Proof that God is All Powerful

This weekend was Apprentice Weekend with the youth group at our church. When we signed up to help, we were unaware that this was an all-youth event, not just the senior high students we know and love. So John needs to be tied naked to the top of an ant hill and covered in molten-hot honey. i ended up with a group of 3 senior and 2 junior high girls. One junior high student seriously had me standing on the railing of our balcony whispering "Goodbye cruel world." So this is how i know that God is all powerful: there are people in this world who absolutely love junior high students and make a career out of spending hours and hours and hours with them. i can't stand them.

Anyway, the point of the activity was to take a combined $50 ($10 each) and multiply it somehow. We worked on a bare budget, cleaning windows for the elderly and using our own paper towels and Windex. We scored a surprising amount of cash this way, by charging $2/per window, inside and out, and $4/per sliding door. We also featured Goldfish Racing, which ended up getting us the Most Creative prize and a limo ride for our team. Goldfish Racing involves buying two vinyl rain gutters, capping the ends, filling them with water, and 'pushing' the fish along by blowing through a straw behind it. First fish to the opposite end of the gutter wins! We were able to return the gutters at the end of the day and thus spend only 50 cents on the fish! It only got us $8, but that's ok. And none of the fish died so i gave them to one of Jim Manker's kids when Jim wasn't looking. :P In the end, we made $225 dollars and each girl got $45 to put toward Winter Camp, which costs about $150, so not bad at all. Plus we got kicked out of WalMart, which didn't bother me in the least because you KNOW it wasn't my idea to set up there.
