Not posting many thoughts, but here’s what I’ve got.

  • Lesson to the Beyond Youth: You are valuable.  You are valuable to your family, to your friends, to your church, & especially to God.  So valuable that things aren’t the same when you’re not around.  Also, you have a place in this world just like each puzzle piece has a specific place in a puzzle.  Read Romans 12:4-6.
  • Awesome to see all of the help with Kids Zone yesterday.  Thanks specifically to Lisa, Robbie, Tasi, and Ashley.
  • Note to leaders: When at your church’s service, it’s not about who’s missing.  Focus on the people who are there.  Make them feel important.  They are the most important people to lead at that time.  Read this post by Tim Schmoyer that explains this.  It focus is on youth, but it’s just as important to kids and adults.
  • Present your everyday life an offering to God.  Read Romans 12:1.
  • Excited to be starting a group project with the Beyond Youth.  We’re putting together a puzzle.  Yeah!  It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s called spending quality time with each other.
  • CALLING ALL PARENTS! Look out for some better communication coming your way.
  • I like the Royal Caribbean motto: Why not?
  • Got a great fundraiser coming starting next week.  We’re going to be taking orders for t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, and hoodies.  Stay tuned for more information.  (By-the-way, all of the money will be going for the Beyond Youth trip to Accelerant 2011.)

Enjoy!
