Youth House Work Day

Well, we worked really hard today at the youth house. It was a bigger job than we had anticipated. We know that we for sure found at least 5 different wallpapers on the wall and perhaps more. After scraping and scraping and scraping some more, there is still more scraping to do. But one fine day... It'll be worth it.

Rescued From an Ordinary Life

This Wednesday Night we will begin a 4 week series called "Rescued From An Ordinary Life" based on John 10:10. The series will be taught by Adam.
Week 1: Watch Out For The Thief
Week 2: When God Came Near

Adam's Tag

Hey guys. I've been in Nashville all week for grad school. I'm coming home tomorrow (Friday) evening. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you again. And now...just to shock everyone who doesn't think I'll do this...here's my "tag":

10 years ago I: was 19 years old and starting college at Troy State University. At that point I thought I was going into broadcast journalism.

5 years ago I: was 24 years old and was married to Dana, still it total shock that someone as wonderful as her would marry me.

1 year ago I: was still in total shock that someone as wonderful as Dana married me, had been a Dad for a little over a year to my beautiful little girl, and was living in Panama City, FL

Yesterday I was: In Nashville at Grad School missing my wife, daughter, and youth group.


5 snacks i enjoy: Bearclaws, Bananna Nut Muffins from Starbucks, Twix, Cool Ranch Doritos, Movie Theater Popcorn

5 songs i know by heart: "No Such Thing" by John Mayer, "Hanging by a Moment" by Lifehouse, "In The Light" by D.C. Talk, "Creed" by Third Day, "Who Am I" by Casting Crowns

5 things i would do with a million dollars: Give some to church, pay off my car, pay off the house, put some in a savings account for Emma, buy a bunch of useless junk

5 places i would run away to: I have no reason to run away.

5 things i would never wear: Anything pink, spandex, a speedo, bellbottoms, leather pants

5 favorite t.v shows: Smallville, E.R., American Idol, Crossing Jordan, Extreme Makeover Home Edition

5 Bad Habits: zoning out, not listening well sometimes, staying up too late, not eating healthy, caffine

5 greatest joys: Dana, Emma, Jesus, my job, the youth group


5 fictional characters i would date: Umm...I'm married

Who needs to do this now:
anyone in the youth group who hasn't done it yet. Seriously, if I did it then you have no excuse.

Note From Kevin

Hello from Cincy! I hope you are enjoying the pics from our first day doing "word on the street" in the inner city of Cincy. Our teens are working very hard and doing an awesome job reaching out to the children even though it was 93 degrees and very humid. The children are seeing the love of Jesus through our teens eyes. One of the children told one of our teens "thank you for loving me".
Conitnue to keep us in your prayers. Today we will be painting in the morning and doing word on the street this afternoon. Also, a few of us will be going with Pat Pugh to do a bible study.
God Bless!

Technical Difficulties
