January 27, 2009 Can you Keep From Saying "I"?























That was the game.......Everyone got a Blow Pop necklace and could keep it as long as they did not say the word "I' for thirty minutes. Everytime they used the word and someone heard it, they could take their necklace. Ian maintained his necklace just by not saying anything.....his girlfriend Rae, was the "I" police and won the contest by confiscating a total of 6 Blow Pop Necklaces. Congratulations Rae!

The picture at the top is Blake. Notice the t-shirt......the youth of today have found new and profound ways to make you see yourself in a better light........?

We are continuing to move into the book of Ephesians......a great place to languish! After we gave the "God challenge" to help with some keys.....we also challenged Him to reveal Himself more to these teens who are sometimes looking with their heads and not their hearts. It is admittingly a big challenge, but only if you are not God.

Also, we viewed the long lost Ground Zero personalized Big Stuf Camp video from 2006! Just recently located in an archaelogical dig, it was the first time ever viewed by it's stars. Cute and memorable for all!!!! Now......where is 2007 and 2008????????

Last, but not least......do not forget that the Chili Cook-off is this Sunday. Bring your best chili to enter into the contest (yes, there is a prize) and come hither all teens to help prepare and serve the rest of the meal. This is a fund raiser for camp, so the help of all teens is necessary...and yes, should we say......expected????? It is a fun job...but somebody's got to do it.

See you all Sunday.......until then be safe!!!!! And WATCH FOR GOD! And Ian...let us know when you find your keys!

January 20, 2009



We had a great night at Ground Zero. We didn't miss much to talk about......from everything to camp, chili, Michael Vick, a little about the inauguration (not too much politics though), school, work, the Asylum retreat, and then a brief portion of Ephesians chapter 1 describing how much God loves us and how He joyfully showers us with His gifts. You are important, worthy and valuable to Him! Don't think so? Ask Him!

See you next week. If you are interested in going to camp, fill out a registration form and drag in a few bucks for your deposit. I have to know who is hoping to go in order to have enough spaces for everyone!

Great to see you guys again!





















Thanks for a great night tonight at Ground Zero.....remember to bring your deposit for camp next week! and also get ready to join us for the Chili Cook-off on Feb. 1st. Yes...it does seem to be super bowl Sunday as well, but we will have time for both. It is going to be a great day!

Enjoy these additional pictures from our Christmas party! Be safe, and I will see you next week to work through some more of the book of Ephesians.
