Looking Forward

November 6, 2006

Hey gang!

I’m totally looking forward to the next few weeks! This week Lydia and I will be leading again since Andrea and Annika can’t do their prayer study till next week. I was thinking of looking at the tongue. Now stick out your tongue and stare dowdwards…I said look downwards…you’re not looking!

Hehe, I’m in a silly mood. Okay, so seriously I’ve been finding a lot of verses lately that basically say: the tongue is a restless evil and no man can tame it. Lydia, does this sound good to you? This is the verse I’m thinking of using:

James 3:6-12The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and itself set on fire by hell.All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives or a grapevine bear figs? (Matt 7:18&19 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them (prophets))? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Also, I’m hoping that we can start organizing times that we can meet up throughout the week to go out sharing. I think sharing with other bamboozlers will help us get to know more about each other. Remind me about it on friday.

I’m so glad most of you came out to Impact on friday! That was fun! I hope that you can all start coming out to the party afterwards too. This week I’ll be taking some pics of people for Winter Con advertizing. It’s gonna be a hoot. If you girls want I can let you be in charge of some of the advertising.

 And before I go to class I just wanted to clarify with you all: if you ever need to talk to me you are VERY welcome to call my cell. I have it on all night next to my pillow in case you need to talk. And if I don’t answer at any time just leave me a fun message and I’ll try my best to get back to you as soon as I hear it.

 That’s all for now!
