It’s unavoidable--every one of us goes through storms. Sometimes the storms are big and cause lots of damage. Sometimes they rumble through and then they are gone. So if a storm is going to happen--whether it’s a death, a diagnosis, a divorce, or a breakup--how do you weather the storm? What do you hold on to when the storm hits?



STORM WATCH is happening @ Velocity
7.22.09 & 7.29.09

Tonight is BOWLING! I'm not a very good bowler, but I'm hoping to improve my high score of 168. Don't forget to bring $3 for shoes and food money. I'm buying the lanes! We leave the MLK campus at 6pm sharp! See ya tonight.

Read this...it's pretty incredible.

"Fatal Distractions"

This week I'm going to be talking about the effects distractions can have on our walk with Christ. I know that in my life things have taken me off of the path towards eternal life. I let friends, popularity, and music have more value than Jesus. Once the storms came, I quickly realized who my Hero was to save me from the mess that was my life. That hero - Jesus - can do the same for you. He said that "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life". Only through Him can we experience the joys of eternal life. Following Jesus isn't something that takes place just on Wednesday nights or Sunday mornings. When you said yes to Jesus, you said yes to a lifestyle following Jesus' examples. The Bible tells us that Jesus gives life...so it looks to me like nothing else should matter. I want to live forever. Do you?

Summer

The boomtown trip has been postponed. I'm working on an alternative...stay tuned!

This is a schedule of fun things for the summer. The other schedule posted earlier is for sermon series and Thursdays.

Thursday Nights @ The Drive Student Center

While we were at Discovery Camp last week, we participated in Prayer Culture. Through prayer and direction from the Holy Spirit, I felt like I needed to bring that back to Velocity Jr. High. Every Thursday we are going to have "Thirsty Thursdays". It's a time for us to plug into God's presence through worship and prayer. It is optional - the gym, pool tables, etc. will still be open for Thursday Night Drive. It will be from 5pm - 9pm unless the Holy Spirit tells us otherwise.

Come check it out!

So this is my blog. Check out the summer calendar for 2009!
