Erghhh...that color test sounded like a really long fortune cookie or a horoscope. I liked the spiritual gifts one better.





yay...blog tweak. you can now e-mail lumps bloggers by clicking on their name links. this way you can talk to that person directly offline.

mo blog tweaks to come. =)




Click here for a 35-question spiritual gifts test.






I took the color block test too... and contrary to DLu, mine was completely off, even when i tried it twice, varying a couple of choices.

Anyone know of any good spiritual gifts tests? That might be informative.

here are my results from flew's color personality test:

At this particular time,- you are feeling that you are/or were unjustly and undeservedly treated and/or betrayed in your hopes and dreams.....You feel that everything is against you...But look on the bright side...for you are, whether you believe it or not, a survivor....

You are very self-sufficient and methodical. You presume to know where you are going.. but need to find a person who will recognise the way you are ... not be too demanding and who is, as they say in Italy, "Simpatico".

You are trying to break away from the mundane existence that you have been experiencing of late. You have many high hopes and ideals but you are concerned whether circumstances will allow you to realise these ambitions. You want to spread your wings ... to broaden your fields of activities but you are concerned that your dreams are just that "dreams" which are not realistic. It concerns you that you are not thinking clearly at this time ... what you need is to get away from it all - to give you time to "think" A short vavation could well restore your confidence.

Whatever has caused the situation...you just don't seem to be able to sustain or maintain relationships as you would wish to. What you really seek is to be able to develop a relationship with someone with whom you can truly share: Love, Serenity, Peace and Quiet. But you are a very demanding person and it is your nature that leads to disquiet and discord...you are like the tide,.. flotsam and jetsam...One minute you experience "highs" and a few moments later "lows". This obviously will introduce discord into any relationship and it is the demanding attitude, the ideal state you desire, is unable to develop. Despite the urge to gratify your natural desires, you impose a considerable self-restraint on your instincts in the belief that this demonstrates your superiority and raises you above the common herd. You are extremely critical of everything that is presently going on around you...and you find it difficult to listen to, or to take advice from anyone. You enjoy the original, the ingenious and the subtle, and you strive to ally yourself with others of similar tastes.

It is strange that the anxiety that you are experiencing at this time is of your own makings simply because of your desire to be respected by your fellow man and with those whom you work with. You are not satisfied. The normal congenial "you" is becoming quite introverted. This is becoming increasingly more obvious because you seem to shy away from participating in everyday activities ... You are refusing to allow yourself to become involved, or to participate with others and it is the reluctance to communicate that is the inherent cause of your problems.

oh yeah. last night at lumps was cool. i enjoyed spending time with the SG doing those care packages and just sharing. i think a practical way we can show love towards the homeless is just by at least acknowledging them. you know, not to diss them when you walk by. a simple "hi" or "how are you" is fine.

cityteam is an awesome experience. i encourage everyone to try it at least once. it's harder when you don't work around SF, but yeah. i'm glad we all had a chance to help out with the cityteam ministry.






Dude man, no movie out there is better than the Star Wars trilogy.










anyone have deep thoughts or reflections after making the care packs for the homeless? anything to share? (hoping to keep this blog related to lumps)




A Walk to Remember is like the most amazingly good awesomest movie ever (even better than star wars HA dan!)

So I'm beginning to think that I've got to too much time on my hands b/c recently I've been spending way too much time reading everyone's blogs. And I only have a few of them bookmarked, but yet somehow, once i surf onto one of them, i end up clicking on the link to another's, then another, then another... which goes to show that GW and DS and everyone else who first started doing this are doing a great job recruiting.

That said -- it's just funny when you click on one site then another, and they all are talking about what they are from the Myers Briggs, and some with no explanation other than "I'm INTP", and had i not visited some previous blogs, I would not have known where such a random thought or statement came from. Ok, that's an incredibly long run-on sentence, and I'm not sure i even said what I was trying to say, but it's 1:33 am EST, and my brain's not functioning too well.

Anyway, all that to say... I think I must have too much time on my hands being that it's an indecent hour and i'm still reading blogs and now feel a need to give myself a voice. Call it living vicariously. Call it insatiable curiosity towards what thoughts lurk in the deep recesses of my brothers' and sisters' minds. Ah... i need to call it a night.

And for the record, I'm an ISFJ =)





hmmm...that's a very notable observation you make mr. shinn. i must say, a lot of attention is being brought by certain individuals for something that we had all but forgotten already. and is it just me or does anyone else think it's slightly suspicious that gw be walking around so late in the freezing cold? (everyone was probably asleep by then considering the girls cabin was vacated of people hanging out, unless they were trapped inside) maybe he happened to be taking a 3am stroll... :) i'm no sherlock holmes, but mr. dan "watson" shinn...what is your conjecture about this whole matter? i believe there is yet another culprit that has eluded us and has not shown himself on this board...the mysteries never cease.




isn't it interesting how this "prank" from the tahoe trip resurfaces now all of the sudden? perhaps some folks want credit for their handy work?

is it me or does that shot of the "distorted" face person looked posed?

and wassup with that pot on the ground? didn't one cabin have a bunch of pots and pans laying out on the walk way that sunday morning?

hmmmmm.




I must say, this is quite an innovative way for a fellowship to communicate =)




project: mayhem

wall of ice back yard barricade

the rumors are true. early in the morning, i managed to catch up to the guys who pranked the girls' cabin. a couple of them ran away though, but i was able to capture their snow deeds and one of them with my camera. unfortunately, it was really dark and his face is distorted. but if you squint and stare long enough, you may be able to tell.





Would any of you guys bid for a spouse?

winter getaway grp 2002

lumps of snow

i'm really glad that i made it to this winter getaway. i missed out on the last one. i thought that there was a good time of bonding and getting to know other people. i really enjoyed my car ride up and down...getting to know some people better. (i'm happy that gary bumped me to that car at 8am that morning!) we shared a lot and the book of questions spurred on some great and funny conversations. a couple of times we made some wrong turns and took the scenic route. (i had nothing to do with our detour to TI at all!) but my car went with the flow and had fun with it. i'll post my pix from the weekend soon.

liked chilling and playing in the snow with the non-skiing snow bunnies. snow fights and snow football as well as some good food at carrow's. pretty relaxing weekend. i didn't get too much sleep tho, but that's quite all right. got a chance to chat with some others who i havn't caught up in a while with.

i enjoyed the fellowship and worship that we shared sunday morning. that was pretty awesome. the snow fights were fun too. i think everyone took it well, and i'm glad it didn't go too far.

i hope this isn't my first and last winter getaway with lumps (in case i move to la)!
