Athletic Age

Last weekend, Pastor Bob was talking about what he thinks Heaven will be like. One of the things that he mentioned is that in the bible, it says that we will all have new bodies. Pastor Bob is looking forward to that day because he can play basketball again and not do “sissy” things like elipticals.

I was thinking about that statement recently. It’s funny that he said that, especially after volleyball last night. In our second set of games, while we won all of them to give us a 6-0 record, I was feeling my age and lack of athleticism more than any other time I can remember. I felt like I was sluggish and not nearly as agile as I once was. Even the difference from last year was noticeable to me. I must concede though that it might be partly to do with the change over from using Hockey muscles to using Volleyball muscles too, but still…

Even though I am 20 years younger than Pastor Bob, I am starting to share his anticipation for our new bodies in Christ!

God’s Numbers

It’s good to know that Satan’s battle is not making as much headway as we are led to believe. According to this article; 91% of American’s say that they believe in God, 48% reject the theory of evolution, and 34% of American college graduates believe the Biblical account of creation!

It also says that 82% of people attribute themselves to be Christians. I wonder how much of that population is born again and actually have a relationship with Christ?

[AYA] Website is Live!

I finished migrating the mailing list information over to the new server.  As I was doing that, I decided to create the actual [AYA] page.  It’s still a work in progress.  Who knows what inspired the logo?

Snow Day!

Wow, for the first time in 10 years or so, I have a snow day!  I got an email this morning from the Fellowship One system at Eaglebrook saying that the morning’s services have been cancelled.  That’s too bad because the service sounded like it was going to be a good one.  I guess I will have to watch it online…

Hope for the Light

This morning’s “Insight for Today” talks about Hope. It didn’t hit me exactly, but it did make me think back to the biggest trial period I have had in my life yet. I then thought about my friends that are going through similar trying periods.
