Class of 2008THIS THURSDAY @ i53
This week our Mexico Missions Team is going to be sharing about their trip two weeks ago to Rosarito. We built a foundation and errected several concrete block walls while we were there. But what God built in our lives is even more exciting! Come here all about it this week at i53!

FREEDOM
As awesome as the freedom we have in this country is, it's nothing compared to the freedom we have in Christ. But with all freedom - comes responsibility! We talked about responsibilities last week at i53!
PRINCIPLE 1: RESTING in what God has done for you.
PRINCIPLE 2:RESPONDING with a life empowered by the Holy Spirit.
PRINCIPLE 3: REACHING OUT by becoming a contagious Christian.

   Something to Think About  

JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!
If a stealth bomber crashes in a forest, does it make a sound?
A single fact can spoil a good argument.
Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.
I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to.
Why do we sing "Take me out to the ball game" when we're already there?
If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?
If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a
   hostage situation?
If you yelled at your plants instead of talking to them, would they still grow?   
Is there another word for synonym?
Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?
