No worries about it taking so long. :o) I thought I would write to tell you what we did, so you could tell other people about it, if you had more people asking. I did 5 questions. The group of kids we are targeting with this are mostly "crowd" students. They come to church, but that is it. So I was trying to think of a way to get them to start thinking about spiritual things, and these questions worked out GREAT! Praise the Lord! :o) 1.-What does God think about Tattoos? 2.-What does God think about Evolution? 3.-What does God think about Possessions? 4.-What does God think about Dating? 5.-How do you know God exists? When we did the lessons (we are on #3 right now) we always bring it back to some sort of salvation tie in. It is working out great! Tattoos we ended it with what is the condition of your heart. Evolution we reminded them that man is with out excuse (romans 1:20). And tonight we are going to do Possessions, and look at the guy who stored up stuff for himself and then sat back to eat drink and be merry, and then his "soul was required of him". Anyway, just thought you would be interested. #5 we are going to spend more time on next semester. Should be good! Thanks for the thoughts! Katie Thanks for getting back to me.

It seems like the more involved in ministry I get, the less time I get to check my mail. Some of the questions that I asked were..... Why do we go to church? What does it mean to be saved? What is accountability? Just come up with questions where you think that your youth group might need to talk about or questions that they know little about. Let me know if this helps. ps....search "tough questions" in the search box and you will see the poster pics! Hey, sorry that it has been a while for me to get back to you.

Imagine that if he had lived to engaged himself in the concerts that he was obligated to do, he would have failed miserably as the super star he wants was. Imagine Michael’s drug addictions and cosmetic surgeries seriously damaging his breathing, respiratory system, stamina and endurance. Imagine there is a time and place for everything and his place and time came to a peak. Imagine God is good all the time and all the time GOD is good. Imagine Michael in heaven at peace with himself...
