Here is a great verse that spoke to me today:
“If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.“
Ecclesiastes 11:4 (LB)

Random Thoughts: The Religion of Evolution
Have you ever witnessed a monkey turn into a human? Have you ever witnessed an Ape having a human baby? What then make Evolution different than Creation? You either have faith that you evolved from an animal or you have faith that you were created by an all loving, powerful, creator. Either way, you operate using blind faith. Evolution has been dis-proven more times than Glynn Wolfe was married, yet people still follow it.
People will not embrace Christianity because they did not see God create them, yet they will embrace evolution even though they did not see themselves evolve from an animal. In fact have we discovered anything that has evolved into a new and totally different species? Evolution is merely another religion supported and created by scientist.
PDYM 2.0
The PDYM Community Website is now blog based. The staff at PDYM has given those of us who are state mentors the face of the franchise…Literally! We have all been made contributors to the blog, and the articles have increased tremendously! I love it. There is some really good stuff out there. Go check it out! I’ve got a few things out there…just search for Nick Carnes on the blog and you’ll find me. The old site is still up, but I believe they are moving towards fazing it out.

Community Group Fun
Last night our church had Group Link to help get new people plugged into a Community Group.Up to this point there has only been 3 groups available, but last night that increased to 11. I took a picture of some of the things my group was offering to get people to sign up and join our group.
“50% off Registration”
“$100,000 in Monopoly Money since they use a credit card now”
“Bingo Night every 3rd Sunday”
“The Carnes Group, where God is and where you should be!”
“Free Collectible Jesus Action Figure and Bobble Heads”
“Smiling Faces and lessons on picking your friends nose”
It was tons of fun!!!
Sunday School Attendance Board
I am cleaning off my cell phone and came across some pictures that I took with the intent of posting them on here. Here is something I have not seen in years, a Sunday School Attendance Board, this was hung at the church where my sister got hitched to her now husband. They got married in Matt’s (her husband’s) church. Matt was in town with Jamela the week before this was taken, which means he is the reason the attendance was down to 97 the week prior. Shame, Shame, Shame…you shouldn’t be missing Sunday School.
