~ Lift Off for Life ~ February 2003 ~ page 2

Lots of "silly songs" like the Jazzy Zoo to get the metabolism moving!
 

 

 

 Metabolism needs a jump start with the fixin's these ladies prepared! :)

 

 And that's why we need Pam on these trips!

Gaye says the God will always send people across your path, people who are saying "Come on up!". But we are afraid... afraid of what others will say, do, or think. And then we stifle that urge to lift off.

Trust the skies, trust your wings. Trust God and reach higher.

~ sing along ~" I'm pressing on the upward way, new heights I'm gaining every day..."

Always good for laughs with a spiritual message, Susie and Carroll describe how the Survivor game works!

 

 

Did you ever go to the beach? And notice how quickly you can drift down? Before you realize it, you are way farther than you wanted to be or than you thought you could get!

You say, "How did we drift so far?"

And the same is true of our lives here. It is so important that we re-evaluate where we are! We have been told of the godly beginnings of the great universities such as Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. All of these had godly founders and godly statutes. Of course, this is also true of our country's beginnings. Look at where we are today. Have we drifted? It's time to evalute our lives... our homes... our churches. It is not a limbo dance, seeing how 'low' can we go. Our standards today are dangerously low... we don't want to offend anybody, we don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable - we are no longer shocked at sin. How much sin is is okay? Well Gaye told about a little girl who was going around <licking salt shakers> at a restaurant. Do you want to salt your food now? It was only a "little bit" of spit. How much spit does it take to contaminate? How do you think God feels about having a "little bit" of sin in your life?

We over-analyze sin. Jesus has called us to come out of sin. There is no sin in temptation, but the moment you act on that temptation, it is a sin, and you are deceived. One day, you and I will be accountable for everything that we have done. God will call sin <sin>. The scriptures say that sin is pleasure for a season... but remember this, the enemy wants you. He will set you up and deceive you at every opportunity. Be strong in the Lord.

 

We have a large amount of free time on Saturday afternoons. This time can be spent hiking, reading, napping... anything that you wish to do. These ladies spent 45 minutes stretching to praise music, strengthens the body while lifting the soul.
