I heard something today that I thought was really neat so I thought I would share.
It’s not how you start life,
but what you do with it,
and most important, how you finish it.
When I read that last part, how you finish it, I am not thinking of living to be 100 years old. I’m thinking of what I am doing now and in the future. I might live to reach the ripe old age of 100, but I’m not going to hold my breath on that. Heck, I don’t know if I want to live that long, but I do know that when the time comes…….I AM/WILL BE READY. Every second, minute, hour, day, week, month, and year that goes by gets me closer to that “finish.” Why am I ready, because a man gave his life for me, and you. He died so our sins could be forgiven. I am a believer and follower of Christ. That’s how I know.
God Bless Your Day
Today I mailed off the check to pay for my plane ticket to Africa!!!! I am so excited!!! Thank you all for your prayers. Keep’em coming.
We were at Hot Hearts this past weekend and it was so awesome. We had junior and senior high students go. It was at Highland Lakes Camp. There were about 500 students from all around that attended Hot Hearts. 33 Miles Christian band was there and they ROCKED the house!!! It was an awesome experience for me because I got to know a couple of the junior high kids a little bit better. I made some connections with them that I hadn’t been able to make before. All I can say about that is God really blessed me this past weekend. Melanie was there as well and she had a great time. It was awesome to get to experience something like that with my wife. It got a little crazy at night though. The room we were in had around 30 bunk beds and they all had someone sleeping in them. I had to get out my trusty iPhone and my noise canceling headphones and I was set. I didn’t hear a thing. Which was good because I know the boys had a blast yelling back and forth….and I didn’t have to hear it. NOTE: those of you looking at sponsoring at a youth camp, look at getting these headphone - Etymotic Research, Inc. - you will not be disappointed. The highlight of the trip, we had 6 students in our group that accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
I would like to ask you to please pray for our youth. Pray that the ones who have accepted Christ, walk with Him, and the ones that are still searching, find Him.
I was at Men’s Connection Group last night and Bram said something that I thought was really cool so I am going to share it.
“It is not you who make things happen, it is the Christ in you that does.”
Take some time out to really think about that. It is AWESOME!!!
Youth got a little crazy tonight. If it isn’t Ketchup and M&Ms, it is chocolate and sour gummi worms. We played a game called Mother Bird and, well….it was crazy!!!! Check out the photos.
Our youth are really awesome young people and I pray that they realize that and trust in God.
