We only have 2 weeks left in this series. This week we will be a Q&A session in small groups. We had a good weekend!!

RISK (part 3)

Here is a mind-boggling collection of risk:

• Alcohol is implication in 44% of all accidental death
• The risk that a bridge, during its lifetime will collapse is one in a million. The lifetime risk that you will be on a collapsing bridge is 1 in 4million.
• You are 400% more likely to die falling than from something falling on you.
• 1 in 5000 people die from billiards yearly
• Every year 8000 are injured by a musical instrument.
  

Everything that you do is a risk.
Faith, by definition is a risk.

RISK (part 2)

I think about risk everyday. I understand that risk is kinda a big deal and what I have started to understand is there are a few questions that need to be asked about risk. Ben calls it the Best/Worst Analysis formula:

• What is the best thing that can happen if I do this?
• What is the worst thing that can happen if I do this?
• What is the best thing that can happen if I don't do this?
• What is the worst thing that can happen if I don't do this?

I know you are thinking that is a alot of work as you are shaking your head. You should try it out and who know that could help you.

RISK

I just finished reading a "Take the risk" by Ben Carson. I enjoyed it a lot! I learned that basically everything that you do in life requires some sort of risk. I mean everything from getting ready in the morning to having a cookout all have some risk! In our generation, we have insulate for safety. Here are a few random things that you would never guess are risky:

• Your risk of being injuired by a malfunctioning TV this is 1 in 7000
• 28000 people are treated at trauma centers every year for handling or swallowing cash?
• your chances of being seriously injured by Christmas decorations are 1 in 65000

It makes you wonder does this come. I guess my point is that you can't avoid risk because its everywhere. By avoiding risk, are you also avoiding the full potential of your life?

This is something to think about....

Its the recap!!

We have a good Sunday Morning service. Its crazy but it seems that Middle Schoolers
want to hear about sex. This Sunday we talked about the truth about sex and a few lies about sex.

Attendance was above average!
Volunteers was average!
Message was average!
Fun Factor was average

This was my first sex talk ever. I have always been a little scared to talk about the subject. It turned out to be good and a number of parents came in and listened to the talk. What a great partnership with parents!

starting a sex series!!

We are starting a 4 week series this week. This week we are talking about what God says about sex and what the bible says about sex.
