One Parent to Another

One Parent to Another

As you know, February is Black History month. It got me thinking about Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous “I have a dream” speech. I read it on the internet the other day and the words stirred me again, as they have many times before. Later that same day, I was thinking about EDGE and the dream God has put in my heart for our students. It is simple and it is big.

I dream of our kids being so on fire for God that the entire church family can’t help but notice and be inspired. I dream of one day seeing hundreds of our students on their faces as a group in prayer. I dream of seeing leaders and teachers rise up out of our youth groups with a passion for God’s Word. I dream of worship so alive and full of the spirit of God that lives are forever changed. I dream of our kids having an eternal impact in the community…being a witness of the love of Jesus wherever they go…drawing in the lost and lonely of their generation. I also dream of parents coming together in support of each other, and committed to prayer. A ministry to help heal relationships between teens and parents, or help them grow even stronger.

That is my dream. That is my prayer. I am believing God for BIG things.

Here is the simple part…meet me for prayer on EDGE nights at 8:15 in the conference room. God has amazing things in store for our kids, and I don’t want to miss a bit of it.
How about you?

All right, this week's Commenter for Comment of the Week has been our most loyal commenter this year and has successfully posted comments literally millions of times (the funny thing is she will probably count how many and correct me). The COW award this week goes to Miss Becky Fuhry who is also known in blog world as who?? I like the insight she gave about Jillian Stouffer's post. Way to go, Becky!

Here it is:

who?? said...
That sounds like one of the lessons in edge- you know, "Loving Yourself?" It came right before "Loving Others." It's a good thing to think about. Like you said, we shouldn't act proud and like we're the best in the world, but not think there's anything wrong with us. If we say that, it's like telling God he made a mistake when he made us.pepsipepsipepsi

Congrats Becky! Pick up your prize this Friday at Edge!

What is your HABIT?

I am not talking about dirty HABITS, but I am talking about the HABITS that change your life. We just finished our HABITS series on Sunday mornings, and I want to know if there is one habit that you have tried to start as a result of what we have talked about. Hanging out with God, Accountability, Bible Memorization, Involvement in the church, Tithing, or Studying the Bible. Let us know. I encourage each of you to pick one and then over the next month, try to develop the habit and see what happens...see if there is a change in your life.

Why you are awesome.

Last night a watched a movie with the little girl I was babysitting. It was a super cute movie. You know - best friends, the beach, the blond heartthrob, the occasional mermaid, and a catchy soundtrack. I guess I'm easily entertained. And influenced. I'm thinking of moving to Cali and working in a surf shop.

Anyways. In the movie, this girl has a pair of earrings that speak into her ear. They have adorable squeaky voices that tell her all of the good things about her. They flatter her, but with the truth. You are beautiful inside and out. You are a true friend. You glow from the inside!

I'm looking into getting myself a pair. Okay, not really, but I actually think it is so important to remember what makes us special, what our good points are. While the media and the world is always telling us how we are not good enough...be thinner, be taller, be smarter... God is telling us something different. When I feel down about who I am or feel pressured by society, I want to focus on what God thinks of me! God made you an individual and made you quite lovely. Lovely enough to die for! There are ways that we all need to change and become more like Jesus, but never forget the ways that God made each of you wonderful!

Psalm 139:13-14 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

Cell Phones anyone?

I just got back from getting a new cell phone because mine did not work anymore. For me, it is such a relief to have a phone again. I got so used to having a phone that when mine did not work, I began to freak out and think that my life was coming to an end. If you are in edge, you are living in a brand new generation, a generation where everyone has a cell phone, and we do not know what to do without it.

About 8-10 years ago, very few people had them, and I am really suprised that people survived. I am shocked that people actually were able to live their lives without one. I am one of those people who lived without a cell phone, and I am living to tell about it. You had to call from home and when you weren't home, you had to wait until you got home to call someone. Crazy! You guys will never know any different though. You will always know cell phones and most of you will always have cell phones (at least as adults). I know not all of you have cell phones, but I would like to do a survey.

If you are reading this post right now, I would like you to comment if you have a cell phone. I am interested to see who has one. You can be anonymous if you want, but just say, yes, I have a cell phone so I know.

Thanks.

SOW!

Ladies and Gentleman, the comment of the week goes to Mr. Phil Renzi! Way to go Phil, representing the town of Twinsburg, home of the twins festival. Phil's comment was in response to what we talked about Friday night with little steps making a BIG Difference! Phil decided to take a step himself and told us about it. Nice work, Phil, keep doing it man! Oh yeah, and thanks for putting your full name when you commented!

Here it is, congrats Phil! Get your prize at the next Edge!

little steps make a BIG DIFFERENCE

If you were at Edge tonight, you heard about how little steps in your relationship with Christ can make a big difference. What are little steps you have made? What are the little steps you want to make? Let us know. I hope you guys will take on the challenge of asking God to show you a little step you can take every day to draw closer to Him.

Thanks for joining us tonight! I look forward to watching you guys make little steps, day by day....remember, baby steps!

coffee and the people who love it.

A lot of stores were closed yesterday morning since there was a horrible blizzard happening, but not my Starbucks. We opened at 5:30 a.m. when the rest of the world was cozy in bed, happy to have an excuse not to go outside.

I thought no one would come in for coffee. I thought we were crazy for being open. Why would anyone risk their life for a cup of coffee?

Oh, but they did. They did and they did it well. Not only did the regular customers show up, they came bearing Valentine's Day gifts! I pretended to be happy to see them, but inside I was wondering just how far a caffeine addiction will push someone.

One of our regular customers said he shoveled a quarter mile of driveway piled with feet of snow just to get out for his venti vanilla cappuccino. A twisted part of me was impressed.

What would you shovel a quarter mile of two feet high snow for?

What did you do on your snow day?

Snow days are great days! I remember when I was a wee lad and the few times it snowed like crazy (just like today) and there was so much snow that you could make tunnels and forts in the snow, and then have massive snowball fights. We usually spent most of the time making the snow and then by the time we were done, we just went inside and drank hot chocolate! That was a glorious time for me. How many of you made snow forts, snowmen, or tunnels in the snow today? I would love to hear about them if you did. There is enough snow out there to make some pretty sweet snow forts. It was always horrible when the weather got a little warmer and the snow fort melted. You always know the fort or snowman or whatever you make is not going to last long, but you still put the time into making it really good. It's good to know that our faith will not melt away like a snow fort. Our faith will last forever. It makes me think of a verse that is very comforting for those of us who know Jesus Christ as our Savior.

Isaiah 40:7

The grass withers and the flowers fall (the snow forts melt), but the word of our God stands forever.

You should memorize that. God has give us His Word that our faith in Christ will last forever!

the incredible Edge

Hey everyone, don't forget, Edge continues this Friday from 7-9 PM! Make sure you invite all of your friends back that you invited to the Edge games and Ski Splash Weekend! We want as many students back as possible! So get ready, lots of pizza, sweet games, the rockin edge band, the complete Edge games highlight video, prize giveaways, and find out how "little steps can make a difference."

A Taste of the Next Edge

I wanted to let you know a couple things about Edge coming up!

1. There is NO SUNDAY Edge this Sunday morning at 10 AM!

2. There is NO EDGE this Friday.

3. The next Edge is February 16th, next Friday, and we will be back into the full edge swing with the edge band, pizza, games, and a message. Don't miss next week's edge because we will be showing the complete edge games highlight video!

Get ready because the next couple Friday nights, we will be talking about how little steps can make BIG DIFFERENCE!

Ski Splash Weekend...get ready

Hey everyone, Ski Splash Weekend is almost hear so get ready. It's gonna be pretty cold so make sure you dress warm this weekend if you are going...I mean layers and layers...i mean hat, gloves, scarf, mittens, snow pants, parka, and more! For those of you who are going, I wanted to give you a few tips for the trip so you know what is going on and you are really prepared!

1. Have all the stuff you need for skiing or snowboarding with you when you get on the bus or under bus #1, and pack all of the other stuff (sleeping bag, pillow, overnight bag) you do not need until that night seperately to be put under bus #2.

2. Be sure to take really good care of your belongings such as ipods and cell phones. Don't lose them if you bring them, and my recommendation is that you don't even bring them.

3. All movies seen on the bus will be no more than PG so don't bring it if it is not.

4. Make sure you are prepared to have a ton of fun!

AGOW!

It's once again time for the Addicting Game of the Week!

This one is an absolute CLASSIC!

Enjoy Curveball! (it has nothing to do with Baseball)

Comment of the Week

This week's COW comes from the one and only Emma Lee Bock! First of all, Emma, Jillian is the one who posted the extreme cuteness post, but I liked your response. You gave a great example of serving God in the little things. Way to go!

I would love for all of you to comment on the things that God is teaching you if you can.

Here it is.


Emma Lee Bock said...
Hey Todd! I agree! Babies are adorable, and it IS amazing how their lungs are so small and that they can make so much noise! lolAnd also, about how serving God is about all the little things, but some big things? Well, I did some things to make God happy this morning. I helped my mom with weekly chores, and offered to help out around the house after I was done. I felt really good after I did it, and my mom sad she was proud of me. Sometimes, i think, it's all about the little things that can please God more than the big things. When you show that you care about others and take time to help them, like God did, I think he's more than proud, he's ecstatic. But it might just be me. lol ^-^

all right...make your picks

Who will it be? The Colts or the Bears. Yes, bears are fierce beasts who would probably win in a fight over a horse. It would be one thing if they were the stallions, but colts doesn't sound very intimidating. My call has to be the Colts this year. I think it's their year.

You make your call. 2 hours until game time. Have fun watching the game!

Extreme Cuteness

Happy Saturday! Do you guys love Saturday mornings? My friend Karrin has a "Happy Saturday" dance that she does because she loves them so much. Maybe it's a little extreme, but I can appreciate that she finds joy in the little things.

Speaking of little things...do you know what else I love? Babies! My parents are foster parents now, so they're taking care of someone else's child until that person can have their child back. So, two weeks ago, a little baby boy came to live at their house. As I like to say, he is extreme cuteness. He's only a month old and so little! I instantly loved him! (That's him in the picture.)

Having this new little guy around really has me thinking. First of all, I can't believe how fast his whole face can turn completely red. Beet red. His whole face. It's amazing. Two, how can one little person be so cute? And three, serving God can be hard. My parents are serving God by taking care of this baby, but it's not easy. My mom never gets any sleep and they don't get to go out and have fun very often. But, you know, it's totally worth it! In the end, a baby will be loved and nurtured and God is pleased. There is real joy in that, even though it didn't come easily. I hope that encourages you the next time God is calling you to serve Him.

Cold

The last couple days have been really cold...I mean the kind of cold that freezes the snot in your nose. Maybe not as cold as this guy has to be in this picture, but very cold! These kind of days make me want to curl up in bed and just hibernate for days and days just like bears and squirrels. Why can't human's hibernate? Sometimes, I am so unmotivated to get up in the morning because I am tired and cold. How many of you have ever felt like that? What is your motivation for getting up? Usually, if there is something to look forward to that day, you want to get up. But other than that, what is your motivation? Have you ever thought about how you are just alive and God gave you another day? Try thinking about that. Try thinking about some other people who may not make it to see another day and yet God allowed you to have another day. Tomorrow morning when you wake up, thank God for another day and be motivated to throw yourself out of bed and get your day started.

God made you just how he wanted, just the way you are, and each day, he has planned out just how he wanted in his perfect way, so remember that next time your alarm goes off and you throw it across the room and yell at it. What is your motivation for getting out of bed in the morning?

AGOW!

AGOW TIME!

Here is this week's comment of the week...brought to you by our own, Andy Perkins. Andy brought last week's comment of the week winner, Patrick, to The Edge Games, and because of that I would like to give him this coveted award for this week!

Comment of the Week goes to Andy Perkins, he said,

HABITS challenge

All right, everybody, who will take on this challenge that I gave this morning at Edge?

Memorize 1 Corinthians 10:13! Look it up, read over it, memorize it, and hide it in your heart. Remember, hiding God's Word in your heart will change your life!

Congrats Team Bahamas!

The 2007 Edge Games Champion is Team Bahamas! Way to go all you Bahamians. You fought hard from last place after the first week to this year's champs. One of the ways that you won the competition was with a week 3 record roster of over 70 students on your team, with each student worth 4,000 points. I am proud of your team, and all the teams that made The Edge Games so much fun! Nice job bringing friends too. We had 312 students there last night, and all the more that heard the awesome message of Jesus Christ!

There will be no Edge next Friday!

The Ski Splash Weekend is coming up in 2 weeks on February 10-11, so get your registration in ASAP! It was due last night, but we will take them if you get them in very soon!

The next Edge will be Friday, February16!

This is it...

Tonight is the final week of The 2007 Edge Games, and tonight is for all the marbles. Teams will compete to have their names etched in coveted Edge Games Torch. Points will triple tonight, and games will get more intense. Bring friends, friends, and more friends! Each person on your team is worth 4,000 points tonight!

Also, tonight will be my last talk to reach out to those who do not know Christ! This is a very important night for outreach so please pray for it and bring your friends. Also, when it comes time for me to talk, help us all out by quieting down so the important message from God will be heard by those who need to hear it.

Remember, there is also a contest for best dressed tonight so deck yourself out and win your team some major points!

I can't wait for tonight! Which team will win, will Uruguay stay on top or will one of the other teams rise to the occasion? We shall see!

"Try Out" Improv

Check this out about a great opportunity to use your gifts for God's glory:

Did you know HCC has an improv troupe "Out of the Blue" that performs shows like "Whose Line Is It Anyway"? Our troupe is faith-based -- without the commercials, Wayne Brady, or any viewer discretion advised (we're clean). Our goal is to reach non-believers in a different way to spread the Word of Christ. OOTB is part of Student Ministries and troupe members are middle, high school & college students.

If you've ever thought about doing comedy, drama or improv, experienced or not, please give us a try out. You'll find out more about what we do, and then you'll play along during a regular troupe practice. There's no obligation. If you're interested, we'll talk from there. If not, that's ok too. Try Outs are this Sunday (1/28) 4-6 in the High School Room. We especially need girls and high school students, but ALL are welcome. Questions? Email Kathleen Walder at KSWalder@neo.rr.com

AGOW!

Here it is, your ADDICTING GAME Of the WEEK!

Shoot some bubbles in this twist on the classic knockout type game.

The comment of the week this week is short, but the reason it has won comment of the week is because this person is new to Edge which, by the way, is what The Edge Games is all about, and he also posted on the blog which is awesome! So congrats Patrick, and I am not sure exactly who you are, but I would love to meet you!

Patrick said...
I really enjoyed the games. Andy invited me from Cambodia. Had a blast and can't wait for next week.
Sun Jan 14, 11:17:00 AM

Way to go Andy Perkins for inviting Patrick to The Edge Games! We hope to see you start coming to Edge more, Patrick! Everybody who is an Edge regular, give Patrick some love for his comment and for checking out our blog!

I would also like to post this comment even though it is from an anonymous commenter, it shows us what The Edge Games is all about and that is bringing new students and sharing Christ with them along with showing them that church can be fun.

Edge is soooooooo much fun. i never went to church before and i thought it was just boring and dumb. i thought all you did was sit aroud listening to the paster...BOY! did you prove me WRONG!!!!!! I had soooooooo much fun at the games. when my friend told me about it i was like "uh well i dunno...." 'cause i made the connection about the whole "Church" idea. but it was so much fun!!!!!!!!! I never knew church could be so much fun'n'stuf!!! sooooo anyway i was on cambodia and i think you are really cool.......

[Editor's Note:] team attendance has been added into the scores on the sidbar, they are now up-to-date. [End Note]

A word about bribes

I just thought I would talk real quick about bribing me or others for Edge Games points. As you have seen, bribing is a way to get points, but the usual bribes aren't impressing me. Anyway, I have received a few emails and some notes/signs on my door. That is great, but the same old things will not get points. However, all bribes aside, the best way to get points going into the final week will be to bring friends. I want you guys to remember the purpose of this event too. Even though it is a LOT of fun and every team wants to win, remember that many new students will hear about Jesus Christ for the first time. So pray for the night and pray that some students come to know Christ this Friday night!

See you Friday!

The VIDEOS ARE BACK!

Check 'em out, links on the side bar ----->

Don't Miss Week 2! Tonight!

If anyone knows anything about The Edge Games, week 2 only gets better, the points only get higher, and you guys get even crazier! Here is a little picture to give you a hint of what tonight will be like. Bring more friends, and get pumped. Week 2 in less than 13 hours.

Pepsi/Dr. Pepper...let's settle this

There has been a lot of talk back on forth on the debate between pepsi and dr. pepper. Let me say this, I have no problem with either kind of pop. They are ok, but if you want the best, you have got to go with Coca Cola! Coke is the best...hands down! The taste is smooth, tingly, and refreshing. There is nothing like an ice cold coke over ice after a long day. So, you can argue all you want about pepsi and dr. pepper, but those are both JV compared to Coke.

Drink Coke! It's crisp, it's cool, and it's the best! I think I will go have one right now. MMMMMM...that's nice!

[Editor's Note] Let's see if we can try to keep all further debate on our respective soft drink of choice limited to this post. Thanks. [End Note]

AGOW!

Alright it's that time again:

For those of you who liked that base jumping blobs game, you should also like this one.

The AGOW! for this week is..... RODENT TREE JUMP!

You're a squirrel. Land closest to the stake. Sound easy? It's not, but it's fun!

COW

All right folks, it's Monday, and you know what time it is...time for the COMMENT OF THE WEEK or the COW as we know it!

In light of The Edge Games going on, I picked a comment this week that showed much team spirit and also cracked me up. It was posted by a Cambodian Super Fan also known as Michael Rudy. Way to go Michael! You will get your prize next Sunday morning! Check it out and give Michael some love for his team spirit. I would like to continue to see some team spirit this week on the blog!

Also, remember that I we cannot give you the comment of the week unless you comment using your name. Some of you are putting some good comments that would have won if you would have identified yourselves!

H.A.B.I.T.S.

I know the talk around town these days is all Edge Games, but I wanted to pause and ask you guys what you thought about this morning and the new HABITS series. What do you all think and are you going to make an effort to start developing the HABIT of hanging out with God?

It's a great way to start the process of a changed and transformed life, and developing this habit now will save you from a lot of hardship later in life! Try it!

Week 1 is over...

Hey guys,
Week 1 of the edge games is now complete, but there are still 2 more weeks of The Games! We had a great turn out for the first week. Great job on bringing your friends! Keep inviting them back and invite more. It would be great to see more each week.

Last night was a lot of fun, and I would like to here some blog team spirit so keep posting and remember, bribes could get you more points, you never know. Uruguay is in the lead for now, but a lot can change!

SOW!

Good morning all!

It's Thursday and it's time for this week's STUDENT OF THE WEEK!!

They are coming!

The Edge Games are coming in 2 days! The countdown is on and many preparations are being made for this year's games. I want to let everyone know if you haven't already that you need to invite a friend that doesn't know Christ or has never been to church. This event is for those people. It is going to be a lot of fun! There will be some classic games, some new games, and some new tricks up our sleeves, but it is guaranteed to be a great time!

Don't miss this! Remember the Edge Games is 3 Fridays in a row (the 12th, 19th, and 26th!). Bring friends, bring neighbors, bring distant cousins, and hey, bring enemies!

AGOW!

Well, I'm feeling a little funny today so for some reason I chose this as this week's addicting game of the week:

UFO RESCUE

enjoy!

I also felt a little nostalgic, so if you remember computer games from way back when, you'll enjoy some of these old school games.

COW

This week's comment of the week comes from none other than Kyle Ptacek who is known to be quote worthy from time to time especially with his involvement in our improv troupe, "Out of the Blue." He posed a threat to all if you don't come to the edge games. So congrats to Kyle Ptacek on the comment of the week, and listen to what he has to say...check it out...

No Edge Tonight

I just wanted to remind everyone that there will be no edge tonight, but we will resume Sunday Edge this Sunday at 10:00 AM. I look forward to seeing all of you there. Next Friday is the start of The 2007 Edge Games. If you are in a small group, your small group leader will be telling you what team you are on for the Edge Games and what your team's color will be so you can come prepared next Friday!

Have a great weekend! By the way, Go Buckeyes! Make sure you watch the game on Monday!

The Edge Games

The Edge Games is coming next Friday, and I hope you all are ready. It's going to be bigger and better than last year! I want everyone to remember the purpose of The Edge Games, and that is to bring unsaved, unchurched friends to this event so that they hear about Christ for the first time and come to know Him. Think about who you want to invite and ask them now. It's going to be a great time! Check out the details on this flyer-->

There is no Edge this Friday because the Edge Games will happen the next 3 Fridays. Get pumped, get psyched, get crazy, cause here they come!

AGOW

Hey Edge people, Christmas break is over and we are now getting back into the swing of things. Get back into the "swing of things" with a little mini golf. My score for 18 holes was a 43. Watch out for the last hole, it will get you.

You can expect daily posts now that things are back to normal! Have a great day and enjoy a little minigolf.
