Thanks for dropping by. My name is Daniel HighCloud. I am a
Native American, and it is a great heritage. I grew up on a
Cherokee reservation with my parents in Arizona. My mom
runs a pottery shop and my dad runs a horse ranch where he
raises Mustangs. Being a part of these lands before the
rest of the world joined us is almost like the Jewish people
getting to be first to knowing God. There are not many
Cherokee people around anymore, so we try to keep
some of the traditions alive when it comes to family.
.
I love nature because it
reminds me of how great God
is. My culture is all about
nature and living off the
land and keeping the earth
in good shape. I am pretty
sure it is for this reason
that I wanted to become
a park ranger. I enjoy the
outdoors and educating
people about the creation that I have come to know
and enjoy. I work in a park in the Ozark Mountains
in Missouri. It is really beautiful here, especially in
the fall when the trees are all turning colors and the
air is crisp. At night the sky is clear and the starts
sparkle so bright. God's creation sings of His glory
and is just amazing. I enjoy my job because I get to
camp in the wilderness, and it is always fun to see
how the groups react to nature and leaving behind
the basic "needs" of electricity and technology.
Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seeds in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and the creatures that move on the ground -- everything that has the breath of life in it -- I give every green plant for food." Genesis 1:29-30

It will be glorious to share our stories
how we worked as a team to make
HIM shine in the Glory He is used to.
Then to see how our stories will inter-
connect with each other. It will be
like a tapestry of the most wonderful
material and colors. It will be exciting
to see who was affected when I was
walking in obedience.
You know, God won't sign off on
just 'any old' work. That is why He
is meticulous most the time. He
wouldn't ask us to do anything that
He didn't KNOW we could do. He
IS the maker, and He KNOWS
what we are made of. He put His
mark on us and can identify us.
He knows His own.
It takes some effort on our parts
to make sure we are accountable
for our actions. We can't live
hap-hazard. It is our responsi-
bility to read the bible and pray.
We can't have someone else do
it for us, that is laziness.
Besides, it is one of the ways
God talks to us, is through His
Word. It is like many letters.
I love the outdoors. There is so
much to see and so much to do.
God is all around us. He made the
best live entertainment there could
ever be. The air is sweet. Rocks are
beautiful. Plants are amazing. We
can fill our days with communion.
I can't imagine watching T.V., over
doing things outside. I love natural
things, because I can see Him in all
of it. He made so many wonders.
Caverns, the Grand Canyon, Mount
Everest, the Great Barrier Reef,
Victoria Falls, the Paricutin
Volcano, the Northern Lights, and
the harbor of the Rio Grand.
He has a Grandmaster's plan,
because He IS the Grandmaster.
His creation is most outstanding
from the ameba or ant to the
Grand Canyon or the universe.
The design he made with us as
individuals is just as amazing.
Each of us being so different and
His signature is on us. "Many
are called, few are choosen",
that is in Matthew 22:14.
God does want us to reach as
many people as we can. We
sure don't want to get there
and find that we didn't take
some of our brothers and
sisters because we didn't take
the time to share God with
them. That would be heart
breaking.
Some of my Christian
brothers and sisters are on
a team called the JTeam.
We serve together to serve
others. We unite together
in prayer. We agree
together and lift up people
to our Father. We make
ourselves available to the
Holy Spirit, so that He
can use us according to
the Father's Will. It's a
pretty awesome plan.
Personally, what I like so
much about the team, is
that they are all from
different places in the
world. Together, we agree
to be used by God. And
we have the best time
being in His presence.
The men are strong, like
God intended them to be.
The women are beautiful
from the inside out. God's
people are meant to compli
ment each other. I believe
we do that. It is simple
and yet, from a distance I
am sure it is very complex.
God does intricate work.
Life is good, God is good!
God IS life, love and all
that is Good!
Jesse Taylor is one of my
best friends. He is the
leader of the JTeam. The
other team mates are
Nikko Askelopos, Matthew
Rubinstein, Scong Yeng,
Leigh Foster, Sharla
Dalley, MariaMolena
Delgado, and Jameal Abby.
I hope you get to know all the team members
and become apart of the team yourself. Share
with us some of your stories of the power of
prayer. We would love to hear from you.

"For God so loved the world
that He gave His only
begotten Son. That who so
ever should believe on Him,
shall be saved." John 3:16
I'm really hoping that you
can drop me a line or two.
I would love to hear what
you might be thinking of
the team.
I'm proud to be a son of God. I know it means walking upright. But it is so
worth it. It is an honorable life. I can relate with so many cultures that
deem 'honor' with high regard. I appreciate my brothers and sisters in Christ.
They also walk righteous before the Lord, because the state of their hearts is
always in repentance. Their desire is to bring glory to our Heavenly Father.
A good many people
will not understand
God. It will be sad,
but it is only "for
those who have ears to
hear" Matt. 13:43
and in seven other
scriptures it says the
same thing. Not
everyone can hear.
Pray hard for them.
I collect arrow heads
and fossils. If you
would like to write
me a note and send
me one, I will tag it
with your name and
put it in my
collection. I will
send you a JTeam
souvenir. Please
make sure that I can
read your return
address, so I get the
souvenir back to you.
Also, tell me about
yourself. Our crew
would love to hold
you up in prayer.
If you like adventure, come with me
on a journey into people's lives. Lets
take the gospel to other places. Lets
spread the Good News. Lets teach
others how to find Christ in their lives.
Lets join together, allowing God to use
us to serve, reach, build and give to
anyone that 'has ears to hear'.
The Color Blue - Represents the calm of the skies. The breeze and the ease of the Holy Spirit. The
gentleness of seeing the truth as one operates in the gift of Discernment.
The Regal Attire - Reminder that we are 'kings and priests, and a holy nation'. "And from Jesus
Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of
the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us
kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
Revelations 1:5-6
The Crown - To remind us that when we achieve heaven, we will have crowns to cast at the feet of our
Sovereign Lord.
(as in Revelations 4:10-11)
The Markings are the Skin - Represents God marking us as a
'chosen generation', as in the scripture, "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light:" I Peter 2:9
The Mirrored Reflecting Breast Plate - Represents the Breast of righteousness, as in Ephesians 6:14,
"Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of
righteousness in place." The Reflection in the breast plate shows the condition of the 'spirit' of the
person that 'Discernment' is facing.
The Glove on the Right Hand - Represents the location, where Jesus is in perspective to our Heavenly
Father, which
is at HIS Right Hand. Also, it represents the power of the Holy Ghost as He moves through others
in the 'laying on of Hands' through prayers.
To my friend, Claudia,
I am most thankful to God, that He allowed me to just
be around you. Your influence in my life is one
I hold dear. Your patience in the
mist of my craziness, always
humbles me. When I am or
have felt 'weird' or 'out of
place', God brings YOU to my
mind. Go figure, huh? *laughs*
You always put me in remembrance of His Word. You
remind me to feel comfortable in my own skin. You have been a
mentor, a friend and an inspiration to me. Thank you!
May God richly and continually bless you and your family.
Sincerely,
Vicky
