Bagal Bites and Pudding Cups on my Paper Plate
half a Dozen Water Bottles
and a teal sweaty shirt
I press my face to the window,
a wrapper sticks to my shirt.
Eight people in a stinky van,
a couple more couldn't hurt.
Eat some food off the floor.
I've developed a taste for bread mold.
Ride aroudn in a van,
don't take a shower for 2 days and...

We've been given superpowers,
ask us for an NIV
We sing, we dance we'll make you laugh,
don't you want to be like us?
We've been given superpowers,
ask about our Jumps and Rolls
our hair , our clothes, hobbies, and pets.
Is That Guy a Christian Yet

Everyone in the Team can't stand me,
just because I fell off the stage,
and kind of by accident,
I broke the Preachers legs.
Sometimes we have a deadline for Learning our songs.
Five minutes left to Learn this one la,la,la,la,la,la,la.
Sleep in a sleeping bag.
Every floor looks the same as last night.
You wake up, you dance, and Have a blast
and then you start again.

I sometimes feel like I'm Paster Marty
sometimes Jack Haglen.
I wanted to be Staff
now I want to take it back.
Don't want to Do the Dance
dont' want to Where the shirts
I just want to share with you,
how we got this peace and hope.

I once wanted to be staff
now I want to take it back.

It started out as an average day in Lake Stevens that was soon to change. After school I got bored of the average watching TV and emailing friends so I decided to ride my bike. I came up to this long street with tall trees along both sides. I started to ride down the orange and red leave covered sidewalks. When I see what looks like a bearded man in a robe jump behind the tree in front of me, then all of a sudden I get hit with something I went tumbling over the handle bars and into a rather large tree. Every thing went black, I woke up in them middle of a dusty road surrounded by tall stone buildings. I stood up and started slowly walking down the road, there was no one on the street.Wheni finally built up enough courage to go knock on a door, I find the least scary door. I walk up to this stone house with a big wooden door, I knock. An old man opens the door and I ask him where every one was and he said “it’s Passover” he quickly tried to shut the door, but I stopped him and asked him where I should go. He said I could stay here but id have to help serve his guest. So I humbly agreed. I walked in to his house  and all I saw was his family sitting at a small wood table. Then one of the women sitting at the table got up and handed me a basket of bread. Me still being a bit confused to where the guest where asked them what I should do now, then I got pointed toward a stair case in the back of the room. I slowly walked up the stairs and into I big room with a single table with 13 men sitting around it.
As I was leaving I here one of the men say “The one who dips his hand into the bowl with mine will betray me”. As I walked down the stair it all snapped in my head that was Jesus and this was the last supper. I finished the pass over with the family, the whole time thinking about Jesus and what he was going to do. I got up to leave just as Jesus and the twelve were coming down the stairs. Me knowing what was going to happen tried to stop him but the disciples just stopped . me. I followed them all the way to the garden, I watched from a distance as Jesus went of and prayed and came back to find the disciples sleeping, This happened multiply times. Then  I heard footsteps behind me so I ran and climbed up a tree and watched. I  saw a crowd of armed people coming up following Judas. He said “the man I kiss is the man, arrest him” then Judas walked up to Jesus and kissed him, and the crowed followed. They took Jesus away. I was shocked and by by the looks of it so were some of the disciples, I followed the last disciple to a big court. I wiggled my way into the crowed to hear them yell and spit and beat Jesus. I couldn’t stand it so I had to leave. I went out and sat around a small fire, then I looked up and saw peter talking to a women and he ran off crying just as the rooster crowed. I wanted to go help him but I wanted to stay with Jesus more. Then the crowd took Jesus to anther court and I heard on the way they were taking him in front of Pilate. I tried to get my way into the court but I couldn’t. I managed to hear Pilate say Who should I release I jumped and shouted ‘JESUS” but it didn’t do any good. Then I heard the crowd shouting “Crucify Him” I cried out and shouted but they just pushed me away and led Jesus away around a corner. Like a halve an hour later they led him back and he was a beaten and bleeding, I could barley stand to look at him.They led him to the middle of the crowd and a bunch of solders gathered around him. When they left they had put a crown of thorns on His head and there was blood flowing down His face. Jesus was lead up and out of the City, The solders laid a cross on the ground and nailed Jesus to it, it looked so painful I could barley stand it, but this time I was almost crying. They raised him and I dropped to the ground crying. I looked up to see people and solders alike walk by and spit and throw insults at him. I wanted to stop them but I knew I couldn’t. After six hours I was cold and covered in tears, all of a sudden it went black, and I when I opened my eyes I was back in lake Stevens laying on the side walk. There was a man standing above me in a bath robe poking me and saying “hey kid you ok” I ran back to my house and told every one I could what had happened. N one believed me, only I knew what had happened that day.
