Where Did October Go?

Man you blink and an entire month just flies by! I am sorry guys for not posting the last two weeks....I have just been so busy with "stuff" and Trunk or Treat coming up this Saturday I have let the ol' blog go!

My apologies and lets get caught up shall we? We had the proph Jeremiah come and speak to the kid two weeks ago and what an awesome job our presenter did being the "weeping" prophet...it had the kids (and adults) in stitches!

Then this last week we talked about pursuing holiness and righteousness in our lives...I wonder sometimes if the kids get more out of the lessons or me sometimes, I felt totally convicted!

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform the good things which I have promised." Jeremiah 33:14

How many of us have been promised something by the Lord and then how patient are we to wait on that promise to be revealed or realized? I know that Gods words are like day and night, they will come, sooner or later you know it will be one or the other! Down in verse 2o of that same chapter God says "if you can break my covenant with the day or night then my covenants can be broken..." What God is saying is that we can bank on/trust in/count on/believe in/stand on/stand by/trust in His words in good times as well as the bad! We will be taking this subject on in greater detail with the kids this week...it promises to be, you guessed it, another awesome week in the Zone!

Later dudes

Oopsie Poopsie!

Sorry faithful followers of the Kids Blast Blog (or the KBB as we like to call it...actually nobody calls it that, lame attempt at being cool) anyway, I am so sorry, I have got so into things this week I totally forgot to blog about this past week and tell you what is up for the kids in the Zone this week!

Last week was (you guessed it) just awesome, well not awesome but "really" awesome! We discussed missions this last week and kicked off our book drive, where our kids are bringing in used books for the kids in the area in various reading programs through the local schools! First hour I had a blast making a "Kenyan Shake" illustrating the things we here in this country take for granted every day and do not think about the things kids around the world just do not have.....most of all Christ!

And how our missionaries not only address the physical needs of the kids we reach out to but the spiritual needs as well!

Second hour the fabulous Dougini was at it again with his incredible powers of illusion (not magic) in illustrating the same message!

This week our very own Cole/Melissa will be back from their trip from Kenya with our missions team and I am looking forward to a report from them and seeing all the pic's they took while there. And most of all telling of the great things God is doing there!

Cool! Hey have to keep this short but did not want to forget...well not totally forget to keep you up with what is happening in the Zone!

Later dudes!
