Grace and Dodgeball

Youth team! Go Orange Crush! 

Today, we talked about grace at church, and to me its one of the most amazing things in the world. We defined grace as: "getting what we don't deserve." Crazy isn't it? Christ gives us so many things we don't deserve. He gives us unconditional love, he gives us all the things we have, and he gives us freedom from sin. We really don't deserve any of that due to the fact that we are sinners, but Christ sent his son for us so that we can live eternally with him. Do we deserve that? In my mind, we don't, but he gives it to us anyway. It's just so amazing!

Youth leaders team!

Now every year my church puts on this thing called Dodge For Dinner, and we all donate money/food so that we can feed the less fortunate, and then we play dodgeball (I put it as 1 word, but I think it can be 2). This was our 2nd Annual Dodge For Dinner tournament, and this year the youth group had 2 teams! Unfortunately both our teams lost, but that gave us an excuse to play more dodgeball so that we could get better, plus we had a blast and made some pretty awesome shirts "You can dodge a ball, but you can't dodge Jesus!" So blessed to have so many amazing people, and so many amazing opportunities!
