Things Don't Always End up the Way They Start!

Have you ever played the "Telephone" game? It is the one where you whisper something to the first one in a circle and they whisper it to the next and so on and so on until it gets back to the original person. The chances of the "secret" being the same at the end of the game as it was in the beginning is very doubtful!

We played the paper telephone game tonight complete with descriptions and drawings and sure enough NONE ended up the way they started. Go figure. It was an illustration of how our concept of God starts out one way, and the world around us begins to twist it and redirect it until it becomes something totally different.

The bottom line is, God IS good. And God is love. When the world around us tells us something different, we must remember the truth. Not the deception.

Next week is Spring Break! Have a great one if you are traveling.....keep in touch to reschedule the volleyball games!


Thanks to Lacy and Samantha for their wisdom, guidance and their willingness to enter in these kids lives! And thanks to Karly and Timmy (pictured above) for being such good sports for all the Match Making going on.......right Beccca?!?!?!?

THIS TUESDAY AT HOBGOOD!

Remember those volleyball games on the beach at camp? Well......dejavu all over again! Weather permitting we will go to Hobgood Park for Ground Zero this Tuesday at 7:00p.m. for some volleyball practice, some food and some fun! Bring a friend with you.....and a volleyball if you have one.

If it is going to rain, we will have Ground Zero at the Sims house as we normally do.

COME AND JOIN US!

WHAT DOES YOUR GOD LOOK LIKE????

That was the topic of discussion tonight at Ground Zero! We are trying to get through our surface opinions on what we and the world think of when we think of God, and get a little deeper at what we truly think about this God of ours? Is He good? Is He forgiving or always ready to serve justice? Is He kind or is He handing out consequences for all our bad decisions? Where do we get these opinions and ideas? Which ones are really true?????

This was just night one of our view of God. It was a great start and an important one. It seems that the way we see God has a direct correlation to the way we see ourselves. And others.

When you think of God...what image to you see?????
