Evelin has invited me to read with her and her youth group these scriptures. More than that in talking with her... our hope and expectation is that doing this together will provide a context for God to use the scriptures to speak directly into our lives.
Ink on a page... Can Ink on a page make a difference in the content and quality of our lives??? Influence depends on a lot of things... The Bible keeps surprising me in it's depth and power.
Some aliens came to visit planet earth... they noticed that human often bought this large bundle of paper daily that they call the newspaper. When analyzed for it's chemiccle compounds all they found in it was paper and ink. To this day they do not know what the significance of the news is...
The frame of reference you bring to any task will shape what you see in it...
I hope some of you read with us and in it find some real "good news"...

To all the skaters and friends that are reading with me:
I know that a lot of you have been wanted to be challenged just in seeking the Lord and learning more of His word… and as well, as getting to know Him more. This year I want to be able and take this challenge with you and learning how to discipline ourselves in reading the word, and spending time with God. I know it is not an easy thing to pick up a book and read, specially sometimes our bibles are hard to read. But know that just as you and I are reading… others read with us and we will hold you accountable of this… just as you guys can keep me accountable of this. As you read weekly, think about verses, things in life, or things that God is doing in your life and come back to share, what stood out to you, or what God taught you from these readings… enjoy His word, and if you want to read together to be encouraged, let me know… email me or myspace me… lol… enjoy!!! As you read make sure to initial or put a check mark and maybe next to the chapter, write a word or a phrase or the verse that stood out to you. If you have any questions call me, my phone will be on the parent letter.
