      <description>&lt;p&gt;
   You KNOW you are going to have a GREAT TIME at Xiu Xian Tea in Bellevue or Kent Washington
   when you walk in and see it&amp;rsquo;s owner some certain PEOPLE -&amp;gt;-&amp;gt;-&amp;gt;Mako
   Carlson&amp;lt;-&amp;lt;-&amp;lt;- LOOKING AT YOU like THIS!!!:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   &lt;img border="0" alt="MakoAtXiuXianTea" src="http://www.klump-pdx.com/blog/content/binary/BlogJetImages/MakoAtXiuXianTea.jpg" /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   You know for a fact that you will be IN FOR IT in such a warm and loving way as she
   takes you in as her friend to show you about TEA, and what joy it means to be her
   friend at her tea party.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Great as she is being a professional, I still cannot convince her about EXPERIENCING
   the MASS long before it begins in the morning, and several hours before she needs
   to open for the day. As you can see, there STILL has not been a reply:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;
   &lt;font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffffd" color="#427d64" face="Arial"&gt;Dear Mako,&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix ="" o ns ="" "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;
   &lt;o:p&gt;
      &lt;font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffffd" color="#427d64" face="Arial"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;
   &lt;/o:p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;
   &lt;font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffffd" color="#427d64" face="Arial"&gt;St. James Cathedral
   the really big and beautiful church cathedral in Seattle has mass at a 8am on Sunday
   mornings, and also at 8:15am on Saturday mornings, and also on weekday mornings at
   8:15am as well.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;
   &lt;o:p&gt;
      &lt;font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffffd" color="#427d64" face="Arial"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;
   &lt;/o:p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;
   &lt;font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffffd" color="#427d64" face="Arial"&gt;The mass starts
   a little bit later in the day at 9:00am in the morning on weekdays at our church St.
   Louise De Marillac at 141 SE 156&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; Ave, Bellevue, WA 98008. This mass is
   usually not accompanied by music except on Wednesday when we get to share mass with
   the children at St. Louise School.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;
   &lt;o:p&gt;
      &lt;font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffffd" color="#427d64" face="Arial"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;
   &lt;/o:p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;
   &lt;font color="#427d64"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffffd"&gt;Mako,
   would you please be willing to come to mass with Jill and I possibly on a Wednesday
   or Saturday morning and experience God Love with us?&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; COLOR: #0070c0"&gt;
   &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;
   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;
   &lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; COLOR: #0070c0"&gt;&lt;font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffffd"&gt;Sincerely
   yours, and God Bless!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;
   &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

      <title>Faith Begets Expectation, and Expectation Begets God to Act</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;
   You and we can never raise above our persuasion.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   The ONLY PARTS of the BIBLE that will&amp;nbsp;COME TRUE for YOU in your LIFE and in MINE&amp;nbsp;are
   the parts of the BIBLE that you and I BELIEVE.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   There are at least 331 times the Word Of God speaks IF I act (out of obedience), then
   the corresponding prescribed law will result as understood in Isaiah 1:17.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Act in accordance to how Melchizedek gave God what is his as understood in Genesis
   14:18&amp;ndash;20
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Your field is your income, your corners are your outgoing tithe. If you make your
   corners larger for God, then God will make your field larger as understood in Deuteronomy
   14:22&amp;ndash;25.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Obey God, test him, and see what he will not do for you in your life as understood
   in Leviticus 26:1&amp;ndash;13, Deuteronomy 26:14, Deuteronomy 28:1&amp;ndash;14. Doing the
   opposite for the help of ourselves&amp;nbsp;results in the opposite of blessings as in
   Deuteronomy 28:15&amp;ndash;69 and Leviticus 26:14&amp;ndash;46.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Something that I have can be traded for something&amp;nbsp;that I want. By sowing tithes
   and offerings with expectation that more will come back from God to prove that he
   is there as understood in Malachi 3:10.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   The seed offering you have will stay as it is unless you sow it, and allow it to die
   to bring about a harvest in your life as understood in Luke 6:38.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Anything given up for God in this life and in his name will be given back in this
   life a hundred time more, and inherit eternal life after this life is done as understood
   in Matthew 19:29.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Belief in how God loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who
   believes in him may not perish but have eternal life, professes that God never lies,
   period, otherwise all his promises and the entire bible, his word, is made completely
   false as understood in John 3:16.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   My personal belief in this Law of God I have come to understand as his Law of the
   Seed, Time, and Harvest.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   This conviction I now have lead me to sow with expectation a very sacrificial $100.00
   USD with our brotherhood in our Knights Of Columbus charity I know as Pennies For
   Heaven to train our Holy Orders seminarian vocations in the Deaconate, Priesthood,
   Brotherhood, and Sisterhood. The result I have traced as God&amp;rsquo;s reaction to my
   Seed is CommandTRADE FX (&lt;a href="http://www.commandtradefx.com/"&gt;http://www.commandtradefx.com&lt;/a&gt;)
   which will continue to give for the rest of our lives&amp;hellip;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Using God&amp;rsquo;s gift to first give back to him in thanks giving will provide an
   overflowing for the rest of our lives according to his word. Our proof of this is
   on the day of October 24th, 2009, our total equity (cash value) of our trading account
   was $2000.00 USD that we had started with after we had sown&amp;nbsp;our Seed to God nearly
   6 months prior to the day on Thursday, April 9th, 2009 after I had lost my job that
   December. Exactly 54 calendar days later on December 18, 2009, our trading account
   had doubled to $3999.64 USD.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Please take a look at the picture of our Trade Manager on that day in our software:
&lt;/p&gt;

   Dearest Brothers Knights of my council St. Louise Overlake 4385:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;
   &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;
   &lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; COLOR: #0070c0"&gt;
   &lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;
   &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;
   &lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; COLOR: #0070c0"&gt;I truly feel that Our Father
   God Most High is calling all three of us now in the Name above all names, Jesus Christ
   Our Lord, and through us the power of the Holy Spirit to make our Brother&amp;rsquo;s
   Round Table an Absolute Reality!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;
   &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;
   &lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; COLOR: #0070c0"&gt;Here is what we must do (I
   cannot do this alone without your help!):&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;
   &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoListParagraph"&gt;
   &lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; COLOR: #0070c0; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Courier New'"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-list: Ignore"&gt;1.&lt;span style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; COLOR: #0070c0"&gt;Worthy
   Financial Secretary Trevy, I need you to order from Supreme four booklets #2632 entitled
   &amp;ldquo;K of C Round Table Booklet&amp;rdquo;, and hand each of us a copy of this. One
   for yourself to use, one for Brother Jorge Moreno, one for Worthy District Deputy
   Carmelo, and one for me (Matthew James).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;
   &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoListParagraph"&gt;

   of us must read and understand the guidelines, bylaws, and instructions for having
   and coordinating a K of C Round Table possibly here at St. Louise. [My instructions
   are explicitly telling me that a K of C Round Table is almost always at a different
   parish, but for our Spanish speaking community here at St. Louise, we are going to
   make an exception to this &amp;ldquo;rule&amp;rdquo; to very lovingly include them with us.]&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;
   &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoListParagraph"&gt;
   &lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; COLOR: #0070c0; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Courier New'"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-list: Ignore"&gt;3.&lt;span style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; COLOR: #0070c0"&gt;Worthy
   Warden Brother Jorge, (this is the critical part) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings; COLOR: #0070c0"&gt;à&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'; COLOR: #0070c0"&gt; I
   need your help to start building a list of names in our Parish that we can show to
   Father Tom. To do this, I need your help to personally one-on-one contact as many
   Brother Knights, Brother Spanish Speaking/Hispanic Knights, and any other prospective
   new member candidates who we could also initiate and get them to their First (1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;)
   Degree also wanting to be part of this wonderful new Round Table!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;
   &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoListParagraph"&gt;

   we have all the knowledge that we need, and a list of names as proof of Brother Knights
   and Candidates wanting to help our church and be good stewards in good service for
   our parish community as much as I do, then at that time it will be right for the four
   (4) of us to meet with Father Tom (with a booklet and copy of the list he can have),
   and ask his permission to officially form St. Louise 4385 Round Table of our Latin
   American and Hispanic Brother Knights under the support and direction of our council.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;
   &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1" class="MsoListParagraph"&gt;

   Father says &amp;ldquo;Yes, you may&amp;rdquo;, then Jorge with you we will together fill
   out form #2629 tha we have copies of, and send this to Supreme so that they know who
   is coordinating our new Round Table. Once we establish your guy&amp;rsquo;s activities
   as service to the parish, then we will annually fill out form #2630 &amp;ldquo;Annual
   Report KofC Round Table&amp;rdquo; and send to Supreme by June 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of each
   year. Although, we don&amp;rsquo;t have to worry about form #2630 until we get to that
   point.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;

      We do so love being greeted at Xiu Xian Tea that we must take a few minutes to sit

        <li>
          <strong>Pros:</strong> Excellent Atmosphere to See, Smell, and try Tasting

      Most especially wonderful, there is always a story to share about the teas and the

      give our thanks in faithful prayer for allowing us to participate in this most holy

      the Garden of Innocence. In this garden, one will find a very peaceful place to simply
      be and meditate on what life means before the Holy Family in their desire for the
      protection of mankind at the beginning of life, and also at the end of life.

   I hadn&amp;rsquo;t been a Sir Knight of Columbus for even a year, and I have already been
   elected to an officer position to stand guard as Faithful Outer Sentinel&amp;hellip;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Eric Iwasyk is our Assembly&amp;rsquo;s other guarding officer as Faithful Inner Sentinel
   that you see in this picture:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   Naturally, my beloved wife Jill could not stop giggling while see took this picture
   and hung our officer&amp;rsquo;s medals around our necks:

      <description>&lt;p&gt;
   I realize the blog post is a bit over due, but here it goes...
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   This&amp;nbsp;picture was taken at Everett, Washington United States Navel Base on Saturday,
   March 1st, 2008. The occasion was to humbly promote me to the esteemed rank of Sir
   Knight: Matthew James Klump in 4th Degree&amp;nbsp;of the Knights of Columbus as a new
   member of his Very Reverend William J. Power assembly 1630. I appear in this photo
   with our Master of Ceremonies, myself mistakenly wearing my name badge with my tuxedo,
   and my wife Jill with her brides maid dress that you recognise from the wedding of
   Caroline Hill and Patrick Pitz.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   &lt;img alt="4th_DegreeCommencement#1" src="http://www.klump-pdx.com/blog/content/binary/BlogJetImages/4th_DegreeCommencement_231.jpg" border="0" /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   In this photograph with my Jill and I is Brother Sir Knight Trevy Burgess who was
   knighted the same time I was.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   &lt;img alt="4th_DegreeCommencement#2" src="http://www.klump-pdx.com/blog/content/binary/BlogJetImages/4th_DegreeCommencement_232.jpg" border="0" /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   This is our actual moment of being knighted: My eyes are closed praying to Almighty
   Father God Most High while kneeling before a member of the Washington 4th Degree Team,
   also giving my oath to protect and defend our church&amp;nbsp;including our clergy of
   brother Priests in the Holy Roman Catholic Church. It looks like Jill momentarily
   found something funny to look at.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   &lt;img alt="4th_DegreeCommencement#3" src="http://www.klump-pdx.com/blog/content/binary/BlogJetImages/4th_DegreeCommencement_233.jpg" border="0" /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
   In this second picture of our knighting, it looks like our roles are reversed with
   Jill&amp;rsquo;s eyes closed and my eyes being opened (presumed of course by God himself).
   At the time I think I was looking at another member of the 4th Degree Team, and looks
   hard to tell, but Jill is either praying or still laughing, I can&amp;rsquo;t tell which.
   My assumption is that she is praying.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
