Starbucks, Mike Bickle, and child prodigies



Does anyone else notice that wealthier people tend to go to cheep low quality Starbucks, while poor college kids all go to expensive high quality coffee shops? Such is life.

I am at Starbucks right now because it is the only coffee shop I have yet to run into somebody I know, and today I really need to focus on studying. No people sitting down talking to me. Funny that I am making a blog entry though. I just trade one distraction for another.

I ended up running into 3 different people I know at starbucks. That cost me 2 hours of study time.


Lydia (9), and Leah (11), jointly wrote one of the most poetic and musically impressive songs I have ever encountered. Check it out:


My dreams- By Leah & Lydia Powers



I have lived on the borders,
My real face unseen,
But where I go now,
Has no boundaries, but dreams
Walk with me,
walk with me
Out of this night
For you are my love
And you are my light



I have gone on long journeys
While walking in dreams
I’m running away
From those who seek me
I will dance with my love
In bright golden fields
And where we go
No one sees but in dreams


As I walk through this green field
While the bright sun sets
I dance and I sing
Forgetting my regrets
I will travel in dreams
I will go here and there
And where I have been,
Well I’ve been every where


I have lived
I have lived
On these strange borders
And you can’t see my face
So walk with me
Walk with me
Out of this night
For you are my love
And you are my light

Lydia was explaining its meaning to me, it is about a girl who lives by traveling through dreams. She doesn't have a real body, and her entire life is lived through the dreams we have. She is that friend that we fall in love with for a moment in our sleep, or the person we go on a grand adventure with. She lives moment by moment, dream to dream, night to night, and person to person. Really freaking creative.

Read a little out of Mike Bickle's Revelation's Study Guide. This is what I ran into within the first few pages.

Revelation 1:1

"The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him to show his servants-things that must shortly take place."

Mike Bickle's Study Guide on Revelation's: Comment on Revelation 1:1

"Revelation is not primarily about events that will happen."

What? Did he just say what I think he said?

Contrast "things that must shortly take place(Rev 1:1)" to "Revelation is not primarily about events that will happen. (Mike B.)"

For a second I thought he might actually present some convincing arguments on his views of the book of revelation. Not.
