Game of the week

here is a link to the game of the week from the 9th graders.

"A Better Way" by Downhere

From the album Wide Eyed and Mystified

I'm not alone, I really believe
You never go, You never leave
Here and now, You always stay
“I love you” could not be said a better way

It's everything You've promised
There's no greater love than this
From prophets until today
A man laying down His life for His friends
Your sacrifice has spoken, You gave everything
And “I love you” could not be said
A better way

I am forgiven, I clearly see
It's why You came to do all you did for me
Trading earth with heaven, You took my place
“I love you” could not be said
A better way

Because You redeem, I know what's to come
Everything I could lose here, You've already won
So You have my surrender, with passion obey
“I love you” could not be said
A better way

It's so true when you think about it. There truly is not a better way to say i love you than laying down your life for someone else. In the case of this song they talk about how Jesus laid down His life for us to simply say "I love you."

crying for money...

i thought this link was quite interesting. As the "big 3" auto makers fly to DC to plead for money they decide to take private flights that cost and arm and a leg.
