Youth Group Update

At youth group, the challenge was made to draw a picture of God. I've posted the resulting pictures here for all to see. (click on the picture to view a larger version)

It is interesting to see the various ideas of what God might look like. You will see a purple mass (which represents a robe), an angel, a ball of light, a figure that resembles Mary, a robed king with no face, and then my personal favorite, the "Jay Leno" God (thanks Dakota!).

We discussed why everyone has a different view of what God looks like. We then talked about how when someone is in need (be it spiritually, physically, financially, etc.), their picture of God is the picture that we show them. The way our lives reflect God is the picture that other people begin to form in their minds as to what God looks like.



Josh finally decided to show up for the big soccer video game match and actually managed to win in a shootout at the end of the game. Unfortunately, this victory built up his ego so much that he challenged Matt to a game of air hockey. After quickly going down 6 to nothing, he complained that his fingers were bruised and bloody (which by the way, anyone who has played Matt knows it is part of the game...) and walked away from the match.... another forfeit. I was all prepared to blog about his wonderful achievement in winning a game, but after he refused to play through the pain, I just don't feel I can do it. Sorry Josh!
