I want to make it known that I am openly declaring war on all goats for the next several weeks. Now, I am normally a quite, reserved, and non-violent guy, but goats must be destroyed. Why you ask? Because I am sick and tired of goat-kind ruining the the championship chances of my beloved Chicago Cubs every single year. So goats of the world, if you ruin the Cubbies this year (especially if you were diabolical enough to have the Brewers somehow end our run in the NLCS in blackcat/Durham/Bartman/Gonzalez/Prior fashion, an event which would probably force me to move to Canada or something) there will be no hope for you goats. You will be vanquished forever! Consider yourselves put on notice goats!
Ok, with that out of the way, I hope everyone was able to have a good weekend. I know there were many sad football fans in our state as the Badgers followed one of the best halves of their lives with a totally anemic display in the second to lose to dreaded Michigan, and the Pack was less then wonderful while Favre looked unstoppable. The Crew did somehow manage to snag one from the AAA Iowa Cubs and make the playoffs for the first time in my lifetime (note: the "lovable losers" have made it now 6 times in my life time). But hey, no one determines a good weekend based on sports right?
In the realm of youth ministry we got to enjoy the pain of Zach eating six of the nastiest hot wings on the planet, which were so hot he went though 3-4 ice packs trying to get feeling back in his lips. Note: the eating of insanely hot products and church will be suspended as I don't want any lips falling off, plus Matt found this article that makes me worry a little: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/3099484/Chef-dies-after-eating-superhot-chilli-for-bet.html. Last night we continued our Church as it Should Be series by talking about how Church needs to be concerned about the lost (the unsaved). We looked at Acts 7-8 which showed that despite knowing they would be killed if they told others about Jesus the early Christians did it anyway, spreading the gospel throughout the world. They wouldn't have had to do that (they already knew they had eternal life and the authorities would not have persecuted them if they wouldn't have vocally told others), but CHOSE to risk it all and tells others because they wanted all people to have eternal life. What an awesome love for others and what a wild ride they went on to spread the good news. It is my hope we can have that same love for the lost here at HRC.
Well, everyone enjoy your week, especially the MLB playoffs, and go Cubbies (and stay away goats!)!

Ok we get it andy you hate goats. I didnt quite understand what you ment by goats but i bet it is brewer fans mostly because they are not cubs. Although i would laugh if you went as far as moving to canada. Although if your referring to that thing with me that happened about Freshmen year it was not my fault.
