2024 Update Hi guys. A lot has happened since the last post here. I married, moved to LA, then moved back to Portland with my family last year and now have a newborn! I don't hang out on Blogger much, but I do have a blog and social media. Find me on social media: Instagram @joshtaylorpdx Or my photography site: https://joshtaylorphotographer.com/ I'm in the Gresham/Fairview area now and really like it here. Hope to catch up with you sometime!
And so the day is fast approaching. I finally got just about all my shopping done. After the busyness of life and two jobs, I'm tired and looking forward to my long vacation in January. Some might wonder why I have so much cynicism toward the holidays. Well, here's the thing, it's not Christmas in itself I hate, but all the hustle and bustle, the commercialism, etc. If I really thought of how Christmas should be I'd prefer a Charles Dickens atmosphere over a crazy Black Friday mob in a corporate environment.

Then they got onto appearing with Christ in glory, and people started laughing and groaning. Then they sang prophetically about the husband and wife joined together, and how we're enjoying the new wine, and all chaos broke loose, basically like the awakening meeting, but in the prayer room, which is normally where people sit and read their Bibles or dink around on computers. Hey, who let one of the ballet dancers out of their little area? I also thought it was interesting that it was about 9 in the morning. I texted Pastor and said the prayer room has gone bonkers. A few days ago I heard about how to email the prophetic team and so I thought what the heck I'll try it. I'd had prophetic ministry at IHOP three years ago, and have had enough experience with IHOP to know they're generally with it. So near the end of the session...
