hmm.. watching the sun rise/set would be really cool.
reading the entire Bible would be nice too... although not only reading, but also thinking about it.
i like the idea of giving..
hahaha embarrass myself... been there, done that ;D
be thankful, i like that.
attend worship at a church/denomination other than yours... i guess i wonder why, but it is an interesting.. venture?
i like the drive-thru idea. a lot.
coffee sounds interesting too, with a stranger.
i really like the idea of a cause and getting really passionate and doing something.
hmm... what about also praying for the car behind you in the drive thru??

I was kinda thinking the same thing on the Bible reading - not necessarily reading to complete it but to better understand and think about it.

So what cause do you think you might find yourself getting passionate about and involved in?

You can pray for the car in the drive-thru as you pay for them!

Thanks pitcher12k for your comments!

ya, that is what matters more, in my opinion, quality over quantity.

well i already try, and i mean try, to take a stand for world hunger and the genocide in Darfur, but i really dont do a whole lot either.. websites can only go so far when you dont share them with others.

haha i shall! maybe we could do that one night after youth group.. or before..??

thanks Chris for your replies!
*cheesy smile with thumbs up*
but seriously. *thumbs down*

thumbs down! :-)

So, go beyond the web site - get passionate - get your hands dirty! I know you've got the drive to do it!
