I can’t believe that the last thing I wrote in here was from May! I’ve been super duper busy lately. I’m still taking my classes at Kaplan which I should finish by March. I’m busy busy with church as usual. We’ve got goo gobs of Lectureship Orders to fill. Also, there’s a health fair coming up at the church on October 28, 2006 and I’m responsible for the publicity for that. There’s a blurb about the health fair on the website. Just click here: Church of Christ for more details.

Okay so on with the notes….
I didn’t catch the title of this sermon, so I’m just listing the scriptures and main points. Also, forgive my spelling.  I had no clue how to spell some of these words, so they’re on here phonetically.

6:00 PM

Col 2:6-8
The Christians at Colosse were dealing with many different doctrines.

synchronistic (Big O word for the day)

Paul highlighted the sufficiency of Christ

gnoctism-gnostic to know; claimed to have religious knowledge outside of Christ.  claimed to have access to special revelation that the rest of the church didn’t have access to.  Col 2:9 refutes this.
ascetics-touch not; handle not; deny natural affection of the body
judaism-bind Judaism on New Testament Worshippers
angel worship-worship of angels
They were trying to blend all of these together.
Christianity is a religion that doesn’t blend with anything.
2 Pet 2:1, 1 Cor 1:10, Acts 20, Eph. 1, Col. 1:18

conversion->conviction->contend

Many Christians are converted but not convicted so they don’t contend for the faith.

This is just a synopsis.  For the whole sermon, order a CD by going here:  West End Church of Christ

God is good! I got a job. I got the interview through my church network! I am so excited. I'll be starting Thursday. The name of the company is SBIK Insurance. That just goes to show you that you need to always be networking. That's a post for another blog…

Boomerang is doing a Captain Planet marathon! Oh my gosh! I am too excited. I love Captain Planet. I still know most of the song….

Captain Planet, He's our hero

Gonna take pollution down to zero…(that's all I remember).

Howdy folks. One of my friends mentioned that I haven't updated this blog in a loooong time. I checked it and she is absolutely right… Well let's just say that I have been a busy camper. I am taking classes online at Kaplan University right now. I'm pursuing an Associate's degree in Paralegal Studies. I should be finished with that by this time next year. So far I'm doing pretty good. I also went on and started my virtual assistant service. More information about that is available at www.deannaspencer.com
I've also been doing a lot of networking. I'm active on ryze, linkedin, and openbc. I'll post those profiles later. Okay I've got a newsletter to finish so I'll type with you guys later.

I just got this message today regarding an opportunity to volunteer in Atlanta, GA. Please pass this message along if you have friends in Altanta that want to help the Hurricane victims.

*********start of announcement*******
Atlanta City Refuge

Located downtown; when you reach the corner of Northside Drive and
Simpson Road (not far from Olympic park and the dome), turn onto Simpson and
go a mile or so. It looks like a school bus yard at this point.

IMMEDIATELY, they have an URGENT need for volunteers — hands on volunteers
for as many hours as you would like, 24/7
The center director said they especially LOVE youth group volunteers because
young people have so much energy and willingness to lend a hand. (please
spread this news to youth groups in your life)

Jobs they need done asap:

* Sorting clothing that is being donated to them
* Sorting other supplies people are dropping off
* Sorting items coming in by tractor trailers from outlying areas
* People to prepare food
* People to serve food in the food lines
* People to entertain the children — giving them something to do on
the premises

This afternoon the center is setting up 250 cots for this evening's
group who are over at the Grady Hospital for medical check-ups and showers.
Buses will be bringing them into the shelter very soon.

Items they need donated asap:

* WATER
* Juices for the children
* Brand new undies for infants, children, adults young and old.
* New or very gently used socks, pajamas, sweaters, t-shirts, shirts or
tops, pants, shorts, light jackets, large dresses, shoes, flip flops
* Toiletries (thank you everyone for taking toiletries to Corp Square
Bldg 10)
* Tooth brushes, tooth paste, combs, brushes, denture cleaner/denture
cups

They would also appreciate having

* Cards and games for children/adults to play — to help relieve the
stress
* Jump ropes for the children
* Adult and children's books, NIV and KJ Bibles, magazines, coloring
books/crayons
* Temporary jobs that the victims could do to earn money for their
families

I am volunteering with CARE International later on this year. I need to raise $275 before I can apply to go and I also need to raise the program fee. You can help out by checking out one of the items I am auctioning to raise money for this trip. The bidding starts at $4.99 with a buy it now price of $9.99

This would be a great item to auction on ebay or one of the other online auction places such as bidville.

Happy bidding.
