I knew no one would live up to the three saltine crackers in 45 seconds routine. Madison certainly got close, if it were not for her disgusting drooling habit. I'm hoping everyone is having fun at JAM, I have no idea what you guys did for a game last week. I was probably there and I cannot seem to remember what happened. Kudos to Foster for making such a memorable game :) I hope you all enjoyed the lesson on the Trinity, I know it is a pretty deep topic to try and understand but just getting to know each of the three Persons (Father, Son, Spirit) will definitely help you out as you learn more about Him.
Just wanted to remind you that there will be no JAM this Wednesday because of First Wednesday. But like I said last week, it would be awesome if you could wear your JAM T-shirts and we could all sit together in an area together!! We'll meet in the atrium and all go in together, that will be sweet.
Now, since I am all for making things easier in your life as well as using those fantastic brains of yours... I would like to share this video... see how much more stuff you can get done by being creative??
Ok, hope to see you all for First Wednesday this week! Peace out.
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!
