Finally Here

Well we finally got here at the hotel around 4:30. I am so excited about tomorrow. I am glad I get the chance to come to Lads to Leaders.

Tomorrow

Well tomorrow is the day we will all go to Lads to Leaders. I am so excited. I can't wait to get there. I hope everybody has a safe trip there and back. Good luck in everything you do! See you there!

Being You

Have you ever thought "man I wish I was just like you?"  My whole life I have heard people say I wish I had your looks or I wish I could be as smart as you.  I mean really people!  God made you who you are.  If you be just like someone then there won't anybody to be you.  You were put on this Earth for a reason.  Not everybody has the same looks, personality, abilities, or friends but that don't make you any less of a person.  Stay true to yourself.  You are amazing just the way you are!

Technology

In today's society there are tons of forms of technology from cell phones to laptop computers.  People are constantly  coming up with new forms of technology.  With all these ways of being able to communicate with someone there is several ways to tell other people about God.  When you text someone are you talking about who you like or are you telling them what they have to do to go to Heaven?  Just think if someone is texting and driving and the person they are texting is you.  If that persons wrecks and dies what would be the last thing they read from you?  Would they have been reading a message from you about God or will it be a message full of drama and lies?

West Concord

Well tonight we traveled to West Concord Church of Christ to do our speeches, songs, and Bible reading.  I was so nervous!  The last time we went to do this at West Concord I was the youngest in the youth group and now I am the oldest.  Everybody did such a good job!  Even little Enoch and Jaiden did something being the youngest two participating in Lads to Leaders.  During the girls performing little Bayley leaned over to me and said "Your going last because your oldest."  I don't know if that is really why I went last but maybe being the oldest isn't so bad after all!

Advertisement

We have all seen the commercials advertising a certain product.  The commercial for Skittles uses the saying "Taste the Rainbow", Hershey's are said to be "Simple Pleasure Chocolates."  These are how people view these items.  How do people view you as a Christian?  When people see you do they think of how good you are or how bad you treated them?  God wants us to be good people and to teach his word.  If we don't present ourselves to people in the proper way then they won't think very much of us as Christians.  So think about it how do people view you?  How do you present your self?

Packing

Well last night I finally packed for Lads to Leaders!  I am so excited!  I usually pack like two weeks in advance!  I have driven my mom crazy with wanting to pack.  See you all Thursday!
