Mission Impossible
Monday, October 31, 2005
We don't celebrate Haloween around here... it's not neccessary, but it's just not a good 31st of October unless there are a few pranks. So this year a few girls from Gould (Megan Lynch, Barbara Gerlach, Heather Rineger, Lisa Root, Ashley Sloop, and Nikki Bowers) decided it would be wonderful to TP their dorm's sup's (Heather Waite) appartment. Heather took it really well... She actully wanted a picture with the perpetrators in the TP'd room. What fun what fun!
Missions Conference

Mission's Conf.
I hope tomorrow to have some pictures of the mission's conf. I keep forgetting to take my camera with me. Forgive me..
Ok, I normally don't do this in this blog, but it's my Blog and I will do what I wish: I am going to give a personal testimony. Yesterday marked the start of the Misson's conference here at MBBC. I came in with the attitude of "Oh, it'll be nice to see videos of the missionaries, and all, but I've got a lot of work to do, and I really wish the wouldn't make it a requirement to go to these things, because they make you feel that if you do not go to the Foriegn field, you're not a good Christian." Anywho, I still like to hear preaching so I asked the Lord to open my heart to whatever he wanted me to hear... Ouch. Last night Dr. Sisk (sp?) preached about the joy of missions, his main three points were there is Joy to the Recipiant, there is Joy in Heaven, and there is joy to the participant, and the Lord did a mighty tug in my heart. I may not be called to a foreign field, I don't know, but that doesn't mean I can't expeiriance the joy that Dr. Sisk was talking about... What about here? When was the last time I handed a tract to someone? When was the last time I pulled out of my comfort zone to ask someone where they were going to spend eternity? When was the last time I spent hours of prayer burdened for just one soul? Then this morning when Mrs. Zimmer was talking about how she was struggling about going to the mission field because of fear of losing comfort... the thought came to me again. I struggle often with witnessing because, well it's uncomfortable... but am I going to risk someone's chance at eternity for a few years of comfort? I can't be an effective Christian if I am not willing to be uncomfortable. I guess the whole point of me writing this is, yeah... the mission's conference is geered to stir up a zeal for missions... but don't turn your heart off just because you don't feel a call to a foreign field... Missions is just more than going to Africa, Europe, South America, ect.. Missions is being effective wherever you are at for Christ. Open your heart to what God has to say... and if he calls you to a Foreign field great, if he doesn't... be effective where you are at.

Fall Fest
Saturday, October 15, 2005
It's been the buzz around campus for the last few weeks... "Oo, who are you taking?" "Ooo, he asked me!!!!" or "Oo, she's going with me!" Whatever the conversation, Fall fest usually comes into it sometime. Last night was the big event, girls spent hours fixing their hair to impress that special guy, and at 7pm Sharp all the work, sweat, and preparation paid off.
The Entertainment this year was fabulous, All three college choirs joined forces to present Negro-Spirituals to the audiance. It was a special blessing to the heart because inbetween each song, there was a scripture reading and narration that brought application. It was Absolutely Beautiful!!!
The Orchestra was also part of this production, along with the precussion ensamble (which played Dry Bones for an offertory) Dr. Saxon did the narration, Tim Miller, Scott Love, and Nathan Sutherland did the scripture reading. Truely it was a God gloryfiying program.
My pictures on Cnet:

Not to brag or anything, but I was browsing CNET (our on campus site for all info) when I discovered that several of the pics I took were on the front page... I was thrilled... if you keep hitting your refresh button, you can see some of my photos!! HOW COOL IS THAT!?!?!
Harvest...
Tuesday, October 11, 2005
The snackshop here has been appropriately decorated for Autumn(I may get a picture of it here sometime)... "Pray ye therefore the LORD of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." Question is... are we faithfully living that verse? Just because we are on campus and surrounded by Christians gives us no excuse to not be labourers in the harvest. We are a student body of 900+ students and we should faithfully going off campus and having a postive effect on the communities around us... Go! Do! NOW!!!!!!!
YEAH CLASS COLOR DAY!
