JAM @ The Cove

This week we are going to be talking about the Trinity. I was reading in my little electronic Bible library thingy this morning and this was the definition that it gave about the Trinity:

1. That God is one, and that there is but one God (Deut. 6:4; 1 Kings 8:60; Isa. 44:6; Mark 12:29, 32; John 10:30). 2. That the Father is a distinct divine Person (hypostasis, subsistentia, persona, suppositum intellectuale), distinct from the Son and the Holy Spirit. 3. That Jesus Christ was truly God, and yet was a Person distinct from the Father and the Holy Spirit. 4. That the Holy Spirit is also a distinct divine Person.

Ummmm... What?!? All that is saying is that there is one God... the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all God... each one of them is separate from the other one. Does that make sense?? No??? What's wrong with you? :) I know the Trinity is an extremely hard concept for us to think about, but here is a picture of a cluster... and here is a picture of a grape. The grape is fine by itself, but it is complete in the cluster. There doesn't all make sense now?? Still no??? That is ok, hopefully we can clear it up for you tomorrow night.

Last week was great! We had 42 people come to JAM and I know more people will be there tomorrow night. Chicken and the Hen House is always a very fun game to play, even though we have some people fall off the hen house or try to drink tea on their horse... And hopefully we can give Foster that swirly here in a few weeks. Aside from that, I want to write about the art of nick-name creation. Last week, Nate's group all had nicknames by the time I came around to visit them... here are just a few of the 5 star creations: Mr. Cool, Glaydenator, Flipper, Wizee, Panda Bear and Applesauce. I would love to know why you guys chose the names that you did. My nick-naming art is somewhat strange and sort of a science. Here are the nicknames I have for my family:

Mom = Mumba
Dad = Flat Pat
Ashley (sister) = Nasher
Amy (sister) = Reubonian
Meagan (sister) = Bulbis

Thank you, thank you.

Write down your thoughts about the Trinity and/or Nicknames in the comment section! See you guys tomorrow!
