SWAK!!

This lovely photo is to let you know we are having a . . . . DRUMROLL PLEASE . . . duh duh DUH!!!  A LIPSTICK EXCHANGE!!!!  Our fearless, mouthy leader decided that SHE needed to work on what comes out of her mouth and that if SHE needed to then maybe the rest of us do too - whatever!  Bible study is going to be a whole lot less fun with all of us watching every word that comes out of our mouths, ugh.  Why don't we all just stay at home?  I mean COME ON!!!  Just kidding.  I know I could definitely use some help in this area, kind of using the whole Thumper theory, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."  So, anyway, NEXT Tuesday, Sept. 22 we will be having a LIPSTICK EXCHANGE.  Here's what you do:

BRING:  Your Favorite INEXPENSIVE tube of lipstick or gloss ($5 or less)

HOW:  We Will Play Like Dirty Santa - So Wrap Your Special Gift With No Name On It.  We'll draw numbers and then go at it like a rat on a cheetoh.

OH!  And one more thing (totally unrelated to our lipstick goodness)!  We need to VOTE on how we want to do dinners on Tuesdays.  It's really important, so don't forget!

God Sees EVERYTHING

Not to scare anyone, but you can't hide your sin from God.  Just not sure if we all knew that.  I'm not sure David realized it or just thought that since he was special he wouldn't be punished very harshly (he was, four times over including the death of a child because of his sin).  The Bible says in Romans 3:23 that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  The good thing . . . no, GREAT thing  . . . is that we can ask for forgiveness and we are forgiven by His grace, by His love, and mercy.  We can lay it at the cross and it will be as far away as the East is from the West, and He will trade our ashes in for beauty using it for HIS glory.  God is so good.

So, tonight we were talking about how God sees EVERYTHING.  And Trena kept saying that "He sees EVERYTHING!"  And the way she was saying it reminded a few of us of the scene in Toy Story where Woody and the toys that Sid had mutilated were getting revenge on him.  Here is the clip:
