Hot stove...

Just some Friday morning musings...

Just a thought, but are the Brewers going to field a team this year of just send them all to REAL teams? Sabathia does look pretty good in pinstripes... Sadly, the Cubbies have not done nearly enough so far, with the Peavy deal breakdown being quite sad.

Picasa (my photo program) has been dumb lately, but it finally got our MS party pictures up. You can find them to the right.

This Sunday we've got a couple of special things planned. All high schoolers will be attending a special program entitled The Star of Bethlehem in lieu of normal Sunday school. This is based on a DVD that shows one man's obsession to prove that the star occurred as the Bible says it did, and his research unearthed so much evidence that even NASA's head of planetary discovery sees some real merit in it. Then Sunday night our HS group welcomes Rep. Dan LeMahieu as our speaker. Dan will talk about how he serves in the legislature as a Christian, and address some of the issues (i.e. homosexuality, disability, abortion, and prejudice) we have been talking about lately. Please respect Rep. LeMahieu and arrive at 5:25 so we may begin at 5:30.

Wednesday night was another enjoyable Middle School evening. We played some games that had everyone roaring, and by plan to embarrass Cody and Jordan backfired horrifically (instead of drawing one of the 12 slips that would have made them do something embarrassing, they pulled the one that earned them a free soda, and those two NEVER need soda). We also had some good conversations on the importance of studying scripture. We laugh at the notion of an auto mechanic who has never even seen a car, yet I think too many of us are a Christian in the same way. It says Christian on our name tag, but have we really seen God through the Bible, learned what he tells us there, and started living our life according to it? If we are going to follow God then we need to read the manual, which is really way more then that. It's an amazing love note to us, telling us how important we are and what God wants to do in our life to make it simply amazing for us and others today, tomorrow, and for eternity.
