It looks like you have a case of the Mondays

Hey Guys,

I don't know about you guys, but when Monday's roll around, sometimes I want to stay in bed and sleep. The feeling of being lazy and not wanting to do anything is a feeling that creeps over your mind. Maybe for you guys it looks like this, "Man, I don't want to go to school. I bet I can get my mom to let me stay home today." Than you either put on the sick act or just say your not going and that is that.

When this happens, something that helps me to realize I need to get up is Jesus. Because we are His image bearers and Light reflectors, we have to get up to show people who we are, Christians who love Jesus and want to show others whom He is. The next time you start to get the "Mondays" itch, remind yourself that Jesus wants us to show others and tell them about Him! Get up, pray and get ready for your day!

God Bless,
Steve

Reflections on Philadelphia

Hey Guys,

Like I said I wanted to keep this site updated more often, but as soon as I said that, we went on a mission's trip for a week and I couldn't use a computer. So for those of you guys who didn't go on the trip and for those of you guys who did, I wanted to share a little bit as to what happened during the trip.

First and foremost - Praise God for who He is and His ability to keep us safe and secure. The neighborhood we stayed was not the best but He got us through and gave us a fine time as well!

Everyone who went on the trip played an integral part of the dynamic that was Philadelphia 09. I am so glad and thankful for everyone who went and had the opportunity to minister to these different people. Thank You guys for coming and making this a trip that I will never forget.

The city is an amazing thing and even though I felt like I needed a shower when I left it, it always gives me an appreciation for the diversity and greatness that it is. I am starting to love the city more and more and not being as scared of it either!

The different ministries that we got to work with were great, though a bit unorganized at times, were great demonstrations of what it means to be helpers, servers and lovers of people. Thank you to Manna, Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, City Team, Philabundance, Open Air Campaigners and Bethel Temple Comm. Bible Church for your work.

For those of you guys who didn't get to go, we wish you were there!

Thank You All!

God Bless
Steve
