This was one of my favorite nights! We had a lot of new “Goth” teens come to youth for the first time & 4 teens accepted Christ! I love our youth group! I love our leaders. I love our teens. I love that no one is judged by the clothes they wear and that everyone [...]
Single Moms…
I love single moms. I was raised by a single mom and I was a single mom myself for 5 years. I understand the loneliness, the feeling of inadequacy and the guilt. I believe being a single mom is the toughest job on the planet.
So today I want to encourage single moms.
God specifically [...]
Live fully alive!!!
Check out my favorite song on Skillet’s new cd…
“Awake And Alive”
[V1]
I’m at war with the world and they
Try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I’m slippin’ from your arms
It’s getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last
[Chorus]
I’m awake I’m [...]

Shreddin The Gnar
Huh??? I know that’s exactly what I thought the first time I heard “shreddin the gnar”. I found out it’s actually a surfer term that means “We’re going to charge it. We’re going to do whatever it takes. We’re going to go BIG. No holding back. We’re going all out!!!”
So what does this mean to ROCK [...]

Want to change the world in a few months???
“If we dared to live beyond our self-concern, if we refused to shrink from being vulnerable, if we took nothing but a compassionate attitude toward the world, if we were a counterculture to our nation’s lunatic lust for pride of place, power and possessions, if we preferred to be faithful rather than successful, the walls [...]
What I want…
I want to be able to laugh at myself
I want to treat people better than they expect
I want to live like I believe God can do anything
I want to love people I don’t like
I want to let others succeed without being jealous
I want to be secure with who God made me
I want my actions to match [...]

Random thoughts & things I learned in 2008
1. A lot of teens make a decision to live their life for Christ on their own and not during an altar call. I love going on myspace or facebook and finding out that they have made a decision to live for Christ.
2. People are not my enemy, I only have one enemy.
3. If I could do [...]
