God is in control, not you, me or Tim the Mad Scientist!

What is our purpose in life?

To know, love and serve God and to ultimately be with Him in heaven.

How do we do that best?

We have to turn away from selfish things and put our faith and trust in God. Stop trying to control every facet of our lives living for ourselves and instead turn over that control to God and live our lives for Him.

It's crazy to think about how our world is justifying so much murder. We're taking lives because they are inconvienent, too costly, or unwanted. A life is too valuable to be taken so lightly. We're not animals, we're human beings and each person is required to treat everyone else as such. It goes hand in hand with attempting to control that which God should be the only one in control of. Not only that how we treat others is a fundamental part of our faith, we are commanded by Jesus to "Love one another even as I have loved you."

That's what our lifenite was about this past Sunday. Many thanks go to everyone in the skit, our wonderful YM (youth minister), Cassi, and for all the PM's (peer ministers) who helped plan and put on the night.

Go forth and serve!

PS. This upcoming Friday is the sacrament of Confirmation for many of our youth group so please keep all of them in your prayers throughout the week. Feel free to come if you can and meet our new Archbishop Wilton Gregory. Starts at 7:30pm.

God Bless!!!
