FOOD FOR THOUGHT TODAY

Stop talking about people. Talking trash only makes you look bad. It doesn't show God to other's and it doesn't look good on you. When you talk trash about someone else, especially if you're nice to them to their face, then you are only showing what you're really made of. Remember, they may be really like you and they might be saying really great things about you. Basically, stop rolling your eyes & stop trash talking - it's ugly all the way around.

Give Me Your Thoughts:

What is talking trash so easy?? Why is it not right, especially if you're a Christian??

Ok Ok Ok

Here you guys go. Just one more thing for you to read and one more thing to distract you from listening to your teachers & doing your homework. I'm not going to be held reliable for this distraction, so this entry will not be long at all!! Here's the skinny on a few things:

Sunday Prime Time: Bring as many friends as you can on Sunday - it's really disappointing when we have less people in our class than the nursery....come on those kids can't even dress themselves!! (Plus this Sunday is the church's turkey dinner - you get a yummy free lunch!)

Wednesday Rocker: Let's try to pack out the youth room - we're just about there, but if we can hit 30 youth we will move into the sanctuary - SCORE!!!

Christmas Play: Memorize what I gave you & if you didn't get a script yet be ready you'll get yours Sunday - so BE THERE!!

Leadership Team: Remember what we talked about after the service last night - start showing up - excuses are like butts - everyone has them and they all stink, so stop giving me excuses and just man up and be in church.

EVERYONE: Thank you for coming last night and think about what we talked about - TRUST.

Leave me a comment on this topic:

Why is trust important and how can you regain trust with other people?

OK - get back to listening to your teacher and remember that you are possibly the only bright spot in someones life, so keep shinning!! C-ya Sunday!!

5th Quarter

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!

Thank you to all of the Carey Youth that showed up at our 5th Quarter!!! We had a HUGE turn out and it was because you guys weren't afraid to invite your friends out to Carey!! We really hope you guys enjoyed it.

JR. HIGH - we are looking at putting something together just for you....kinda like a 5th quarter type!! What do ya think?? Weigh in on this and give me some feed back on what you think!!

LADIES - your mentor ship "Life Application Study" will be starting next Monday. Make plans to come to my casa at 6:00 PM...you can show up a little early...there won't be food so eat before or after but know that we will be through about 7 if not about 7:15. If you can get to my house I can get you home!!

Great job to Jocelynn on our t-shirt designs!!
