thought he is "big" his used to be castle is now a place to rent a boat... :)

GOD has a good sense for humor... :)


p.s. Beth Stewart thanx for the pics...

background

well. kidney infection it is. after several blood and other tests, infusions, injections, etc(my arms look like a drug addict), they concluded THA news. :)

Much rest, liquid antibiotics etc.
I have to admit 3 weeks have passed away and I had no day off at all.
chesnuts have fallen off of the trees and I missed it completely. It is a good thing to serve the LORD, but not enjoying life, and having no Sabbath is unbiblical and unhealthy.

I did my best in the past 18 months(since we moved to Vukovar), and the LORD has trully blessed the work of our hands...it was and is worth every tear, every svet, ever attack we had to endure. But what I learned(again) is no engine can run 100 miles per hour for too long without a brake, without a refill etc...

So we are cutting back on many things in ministry. I am saying NO to many things, to be able to spend more time with the LORD, with my awesome and beautiful wife, my wonderful daughter...friends, family.

THINGS need to change. Learn from my mistake.

Infusion...

First infusion experience in my life, just have happened today...

I started the day(Actually the whole night) with throwing up...
I was trying to be "smart" and not to go to the doctors... :)

But my wife was right, so I went. Then I ended up at the E.R.(No Luka Kovac was not here... :) )

It turned out that I have some kind of kidney infection. Or bacterial or virus.


PLEASE PRAY. I will know more tomorrow.


Laci.

p.s. And Lea wasw throwing up since monday...so its a "fun"week... poor Keri...she just keeps running and serving us... She is an angel.

Back to life, back to reality...

Well, surprise surprise...
I just got the internet hooked up an hour ago...
I feel so human...back to reality...

FEW QUOTES...

Well being on this conference is awesome...I actually got time to read in the afternoons... I can't remember when was the last time I got to do that... :)
Here are few intresting quotes from the book 'The celebration of discipline' by Richard J. Foster:

"Superficiality is the the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem..."

Keep in mind that he wrote all this in the '70... :)

"grace is free, but its not cheap"

"everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself"

"hurry is not of the devil:it is the devil"

SO much for now...

MUSLIMS

There is an arab guy here called Samy Thanago and he wrote a book how to reach muslims... He wrote this book in a way as muslims think and understand...comparing Quran and Bible, etc...

He is teaching at this missions conference we attend, and it really touched me, and rebuked me too... my love for Israel and the muslims need to be the same... I let the Politics, and the Terorist junk influenced me... my heart needs to cry in the same way for the muslims as it beats for Israel... If you guys disagree with this statement, comment and we can go on...

Missions conference

WEll, we are in Austria. at a lake called: Millstatter See at this castle... And its great...
Please read the history of the place... Its great...
So beautifull here...its scary...But no worries we are returning to Vukovar, its so expencive here...everything is expencive... :)So I go back to less expencive Vukovar gladly...
Although it is finally after many years a real vacation, fun reading, etc etc...

GOD is good.

on Travel...

Well, now you will have to imagine a picture. Ready?
Imagine 3 maps. Map of Croatia, Hungary, and Austria...
Right now these 3 maps tell us where to go... It would be really easy if it would be similar with our journey with GOD too... But instead, mostly HE is not even telling us, where we are going...HE only says the first step... and if we are faithfull in it them the second... etc... with traveling by map its easier. I know where I want to get, I chose the path(or Keri my co-pilot and brain :) ) and just follow the signs...
Anyways this might sound as an overspiritualized post on our simple holiday traval... We are now resting in Esztergom, Hungary with Keri's family and we are living for Austira for a missions conference on sunday morning...
Can't wait to swim in the cold "Millstatter See" the lake where the conference is held.

Still no internet, when we get back, we will see.
GOD BLESS YOU GUYS...
LAci, Keri and Lea

MORE BAD NEWS ON INTERNET...

Well guys...

Thank GOD for my Jewish friend Charles TAuber I can come to his office and get online here, so I might feel a little more human... :)
