I do check my stats occasionally. and its funny to see from what places people end up here.
Their intention is sometimes funny.

Out of these, my favorite is “meaning lepeny in English” . What was he looking for? Can someone translate it for me?
Or “Bosnian car”???? Is there such a thing?
SO who can help me?

Hey people on the other side of the GREAT POND.
You need to go and by this book or I shoot your neighbor.
Ex missionary to Hungary has written it, I know him personally and I really doubt it would not be good.
So click and buy. 
Thanx.
Supporting the crew.
Laci the book reader not (yet) writer
Sorry for not writing, but I had to adjust to the new situation. Being a father of three. Trying to be a good husband and father will do for the excuse. Right? 
Many good things have happened to me lately. Even if it is still weird to live in Budapest. I will try to explain.
1. The fact that Lea goes to Kindergarten again, gives a rhytm to my every day. Thats good, finally I can plan when to do what.
2. Using Public transportation gives me TIME. To read, to listen to MP3, to think, sometimes even to write…
3. Have I adjusted or do I like living in CrazyPest, I mean Budapest? NO not at all.
But I started those little spots that I get to use for my edification. and thats needed.
Do I miss the Balkans? YOU BET.
How am I?
Living with the LORD. And thats the best, no matter where HE takes you.

Dear LORD,

The Nemeths
Before the show, I was told that a brother in the LORD, who has gone to the concert in Sweden said that the U2 360 Tour is: “What eyes have not seen and ears have not heard...”
To be honest I was “sure” he was exaggerating. I was WRONG.
I realy need to contemplate about the whole experience… but it was UNBELIVEABLE.
Let the pictures speak till I contemplate…
The “CLAW” stage that was way bigger then the Dinamo Stadium in Zagreb.
At like 5.30 Pm
Kyle lifting up his arm in the middle. right next to him Arpi and Andi, Balogh Robi, Madarasz Isti and the gang…
“The Hours” have opened first. Half full stadium.
During “Snow Patrol” the stadium got almost full. Both bands were AWESOME.
and then…
Larry walked in started to play the drums… and… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
what a message…
and guess what on the top of the CLAW????
A small but VERY shiny cross…
The Zagreb “Milky way”
and the good bye…
I was tearing up… several times even during making this post.
It was a spiritual experience, the show is built to give A MESSAGE… And Bono has preached 2-3 little 1 minute messages…
If it was not THE BEST experience of my life… then it still surely is in the TOP 5.
Thank you GOD for allowing me to go to it.

Please KEEP PRAYING. 
The outreach has started in SOuthern Budapest with very promising results. many lives reached and touched. several have already recieved JESUS into their lives and are eager to learn more… The first service will be on august 9th @ 10 am.
I am also slowly but surely better… so all should be fine for the weekend. Hopefully.
Here are the promised thought from the Peter Scazzero book on Shabbath:
“Shabbath literarly means: to cease, to stop working.”
“Shabbath is stopping to surrender to GOD in trust.Failure to do so is the very essence of the sin in the Garden of Eden.”
“It is 24 hours to rest and delight in God.”
“GOD worked, we are to work. GOD rested we are to rest.”
“Shabbath is a sign of liberation by GOD” Deut. 5:13
“The Shabbath calls us to build the doing of nothing into our daily schedules.”
“select a time period and protect it.”
“On Shabbath I embrace my limits. GOD IS GOD.”
“The core spiritual issue in stopping revolves around trust.”
“On Shabath do whatever delights and replenishes you.”
I have promised a post on shabath in my last post…. and then I posted.. but what GOD has showed me through studying it is that I broke it waay tooo often while serving in Vukovar and that because of that I will get a rest from GOD. Well I didn’t quit imagined it to be a week with Lea in the childrens hospital and right after that a week of isolated life at home. If you have read my facebook status you know that I have
All this, while planin and starting the new church, having the first church service on August 9th, and planing to go to the U2 concert on the 10th.
While this I saw a good picture on facebook, concerning our church plant and outreach. Its called: Labnyom (footprint). May the picture speak.
So, Please pray
1. for GOD to keep breaking me.
2. for GOD to heal me and protect my family from getting it.
3. for GOD to use this huge outreach, and church plant and may he guide all those involved in it.
4. for GOD to speak on August 9th.
5. for GOD to provide a rent for this new church…
THANK YOU TONS

I was suggested to reread a chapter in Peter Scazzero’s book titled: Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. The chapter was about our nead for rest and the fact that we need to practice a daily fellowship with GOD.
If you know me you know that I am often still a “careless punk”, when I am speaking… I do not pay much attention to be precise I rather expect others to figure it out…
Studies in general (but theology especially) have changed me. And what I will share now will be a perfect examlpe for the importance of being careful and precise with our usage of words, how we express things…
The writer exlains how it all start with the fact that we call our time with GOD Devotions or quite time. Its wrong.
Both are in singular. Both communicate its something you do once a day for few minutes and yu are done. But do we eat only once a day? NO. then why would we be satisfied with 1 short spiritual meal a day?
He offers the name Daily office… I am not too thrilled with that name either… but I like when he descirbes it as “practicing the presence of GOD”(brother Lawrence).
It is more then just reading the Bible, Praying, aybe a devotional, then Church (sunday and midweek), maybe home fellowship, etc.
The connection point between shabbath and Practicing the Daily presence of God…is the following. they both require us to STOP. Stopping and surrenderin to GOD in trust.
Trusting our time, trusting the he cares, trsuting that he takes care…
He draws his knowledge from studying many different groups of Christians. here are soe quotes from him:
“The root of the Daily Office is not so much a turning to GOD to get something but to be with Someone.” How important to keep in mind….
It also has to be a rhythm. several times a day connecting with GOD. He draws the example of the Trappist monks. I would spare you from reading Pslams at 3.45 am… but it surely is neccesary to find a rhythm that works for you… I would say at least 3-5 different points of your day when you SURELY stop and surrender to GOD in trust.
David has prayed 7 times a day (Psalm 119:164)
Muslims Stop and surrender to Allah 5 times a day.
Daniel prayed 3 times a day (Daniel 6:10)
How many times do you and me do it?
“The key is regular remembrance of GOD, not length.”
“The purpose of the Daily Office is to remember GOD and commune with HIM all through our days.”
SO THATS FOR THE DAILY TIME SPENT WITH GOD…
Laci who tries to learn…
P.s. Shabbath with follow.
Henri J.M. Nouwen wrote a little book called: In the name of Jesus. He describes the caracteristics of the 21.c. leader…
here are few thoughts from the book:
“… the term “burn out” was a convenient psychological translation for a spiritual death.”
“Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his her own vulnerable self.”
“JESUS’ first temtation was to be relevant, to turn stones into bread.”
“The leader of the future will be the one who dares to claim his irrelevance in the contemporary world as a divine vocation that allows himor her to enter into a deep solidarity with the anguish underlying all the glitter of succes and to bring light of Jesus there.”
“Do you love me? is the question that we have to hear and make central of our Christian ministry because it is the question that can allow us to be, at the same time, irrelevant and trully slef-confident.“
“…shared ministry… the example of CHRIST.”
“…JESUS sends out the 12 in pairs(Mark 6:7). … We cannot bring good news on our own.”
“…leaders need to ask for forgiveness from those to whom they minister.”
“what makes the temptation of power so seemingly irresistable? Maybe it is that power offers an easy substitute for the hard task of love. It sees easier to be God than to love God, easier to control people then to love people, easier to own life then to love life.”
“The world says: “When you were young you were dependent and could not go where you wanted, but when you grow old you will be able to make your own decisions, go your own way and controll your own destiny.” But JESUS has a different vision of maturity: It is the ability and willingness to be led where you would rather not go.”
” I am speaking of a leadership in which power is constantly abandoned in favor of love.”
“The Christian leader of the future needs to be radically poor, journeying with nothing except a staff… “no bread, no haversack, no money, no spare tunic” (Mark 6:8).
“The Christian leaders of the future have to be theologians, persons who know the heart of God and are trained – through prayer, study, and careful analysis – to manifest the divine event of God’s saving work in the midst of the many seemingly random events of their time.”
