Because some of the teens are in Tennessee and don’t have internet access, I am going to push back the giveaway and the contest to next Wednesday as the deadline.  Plus I am making the giveaway a lot more.  Instead of $5 dollars gift certificate to a fast food restaurant I will do $10 dollars only if there is 10 different people commented on the student devotional for the giveaway!!!

They just added those new express lanes!!! Man is that express way a headache now!! If you thought it was crazy before its about to get even crazier!!  Here are some tips for those that will be driving North bound on I-95 from downtown Miami.  Don’t get trapped like me.  These tips are from the Miami Herald.  Just thought I share them with ya!!!

The folks at the Florida Department of Transportation, who brought you last Friday’s accident-marred chaos on northbound Interstate 95, offer these tips on adjusting to new express lanes.

If you want to exit the interstate anywhere between downtown Miami and the Golden Glades, DO NOT enter the express lanes. You cannot break out or cut through the lane markers.

If you inadvertently enter the lanes, DO remain calm. Go to the Golden Glades and head back.

DO NOT weave in and out of the plastic candlestick lane dividers. It’s illegal. And it could subject you to fines starting at $100.

If you get confused, DO NOT stop.

DO heed new signage and speed limits. Many have changed.

After 423 Miles we have made it to our destination. Half way there to Tennessee!!! The motel is very nice, we are staying in the newly renovated section of the motel (in the video you can see the tour)!! The kids like their rooms. We will be heading to dinner in a bit, but before we do, the girls (yes parents - only the girls) get to have fun in the pool. The guys are a little jealous and upset but they get to go later on tonight. Here is a quick video!!!

This past Wednesday we titled it “Up-close and Personal with Mr. E”. Mr. E is our local celebrity rapper!! Him and his wife go around sharing the good news of Christ to teens and adults all over the country. As a matter of fact Mr. E is hitting up Colombia and doing a 2 week tour out there!! So we changed it up this past Wednesday. Instead of your regular 30 minute sermon from the stage, we interviewed Mr. E, kind of how they do it on MTV and BET. Mr. E had a great idea of setting up studio chairs on stage, and I would interview him and in between he would rap a couple of songs. The last 10 minutes he preached his sermon, and it was amazing. 4 kids gave their life to Christ that night and of those 4 teens, for 3 of them it was the first time in youth group!! Truly amazing. We had 134 teens and young adults in the building, to check out “Mr. E up-close and personal”. Here is a little video of what went down this past Wednesday.
