Church Today

The service in the morning involved the Girls and Boys brigades. Steve talked about the end times. No-one knows when it will come. And he used parables as Jesus did. Everyone got given a medal/talent, some big, some small and Steve explained that the rich man who gave different amounts of money to the three different men and how he was contented with the returns he got with each of them (with the exception of the man who buried his because he feared the anger of the rich man if he lost/wasted it) But the man said the same thing to both men who returned with gain. He told both men that he would put them in charge of larger amounts of money because they had proven faithful with what they were given. No matter who got what size talent, if we use them right (FOR GOD) then God is well pleased with us and invests us into bigger and better things.

Go carting with the boys. Randall, Mark, Michael K and myself went go carting. I got an offical warnign that if i banged another car i was outta there. There went my overtaking tactics and so i got stuck behind michael for about 15 laps until someone else caught us up and overtook him. I followed their lead and finally got passed him. No-one counted their laps or overtakes but i'm sure Randall won. He was the only one i didn't overtake of all the people on the course. (I did get over taken several times after my official warning though so i can't say i came second) The main point was, it was stacks of fun.

Lynne talked in the evening about Healing. She too used parables. Or examples. We discussed in groups things that were inflicted on us and how we overcame or were healed of those afflictions.
