guess what? WE ARE MADE TO CHEER! WHOO!

did you see the england match yesterday? did you see the big t.v's in Leeds, Manchester, Hull, and London? did you see all the people cheer when Beckham's free kick deflected a paraguay player and went in?

i did. the reaction was amazing. this is the type of cheering we should give to our God. He deserves it more than Beckham. God might not score the winning goal in the world cup final, but he did make us and making us is more important than winning the world cup (believe it or not!).

And yes...even i think being made by the mighty creator is more impotant than winning the world cup.......really i do.....................

so the main point today is.....cheer for God.....He's the winner not Beckham or Gerrard (though i think they are good footballers i haven't seen God play football yet!)

We cheer at things we like so God must get all the praise! just remember to cheer for God think of it like he did score the winning goal in the final! don't stop praising him, he's worth it all.

WHOOO! GO GOD, GO GOD! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOO!

i know i've blogged today but i had to blog about this...

today we've had some friends do our meetings. they go to our corps and they will be in next years session at the training college for the Salvation Army. tonights sermon made me think alot about things and about meself as a person. instead of my friends speaking they showed us a video of about 15 minutes long with an awful lot to think about.

i can't remember what the theme was but the sermon was about God having faith in us and us having faith in God and ourselves to be able to be like Him.

this was based on the time when Jesus was calling His disciples and he asked them to follow Him. now the video said (and its very true) that its hard to understand this if you don't know the background of the time. once it was explained i began to see it slighty clearer.

he said, in those times children at the age of 6 went to school to read and learn off by heart the Torah (the first 5 books of the Bible, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuternoomy). by the time they were 10 years old they new all these books off by heart. (thats saying something as i had to look up the names of the books).

at the age of 10, most children went off to learn their familiy trade or business. few of the 10 year olds went on to learn the rest of the old testament (34 books more than the torah). they did this until they were 15 years of age, and again only the best of these went to different Rabbi's to see if they could become a disciple. the Rabbi's would then ask many questions and if he thought they were good enough they would leave their families and friends to follow the Rabbi. personally i dont think id be able to do anything like that.

now when Jesus called Peter and His other disciples from the boat, it is now clear that Peter was not one of the best. he was carrying on his families trade, which means (not to be rude or anything) but he left school a while ago because he didn't do as well as the others.

This indicates to us that Jesus believes in us all, whether we're the best or not.

its quite a powerful thing. Jesus believes in me. I believe in Jesus. Jesus believes in me.

just something to think about.

nothing nothing nothing....bored

hiya people! have been away his past week on holiday to see family. didn't realy like the travelling bit but the footy and shopping bits were fine! well i'm sitting here at the computer doing nothing (well almost nothing, i am writing in my blog) with only our golden ager kevin on the other side of the room. Golden ager Lynsey, and my inmates, squelch and schlurple the purple have left me to do nothing. Kevin has nothing planned and i'm as bored as a koala bear in a tree eating leaves all day. zzzzzzzzzzzz. why do they do it? i'll get them back, i would rather do youth alpha than do nothing at all. love youth alpha, we have a laugh i get to spend time with my lovely friends and at the end of it all (sometimes...if i can remember it) theres usually something i take home with me to ponder over (don't ask where ponder came from because i don't know!). today...nothing. anyways i'll stop rambling and go play on the drums...write later!
