After a great day of 4wheeling on Saturday, the Lighthouse folks arrived bright and early Sunday morning for worship. We had a great Sunday School class.
Then Jessie's anointed song Mighty to Save complimented Pastor's message about worship and a grateful heart. She preached from Luke 7:37 about the woman who worshipped with a heart of gratitude, much forgiven, much grateful.
How our worship is a reflection of our hearts.
Ron's evening message was from Acts 3:1-10. About Peter and John being used by the Lord to heal the lame man. He encouraged us to not only have our testimony ready, but to be baptized in the Holy Spirit so our testimonies have power! That the Holy Ghost is an on board generator, ready with the power to do the things the Father calls us to do.
So today we need to check our hearts and spirits. Make sure we're ready to be His hands and feet by having a heart of worship and a spirit of fire!
The volleyball game was CRAZY! The first game went on forever! We battled it back and forth until the score climbed to 19-21! Youth barely winning. By the way our names have been changed. Transfer Company is the youth, TC, and Sunday Night Light is the adults, SNL.
We continued to battle through the second game, our newbies relaxing and pouring it on. TC had Haley and Kyli together and they were serving up FLYBALL!!! Smidgett was doing some kind of hoochie koochie dance every time he served, taking his sweet time. Finally the Ref (Ron) started giving him a time limit to serve or they forfeited that point. We had a young man named Sloan who joined in on the second game, he was only ten but boy howdy could he play!
Roger bounced one off Daryn's face to score and Trenton could not stay off the ground.
Nikki and Tina were there too, Nikki plays like she's getting paid per point, ha! She's our player of the night. She went down I don't know how many times. Stopping and returning the ball so boldly we all stood open mouthed. She and Taylor wrestled one play, each trying to spike. Judy was our on fire player, she hit that ball like it was the devil himself!
Second game won by TC 15-13. They brought the score from 2 all the way to win it. Sloan was their secret weapon. Next time he can come play our side!
By the third we were stomping them! Tray crashed and burned after Zechariah stopped the ball before it got to him, if we had videoed it, would have won big money on AFV. Corbie caught and saved an almost foul with her toe! I stood amazed.
SNL finally won the last one 15-6. Next time watch out kids, Pastor will be playing!

The Lighthouse Volley Blog
Hey guys!
Doing it big time now! Just like Ron said last night in his message, going deeper. I know he was talking about our walk (or swim) with Jesus but it also pertains to our daily lives. And like Pastor preached, our daily lives shouldn't be something compartmentalized apart from our walk with the Lord. You see, there should not be two different ways of living for the Christian. The person who greets the visitors with their Sunday smile, teaches the little ones with their Sunday love, or leads the worship with their Sunday best should be the same person on Monday! We should treat the cashier, the child wanting attention, or the cranky customer with the same love, smile, and best. Being Jesus to the world, growing stronger and deeper in Him instead of acting like the world. Would there be enough evidence to "convict" you of being a Christian? You have to ask yourself that. Ponder it. Be honest with yourself, then ask the Lord what He thinks.
Ok, now for the volley ball results.
All I can say is WOW!!! We are still playing the youth against the adult. We have been searching for names, they kept calling us old people, talking smack to their elders. Well Wrinkles came up last night. None of us were fond of it...until we thought of one for them, Pimples! Ha!
So now the blogs will be about the Wrinkles and the Pimples.
We had seven newbies. Karen, Joanna, Judy, Randy, Jamie, James, and Kyli. At first they were kind of hesitant, we play extreme volleyball with a big ball and slightly different rules. Then they started warming up! I was impressed! The ladies on the Wrinkles team powered up and started slamming that ball across. Kyli (all of what 10?) was serving like no body's business! We were hard pressed to keep up our lead over the Pimples. First game was very close at W-15, P-13.
Second game we were almost skunked at P-15, W-2!, Third (this is the one where the newbies got their land legs and came on strong), P-16, W-14. We made them earn every point.
The player(s) of the week were Randy and Roger. Randy took one for the team more than once! And when he had warmed up, it was on! Roger just had knee surgery last Tuesday but showed up to play anyway. And play he did! Spiking even with a crippled knee. We all tried to stay close to help him but yours truly actually slammed into him...twice. Sorry Rog.
Corbie almost got a spike which is hard being short, she was on fire!
The Pimples played very well, am thinking it has to do with Tray being on their side since he's the Youth Leader. We miss you ginko man.
We had Linda and Leroy as spectators, they encouraged us with lots of smiles (and laughter!) Nicole joined them with little Lacey after her swim.
Anyway, Congratulations to the Pimples! Despite all the ground time (Trenton) you guys whupped us good!
Afterward we had homemade ice cream! Ummm good!
