Just a quick note to let you that you have spoken with someone today who may not be a Christian. Did you share Jesus with them? You didn't? What happens if we don't think about it? What happens if we think we can't share Jesus? No matter where we are or what we're doing, someone is watching us. Kind of like the "Big Brother" TV show. But the One who is watching wants us to share His story. Think about as you go about your daily lives. Share Jesus every chance you get!! I guarantee you will receive a blessing!!

We are in the month where we celebrate our love for the special people in our lives. Have gotten that special present or card yet? Have you found the perfect one that expresses what you want to say ans can't? Are you looking forward to seeing that special someone's eyes as the open the present and read the card? God has given us a present (Jesus) and a love letter (scripture) that He is anxious for us to open and read. He is also anxious for us to receive Jesus, if we haven't, and to share Him with the people around us. As we celebrate our love for the people around us this month remember we should celebrate God's love for us every day and share the love He has for us with the folks we come into with every day!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!! The greatest Valentine ever was born in a manger in Bethlehem!!!!

As we begin a new year, ask God to remind you to hear and listen to Him this year. God has a lot He wants us do but we have to be willing to follow His instructions. I know most of us probably have made New Year resolutions and sometimes we are able to keep them. But often times they are forgotten by the end of January or even worse, by the end of the first week of January. Let's commit to keeping ours this year. Let me suggest two resolutions for you: 1. Spend some time with God each day. Either praying or reading your Bible, or both. 2. Look around each day. God is always at work. Look for it and then go join Him. I am sure you get a tremendous blessing. I have three resolutions for this year. First, to do what I mentioned early. Second, no french fries during the year. So far this is working okay!!! And third, to be a better blogger. I have to work hard at this and I AM going to be better!!!!
Until tomorrow, LOOK FOR GOD WORKING AROUND YOU!!!!

Just a reminder from our last session, make sure you get away from distractions and focus on THE MAIN THING!!! Things are very stressful this time of year so make extra effort to spend time with the one who created Christmas for us!!

This time of year is really crazy!!! But we need to focus on THE MAIN THING. At this time of year we need to be very careful that we stay focused on the 'reason for the season'. I believe that when we do this it will give us a better understanding and a more grateful heart for what God has done for us. I am reminded of something someone once said. I can't remember who said it first but this statement has been used for years. Here it is:

THE MAIN THING IS TO KEEP

THE MAIN THING

THE MAIN THING!!!

THE MAIN THING this time of year is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!!! Keep HIM THE MAIN THING this Christmas season.

Hey Gang!!! I am going to do a better job of blogging, I promise! I am looking forward to what God is going to teach us through our Thanksgiving sessions. We all have a lot to be thankful for, but why do we need to be thankful? That will be our focus for the next two weeks. I want to encourage you to invite some friends to join us as we learn together Why we need to be thankful. I cannot wait to see how God is going to bless us as we focus on our blessings!!!

You guys are the best youth group in the world and don't ever forget that!!

WOW!!!! The reports from See You At The Pole were incredible!!!! I am excited that so many students are willing to stand up and be heard on our campuses. I believe, as I have told you before many times, YOUR generation is the generation that will bring the next great revival to this country and it is going to start with each one of you making a difference in your school. I am very proud of each of you as you daily take a stand for Jesus among your peers!!!
