Minute To Win It

Don't know if you have seen the new tv "gameshow" Minute To Win It? It is hosted by Guy Fierti, and has contestant doing 60 second challenges per level to complete 10 levels to get 1,000,000 dollars. Sounds easy huh? The games range from taking a balloon blowing it up and using the air to knock over, off a table, plastic cups. Another game uses marbles to knock over a pencil. There is even a game that consists of 50 plastic cups (1 red and 49 blue ones). This one is played by moving the red cup in a full circuit, starting on bottom and ending up on bottom. In order to do so, one has to move the blue cups from the top, by grabbing them and placing them on the bottom, by alternating hands, while holding onto all the cups.

The reason I am mentioning this show is for all my fellow Children's Pastors out there to see. It gives some great ideas for games to use.

Olympic Training

Hello All,

I find it awesome, that God worked two different blog in two different ways. First off PG4Kids wrote on Gold Medal Finish which can be found here pg4kids.blogspot.com/. Dick Gruber didn't know that I was starting on a series dealing with Olympic Training (Lessons in Christian Living). God is awesome how he works things together. I am not amazed by it at all, after all he has been doing it for a long time.

God trained me up in Children's Ministry for a long time. He even lead me to a school where I learned even more. God was training me to be the Pastor/Person he wants me to be. Kind of like how Olympians train at a young age to be as good as they are in sports. Theirs is physical, mine was a spiritual training. I am thankful for the training I received.

Below are two verses I have read recently and have seen in my life:

Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."


1 Corinthians 9:24, "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize."


I will continue to run the race God has for me, just like the Olympians, and just like them I am looking forward to my prize.

2010: The Year of the New

January 2010 saw the beginning of a new decade, year and month. 2010 is a new year. Last month I wrote on having a Happy New Year. Right now, my post for this month, has to do with the current month we are in, February. This marked for me, a new chapter in my life. I just became a children's pastor in Pennsylvania, at a church up north in the borough of Clarks Summit, known as Clarks Green. This will be new for me. I don't know it maybe God, but I feel at peace, I feel like I am at home.

This aspect of my life reminds me of Moses. He was schooled, so to speak, in Egypt, then went back "home", and then came back to Egypt. Where as I was schooled in Pennsylvania, then went back home, and then came back to Pennsylvania. 

Here is to a new chapter in my life, and hoping for a new one in your life. God Bless.

Happy New Year



It is a new year. A new decade. A new month. A new day. It is a time for change. A change some make, for the good, others for the bad. Some make resolutions to be better people. some make resolutions to be healthier or to lose some weight. These are just a few examples of the resolutions we make every year. But some happen to fail in these resolutions. There is one "resolution" that I know I won't fail at. That is being a better Christian. I am going to try and be a better in my walk with God. I am hoping for the same to all of you Christians out there too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
