Well it was a fairly uneventful Saturday...work in the morning, shopping for tomorrow's BBQ at the park, reading and hmmmm the casino....who me? Nah? The mask of Mike...such a complicated thing. I did not even do a Tim Horton's run... hmmm
Okay that book I have been reading has been a major challenge every page, let alone every chapter. I don't mind some challenges every now and then, but every day. I think the BBQ will be enough of a challenge just to stay dry, but that is an easy challenge compared to living the Christian life, at least most of the times.
Was thinking, the other day I mentioned about spiritual gifts...can I use them if I don't go to church...you would think.... right??? I am asking the churched people this question (that includes those who go to church in the parking lot - so don't try and get out of this one). What is the purpose of spiritual gifts? To edify the church ....right? To edify one another also?
Okay, just for you Amanda, here is a riddle of the week.
If I say "Everything I tell you is a lie," am I telling you the truth or a lie?
Bonus riddle.....
If your sock drawer has 6 black socks, 4 brown socks, 8 white socks, and 2 tan socks, how many socks would you have to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?

You can definitely still use your gifts if don't go to church. The people are the church - the building is just a building.
You would have to pull out 5 socks to make sure you have a pair.
A2
it doesn't say that there is ONE SINGLE PAIR of socks, just a bunch of socks, differently colors... so what is none of the 6 black socks match???
and WHO is the church? we are... so going to church doesn't mean you are usuing your gifts at all... gifts involve people.... so being in a small group is opportunity to use your gifts (I'll have cinnamon buns, Tim's coffee and back massage at camp this morning... thanks!!!).
Good answers re: the church the people. I am glad we can use our gifts even here in our "small group".
Yep that is the answer A2D2 for the sock quiz.
Mmmmm cinnamon buns and Tim's coffee. I had my massage last week. Could use one everyday after work. You know how it is when you are getting old and grown up!!!
OK... I didn't go to church this weekend.. so what do ya think.. did I use my gifts?? Did I serve? Did I minister to the church? Ya.. I think you can absolutely use your gifts and not be in church!!
I am sure that everyone appreciated your gifts and all the other volunteers at camp this weekend. Well done all.
Yeah there are times it is nice to be a "kid" again. I am sure tomorrow will be a great time for everyone. Wow are you bringing your car tomorrow. I can't wait to put my fingerprints all over it. The windshield, the bumper, the doors, :):):)
Wow 10.00 bucks to clean the truck. You could have done it here for 5.00 :):)~
Mike! I can't make it to the BBQ tomorrow! GOTTA WORK! :( Oh well, the life of a starter Realtor. Have fun you guys!!! I will be thinking of you!!!
That's too bad Mel. Hopefully there will be more get togethers. Have a great week.
