A post about nothing

This post has no message or lesson, it won't give you any smart tips or deep thoughts. This post is to let you know what is going on right now.

Fun Fact: For lunch I had beans and wieners- it was delicious. If you have never had it before you heat up some beans in tomato sauce, cook some hot dogs and mix them together. Tasty and Cheap!

Currently Listening to: A mixture of television theme songs, worship music, and Simon and Garfunkel.

What I'm working on: I am creating a 4 week Sunday School series called "A walk through Exodus" The four weeks are: Moses, The 10 Commandments, Ark of the Covenant, The Tabernacle.
The hope is to talk about how these Old Testament things relate to our current faith. Do they matter? Can we learn something from them? and Why should we learn about this stuff?

Last App I used: Bejewelled Blitz- Its awesome because of 1 minute blitz games of Bejewelled. It gives me a quick break but I don't get distracted for too long

Whats on my mind: What events/things can I do to grow and strength our youth adults ministry at the church.

Last thing I laughed at:
        
No offence meant to my veggie friends    
Thing I am avoiding most: Cleaning off my desk

What I am doing as soon as I finish this email: Picking up a roast chicken for dinner then heading home!

Hope you enjoyed my post about nothing.

Eggs and Jesus

As Easter has just past I hope the thoughts of Christ are still lingering with us. It is easy to get set up for one of the "big days" in our faith and then pass by it without spending some moments to look back.

This past week a couple of youth came to Wednesday night hang out for egg dyeing! It was a lot of fun, though we might have left a few colored stains on some bowls. So if you are at a church function and get a color streaked bowl don't worry.

If you have ever done much egg dyeing you quickly realize that it is important to blow the yolk out of the egg. You want it to be empty, so that way if it ever cracks down the line you don't have to put up with the nasty smell of rotten eggs.

So when we went about our time dyeing eggs, we had to blow them out. This is possibly my favorite part of the process. It is hard to do properly and it makes a huge mess. This got me to thinking, isn't the egg blowing like what Jesus does for us.

Christ came to die on the cross so that we can be cleaned out on the inside from our sins. Its a messy process for us to deal with our sins and get rid of the after effects, but really we just sit there while Jesus cleans out our insides. He needs to clean out our insides so that when we are broken we don't smell rotten.

What a simple thing we can see to understand our lives Christ more.
