Girls' Camp!

I'm counseling at Twin Rocks this week- I'll be back for the Foundry BBQ on the 4th =) CU then!

What's happened to us?!

Why are we such COP-OUTS?!

By ERIC GORSKI The Associated Press

"(AP) — America remains a nation of believers, but a new survey finds most Americans don't feel their religion is the only way to eternal life — even if their faith tradition teaches otherwise.

The findings, revealed Monday in a survey of 35,000 adults, can either be taken as a positive sign of growing religious tolerance, or disturbing evidence that Americans dismiss or don't know fundamental teachings of their own faiths.

Among the more startling numbers in the survey, conducted last year by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life: 57 percent of evangelical church attenders said they believe many religions can lead to eternal life, in conflict with traditional evangelical teaching.

In all, 70 percent of Americans with a religious affiliation shared that view, and 68 percent said there is more than one true way to interpret the teachings of their own religion.

'The survey shows religion in America is, indeed, 3,000 miles wide and only three inches deep," said D. Michael Lindsay, a Rice University sociologist of religion.'"




As Scott from Air1 said: "I can only repeat what Jesus said, 'I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

It makes me think of the fact that we are in a postmodern era where 'everything is subjective,' and 'Truth is relative.' The general standing is that, "God is the Lord of all creation- for you that is." How does that make sense? It's just a cop-out, the way people can feel good about sinning and making the wrong choices.

CANCELLED

The Foundry BBQ has been postponed to next weekend due to several families being busy/out of town with father's day celebrations etc.

Youth gathering following the BBQ will continue when the date is set for the BBQ/church service.

Thanks!

Today, and Foundry youth =)

Attention all Foundry youth and those wanting to have some fun next week:

After the BBQ next Saturday the 14th, (6:00- free food :-] )
We are meeting regarding our coffee shop, mission ideas, and value statement. Come with ideas and bring a friend! We'll experiment with espresso drinks, italian sodas etc. and make goodies while planning for our group and hanging out :-) Leave a comment, call, or email to let me know if you need a ride to and/or from :-)

Today mom and dad are touring nursing homes for Grandma :/
I'm watching the kids :)
And I'm finishing my finals for spring term XP

Case has decided to make a 'eat or be eaten' youtube-worthy movie. He downloaded 63 pictures from flickr on his own and put up sets of dinosaurs and alligators to take pictures and videos of. He went through my music library and chose just the right song for the soundtrack. --- He's obsessing and oober detailed :-P haha. It's kind of scary how good he is with the moviemaker program and stuff with his level of reading! Dad just stood there shaking his head watching him last night :-)

I think Case wants to go to OMSI to get a few takes of the moving dinosaurs there to put in a scene, so I'll post it next week when it's finished =)
