Be angry but do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, and don’t give the Devil an opportunity.
Ephesians 4:26-27

Easter Sunday

Not a typical Easter Sunday. I was looking forward to going to church and sitting back without much responibility. But Nick was jumped by three guys. They broke his jaw in 3 different places along with a broken nose and a hit to his left eye. He has lost one tooth and has to have surgery sometime early this week.

Nate, Molly, Renee, Ryan and Dana all came over to see Nick and support him. That is what family is all about. C's mom came over for lunch and then Carolyn and her mom went out to the cemetary.

Take Your Stand against the Devil

“[The Armor of God] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.” - Ephesians 6:10-11

Be fully armed!

I am to serve!

Hebrews 9:14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

"Jesus saved me to serve...NOT SIT"

Cats

Ryan sent this to Mrs. P. Thought it was funny (no, oh soooo true...).

Amazed

It is clear from the four gospels that wherever Jesus went, people
were amazed. Whether they were rich or poor, young or old, sick or well,
friends or enemies–people were amazed at Jesus.
• Matthew 7:28
• Matthew 15:31
• Matthew 21:20
• Matthew 22:22
• Mark 1:22
• Mark 1:27
• Mark 9:15
• Luke 2:47

There are many more references post them back to me.

Just like daily life, not everything goes as planned, but God is in control. Go here to check out what happened at the first show (scroll to bottom to hear Sanctus Real).

Teen Wins Cancer Research Award

Teen Wins Cancer Research Award
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young" (1 Tim 4:12). But winning a $100,000 Scholarship for advancing a cancer study - wow! "look at this" - maybe the grown-ups in our church could use a little reminder that teens can do great things. Go here for the article.... and maybe you need to tout/shout a "wow" story of a teen here.

Easter 2008

“then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” - Acts 4:10,12
