Less aggressive you say . . .

Well I have done something I thought I would never do.  I have gotten in the face of danger and I didn't flinch.  Well, if you believe that spiders are dangerous.  I found some really interesting spiders around and I decided to snap some photos of them.  I have now come to realize that they are brown widow spiders.  Their venom is twice as potent as a black widow but they are less aggressive and only inject half the venom because they are more timid.  Now there is a laugh.  It still bites, doesn't it?  Anyway, a snapped a few shots and thought I would share with the class.

Mission: Staten Island

Howdy Y'all! We went to New York and we all survived.  By we I mean myself and 20 other people.  It was a Central Student Ministries mission trip with Piney Grove Baptist Church youth to Staten Island.  14 students and 7 adult leaders.  We were gone for 7 days.  We painted a school (Rocco Laurie - IS72) on Staten Island.  I think the totaled was 10 classrooms and 1 hallway.  But the end result was Crossroads Church will be able to meet there in the fall.  We also passed out bottles of water on the boardwalk with flyers and did door to door evangelism.  The students worked really hard. They deserve so much for all the work they did. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
