Wipe Out

Ok- So there's this new show called WipeOut on ABC Tuesday nights at 8pm. I look forward to watching it every week! Michael and I laugh so hard as we watch it! It brings some much needed humor to our busy lives! I laugh so hard that Michael said last week "Jannae-we're gona have to start watching this during the day-cuz you laugh to loud and are gona wake up our neighbors!!" It's just pretty much people going through some ridiculous obstacle courses and the commentary by WipeOut's hosts is just priceless!!! So go write yourself a reminder to watch it next week cuz you won't regret it!! Set your TiVo to record it! Here's just a little taste from You Tube but really- only watching the show will do justice of how funny it really is!

Obedience

I never understood what this meant until last night. ( I am still learning about it) So for several weeks I have had it on my heart to get down on my knees and pray with my wife about God's will in our lives and the house that we would move into. As I thought about this and pictured my self on my knees praying I said man that will look so funny what will my wife think of me asking her do do that with me this is silly. So I kinda put it on the back burner. So last night I said Jess turn off the tv and lets get on our knees and pray. She did not question anything about it. We prayed for a longtime. I prayed that God would show us his will, and that he would give us this house we put an offer on. I find looking for and feeling out God's will to be the hardest part of being a Christian. Today when Jess called me and said that the bank accepted the offer on the house I was ecstatic. This is what it means to be obedient when you have a calling on your heart do not ignore it. God will bless you for being in tune to what He asks.

How to NOT apply spray sunscreen!

One of our youths just recently was seen with some rather odd stripes on his back. When asked what happened he said "What? I was surfing all day and I guess my friend didn't put the sunscreen on right!" Well people at Sanctuary this is a reminder for this summer. RUB THE SUNSCREEN IN AFTER YOU APPLY IT!

Lounge Overnighter 08!

This last weekend was our Overnighter at Mile High Pines. We had a total of 17 youth, and 8 leaders go. We had an absolute BLAST! We played games, had in depth messages, and most importantly connected with GOD. I was totally blessed by our awesome youth and the stories they had to tell while we were up the hill. I didn't expect to have as much fun as I did, I honestly thought that this camp was going to be a chore. The Lord really opened my eyes and heart to see the genuine work He is doing in the lives of every single youth that went. I'm truly thankful for the youth and the love they show all of us here in the Lounge!

the mother's womb

Can you imagine if we really had to re-enter our mother's womb? I know that I, Jannae, would go crazy! Having Baylee inside of me 1 time seems to be just enough...Thank you Jesus for die-ing for us so that we can be reborn through you and you alone!!! I am very thankful that Nicodemus asked this question..what if he didn't? Would we be wondering how to get the massive human being back into his mother's womb? I love how in verse 5 Jesus just repeats himself- "I tell you the truth"...I picture him saying this so calmly and with much patience...I need more patience like this...seriously though-Take a minute to thank Jesus today for die-ing on the cross for our sins and making a way for us to truly be 'born again!' We take that so for granted...don't we?

John 3:3-5
3In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.[a]"
4"How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!"
5Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
