Sorry about yesterday's blog. What I wanted to say was God has great plans for you and us as a Youth group. Stay focused on what's important and God will take care of the rest. I am very proud of each of you and I know God is going to do extrordinary through you. Our service Wednesday evening was amazing!!!! Isn't it amazing how God can take our plans and make them bigger and better? You guys are great and I love each of you!!!

Hey what do you think about the new colors? One of my students is really great at designing stuff like this. I think it looks great and understand that this is still a work in progress so it will continue to get better. Thanks "Bear" for doing this!!!

I know some of you have seen the movie, "The Passion of the Christ" and some of the scenes are very difficult to watch but have you ever thought of what Christ did for you on the cross? If He had not died on the cross, where would be right now? Probably wandering around aimlessly and getting into a lot of trouble that we could not get out of. Jesus loves us so much that He died so we would be able to have a second chance at doing things. In my life, and the lives of our Leadership Team, we have done things that we are not proud of. But, because of the grace of Jesus, we can wake up each day and begin a new journey with Jesus. In one of the scenes in "The Passion", you feel like you can actually sense the compassion the actor is trying to convey. I believe if we could have seen Jesus, we would realize how much He loves us. Think about this as we celebrate our risen Lord on Sunday.
