Hey guys! Last night we ended up going TUBING...and it wasn't blistering cold like last time, thank goodness. We had alot of fun. At one point a few of us walked up the hill instead of using the chairlift, which was totally a brutal walk, and of course when we got up to the top, out of breath, we were told we aren't allowed to do that. Hah. Go us. Going down the hill was soo much fun because, depending on the position you're in, you end up spinning alot and it's so cold and crazy! We all just wish Kevin wouldn't shake the chairlift so much...
ALL RIGHT. The Bible study from last night was found in 1 Kings 22:1-38 (or so). The king, Jehoshaphat, was to go into battle with king Aram, and would only listen to the prophets that told him what he wanted to hear; the ones that told him he would win. When Micaiah the prophet came to Jehoshaphat, he prophesized that Jehoshaphat would fail, but Jehosaphat refursed to listen, and had Micaiah put in jail. In this story, God sends an angel to make the "feel-good" prophets continue their chorus. I, personally don't understand why God would send these people to tell Jehoshaphat lies. Kevin tried to explain, I sort of understand now, but not completely. Leave a comment with your opinion!!!

DIANNA...no wait! That was just called!

GIRLS RULE, BOYS DROOL! Haha no just kidding, but us girls DID totally beat the boys at four on a couch! :D By the end, almost nobody remembered each other's names, so it was basically a game of luck/chance! Hahaha we also played Moffia, and the Moffia ended up outnumbering/killing the townspeople.
Kevin's bible study was about when Jesus was telling the people parables about the seeds that grow on the path, rocky soil, thorny soil, and the good soil. This story is found in Matthew 13:4-18.
Kevin wanted us to watch this being told by Jesus in a video he had, so we got to go down to THE BASEMENT to watch it. I haven't been down there since I was seven!!

Reminder: Junior youth group starts Feb.3!

Our first youth group of 2007! And we haven't had youth group for over a month so Juanita and I are saying "FINALLY!!!"
Last night we decided to have our 'Belated Christmas Dinner' (I think) at Timbers restaurant. Yummy...the Chinese buffet was pretty good, if I say so my self! We all had a good time figuring out our fortunes in fortune cookies and using chopsticks...or ATTEMPTING to use them for some *cough*Neil*cough*. When we got back to Kevin's house, we tried to create a 'romantic mood' to sing and sit around in. Hahah.
The bible study last night was titled, "What is God's Will For Our Youth Group?". We had three questions to answer which were, What is our agenda? What do we default to if it fails? and I cannot remember the other question? For illustration, Kevin used the story of Jesus feeding 5000 men, found in Matthew 14:13-21. Jesus had wanted to find a place of solitude, but the crowds followed him wherever he went, so he has to change his agenda for them, took compassion on them, and healed and fed them.
