Colossians

Hey friends! Sorry I haven't written in so long! But thats a good thing. It means I'm having more fun and getting more done! Well, this last week our principal Peter Reid spoke again. He is great. He spoke on the book of Colossians. It was a letter that he wrote from prison in Rome and is full of great stuff. The verse that we focused on is Colossians 2:6 "Therefore, as you have received Christ Jesus our Lord, so walk in Him." We are told to walk IN Him, not live FOR Him. Ever think the Christian life is hard? It's not- it's impossible! So instead of tiring yourself out by trying to live for Him, simply say "Thank you Lord for living in me." To further illustrate this point, Peter pointed out that we are called human BEINGS not human DOINGS. word. This week a man named Ken Needham is lecturing on the book of Hebrews. He knows Stuart and Jill and is about their age. The other day I ate breakfast with him, and as he told us about his home in Ireland, he said he lived on the mountainside overlooking the ocean, and that he has no neighbors. He said, "You know what Stuart Brisco would say? 'That way I don't have to love anybody.'" Ha Ha! Oh yea. I went to a castle this weekend. The one Walt Disney modeled the Disney castles after. And on the way there some girls were deciding which Disney princess fit their personalities. When they saw me they immediately said, "Mulan!" Ha ha.

  1. I would've said Belle - independent, beautiful, sees true character... of course I've never seen Mulan. Is she the one that dresses up like a boy? Maybe that does fit you then. :)
