Howdy!
Ok, its Hilbilly/Western day today and since i couldnt find my overalls this morning, I dressed up like a cowgirl! :) I have a great hat on right now! LOL! I was gonna bring my guitar, but it was too cold to carry it this morning! Fun stuff!

The Chase
A few months back I read Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges (and have mentioned it several times here). It had a great impact on my life, and was, by far, one of the best books I read last year!!! Well in 2003, Jerry Bridges, with the help of Jay and Jen Howver put out a teen version of the book called The Chase. I got it yesterday and started reading it in morning devotions with my 7th graders. I'm very excited about it! Anyway, if you know a teenager (or you are one) and want to read something awesome and life altering.... Pick up God's Word b/c nothing is better than that! Also, go to your local Christian bookstore and buy The Chase or Pursuit of Holiness. It is a great book to go through on your own or with a friend!!! Full of Scriptural Truths!

The Passion of Christ
This movie by Mel Gibson comes out February 25!!! I've heard really good reviews of it thus far, and am excited to see it. Got an email today that had a link for the trailer in it. Thought I would share it with you guys.... Click HERE to watch

Encouragement
This morning Pastor Barber encouraged us in teacher devotions with the following scripture: A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: Prov. 17:22
Inspite of whatever circumstances, we can CHOOSE JOY!

Randomness
Ok so this was a few scattered thoughts from my day. :) Hope YOU have a Great one! Thanks for reading!
