Rachel's B-Day

I'm hoping Rachel doesn't see this because she's having a hard time with this one. She was sad most of the day yesterday because it was her last day in her 20's (shhhhh).
We view the ominous 3-0 differently. I won't try to explain her reasons for not wanting to turn thi...that age. Instead I'll just give my outlook.
I've been having a hard time recently with people not taking me seriously. It's mainly because of my age. "Oh, you're still a kid!" is the attitude I get most of the time when I express my opinions or ideas. As I was discussing this with my pastor, he said something interesting: "It's now how long you've been on the road, but how far you've traveled." That was extremely encouraging! I don't mind turning 30 mainly because I'm hoping to be taken a little more seriously! I know, I know...it probably won't happen...but I can hope!

By the way, Rachel is not 30; she is 20-10.

Great Directions

Someone just posted this on myspace and I thought it was funny enough to share!

1. Go to google.com.
2. Click on Maps.
3. Click on Get Directions.
4. From: New York, New York.
5. To: Paris, France.
6. Then, read line #23.
7. Laugh

That's just too funny! I'm assuming it will give you the same instructions to get anywhere in Europe, Africa, Asia...and pretty much anywhere outside of the Americas.

Small Group

We've started our new series in our small group. It's called Wide Angle: Framing Your Worldview. It deals with the followging:

"Your worldview consists of the beliefs you
build your life on. It determines how you view God, yourself, and other people.
It includes your thoughts about life and death, good and evil, pain and
suffering, the past, the present and the future. It determines how you think
about your relationships, your time, and your money. Everything you think about
life is shaped by your worldview.
"In this small group study, Rick Warren and Chuck
Colson examine worldviews as they relate to the most important questions of our
day. They explore such key issues as truth, tolerance, terrorism,
reconciliation, and the purpose of life."
