Alice's Restaurant Massacree
Came to talk about the draft.
And the only reason I'm
singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar
situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a
situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into
the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get
anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.
And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the
guitar.
With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and
sing it when it does. Here it comes.
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
That was horrible. If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud.
I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes. I could sing it
for another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud... or tired.
So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part
harmony and feeling.
We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing.
All right now.
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Excepting Alice
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

Psalm 51: 1-17
1 Have mercy upon me, O God,
according to thy loving-kindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned
and done this evil in thy sight:
that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,
and be clear when thou judgest. Rom. 3.4
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:
and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness;
that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins,
and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence;
and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;
and uphold me with thy free Spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;
and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
thou God of my salvation:
and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips;
and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
16 For thou desirest not sacrifice;
else would I give it:
thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
a broken and a contrite heart, O God,
thou wilt not despise.
according to thy loving-kindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.

and my sin is ever before me.

else would I give it:

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
a broken and a contrite heart, O God,
thou wilt not despise.
17 Though the fig tree should not blossom
And though there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield if olive should fail
And the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold
And there be no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will exult in the LORD,
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
19 The Lord God is my strength;
He has maked my feet like hind's feet,
And makes me walk on my high places.
The devotional that we studied in Mexico,Claiming the Gospel in Daily Life, Talks about trusting completely in God for everything and realizing that He is in control of everything that happens to us. We also discussed how Faith is an essential part of the Christians life. Although it is a minor book, by an minor prophet, Habakkuk is an amazing example of Faith in God. Habakkuk sees what is going to happen to him and the rest of his people, and although it is horrible, he sings praises to God. His faith is amazing and it shames me. I don't know if I would be able to do what he did.

Mexico
This is a post about a girl who went to Mexico City with a mission team from her Church. The trip down was ok, she was sick and had a stuffed up nose, so that made flying not fun. When she got to Mexico she was astonished by the poverty and colors and the people. There were so many of them! The first couple of days went slowly for her, the team was setting up for the VBS and getting to know the people at the church. On Monday VBS started in earnest and she met her group of kids. They were a great group of kids. Each of the kids on the team said that their group was the best and the crazy. But this girl's group was the Craziest group. Their team name was Los Tucanes. The entire team was made up of boys and maybe at most two girls. After VBS was over in the afternoon they would walk about three blocks to the neighborhood park. She really enjoyed the park, especially the Rapido courts. The Days were pretty much the same VBS and then Park. The nights she and another girl in the group would go out with their host family. They went all over, and saw alot of the culture and life in Mexico. Thursday was alittle different. The church was sponsering a soccer tournament so the entire team ran straight to the park after VBS, the girls sat and watched and Cheered and some of the guys on the team played. As the week went by the girl could see God working in the kids at VBS and at the Park, God was challenging her and her friends to become closer and stronger as Christians. She could also feel God working in her heart and life. I was that girl. Some people come back from a missions team and have amazing stories about how God was with the team and they converted a whole bunch of people. But I can't say that, I can say that we had a great time that we really bonded with the kids. God was with us that week, he protected us and helped us deal with the obsticles that were placed in our way. I can say that I am not the same girl that went down. I miss the kids, I love the city and God willing I will go back next year.
