As a fire burns down to coals.. *something is needed to keep the fire brite- Fuel is added of course.. but also the Ranger will *stirr- the embers! If possible as in a "forge" the addition air is added (O2) the fire will burn hot and raise it's core temp from yellow to WHITE HOT! ....I call this *stoke! Surfers paddle out into the Ocean to set-up for series of swells.. these swells are "energy forces" that travel in "cycles" sometimes for thousand of miles.. the longer the travel and the larger the force behind the swell... all that is called the "fetch" of the storm... The North shore of Hawaii is famious for it's surf... Wieameia Bay has monster surf that can rise to 25feet or more! That's taller than your house or church.. and surfers ride these things on thin boards of glasscovered foam! The "fetch" of that surf comes from the open ocean clear to the north pole! Energy from 10,000 miles arrives is cyclic sets.. to rise as the "foot" of the swell touches the Ocean bottom some 125 or feet down! *Next the top of the "cyclic swell" rises as the water is displaced by the on-comming energy... (*You surf-dogs digg'n this?<G>) At one point... the cycle collapses and the top continues over to form a "Tube"... if say YOU! were to "catch" this wave and set-up at the "foot" and "dodge" the "breaking lip" you would be in the tube... surfing in the "sparkle palace".... The natural excitement of the monent will transfer into JOY... *This my fellow surf-dudes is the "Stoke factor"<G> To say: Get Stoked... means then, to get filled with JOY UNSPEAKIBLE and be FULL OF GLORY! *How can we surf in Royal Rangers? ----------------------------------- *Boys are lost in a dark ocean of the un-known.. they are wanting to come home to Jesus and friends like you... *But they carry energy that will be *potentialy, released... If we as Rangers do not reach out.. (*catch them) that energy.. (The need to find the Joy of the Lord) will pass... they will fade and in time never come to a saveing knoledge of *Jesus! (so say the statistics) What is the result of bringing a friend.. that is headed to Hell to the Lord? *I say it's *STOKEAHBOKAH and the outpost is surf city! GET STOKED!
