Hurray!












It is nice that the hospital finally returned our Madorra back. ( I think they kept some of her though )

Riddle... Let's see the first one to solve it.

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated
knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote

"Revelation 3:20" on the back of it, and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10."

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock."
Read Genesis 3:10 to find out why he laughed.



My wager is on Juanita.

Don't forget to check out Andrews blog on our links


I saw this pic and thought of how it was neat that Andrew is all the way in Bolivia, yet he is still hooked up on the web.

The 3 G's
















I'll never forget the words a missionary spoke to a group of eager, young christian men, which I attended when I was the age of most of the youth group.

He said, "Beware of your appetite for the three G's! The appetite for these three G's are the # 1 things which have brought many leaders down in all of history, including today."

Of course we wanted to know what the three G's were.

He said, "The appetite for Gold, Glory, and Girls, are the most common appetites which have veared leader's and potential leader's focus of knowing and doing God's will.


I don't know what value this has on our youth group's blog site, seeing that the youth group is made up of mostly girls.

Can you come up with three appetites which girls can be aware of???

How about, the three M's... Money, Make up, Mates... (Deans)
three P's.... Popularity, Prosperity, Pigs or commonly know as boys (shannon)
three F's.... Fame, Fortune, Friends (shan for 2)


On a more serious note, it is interesting to see that Gold, Glory, and Girls are all good things which God has and does share with His people. Every good appetite and every good thing that God has created is a blessing. They become the very things which trip us up, if we do not worship and obey the Giver of these gifts. We must always keep these gifts in submission to God.

What do you think?
