Here is a photo of a lake that I took on one of our cell group's hiking trips. Because it was lacking some "punch," I did some heavy editing.

Every morning is a fresh start, a time to begin again, no matter how hard you fell the day before. A new day is a blessing from God.

Moses' Leadership

Yesterday, I was reading about Moses when he was up on Mount Sinai talking with God. When God saw the sin of the Israelites, He was greatly displeased. Moses, however, intervened, and pleaded with God to remember His convenant with His people. Moses later asked that he be punished for his own people's sin. He was willing to be blotted out of God's book of life rather than have his people killed.
That says something about being a leader. Being a leader is not just thinking about yourself. It's thinking about others and serving them. As small group director for this year's VBS, I must lead by serving and by example.

Jim Elliot

Jim Elliot's life is really amazing. Been reading about in In the Shadow of the Almighty. He is totally dedicated to obeying God and following His calling. I think I need do that with my own life. I need to obey God's calling in everything, from my life as a whole, to activities, relationships, standards, etc. Jim Elliot did that. I think that, with God's grace, I can do that too.

First (Official) Blog

Well, this is my first (official) post on this blog. It's pretty cool. All kinds of neat stuff. This is way cooler than xanga in that it doesn't have that annoying ad on top. It's kind of hard to navigate, though.
