Christian's have a responsibility to lead others to Christ

Romans 9:10 (explains how to accept christ)
Once we receive Jesus Christ in our hearts & choose to walk in his ways, we have access into a kingdom filled w/ unlimited resources.
"Heaven is real but so is hell, don't wait too late to choose your eternal resting place."

Youth Personal Hygiene Check

Parents please check your kids personal hygiene. Once a child turns a certain age (and as their activity level increase) they start to perspire more than usual and because of it, they may need to start putting on deodorant and a little smell good.
Just saying!

Love People Regardless of their Personal Preferences

People I choose to love; Republicans, Democrats & Independents, not because of their political positions but because the Jesus in me says so.
Advertising made by the, "Jesus is Love Party."

Someday

~In This Cold, Cold World~
Someday in this cold, cold world, when all God's children are on fire for the lord (at the same time), the heat that radiates from our love (for Jesus), our commitment and faithfulness will keep us all warm, like an old fashion blanket (sewn by hand).
Did you know?
Christian's are called by God to promote & spread the Gospel.
Matthew 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Hoop Hunter Student-Athlete Basketball Tip:

~If I were you & I never got the ball passed to me, what would I do? "I would become a Garbage Collector"~
The bible say's, "it's more of a blessing to give than it is to receive" so, I would take that to heart and try to apply it to my play on the court.
So, during games that I never get passed the ball or when I get it and I'm asked to pass it to someone else, I would gladly pass it to the person that the coach prefers to shoot and simply head to the basket to get the rebound (assuming that they are going to miss).
In theory, I would train my brain to think that almost every time my teammates shoot, the shot is going to be missed and become garbage. And I, (the garbage collector) would hustle towards the basket while anticipating where the missed shot is going to fall, get the rebound and recycle the missed shot (putting it back in the basket).
At the end of the game, my stats would look like this, (garbage collector) 20 rebounds and 40 points.
Not to shabby huh!

What Defines Us?

Who we are as a person should never be defined by our career, education, athletic achievements nor our (iconic) popularity in our community but rather by our love & compassion for others, our willingness to help & esteem others less fortunate and our humble commitment to the service we've been called and inspired to work by almighty God.

Don't Let Being Told That You Didn't Make The Team Become the "End of You" but Rather, "The Life of You."

Parents, if you have a child who participates in any type of organized sports and/or educational tryouts and they aren't selected or perhaps they don't make the team of their choice, it's okay to be disappointed but please, please & pretty please don't get mad and spit venom on the coaches/teachers about the process by saying, "it's not fair." But let the experience be a positive and teachable moment that helps them in other areas of life.
And remember, sometimes in life no matter how much we prepare for something, the answer is, "not this time" or "not right now." Getting mad and starting a public petition against the process doesn't help the situation and neither does it teach your child how to deal with disappointments in a manner that reveals good character.
Question:
Does God give you what you want and ask for all the time although you've been obedient? And when he say's no or not right now, do you go and change your religion?
Just saying!
