The following is a prayer that I happen to type into this post, if you would not like to see it or would likely to react negatively to spiritual displays, please skip this marked out section and read on. If you do wish to read through, please do not give any form of comment. And finally, if you are so kind, pray with me. Many threads are always stronger than one. Hahahahahaha! Thank you.

Dear Lord. First of all, I would like to thank you for the multitude of blessings you have bestowed on me. Once and again, I felt extremely grateful for your promise that I can go forth. Though occasionally it does slip away from me, I can always remember You and Your word with even the simplest of prayer. It has given me relief and confidence in time when I saw no way out. I thank you. I also thank you for another promise that I have often wrongly remembered, one about prayer. That when I pray, it will always be answered, as long as I do not pray selfishly. Though I have forgotten it for a long time, this sudden remembrance made me know. This prayer will come to pass. It may not be immediate, but it will.

Just like You said, there is season to everything. Season to sow, season to reap. Season to endure the winter cold, season to run under the summer heat. And no matter how dark this season may be, it will run its course, serve its purpose and be over. In this season of going forth, you have given me achievements beyond my expectations, training that truly stretch me and most importantly, a love that will last a lifetime. And I am here to pray for her. I have no idea what is Your season for her right now. Perhaps it is a season of strain and stretch, maybe one of growth and climbing. It doesn't matter because I know there is a reason for every season.

Everyone is born with amazing talents in various areas. We started equal. While some laze and relax, others fan this amber of passion into a fiery blaze of amazing abilities. And with such development, You reward them. Not gold nor fame, You move more hurdles in their paths so they can be pulled and grown into mighty timbers that stand high. She is one of them, I know. You have given her passions and talents, abilities that gave her the capacity to reach higher oh Lord. And I pray, that in this time of pulling, she'll have unrelenting strength and a crystal mind oh Lord. I pray that as she sleep, every bit of tiredness is washed away by Your gentle love so she will enter a brand new day full of energy. I pray that her mind, with every rest, ever more acute. So she can master all that she need to learn. Oh I pray oh Lord, for the best of plans to unfold and for the best of stories to have when she turns old. I know, that she will endure. And I know, that she will unfold Your plan.

With this prayer, I wish to again, give thanks. You have already paved the way and set things in motion. Prayer is timeless, it is not limited by before and after. I do not expect this prayer to be answered. I only wish it would be in line with Your plans. It is because only Your plans are perfect. You use the weak to teach the strong, the senseless to confound the wise. For Your weakness is greater than our strength and your foolishness greater than our intelligence.

In Jesus name I pray, amen.

Right! Now, the BBQ of ID 2013/2014! Honest opinion, this is THE best BBQ I've ever been to. A great fire, check. Near limitless food, check. Perhaps the only thing lacking is a reserve of really light beer to go with the smoky food. Anyway, enjoy the photos and you can enlarge them by clicking on them.
