The Path to the Cross

This week my church is putting on The Path to the Cross! Wed-Fri 5:30-8:30pm




"The Path to the Cross is an interactive Easter drama depicting Jesus' life as He journeyed through Jerusalem in His final days. "The Path to the Cross gives us an opportunity to share the Easter Story with hundreds of people," said Pastor Ed Hogan. Scenes included are Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the garden of Gethsemane, Herod's trial, and the crucifixion. We hope the Houston community will experience the fourth annual Path to the Cross as an effort to reach across faiths in the worship of Christ."

I get to act in the garden/trial/peter's denial scene. I'll be accusing Peter of being a disciple and after he denies it 3 times, the rooster crows. Here's my lines:

"Are you one of the disciples?"

"Are you sure you are not one of the disciples? Your Galilean accent betrays you!"

"I know you are. I saw you in the garden with Jesus!"

cock-a-doodle-dooooo

Coffee Break Spanish

In my post on Grathias below, I was listening to Coffee Break Spanish when I immediately had to turn it off because of their pronunciation of Gracias. But as I was reading up on other people's blogs, those who were learning Spanish recommended Coffee Break Spanish so I decided to give it a try again. And I've actually enjoyed it. Today, I laughed while I was learning spanish. :)

The lessons are set up like a tutoring session between Mark and Kara so I just speak with Kara and learn along with her. The good thing is, Kara isn't great at Spanish so I dont feel dumb when I cant say things correctly right away. Plus they are very laid-back and fun. I mean I laughed while I was learning spanish!! Usually, I'm stressed. I laughed at the part of trying to say the letter "v" because it's like a mix of "v" and "b", which is hard to do if you aren't used to it. Kara laughed too so it was a good time. :P So far so good... as long as I remember when they say words like Grathias and Barthelona, I need to put a "c" in, instead of "th". You can download their podcasts off itunes for free.

Disciple Now

This weekend, my roommates (Meagan and Ashley aka Hubs) are having a group of 11th grade girls over to our house for Disciple Now. Disciple Now is through my church and is a weekend for students to get out of their normal environment and study the Bible. We have college students come in and lead and each group is assigned to a house. Our house is 10X cooler than any other house because it's our house... there are no adults! I can't wait to see how the girls are gonna react when they realize that they aren't going to a family house... but a "single ladies" house. :P Plus the 3 of us are leading! So much fun!


The theme is "You Are" so girls are going to be You are Beautiful and guys are You are Warriors. We will be talking about how our beauty is not what we see on the outside like what the world tells us, rather what is on the inside that shines through. Because God is beautiful, we created in his image are also beautiful. With all the pressures on young girls these days, I pray that they can enjoy being daughters of the King and feel loved and cherished and beautiful!
