I'm tired of not writing anything. I always get a great idea of some pearl of wisdom to share with you guys, but then I get a little of the way into it and then I can never finish the idea. Anyway, I wanted to do a little project. Let me start with some background.
I'm a dreamer. I like big ideas and I usually get some crazy ones. Me and Charlie have talked about opening up different business that range from a T-Shirt making company, web design firm, and brewery. I always talk about some grandiose idea that I want the youth group to do or I want to do with my friends, and very few come to fruition. This post isn't about the negatives of dreaming though, this is about the positives. I think that God gives some people dreams. Some are just fancy ideas that don't ever happen, but you gotta have those dreamers who push everyone else to do big things. Even if only a few stick, at least those few stuck. So I'm going to post all the big, crazy, weird ideas I have for our church/youth group and I want you guys to add to them. Don't think that your ideas are stupid... maybe they are, but this is a safe place, and maybe something you think is stupid is exactly what God wants to do. So here goes... Feel free to add in the comments section.
A Bible school
A DTS that is connected to the church
Doing missions trips twice a year to different countries every time.
A newspaper/magazine
A recording studio
A coffee shop for people to hang out at and students to come to
A place for homeless people to live
A place where prayer is going on 24/7
A group that does art for Jesus
A dance team
Concerts
Conferences
A huge outreach ministry that goes to homeless shelters, soup kitchens, places that serve single mothers, widows, disabled, elderly people and everyone else... and orphans.
An awesome worship ministry where we record music and write our own songs.
A cool video ministry where we create videos for all sorts of things
Poetry readings
Cafe nights where people perform their art
Lots of small groups where people get to know each other on a more personal level
Those are just some of my ideas. Some are already happening, some are never going to happen. What are some dreams that you guys have?
He "is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." Eph. 3:20
Get with your reloveutionarys and ask God which thing to do first. He'll tell you.

Poetry = let’s do it.
Two different countries a year? Ayeyayay so much! Can we keep one old country per year so that we can establish relationships?
I'm going to need to just write another blog.
