I Have Decided …
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back, no turning back.
Though I may wonder, I still will follow;
Though I may wonder, I still will follow;
Though I may wonder, I still will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
The world behind me, the cross before me;
No turning back, no turning back.
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
Though none go with me, still I will follow;
No turning back, no turning back.
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
No turning back, no turning back.
Wondering What You Think of This Album Title …
I saw this album in Starbucks this evening and really liked the title. What do you think? What were you born to do? Should you have a “Plan B” in life?
Mike Yaconelli 1 of 5: Showing Kids You Love Them
Last week marked the nine year anniversary of the youth ministry godfather Mike Yaconelli. In honor of his legacy, for the next 5 days I’ll be posting videos of Mike sharing stories and insights as only Mike could.
Here’s #1:
Youth Worker Affected by Hurricane Needs Work
Please pray for my buddy Brian McGee and his young family. He lost almost everything to flooding during hurricane Sandy. If anyone knows of any possible employment opportunities for him, please contact me and I will put you in touch with him. He’s worked for Young Life for many years and is a great youth worker!

| Just to show you what kind of guy Brian is, this was the caption under the picture of his loss: But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider the m rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ–the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. (Philippians 3:7-9 NIV84)

We May Not Have Power, But We Got …
Today we attended Shelter Rock Church for the first time as a family. We went to the Manhasset campus, and thanks to a generator, we were able to have some sound for the worship team and speaker, and we were also able to enjoy fellowship with hot coffee and cocoa. The Syosset campus did not have power, but also met. In spite of the circumstances, both campuses had great turnouts. There was a real atmosphere of hope and encouragement. After church we mingled for quite some time, meeting lots of folks, then we went out for lunch as a family. On the way home we stopped by Carvel and picked up an ice cream cake for everyone at the home we are staying in and had this written on it:
Tomorrow is my first official day of work. It sounds like it will be an abbreviated one due to the storm and the lack of gas for people to get around and power, but I am excited to see everyone. School has been cancelled yet again tomorrow for the girls. Their first day was supposed to be last Monday, but school has been cancelled every day so far. They are itching to go, but we just have to be patient and wait for the infrastructure of the Island to be able to support their return. Gas lines still crazy!
