Worship

Bono uses this term, a "glass heart." That would be really cool to have. God could be the hammer.

An Indie Person

What is unconscionable to me is that an atheist, the most helpless, hopeless person to breath life, can live his life as if everyday was a step forward for him. Further, what my mind cannot seem to come close to is the fact that an atheist can hang out and spend time with someone filled with life and peace, and somehow resist not taking a bite. How is the holy spirit not that contagious? Although it makes near no sense, I almost think that believing in some faith is better than believing in none, even if one thinks it is completely false. As an atheist, there is no point to one’s existence. You are just another dot on the map. You will live, go through school, smile, poop, make money, spend money, have ideas, try them, have pleasures, have pains, and then your life will end, the latter, according to them, in a state of literal disappearance. But, it is a paradox and, worse, a hoax, a lie, to live as though believing something, yet not really doing so.

I could half-way understand why someone would be an atheist. It takes a hard heart, some sort of outside attention, such as a reputation as being against the idea of God (so extreme now-a-days; or is it the other way around?), or an abuse or neglect of any kind that could cause any lonely heart to ask the question, “Why would such a good God do this (and worse of all) to me?” There is so much science out there that in some cases proves the absence of a God, and some that proves otherwise- all none conclusive and highly debatable.



My simple impression is that I know people who are godless, which, in my mind, is a paradox to the nature of humanity. How sad is the man with no God. Emmanuel no more. What is there to live for? What is the point?

Nancy Reed?

Ange, we need to do an old school Mexico Reunion. We can reminisce about van names, how all of the male leaders had that "man up" meeting, Al Charazi (I mean, come on), talk about that kid who wore that stupid mask and danced on stage, sing K-not To Us a 1000 times, When Jesus In My Boat?, Logan J. and I can remember the times we shared on Love Rock, affirmations? and so much more.

Inside AND Out

81 Days Until Argentina!

Argentina 2008 - Prayer Letter

Dear Friends and Family,

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! The last few months have been spectacular! In October, I performed as Professor Williard in the play, Our Town, at Mission Viejo High School’s Performing Arts Theater. My character received “dramatic” reviews from critics and the play, itself, was written about in the Orange County Register. Elsewhere, I have been busy writing essays and completing applications in my attempt to be admitted into college. As senior year at Mission Viejo High School moves towards the second semester, I have a solid group of friends who I share and do life with. I have met most of them through my home church, Saddleback Church.

I have been involved in several ministries in the high school ministry. I have taken my passion for drumming and joined the musical worship team. This “upbeat” group has taught me how to work as a team and to lead others to the Throne. Also, I am involved behind-the-scenes during the high school services, giving my knowledge and time in the art of lighting. I have been designing and running the lights for about two years and it has been one of the “brightest” parts of my life.

As part of a team of twenty students from the high school ministry, I will be traversing to Argentina in March of 2008. Argentina is a large country in the southern part of South America. This culturally European country is home to the highest peak in the world outside of Asia, Aconcagua, penetrating the clouds at 22,834 ft.

This missions trip is part of what is known as the P.E.A.C.E. plan, an outreach effort to attack the “five global giants.” They include spiritual emptiness, corrupt leadership, poverty, disease, and illiteracy. This initiative was created to:

P - Promote Reconciliation
E - Equip Leaders
A - Assist The Poor
C - Care For The Sick
E - Educate The Next Generation

Our main goal is to share the love of Christ with the people of Argentina. We willing be traveling to Mendoza, a small city located on the foothills of the Andes Mountains. One team will be working with a church and their outreach to the poor and orphan children. Working with another congregation, the second team will be working with an outreach to families. At this point, it is unclear which team I am apart of. My four years of AP spanish will play a key role in this trip.

There are two ways in which you can be of great assistance. First, PRAY! Pray that we will keep our ears open to what the Lord has called us to do. Also, pray that the team will be God’s ambassadors and honor him with our thoughts, deeds, actions, and words while we are in Argentina. As bond servants to the Lord, pray that we would be a united group with one goal: to love God and to love others.

A second way that you can help is through financial support. All support goes directly towards the funds of the trip, and no where else. The trip is an estimated $2140. Any support would be greatly appreciated. Obviously, this is a substantial amount, but I put my trust in God who transcends money; I know that he will provide for my needs. Please realize that this money is going to be used to share the love and Good News of Jesus Christ with the people of Argentina.

If God leads you to give something financially, small or large, please make it payable to Saddleback Church. Do not include my name in the memo area; in this way, it will be tax deductible. Please send your contributions in an enclosed envelope to my address, which can be found at the bottom of this page. Once given to me, I will take it directly to the church. I must raise $1200 by January 7th, and an additional $800 by February 1st.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I look forward to telling you about the many things that God will have done on my trip to Argentina. May God bless you with His extravagant love.

Sincerely,
Jay Kelly

Mom Gifts

So, the first gift I received on Christ mass morning was a package of assorted color boxer briefs from the mothership. Oh, motherly love!

Oh, Gosh

I'm so in the mood for a buzz/bleach!

Buzz the hair, then, bleach it!

Things I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me

The other night, I wrote up this whole thing on things I wish someone would have told me when I started high school. I am trying to figure if I should share it with people, and if so, who? The next freshman class? I'll admit, I am not sure. This one is an idea in progress.

Intemperance

Today, in Mr. Sabus' class of English, a group of us were studying William Shakespeare's Macbeth. There is a line where Macduff exclaims, "Boundless intemperance; in nature is a tyranny." After some research, we found that this phrase "boundless intemperance" means unrestrained lust. We laughed. As time went on, we tried to beat each other with different ways of saying unrestrained lust. The funniest ones were: uncontrolled sensual thirst, phenomenally unrestricted sexual bulgarity, and Ignited Margaret Thatcher Ecstasy. We came up with "Infinite Sabus Passions" for Mr. Sabus. He laughed.
