COD + SSS = Wholeeness

So I went to lunch today. It was good. I had the ubiquitously famous South Street Smokehouse, or as I call it the SSS.  As me and a friend of mine sat there we talked about many things. We talked about how excellent the food is. We talked about the moist towelletes and how if they were just a touch bigger they would be adequate for the normal adult human hand. We also talked about my favorite video game. 

We decided that if there were some way to install Call of Duty(COD) into the booths at the SSS then we would have  everything that we would need in the world. So being the thoughtful person that I am I began to ponder this idea. I said we would have EVERYTHING we ever needed, except the church. We would only need to leave the SSS to go to church. 

I have solved this problem. We could start a church on Sundays and invite gamers and nerds of all kinds to join us. Our slogan could be, "Come join us in the House of Cod, where you can kill people and repent all before your food is delivered." 

Would you be interested in joining with me in this endeavor?

Simple Minds......

So some people that read my blog are not happy with the turn that it has taken (Heather). For those people (Heather) I am going to write a blog that maybe they(Heather) can be happy with. So here is a question for those of you(Heather) that would rather not talk about God.

When you were a kid, would you(Heather) rather play with Lego's or Lincoln Logs?

1:1

Over the past several weeks in youth group we have been studying Noah and the different things that he dealt with in the process of helping God start mankind over again.  In one of the lessons I shared that in life we have to be willing to do whatever God asks us to do. The hard thing about that, is that we have to know what it is that He wants us to do. We do this by praying and reading His word along with many other things. As I was explaining how I do my Bible reading, there seemed to be some interest in joining with me. Last night after youth  group I had some teens come and say that they wanted to read through the Bible with me. First of all I am glad they these young adults are willing to dig deeper into God's word. Second of all I am honored that they would ask me to hold them accountable for reading a chapter a night. 
I asked them where they wanted to start and they said, "Duh, Genesis." I said, "OK." So last night I read Genesis 1 for about the thousandth time. It never ceases to amaze me that God reveals something new to me every time I re-read scripture. 
I never noticed that after each "day" it says "and there was evening, and there was morning-the____ day. This got me thinking about creation. I know that we come from different backgrounds, different education levels and different levels of Biblical interest. I want to know what kind of creation you believe in.
