here is the first installment of my series of blogs. i feel like i should have my own, apart from the rest of the group. so here are my wise words of wisdom that i impart to you, the readers.
i got to meet some new people from michigan today, they were playing apples to apples, so i just had to play. they were nice people who like to have fun with each other.
so we just finished singing and we are watching some mothers day commercial, its very emotional, i think i see tears flowing from Abram's eyes. the women on stage is really crying. the crowd laughs pretty loudly. we are now playing a game called sit down if. i just lost because of my plentiful number of siblings. the winner just got a target gift card. now we are singing again. next up is another game. yeah, pretty fun i guess. so the guys up front keep making fun of everyone that comes up for the game. the guy leading the games is timing how long he can eat a double-double burger combo from in-n-out burger. he took 3:39 to eat it.
Doug Fields is our first speaker. he is the youth minister here at saddleback. he says that we are the church, talks about how jesus didnt tell us to pick up the cross when we are 18 or 21, we should do it now. "to be a successful leader is to know how to refuel your heart." thats a good quote i think. "if you are going to be a leader, you need to be topped off spiritually, by being close to God. Having a relationship with him." Ephesians 3:19- "you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God" God will constantly refuel you.
my computer is about to die, so this is the end of part one, sorry that you didnt get that much of the talk, but i will take notes and add them later.

Hey I would have done "sit down if" in the reverse! More sibs = more fun. Right? Yes I agree the quote about a leader needing to refuel his heart is a good one. But I think we had to be there for the mother's day commercial (huh??), no comprendo, sorry. However you are pretty good at liveblogging so keep the updates coming . . . Take care and I am praying for all of you at all the junctures of my day. -- Mrs. Gathman
