I love creative stuff...And this is crazy creative!

I believe God is the creator of everything and I think he has done a pretty good job. I also believe that because you and I were made in his image, we are also creative! Where are you being creative in your life? With your family, on your dates, for your homework, at the place you worship.....? Experience all God has for you now and be creative!

Escape 09

Don't miss this opportunity to get away for the weekend. We will be heading to the lake of the Ozarks from Nov. 6th - 8th and the cost is only $55 if you sign up by October 28th. This covers everything! We will be staying at Lake View Resort. Click on the picture below for the form to fill out and turn in. You must also have a medical release form on file.

I love creativity!

Saw this on a blog I read everyday and realized that The Black Eyed Peas are super creative, but I think God is the ultimate creative one. And if we have been created in his image shouldn't we be creative also? Where in your life are you being creative?

Kanye, Taylor and Beyonce

I am not sure if you watched the MTV VMA's last night, but if you missed it you missed a little bit of craziness. Go here to see the video's and then post your thoughts on here. My questions for you are:

1. Do you tear down or do you build up?
2. Do you rejoice when others rejoice?

I used to love Kanye, but he will no longer get air time in my ear buds!

Annoucements

The high school students are currently looking at "Why are there so many Gods?" on Sunday mornings. Breakfast begins at 9 for only $1 and the discussion starts at 9:30. The Junior High students also have a discussion group during this time.

My amazing wife

Every once in a while my great wife plans a themed family night...last friday we did a "Beach" night. We often miss living in Pismo Beach, CA and so we thought we would bring the beach to us! She is super creative and puts a lot of effort into these nights. Go to her blog and check out more pictures and some more details.

What do you do to develop and deepen your relationships? Is there a relationship that needs some work? Jesus gave us instruction on how to live and one of the most important things he said to do was to love one another. I believe part of loving people is to spend time with them. Who do you need to schedule some time with?

A Few Pictures....

Here is the group that went to "Embrace" NYC...18 high school students, 5 college students and 6 adults! Unbelievable group that accomplished unbelievable things.

Another great picture from our free night in Time Square.
