It’s time for all of you to vote on your favorite color T-shirt. The winner will go into immediate production and we’ll have the single most unique youth group t-shirts ever. Your three options are below and you can vote to the right.

Most of you have probably heard about this, but I want to post this article to get your opinions. A couple of questions come to mind, aside from the obvious ones. How does a Christian respond to Megan’s parents? How does a Christian respond to Lori Drew, the woman who created the fake boyfriend? Is this a case of Online Bullying? Without ever meeting or hearing this “boys” voice she was willing to commit suicide because he rejected her, how does someone get to that state of mind? Have any of you ever been in that kind of online relationship?

I also have to wonder if online interaction has replaced legitimate person to person interaction? Finally, what if this had been a real boy? Could you be like that fake boy? Are your words uplifting?

Some scripture I think might be appropriate.

Proverbs 24:11-12

Ephesians 4:29-30

1 Peter 3:10

What are you guys thankful for? I want to hear about the less than obvious stuff. I think if we’re saved it’s natural that we’d be thankful for grace and all the things that God gives us in accordance with His will. I want to hear about those two or three weird things that maybe only you are thankful for. I’ll start. . .

I am thankful for: Seat belts and butter. I defy anyone to say that life would be better without either one. Now you tell the world what you’re thankful for! Just leave a comment.

Check out this video and tell me if you think this is a perfect depiction of Christ. If you think it is, what do you like about it? If you don’t, what do you think is missing? I’m interested in hearing what you think. Please take the jump to view the video.
