Weekend

Ok, Well you people try and solve the conundrum that is Anonymous, (and no he is not me, just so you know) I'll go ahead and put up another post.

This weekend was blast. I played hockey Friday night and got a nice slash on one arm and a bruise on the other so you know it was a good game. Then on Saturday I went paintballing with a bunch of the Living Water youth. Good times and good bruises so once again lots of fun. Now I really want to get a paintball gun. If only I wasn't a poor student :( On Sunday I about ping-pong'd and airhockeyed myself out at the Wassinks place.

The evening sermon also bears mentioning. It was on Judges 16:22-31 which is the story of Samson after he has been captured and then destroys the Philistine temple of Dagon. The point that really struck me was that of the hopeful sign that we read of in Judges 16:22 where it says: 'but the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.' In spite of his sin and folly God forgave him and his hair started to come back, and so it is with us. Even at when we are at our lowest point and floundering in our sins, God has mercy on us and our hair begins to grow back so to speak and we have a glimmer of hope. We just need to cast ourselves on Him like Samson does later on in the chapter and just as God gave him the physical strength he needed so He will give us the spiritual strength we need.

So yeah, all in all an excellent weekend. Good fun, good fellowship, and good teaching.

how are we going to highjack this one? how about everybody start by saying a funny quote.

"Sometimes I get really lonely. Especially when I'm throwing a Frisbee."

or if you think a better way to randomly highjack it just start and the rest of us will follow
