2012 BHAG

BHAG (Be Hag): BIG HARRY AUDACIOUS GOAL!! "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. ~Acts 1:7-8" What would your Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria be and then how to reach the world through it..... thus, a Big Harry Audacious Goal.

I have another BHAG and it is to raise funds in order to reach the lives of the kids in my community through Young Life.  However, I can't do that without help.  I have two major needs: one just operating cost, the weekly expenses needed to do club and contact work.  Heck, since I don't have a job for next year as of now maybe I can dream really BIG and raise enough for a part-time income too.  My second need is finances to help take local teens to camp.  Presently I have 4 middle schoolers signed up to go to WyldLife Camp and the cost for the trip, including all expenses, is $575 per student.  So, interested in helping to send a kiddo to camp?

What I do know is that your gift will not only help a teen have the BEST WEEK of Their LIFE, but the change in them can help Young Life impact the hall of our Middle and High School, then pour out into the streets of Buffalo (my Jerusalem), next flooding into the surrounding communities, to joining others in Wyoming (my Judea) to make a difference in our state.... Hey, and let's think BHAG moving across the United States (my Samaria) and reaching the ends of the earth!!!!

All you have to do is write a check out to “Young Life Buffalo” (if you want it to go in a camp fund, just put camp in the memo). Then mail the check to 349 High Street, Buffalo, Wyoming 82834. OR you can give online to WY35 by clicking here! (either helping with operating or camp scholarships)

Just a Kiss

Love this song by Lady Antebellum....

Lyin' here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
I'm caught up in this moment, caught up in your smile

I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this, let's just take it slow

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
No, I don't want to push too far

Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby, I'm alright with just a kiss goodnight

I know that if we give this a little time
It'll only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
It's never felt so real, no, it's never felt so right

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No, I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far

Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby, I'm alright with just a kiss goodnight

No, I don't want to say goodnight
I know it's time to leave
But you'll be in my dreams
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far

Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby, I'm alright

Oh, let's do this right with just a kiss goodnight
With a kiss goodnight, kiss goodnight
