No Pictures and the greatest two questions ever asked
Well I forgot my camera to the multiple youth events this past week. Which truly is amazing since one of the events took place at my house. For you girls who did take pictures, send them to me :)
Anyways it was another wonderful youth week highlighted by: Tim almost having his face blown off....alot of fireworks....candy....poutine.....Jon moving back to Aus therefore giving us an excuse to party.
Since there are no pictures to comment on, I'll get serious. I am currently reading 'Amazing Faith' - the biography of Bill Bright. During which he hilighted the two greatest questions a person can ever ask themselves. It comes from Acts 9:3-6 and is Paul's (Saul) conversion(you'll have to read in the KJV or NKJV cuz the other translations really drop the ball on this one)
3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”
Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”
When comfronted with Jesus, Paul asked the two questions that we have to ask Him today: Who are You, Lord? and Lord, what do You want me to do?
I don't want to leave these questions dangling rhetorically, after you read this stop, pray and ask God these questions.

Ok here's the deal. If you read this, and at Youth Group tonight come up to me in front of everyone and say "Steve I am always inspired, encouraged and humoured everytime I read the blogs at www.parkrestyouth.blogspot.com, everyone should go there!" I will personally shake your hand, pat you on the back, give you a bandana (might be coming next week) and a chocolate bar.
