on time!

Hi guys, lets bring you up to speed a bit. This week was pretty good, the goodness really started Wednesday at church. We had some awesome worship and mixing the sound was fantastic! Its really fun having freedom in the sound booth to make it great. Thursday was really good also meeting with Dan and we have started going through revelation. Its very interesting stuff talking about the seven churches in Asia. chapter 1 is John sending letters to these churches from a small island off present day Turkey. He says that these seven churches are like lampstands, and these lampstands should spread their light into the darkness. Its some great stuff and I'm very excited to continue.

Friday was a trip to Muskogee to hang out with some friends i have not seen in awhile. We had a great time and im bummed that they all went back to school. Saturday was good until OU choked at home and lost by a Field goal. 

Today was pretty good, church was great. We talked about 1 Timothy 2:1-15. Some great stuff to talk about with 7th graders! Ha sometimes i wonder if Josh is crazy. but there was some good discussionand everyone participated.

looking forward to this week. see you next time

frontier city

so the past week has been busy, i have been training at a new job, working on paper and helping at church. one guy i met at believers has an awesome story. Bryt is a 20ish year old volunteer at believers in their youth ministry and to be honest he is kinda scary. he is covered in tattoos and piercings. and he is the kinda guy that alot of conservative Christians would avoid. Bryt has told me about his bad experience with church in the past and it amazes me that he is so active still. the guy has been seriously burned by the church. but he still loves god and all the students he works with.
 another big part of the week was yesterday. the junior high group went to frontier city. it went better than expected, we had a few kids that need leashes because they were so excited they wanted to run off! i was a leader and it was alot of fun, i had a great group to hang out with and we all very easily agreed about most everything. so frontier city was great. looking forward to another great week!
