No rest for the wicked...

First things first...I found my Bible! It was at the foot of my bed and one of my blankets was hanging off enough that I couldn't see it unless I got down and looked carefully...guess that could be a metaphor for alot of things.

It was a busy last week or so with Thanksgiving and all. College students back in town, schools out, teachers have meetings, and the rest of us had good old work. Oh, and if you are looking for a sugar moma or some creepy guy to brush against you or ask you to dance, go to Downtown Ollies ;)

So Sunday was the last day in November which means the end of our schinnanigins on Sundays. Whether this last one was a sucess or not...is still up for debate. For those of you who attend the 9:30 service, the plan was to pass one a little slip of paper with 1 of 5 questions of the day. It was meant to be a conversation starter when people greeted each other but that concept was somewhat overshadowed by Jeff's suggestion of sharing things we are thankful for with others...like that hasn't been overdone...

For dinner we had a delightful dish, poultry free I might add, known fondly as Newman Casserole. We also had some stuffing that Mark seemed to like more than anyone else, green beans, and some crannberries. The question of the day was describe your most memorable night...yea...you had to be there for this one...lets just say what is said at young adults stays at young adults. Got to be there if you want to be part of the circle of trust.

We picked up in Hebrews where we left off the previous week. We started at Ch 5 verse 11 which was actually incorrect as we read through until 6 but it never hurts to read things over again. I really got to start taking notes or writing the night of or something but I think the first part of what we read dealt as a reminder/warning to people against knowing God and turning away from him. Was somewhat reminiscent of the conversation that we had at Mark and Hanna's about the unforgiveable sin. The second half dealt with the certainty of God's promise. I could have this all wrong so feel free to chime in and contribute.

Now, I recieved some flack about not writing the previous week. What can I say, I was busy and I tend to avoid my computer when I'm not trying to kill time on it at work. Anyways, Dave was alittle upset that I didn't write and he wanted to really really post some information about this priest Melchizedek that we have heard...errr read some much about...nows your chance Dave. Lets see how long it takes before you post this info...

Less than 7...

So we had less than 7 people on Sunday so Newman envoked a rule that less than 7 people and we do not have a bible discuccion/reading. There was only 6 until Dave and Karen came home and found us eating pizza and watching "Too fast too furious" in their living room...

So on Sunday we did the "Whose Pew" thing which, by the way, everyone owes my and Newman big time (except Laura and Jenna) because somehow we got stuck doing the thing as everyone was conviently "out of town" or absent. People actually participated and the winner was Larry Gomez.

So with Karen not present we took the route of having pizza. As afore mentioned...attendance was minimal and we thus watch Too fast too furious and debated Paul walker and tyrese. Next on was the Bourne Identity so we naturally began to watch that. That was pretty much all that happened...oh...and Loius showed up and Jesus once again cried...

Incase you haven't checked your email, Hanna sent out an email outlining our plans for next Sunday. Guess that means her and Mark made it back from their cabin trip. Check it!

That is all...

John 11:35 or not...

So this past weekend was Supernova for the November birthdays. It was alot of fun and there was enough food left over to excuse Karen from cooking on Sunday. We all learned many things, like flatulence is funny (cough...Shawna) and that lemon liquor, vodka, and cranberry juice mixes well.

So Sunday service kicked off our November plans of which I don't need to be reminded of, was not a part of as I didn't make it to the service. So, basicly for those of you not caught up with Hanna's emails the jist is that we were going to try and sit in other peoples seats to get people to move around and meet each other. This, however, is excluded next Sunday as we would like to play a game with the congregation called "Who's Pew." Kind of a Where's Waldo type thing.

Sadly, there was running that went on Sunday but I sadly was not called.

So as afore mentioned, our dinner consisted of previously served food which was just as good the second time around.For those of you playing at home the question of the night was what punishment would you delve out to convicted murders besides capital punishment. Needless to say this brought out some interesting ideas. Word of advice don't cross Juliette or Karen; she may or may not have been involved in a brakes incident. Other ideas thrown out were using them as test subjects for medical treatment, forced labor, exporting them, and bringing back a gladiator type reality tv show. Oh...and if someone sends me the link to the Phillipino prison thriller thing then I could post it here.

So we delved deeper into the book of Hebrews, specificly chapter 3. It was actually broken into two sections: one describing Jesus as greater than Moses and the second was a warning against unbelief citing the Isrealites wandering in the desert for 40 years. Any thoughts?

So surprisingly Jesus didn't cry this week or vomit but I think Karen made Dave shed a single tear...

So, several people will be missing this next weekend. Shawna is in Seattle doing something that I assume is work related. Mark and Hanna will be gone, no clue where they will be at. Dave and Karen will be in Salt Lake visiting Rochelle. If anyone wants to send a note or anything with them I'm sure they would be glad to take it to her. Just contact Dave or Karen or possibly drop it off at their house but before Friday as they are leaving Friday morning. Young Adults is slated to still be at the Knapps as Amanda will be house sitting (house party?) and I believe pizza is on the menu.

If you take the time to read this, please leave a comment and if I get some pictures from Supernova I'll see about posing them so everyone can revel in our fun...
