Good to be back.

It was finally Sunday!!  All the anticipation was over.  It felt like I had been waiting for something as if it were as exciting as Christmas morning approaching a 5-year-old.  It was so good to be back at The Naz.  I had missed it so much, felt like months had gone by.  Never in my life have I been excited about a church, but now..... one of the highlights of the week.  A new series started this week and it is truly a great series.  Jan leads an amazing worship team that captures a great worship atmosphere.  Kurt provides a college experience called "Jesus time at 9...er 9:30...or whenever you make it?"  The group is challenged in ways unimaginable week to week.  Dennis..... Just brings it straight.  It's brutal and real but so good.  For sermons and podcast from Sundays, go to the naz link and the new site, once up, will have them available.  If you prefer to view quick quotes, also known as Dennisisms, go to Kurt's blog page.  Today was a busy day.  Bed time.  Ill post more about today tomorrow.

Soothing Saturday

Ok, so not really soothing.  But relaxed.  Gonna go get some Taco Bell with a few of the youth and just hang out and talk.  I'm in One62 (that's a plug.  great place.) just read my Bible and had a nice quiet time.  Kurt (check out his sweet blog posted on my page) told me about a site called YouVersion.com that provides a full read-thru of the Bible.  The year plan gives three different sections to read every day.  It jumps around so it's not just a straight read.  Very interesting and helps link things together.
Yesterday Kurt and I were talkin about reading the Bible and writing down all the questions asked by Jesus.   He knows the answers...why ask us?  
This Kurt guy is on to something..... Got the book It by Craig Groeschel and it is amazing.  I feel like just bein with Kurt is an experience.  Not because of his interesting smell, his offensive remarks that make me cry, or his momentous good looks... (all of which are jokes but the last one.)  Kurt is on fire.  I see it and love it.  

So now that I rambled on and on and had no real topic...I am going to relax with the friends.... take care all. Much Love.

Reading......?

So it's January second.  
I don't know what to say....
My yearly reading of the Bible is done and I feel like a dog who has caught the car....What do I do now?  By no means am I saying that I read the Bible and now I'm all knowing, I am not sure whether to read the Bible through again or find a good devotional.  I don't really know what to do.  If you have a good devotional, let me know.  
Until then I shall read through the Genesis this week.

Genesis:

*Wow
-The men in Genesis were soooo old. I would not want to be alive on this earth that long.
*Noah


Not a lot to write about today, I read about the lineage and how old the men of Genesis were.  But I am surprised at why they would have lived so much longer.  I have heard people talk about how the aging has changed but I don't remember it.  Please inform me.  Email me @   tylerschnelli@gmail.com.    thank you.
Noah..... woah, building a football stadium with my bare hands and only having ancient tools?  uh........NO!  Why would someone ever do that?  I think that his devotion to God must have been so strong to endure the criticism, the hate, the tiredness, and the scale for the seemingly ridiculous project.  Definitely a man to study and live by  Have a wonderful day all.  Thanks for reading.

New Years!!

So I drove all day yesterday from Oregon back to California where my work began again.  I arrived home and went straight to Axiom for a hectic shift.  Upon finishing my shift I went with Mike Northcutt to his house for dinner.   It was so good.  
Following dinner was the New Years Eve party!!!!!
We all went to the Libby's house and played games and had dance parties.  Super fun party.  When the new year hit, I found myself popping one of those little had cannon poppers and being engulfed in silly string. Such a crazy fun night.
New Years Resolution:
My resolution this year other than the obvious workin out and watchin my figure, will be to write something everyday.  That doesnt mean i will blog everyday, but I will have written something for those days.  I will also read my Bible every day and my reading will be part of what I write.  Have a wonderful day guys.  Happy New Years!!
