Bowling for joy

Woo!
At homegroup last night we were chillin for a bit, playing cards etc. Then Kent was like "Lets go bowling."
So we did!

It was spontaneous good times. Until we figured out why he wanted to bowl with us so much -to prove he was the awesomest!
Flippin strike after strike, I tell ya!

But it was awesome. Probably the most fun bowling I've ever had. 2 games for $10 meant we could do a good one, and then a silly one (like class photos). We found a genius combination sport which was sort of a mix of Pong and bowling.
It was awesome when Lance hit all the pins except 2 and they were one pin apart so there was a little gap and I was like, "Bowl it through the gap- don't hit the pins! It'll be awesome!"
Then he did! It was genius.

Awesome sermon on Sunday. Really relevant to my brain. But I will download it and listen again because I STILL haven't learnt my lesson.

On a serious note, joey told us a few weeks ago about a friend of his who was going through some tough times, asking questions of life, being confused and insecure, not understanding her self or the meaning of life. Real existential sounding and depressive.
joey texted us last night saying she is now under suicide watch, so please please have her in your prayers. Ask for peace and understanding for her, ask for God's presence, people's empathy and sympathy, ask for joey to have strength and wisdom to be a light where he can. Thank God he is the power of our power.

I'm just reminded of something. It ius a great thing to pray for others. When you are feeling a little frustrated with self, perhaps unable to speak to God about your own problems cos you feel like he's heard too much or you're too inside your own head - praying for others gives you an opportunity to speak with God and to know you're not being self-absorbed. To just speak with Him and plead with Him and thank Him- not on your own account.
