Want to make your child apathetic about their faith? Read on.

Scott is blunt, but what he says is true.  If you want to make your child apathetic about their faith, follow these instructions.

A number of friends that I know were involved in sports growing up, myself included, never went on to play sports further beyond college, if they ever did sports in college at all.

What’s more important?  Sports or your relationship with God?

It’s a nice rainy day…  went to Starbucks to focus on getting a budget done.  Then working on a car.  Haley is up visiting Becky Kaiser.  Gotta love easy going days…

Fading distant lights…

Like the story that we wish was never ending…
We know sometime we must reach the final page…

Still we carry on just pretending…
That there’ll always be one more day to go…

Called into service…

1 Kings 19
The Call of Elisha
19 So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him. 20 Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father and mother good-by,” he said, “and then I will come with you.”  ”Go back,” Elijah replied. “What have I done to you?”
21 So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his attendant.
Last night will be a night that I will remember for the rest of my life.  I was called into service to be the middle school youth pastor.  This set of verses were shared by Matt prior to explaining to the students what would be happening this school year.
I was happy to see that the students were receptive to the idea – they didn’t complain or have concerns about it.  It was a blessing to see them being positive about the idea.

Start of the Youth Group school year…

Sep 07 2010 Published by under youth group

I’m very excited to see what God will bring for the youth group this school year, both JAM and the Underground.

There will be familiar faces as well as new faces.  If you could, please pray for the students in both groups this year.

This year I am looking forward to students solidify the basics of their beliefs and as the year progresses, connect more with Jesus so in turn, they can be an example of Jesus to others.

Legendary Edition

Legendary Edition

Can hardly wait for Sept 14th.  That is the day Halo Reach is released to the masses.  Yes, I have my Halo Reach Legendary Edition reserved and ready for pick up at 12:01 am.  I ordered it through Game Stop who has said they will include a code for an amour permutation that is exclusive to Game Stop.

I am also going to take the time to play the original Halo game, as there may be some additional “flair” that is offered to people who play the original Halo game (on the PC, not XBOX).
