The slopes called. And we answered. The voice on the other line said, "Ski your heart out. No matter what." And, we did. We pulled out of Oak Ridge too early to imagine on Monday morning, February 4 and made the trek through the hills of tennessee into North Carolina. Sounds of sleep and snoring were the only sounds that the group made till about 8am. We pulled into the parking lot at Beech Mountain and quickly got our equipment and gear ready for a day on the slopes. The temperature was wild. A blustery, sunny 48. Which isn't all that bad when the slopes are thick with snow. We had an amazing morning learning and getting our feet used to having two large peices of wood on them. Life was grand. People were careening over hills and jumps that were at first glance impossible. Groups hopped onto ski lifts and rode the mountain for all it was worth. Some stopped in for a quick lunch or a game of table football while others ignored teh human urge to eat. Then at around 2pm the party got even better. Rain moved in, and we had an afternoon full of playing and skiing and laughing in the rain. The rain definately didn't stop us. We filled our day with as much skiing as we could--dry or soaked. We ended the day wet through and through. Our change of clothes were definately used, and we all piled back into the vans for the ride home. 3 hours and a Wendy's meal later, we were snug in Oak Ridge...completely ready for a good night's rest. The slopes called. And we always love it when they call.

LEAVE TACKY, LIVE TACKY. It was January, the last of our decorations were put away. No more tinsel. No more garland. No more presents. Or so we thought. Who says you can't have a Christmas party in January? Everyone! CrossTraining boldly went where noone dared go before. Tackiness. The party started at around 6pm and everyone started arriving donned in all manner of ornaments, crazy hairstyles, holiday sweaters, Christmas capes, and three peice suits. It was a beautiful thing. We played some wii, we swept some stockings and we even got in the spirit of giving...tacky style! No small animals were harmed, except maybe a large yellow duck. The Tackiest Christmas party ever just may have been the best Christmas party ever.

Whos R Speaker?
RON DEGARDE - Charlotte, NC

We live in a desperate day with desperate needs. There are more challenges and pitfalls facing you today than ever. Satan is using his fiery darts with a great degree of accuracy and effectiveness. How can you live for God in such a wicked day? The Bible's admonition for you to remember the Creator in the days of you youth is needed more than ever (Ecc. 12:1)! Young people can live for God! God has not left us to our own wisdom and strength to navigate through life's journey but has thoroughly equipped us for every good work. God's Word has every answer for all of our decisions and problems. Only the light of God's Word can guide, convict and quicken us on our way to victory. "Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies" (Ps. 60:12).

MONEY STUFF
Friday night, eat before you come and hop on the vans...we're headed to the farm! For just $15 you get a whole trip full of fun. Breakfast, a day of crazy games, activities, and a delicious meal served up at lunch. Bring money for a fast-food meal on the way home.

Some will be on church facilities duty while others will be distributed about as a roving encouragement/landscaping crew fulfilling tasks for some individuals in the church with needs. Once the work is done we will meet back up for a cookout and some serious soccer before calling it a day. Plan to join us for a satisfying day of fellowship and service!
