Well I had over 12 overs of driving to do this past week so I decided to listen to Tim Tebow’s book “Through My Eyes”.  My aunt got it for me so I decided to check it out.  The First 10 maybe 11 chapters were really good.  He keyed on his childhood and the fact that he almost didn’t come in to the world because of complications with his mother’s pregnancy.  Chapters 11-20 took you almost play by play through his high school and college career.  A bit much for me.  His faith, family and sports were his priorities as a young kid and those have seemed to stay consistent so far in his life.  I hope that Tim continues to stay of the right path and continues to share his faith on whatever stage he is on.

Lately I have heard many Church’s, pastors, youth pastors and others talking about their “cool website’s”.  They say how awesome they are and all of the cool media, pictures and music that they have.  I began to ask the question, how many hits have you been having on your sites daily, monthly and yearly.  Some would be astounded at how few people actually were viewing their “cool websites”.  In the video that I watched Drew ended his segment with this question, “If no one visits your cool website then does it really exist?  What a great question.  Just because you have a URL name doesn’t automatically mean that your website is going to draw a crowd.

For my final project in my internet and ministry class I have to create a website.  I am going to create one for my Youth Group here at Acworth UMC.  As I am planning, I don’t just want to make a “cool website”, I want a useful website where people can feel the love of Christ as well as obtain information and receive prayer and guidance.

So if you have or are in the process of creating a website, ask yourself whether or not you want a “cool website” or a meaning website.

³⁹Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”

⁴⁰Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”

⁴¹Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.

For the most part we have been blessed with ability to see the wonders of God’s creation.  But are we spiritually blind?  Blind of what God is trying to do in and through us every day?

Also if you still have some teams in the final four then you need to go play the lottery and buy me a ticket as well!!

I am almost done with my book review of the book, Santa Biblia: The Bible Through Hispanic Eyes by Justo L. Gonzalez.  I have to explore the five paradigms that he illustrates in his book and how I can apply it to my ministry today.  I have two more to write on and I am hoping that I can finish it up by tomorrow so I can relax this weekend and help with a fish fry at our Church this Saturday and maybe play a little softball.
