JOE's NOTE: -
As youth leaders we tend to sacrifice everything we have, time, money, personal strengths, and personal lives just to reach out to the youth of today. When all our efforts return to us void, there is always a certain amount of discouragement that visits our minds. However, we would like to encourage you with 1 Cor. 3:6 that says that we may be the ones planting the seeds but it is God who makes it grow. Discouragement can be a humbling experience if we allow it to make us realize that we are only human and any changes in lives will only come from the perfection that is Jesus Christ. So the next time you feel a little or a lot discouraged just look up and thank Him for allowing us to be the ones that plant the seeds and give him room to make them grow! Staying N-Touch...
Joe Garay, YNT Director

Movie Review
|
 Brad Pitt's movie, Inglourious B*sterds is a movie that you'll either love or hate. There's really no reaction in between, and that's probably exactly what [Quentin] Tarantino intended because pushing people's buttons is his fort?. Unfortunately, he does it with such a garish sense of style that it's often difficult to remember if there was anything redemptive about the experience. Read the Christian review brought to you by Crosswalk.com at our Movie Review page.
