it's been a hectic week and my bloggin' has suffered a bit... sorry.

here's the : WORD of the WEEK --

TRANSMOGRIFY


transmogrify \trans-MOG-ruh-fy\, transitive verb:
To change into a different shape or to transform, often with
bizarre or humorous effect.

word used in a sentence:

For the impulsive sin of turning to look back at the
firery destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot's wife is
transmogrified into a pillar of salt as she flees the
inferno.

hmmm, man, I should be a pillar of salt - I've looked back many times. the lesson: ah, friend, when God frees you and delivers you; move forward & refuse to look back or long for the things of your sinful past. AREN'T YOU TIRED OF WATCHING RE-RUNS?! There's a new season premiering on your "life" channel today - don't miss it - it's awesome!

DV8 UPDATE:

what an incredible weekend we enjoyed! man, it was awesome!!

just Thursday through Saturday, 54 teens accepted Christ into their hearts at high schools, middle schools, shopping malls, football games, concert and the oUtbReAk! YES! then, on Sunday night @ DV8 Live we had 260 teens with 19 visitors and 25 MORE commitments to Christ (that's 79 in 4 days)!! God is moving so powerfully! not only are we reaching teens EVERYDAY but our discipleship efforts on Wednesday & Sunday mornings have never been better attended. we are seeing God build community among us and we're stronger than ever. now, i know that His word states: "First pride, then the crash - the bigger the ego, the harder the fall" (Proverbs 16:18, the message); so let me be clear that this is a GOD THANG! it's His work and we give Him ALL the glory!!

i'm just humbled and honored to be able to hang out with the greatest generation to ever be born. you teens know who you are and KNOW THAT i LOVE YOU and i'm PROUD OF YOU! and just think, how much MORE God loves you! HE'S SMILING!!

keep praying EVERYDAY - that's talking AND listening!! bury your nose in His word and live your life LOUD amongst your campus, family & beyond! HE'S IN YOU! now, be "Jesus with Skin on"

I BELIEVE!

oh... here's a TOZER TODAY:

"The Christian is a Holy rebel loose in the world with access to the throne of God. Satan never knows from where the danger will come."

YOU AND GOD

People are often unreasonable,
irrational, and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.


If you are kind, people may accuse
you of selfish, ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.


If you are successful, you will win some
unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies;

Succeed anyway.


If you are honest and sincere
people may deceive you;

Be honest and sincere anyway.


What you spend years creating
others could destroy overnight;

Create anyway.


If you find serenity and happiness,
some may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.


The good you do today,
will often be forgotten.

Do good anyway.


Give the best you have,
and it may never be enough;

Give your best anyway.


In the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.



-Mother Teresa
