Fun Day with the Youth!

2009-07-04T00:08:00.002-04:00

Here I am with the Youth on our Fun Day hanging out at my old Camp Tekoa Stomping Grounds

Group Time

2009-06-28T23:23:00.001-04:00

After Chapel we spent time with just Orange Youth! The theme for the week is "pray as you go" so we talked about prayer. Several of the youth shared their experience of prayer and talked about how they pray. Everything from posture to place and even how long we pray was shared. We then had a time to pray together in small groups.

Pray for us because tomorrow we begin our service!!! Good Night!

Lazy Boy Hurts the American Family

Lazy Boy: Comfy Chair or Deathly Hazard??

2008-10-04T22:50:00.002-04:00

This poor woman was tempted by the supposedly comfy appearance of the chair...she will never be the same again.

Lazy Boy and America

2008-10-01T17:50:00.004-04:00

I think that Anna once again is trying to distract us at what is at stake here. The Lazy Boy is as American as Apple Pie! It is ingrained in our American History. To separate the Lazy Boy from our culture and society would be to deny the Crossing of the Delaware or the planting of the American Flag on Iwa Jima (for both of which the Lazy Boy was present). Please don't be distracted by Anna. The Lazy Boy Must Stay!

Lazy Boy does NOT equal HOPE

2008-10-01T11:00:00.011-04:00

It's ok to feel betrayed by Lazy Boy...you were betrayed. Please view this link describing the closing of the US Lazy Boy Factory departments to move shop to Mexico.
http://www.wdef.com/news/la_z_boy_shipping_jobs_to_mexico_layoffs_coming_to_dayton/04/2008

Also, watch this heart wrenching story of a women who's life has been negatively affected by the Lazy Boy phenomenon. Please, will someone stop the Lazy Boy insanity???

The Lazy Boy Must Stay

2008-09-29T14:27:00.005-04:00

My Dear Americans,
Do not fall for the cheap political tricks of Anna. What she proposes is mere fear mongering. To threaten your life because you eat in a Lazy Boy? That is crazy! I know Americans. I know that Americans are smarter than this. I do not want to live in an America that is full of fear of what may happen. That fear paralizes you from making the right decision. That fear is not the America my grandfather fought for. When decisions need to be made we need not make them out of fear for ourselves, but out of confidence for our children! This lazy boy is more than a chair. This lazy boy represents all of America's values. This lazy Boy represents hope.

In the unlikely story that is this Lazy Boy, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't try, or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.

The Lazy Boy Must Stay.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

The Lazy Boy Must Stay.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom through the darkest of nights.

The Lazy Boy Must Stay.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

The Lazy Boy Must Stay.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

The Lazy Boy Must Stay for justice and equality. The Lazy Boy Must Stay for opportunity and prosperity. The Lazy Boy Must Stay to heal this nation. The Lazy Boy Must Stay to repair this world. The Lazy Boy Must Stay!

Dinner Plans

2008-09-29T13:18:00.004-04:00

That dinner is an insult to all vegetarians out there and I flat out refuse to prepare it. Plus, reclining while you eat/drink can increase your risk of aspiration and can lead to death. Wonderful voters, please understand that I value your life and would not use cheap (& dangerous) tricks to try to win you over. No matter what your vote is I still love you all.

A Great Idea!! Anna Raises a Great Point!

2008-09-29T12:51:00.006-04:00

Anna has just raised a great point!!! How wonderful would it be for you to come over and sit in the lazy boy while eating dinner! This would be like going to someones house and being treated as a King or Queen! You would be instantly placed in the highest place of honor. Now when you come over to eat at the Berry house no longer will you have to sit in the normal wooden uncomfortable chair of yesteryear! Now you will be treated as royalty and sit in the most comfortable chair in the house. What could be better? Perhaps while you are there you will receive peeled grapes for an appetizer. For the first course? Rack of lambs marinated in one hundred year old wine. Main Course? Bavarian Moose Steaks topped with carefully picked black berry cheese sauce! For desert? The finest chocolate cake dripping with a chocolate sauce made from Cocoa beans from the Northern Patagonian Ice Field of Chile!

The only one that should be caused to pause when offering an invitation to sit in a Lazy Boy at dinner is Anna! For now we will have endless guests who want to experience the royal treatment received when attending the Berry house for a candle light supper. You should change your vote to keep the Lazy Boy and come enjoy the finest dinning and comfort known to man, woman, or child!!

(Perhaps we should get 4 more Lazy boys to use as Dinning Room Furniture?!?!?)

If this doesn't change your mind then you're just crazy!

2008-09-28T19:38:00.003-04:00

So I feel that I haven't quite made my argument clear enough to the voting population. So, how would you feel about having a lazy boy next to the kitchen table?? Please understand, I can stand the ugliness of the recliner. Really, I can deal with that, even if I don't want to. The main issue here is that there is literally no space for the lazy boy in the condo. Things would be different if there was room for it in the continuum of our living room furniture or in front of the television. However, the fact is that it is not there. The kitchen table, really? If you really want to vote to keep the lazy boy then you'll have to come over and eat with us....sitting in the lazy boy. It just makes no sense. I urge you to understand my point of view and to vote for me or change your vote to me if you have already cast you vote. It's not too late to make a difference!

A helpful book for Anna to Read...

2008-09-27T08:13:00.000-04:00

Here is a book that might help change Anna's mind about the Lazy Boy.

7-18-2008 Post from India

2008-07-18T20:02:00.001-04:00

So, we are definitely living the high life right now. I took shower in a tub for the 1st time since leaving the US. We are traveling with some friends from the HHE trip whose parents are from India. We are staying in a 4star hotel in Agra and had a tour guide and driver all day long. We saw the Taj Mahal from the Agra Fort (which is also known as the Red Fort but is different from the one in Delhi) and went to some other palace about 40k out from the city. The palace was amazing. The king had 3 wives: one was Muslim, one Christian, one Hindi. The hindi wife had a palace within a palace b/c she was the only one that produced an heir for the king. At the Agra Fort, we visited the tower where the King who had the Taj built was inprisioned by his son and held captive until he died 8 years later. It is disgustingly hot here but the sights are beautiful. We part ways with our Indian HHE friends tomorrow (they head back to the states) and 4 of us (2 from UNC and 2 from other places) head to Jaipur to continue exploring India. There is supposed to be some of the best markets so I am trying to save some money so I can spend more there. I now have less than a week to go. I originally was sad when our large HHE group parted ways but now I am enjoying exploring (but not all the haggling you hve to do to get a good deal) Everyone here is trying to make a buck. But I can't blame them when there are so many rich tourist around. They jst don't understand that I'm not one of them. Tomorrow we visit the Taj at sunrise (another early start) and then head to Jaipur by either bus, train, or rented car (we haven't decided yet). I finished my 1 GB camera memoy card today and am ready to start anew with my new card at the Taj tomorrow. Until next time...

So,
I survived the overnight train ride. When they say sleeper cab, what they really mean is there there are 6 bunk beds on the side of the wall and 2 more across the hallway that has no doors. I guess I was expecting Amtrak and I was surprised. Once I got to bed (I had to convience the stranger in the bunk below me that it was time to pull out the beds) I had possibly the best sleep I've had all of India. I think it is due to the tylenol pm I took an hour before passing out. That, and not sleeping but less than 2 hours on the overnight bus ride from Manali to Dehli. It's hard to sleep when you're getting thrown into the person next to you at every curve. The guy sitting next to me realized that if we tipped over he'd be throuwn into the window so he tried to convience me to switch seats so that he could fall into the asle instead. I pointed out the fact that if we tipped, it would be off a cliff and it wouldn't matter who was sitting where. Varanasi, the holy city where Shiva lived as a person some thousands of years ago is just as hot and dirty as Dehli. Ten of us rented a van and tour guide and went around the city today. It was lots of fun but the tour guide (as always I"m sure) was kind of weird. We took a boat out onto the Ganges and GET THIS: actually saw a dead body being dumped into the river. The river is considered holy so lots of people are either cremated and dumped in or just plain dumped in. This is the same holy river where people take their daily bath. I tried to get as little water on me as possible. Tomorrow we are waking up at 4am to watch the sun rise over the Ganges and then later that afternoon heading out to the location (I forget the name) where Budha gave his 1st sermon after his enlightenment. It's only 10 km outside of the city. Thank goodness for the few in our traveling group that speak Hindi. T morrow night we take another overnight train to Agra to see the Taj. I"m having a great time but was sad when our HHE group parted ways. The group of people was better than I could have expeceted and we all got very close over the 2 1/2 weeks. I now have some friends to visit if I ever go to the UK. Well, it's 11pm here so I'm off to bed. More updates as they come in!!

Well,
I remember why I felt so nervous at the beginning of this trip. Delhi is a crazy place. there are so many people, sounds, and signts. It is very overwhelming. Not to mention the heat. Today we visited the largest Mosque in India, the Red Fort, and took a bicycle rickshaw tour of Old Delhi markets. We broke up into 3 groups for the rickshaw tour and my group was the 3 girls. We gots lots of stares and many comments. I was seated on the back facing out to the street (instead of towards the driver) so I was up close and personal to everyone just behind the bicycle. I am meeting my group to travel to Varanessi in just a few minutes. We have a sleeper cabin on hte train and will arrive at 7:30 in hte morning to our destination. My full day in Manali was lots of fun. I went for a great hike and ended up with blisters on both heels. Oh well, the view and company was worth it. Got to run!! Will be home in another week and a half. Talk to you later.

Hey Guys,
I never did make it rafting. Appartently someone had died so our trip leader would not let any of us go. I had a nice hike toa buddist monastary instead. It was absolutely beautiful. It is crazy how my lungs give way so quickly. It mzakes me feel so out of shape. We finished our clinic. We only had 30 pts that first day so we went to a boarding school after lunch and did well child visits. Once again, my group only saw like 5 pepole. The next day though there were about 150 pt at the clinic. I worked the eye clinic that day nad we saw close to 40 pts. That may not sound like a lot but it was crazy having only a high schoooler and college student as interpreters. It rained the whole ways back to Manali today and of course we were driving straight thorugh the clould. I couldn't see anything but apparently our driver could. Tomorrow is a free day and I'm not sure what i'll be doing yet. If it's still raining I might just stay in and watch Ballywood movies all day. We've finially dcided waht to do after we get done with the medical part. We are going to take an overnight train to Veransee. It's where people go to bury their dead or throw them in the Ganges. Not kidding. It's a big spiritual site. Then we'll go to Agra to see the Taj and then to Japuir to do whatever there is to see there. There are 9 of ur from the trip that are travelling together afterwards. It should be really intereseting. By best freiend on the trip (Sarika) is also going to the 1st 2 plavces with us so I"m exiceted to have another girl to travel with. Well, I"m soaked so I'll sign off and head back to the hotel for a nice hot shower. Bathrooms are very interesting here. Apparently there is no need to separaate the shower from the toilet. Makes for a wet seat after someone has showered!!

So, we have finished the camping portion of our trip. We are staying a few nights in a hotel in Keylong. We traveled 4 hours today to get here, have the rest of today off and tomorrow also. Then we have only 2 more clinic days before a 14 hour bus ride back to Dehli. That's right, 14 hours. Tomorrow a bunch of us are planning on going white water rafting. Supposedly this area is very touristy. Maybe by Indian standards. I've loved the food so far and have yet to get sick. There have been plenty of people on our trip with Budha Belly but so far I"m still safe. I'm having a great time and I'll try to check the emails some of you have sent me later. Right now there's only 1 computer and about 20 people on our trip that want to use it. So... Everyone is great. I"m having lots of fun. I"m looking forward to more traveling once the medical portion of our trip is done. Catch ya later.

2008-07-18T18:28:00.001-04:00

So, this is really the last time that I will have internet for awhile. We spent last time in a hotel in Manali which is sort of a trail head for lots of hikers and treckers and is apparently know as the dope capital of India. It actually grows wild here. Weird. We are leaving in about 45 minutes and will pass over our highest planned altitude for the trip. Rhotang Pass is 13,400 feet. We may also have the opportunity to head over a 16,000 ft pass if we have time later on. We will start clinic tomorrow which I'm told is horrible the 1st day and great once you learn what you're doing. We are going to have 2 internal med tents one ped tent, and I might possibly be heading up an ophthalmology tent. We'll see what happens. I glad I brought so many books on ophthalmology. Almost the entire team is 2nd year med students. I think we have 3 MDs, 1 resident and 1 3rd year med student. Bascially, there's a bunch of us who have no idea what's going on. The guy leading the trip has been doing this since the early 90s so he has everything under control. I hope you all have enjoying your summer. We're about to head into Winterish temps. Look out for more updates!

So, after a 5 hour train ride and a 4 hour jeep ride we have made it up to Bilaspar which is in Himachal Pradash. Tonight we are resting in a hotel & I have a corner room with a beautiful view and large room. Tomorrow we head out for a 9 hour jeep ride to Manali after which we will head to our 1st village to start the medical portion of the trip. The views (that of the mountains) are beautiful and I look forward to posting them. So, once again, I believe that this will be my last internet access for 3 weeks but maybe I'll be surprised again. For now, just beware of monkeys slinging poo.

Well, I am here at our hotel. Although not the one that we were told we were going to. I was a little nervous at first as we were split up into 3 taxis and I didn't see the other 2. However, everyone is here and is doing fine. Our group of 4 met up with 5 others and we meet everyone else tomorrow. It is 1:35am here and I have to meet everyone in the lobby at 6:30am to catch our train up north. This is probably be my last email for about 3 weeks. My first impression is that I am glad I am with others. However, the trip ahead looks very promising. I'll update when I can. Take care,

House Buying

2008-07-17T11:57:00.003-04:00

Jennings and Anna have been in communication over the past month about buying a house via email since Anna is off exploring the world! It looks like they have settled on one. An offer has been made and a counter offer and has been accepted so the next step will be paying :-)

Here are some PICTURES of the house

House Buying

Jennings and Anna continue in the pursuit of buying a place! New decision on board... buy a duplex and rent out half or buy a corner of another duplex but without a place to rent out. Jennings waits for Anna's opinion...

As Anna left for India, her final request was that Jennings find the family a place to reside. She is not a very picky person. Jennings acted quickly and found them a nice van to live in down by the river. j/k Jennings went by the bank today to get pre-qualified for a loan so he could start looking into buying a townhouse. Next step, find a place to live! I hope Anna likes it...

Scary Month Round 1

2008-05-21T09:05:00.006-04:00

Scary Month Begins in the Berry House!
Rules: Each person gets 1 chance to scare the other and then hands off the camera no matter the results! Simple!
In this video we see Jennings explain SCARY MONTH and make his first attempt to scare Anna!

(with the person knowing they are going to be scared at some point these scary videos will most likely turn into comedy)
Don't Forget To Vote On Who Is The Scariest!!!!(on the right sidebar -->) You can change your vote throughout the month so vote now and change later(to Jennings)!!!

End of April

Well this month has been very busy in the Berry household. It seems like a year ago that I went to see Joe and it was only just a few weeks ago. Anna has about a month of school left and Jennings is gearing up for the summer. I'm use to summers being more enjoyable and relaxing, but I don't think I am going to be able to experience that this summer. I am currently reading What Matters Most by Doug Fields which is a really great book for thinking about getting your priorities straight especially in the ministry. I've also been working through a one volume copy about Gettysburg. It is amazing how many details have been recorded about the Civil War. Unfortunatly Anna does not have the luxury of relaxed reading :-( But she does enjoy an occasional short novel. We are starting to listen to a podcast from the Summit Church in Durham about the Song of Solomon and Love and Sex in the Bible. It should be interesting. I hope to get some more home videos on here soon...

Opps forgot to Post

Hey Jennings and Anna followers. Sorry I have not posted in a while. Everything is going well in the Berry household. Anna is working hard at finishing up her last month of her first year of med school. Jennings is getting ready for the summer with youth group stuff.
Jennings and Anna were looking to buy a house but that is not working out so they are looking for a live-in situation. As of right now they have housing for the summer but are looking for something more permanent for the Fall Semester. They are trusting that God will work something out. It would be awesome if they could find something that is big enough to have people from Church over to visit.
Well that's what's been happening in the Berry household. Hope you are well too.

Youth Video

2008-03-18T16:13:00.001-04:00

Here is a video Jennings made from an interview our youth did while on the Middle School Retreat. I thought you might enjoy! It really is an amazing picture when you see 6th graders lives changed by Christ so much so that they want to change the world and help others!!!

Stephen Curtis Chapman Concert

2008-03-14T13:02:00.019-04:00

Anna's Mommy Sharon won tix to the Stephen Curtis Chapman Concert. Anna and I used to listen to him before we started dating back in high school on our trips to train for track in Greensboro! The following blog chronicles our adventure of the concert!!!

In this clip Jennings attempts a video blog and almost drops the camera. This of course makes Anna laugh!

Here is the Walker vehicle using the flex-fuel.

Anna tells a story about Jennings at the Wofford Book Store

In case you can't hear all of her story it basically goes like this. Once upon a time Jennings owned a green ball cap. He left it at the Walker house and Daddy Walker started wearing it. He thought that the had belonged to Jessica Walker. Well today at the house Daddy Walker said to Jennings I like the hat you are wearing today(a nice Farm Bureau Hat) and then Daddy Walker said "I have been wearing this Life is Good hat for a while but I don't like it because it is kind of girly." Anna found this very amusing that Jennings had been wearing a girly hat.

Here we are at the concert...

And here we are backstage...

It was fun meeting Stephen he is a very nice and humble man. Hope you enjoyed our adventure!
