“I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished.”
by George Mueller



in light of this....what are you all doing this weekend??


Tim and i will be gone...so i won't be blogging till monday.... see ya than!

Try this...i got this from a blog i check out regularly.........

This is so funny--you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot. But you can't!

1. While sitting in a chair, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand...Your foot will change direction!!!I told you so...And there is nothing you can do about it.

See if you can guess what book this is from...


Good things as well as bad, you know, are caught by a kind of infection. If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life. You must get close to ...The thing that has them. They are not a prize which God could, if He chose, just hand out to everyone. They are a great fountain of energy and beauty spurting up at the very centre of reality. If you are close to it, the spray will wet you: if you are not, you will remain dry......

maybe there will be a prize for the right guess :)

i like this one :)

One question

if you could ask God one question, what would it be?

Inheritance money!!!

Have you guys ever thought what it would be like to get a large inheritance from a long lost rich uncle? One of the first things I would do is pay off all my bills and go on a nice vacation. Take my family to travel the world.

If this were to happen to you how much would be enough? What would be some of the first things that you would do with the money?

A Riddle...

What's brown, and bitter, and loved by all mankind?

[Hint: the answer is not a chocolate labrador.]

mwh

I was thinking I would give you some trivia :) Be as specific as you can with your answers
where did these quotes come from? (2 seperate books, several of you have read each of these)



1. "I saw a great storm coming toward me from the north, driving before it a huge cloud that flashed with lightning and shone with brilliant light. The fire inside it glowed like gleaming amber. From the center of the cloud came four living beings that looked human. Except that each had four faces....."



2. "...The hours of torment leading up to Samuel's death had new meaning now. David had known! He was in essence proving his faith in God by trusting the Word of the book. David had become Abraham, whose faith was tested by offering up his son, Isaac! Only in this case, the son really had been killed......."

Little Survey

I want to do a little survey with you all.....

1. What scares you, or what is the most scared you have ever been ??

2. What are your skills and how can you use them for God ??

one more ;)

more memories....

Memories ......

Here's something I found very interesting the last few days....

"This third person is called , in technical language, the Holy Ghost or the 'spirit' of God. Do not be worried or surprised if you find it (or Him) rather vaguer or more shadowy in your mind than the other two. I think there is a reason why that must be so. In the Christian life you are not usually looking at Him. He is always acting through you. If you think of the Father as something 'out there', in front of you, and of the Son as someone standing at your side, helping you to pray, trying to turn you into another son, then you have to think of the third Person as something inside you, or behind you. Perhaps some people might find it easier to begin with the third person and work backwards. God is love, and that love works through men--especially through the whole community of Christians. But the spirit of love is, from all eternity, a love going on between the Father and the Son. "

From CS Lewis Mere Christianity

I was also wanting to post some lighter things, but right now...nothing comes to mind...so maybe i will get some help from our youth group :) hint-hint

Hey teens,
How about letting us know what kind of things you would like to see on the our youth group blog? Leave comments with your ideas.

Well we talked about it last night....but...I think we just went live. Isn't it a little scary how easy this is??
