Hosanna hosanna
Hosanna in the highest.

I thought Ignite was GOOD. Pastor Joakim (pronounced Yo-kim)'s sermons were not difficult to comprehend and he taught simple steps in reaching out to our schools. He gave many many extraordinary examples and it was really encouraging to listen to all of them.

He was right, the last session was the best and I think everyone in the whole stadium-like auditorium was touched and inspired in many different ways. And when we were singing praises, everyone felt the floor tremble and shake. That wasn't only for the last session but for all sessions. That's why they requested for people not to jump so much. First time in the history of all christian conferences were the people asked not to jump.

What I won't forget is the bell ringing at the end. The Queen of Ireland ship's bell wasn't that grand or anything. It looked like those you see at Long John Silver's ( is it?) where they place it at the entrance and ask you to ring if you were satisfied with the service. Haha.

But. The story behind the bell was touching and it moved me. What the young Salvation's Army girl told that man twice her age shocked me. It was difficult to imagine that a young girl would willingly throw across her life-vest to save the man's life and get angry when he threw it back.

"Take it. I'll die better than you."

I'll die better than you.
