Kaleo Ministry

I lead Bible study this week. I think it went pretty well! There was a good turn out (the whole youth group and Kurt came), and we all had a good time, and learned something about God from the passage I think. Afterward we had pop and cookies and tea and other good stuff.
We had a "Guy's Night" at Jim's house. All the guys (except Jon, who was in Vancouver with his grandfather) hung out all night. We made steak dinners with apple pie and then when we had finished eating we went for coffee in Duncan. The coffee was great and Aaron and I had a game of chess that ended in draw due to time. When we got back the pie had cooled off enough to eat so we dug in. The rest of the night was spent watching Luther and talking and stuff.
Other than the guys night and the Bible study, not much happened this week. I should have spent it working on my Proverbs/Heart essay, but I spent most of my time reading one of the text books. Also, visiting with Lauren as she was working the retreat.
The retreat! I almost forgot, but this weekend was the lady's retreat. I was working for it, and my job was raking. I raked a lot. Then I swept, which is a similar, but more suburban chore. At least one funny thing happened to almost everyone involving the ladies. Aaron got flirted at by a few. I got off easy, they mentioned to me that they thought I was Israeli. Israeli! I was so proud.
At church this morning someone prayed some stuff that made me realize something. I realized another implication of the church as Jesus' body. I was constantly disappointed in myself for not measuring up to Jesus, and I knew that in all my life I never would measure up. I was frustrated because I know that no one could, and yet that is the goal of every Christian's life. We all want to be like Him. What I realized is that only as a congregation, as a body, will we be able to resemble Jesus. This takes my whole focus of somehow improving myself until I am as good as Jesus is, and refocuses it on the people around me. I have to improve my relationships with everyone else so that together we can look like Jesus. I should have already known this. I maybe already did, but I needed that prayer to realize that I was not living like it.
But yeah, I guess that is everything that has happened this week.
God Bless you!
