Be Free

Tonight was youth group. We talked about Galatians 4 and what it means to be free to live out your faith in the way God has called you to do. Whether or not your faith ends up looking like the faith of the contemporary church or not. Christ does some crazy non-conventional stuff with people who are willing to step outside the doors of their churches to do ministry.




In my opinion it was a great evening. Though I am biased: I'm the one who leads it. I thought Martin (the guy on guitar) did an excellent job leading praise and worship. I've really been getting a kick out of seeing God reveal gifts in people in the last few months. It's hard because, believe it or not, some people don't want to allow themselves to do the thing they are really good at. Kind of like: if I'm having fun it can't be godly. Nevertheless, this group of young people is kicking some serious booty and takin' names for Christ in big ways. I'll post some pics of us helping out with the children's play mobil some other time.



I wish I had taken some before and after pics of our apartment, because the last two days have brought about a serious makeover inside our 4-walls. We've been moving stuff around and building new shelves for the "little sire". Yep, he's gonna have it good. Just hope he can stop kicking mommy long enough to let her breathe regularly. I need her behind the oven. ;-)



Kristine is doing really well with the pregnancy. She's been helping me with the youth group alot as well. Tonight she wasn't able to come. Tomorrow is Easter Friday and we've got family coming over. She did an all out cleaning operation with her mother this evening at our place. They were getting our apartment ready for the people to come over tomorrow. It's really not that many. Grandparents, parents, 2-brothers, Kristine and myself. Don't worry though. That's enough for our apartment.



I'll post ya'll some pictures tomorrow night of the festivities. We have a church service tomorrow morning from 10am to about 12pm. I'm not up on the whole, "lets squeeze in a church service on every big holiday of the year" thing. Why not relax and just eat together and have a good time. Why always the extra church service? (Easter, Christmas, New Years...)

Goodnight! My wife just called and she's wondering why I am. It's already 12:37am here.
