This is a really lame edition of the News, because, frankly… There is no news. Actually, that itself is news…the Guild has been pretty slow as of late. So, consider this a formal challenge from me to get the board hopping again! Come on guys, there is always something we can talk about! ---- ---- ---- --- --- You may find these cool. Since it’s a slow news week, allow me to post a few things for your general entertainment, and a few to get you thinking. smile Leeland gets nominated for a Grammy! Go to the boys’ myspace page Leelandand watch the incredible video of them all finding out about it—it’s so adorably funny. The video is the first thing in their "About Me" section. Stephen Colbert (a comedic GENIUS) doing The Word segment from his Report the day after the Democrats take the house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S9qVXlDaE4The Holiday Hawk! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d0rQnVIOvAThis video is amazing! Set to David Crowder’s O Praise Him, it’s a beautiful commentary about how we should worship in our entire lives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpVsF4W8V2YThe One Campaign http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-bGX0AVMaESupport the One Campaign. The WebsiteOur voices are so powerful. Also check out invisiblechildren.com and watch the amazing videos…I’m going to do this, or someothing like this, with a group of students from my town. Check it. They have great videos, photos and event ideas. It’s pretty great. http://www.invisiblechildren.comA funny clip from The Office. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulU7A0bboKQ&mode=related&search=yeah…that’s it today, guys. Enjoy the funny stuff. (and find a bunch of it to send me for next time!)

Recent Additions This section is to update everyone on the newest of members...those who have most recently given us an introduction. Okay, since it’s been so long, there are tons and tons of these this time…. sweatdrop
Welcome Kar23!
Kar23 I haven't been here for at least a year, but I am back now. I had like an hiatas from the i-net. Anyway. I am Karrie, most people call me Kar. I'm 25 years old and have been a christian for most of my life and was baptized when I was 10 years old. I'm currently a PK and would love to interact with more fellow believers. God bless heart
Official Guildy welcome to Silent Kiwi!
Silent-Kiwi Online I go by Kiwi, I'm a froshie in high school or so I've been told. I want to be a good Catholic (I know this isn't purely a Catholic guild, just for the record) but for some reason I'm not a good enough person to make myself be one. rolleyes sweatdrop Anyway I hope to make some good-influence friends here. I like AFI and roleplay. And I don't know why I'm bothering... but maybe one of the reasons I don't want to like God that much is cause he has let some bad things happen to my family. And since I'm wasting space already I'm going to say them here. I know others have had it worse. A few have had it better. My dad's sister commited suicide a few years ago, although it still seems recent. She was the baby after the real baby, Janice, died young in an accident. My mom's brother, the baby and beloved of the whole family, shot himself. His son got off his depression or whatever meds so he and his recently wed wife could have a baby. A few months later the idiots at his work who were supposed to keep an eye on him let him go home alone and didn't tell Amie. He shot himself. Just three suicides, I know, but it kinda puts a damper on God for a kid when she can't understand why he not only let this good people kill themselves but also didn't help the people who were supposed to be helping these people do their job. Okay that was stupid. Nevermind. I'll shut up now.

welcome to LadyCoco!
LadyCoco Heyo.....I forgot what I was going to say as an intro X.x Lol Well you can call me Coco....I'll decide when to give my real name later whee I will say now that I'm more of a lurker and probably wont be around much because I started college and already it's hectic sweatdrop Though, I will have a week off soon and I will randomly post even when I should be doing homework whee That's just how I am, a procrastinator with A.D.D. razz but I do get things done in the end 3nodding My tastes are eclectic in music, style, likes, games, everything. Heh so I think I get along with just about everyone... My avatar also changes quite a bit...like this hair...I only have it because I dressed up as the "predator" because of the whole aliens thing on Gaia. *Shakes her head* Aliens, what will they think of next?
Anyways, I've been a Christian since the day I was born basically and one thing stays true, I will always be a Christian and always love God in good times and bad. I had my time of questioning my faith when I was going through puberty, but in the end I realized that he is the truth. His word is the truth and that is proven time and time again in my life and others. I just wish everyone knew that. So I think that's all I'll say for now O.o
Welcome darsin!
darsin I'm darsin. I like reading, drawing, anime, music and video game. I do loads of stuff through my church and love every minute of it.
welcome to Delure!
Delure Eh... Hello!! I'm Delure, a third year student at the U of M, and recently just starting my clothing design major...which I hope to complete in 4 more years... ;_; Anyway! I'm really enthusiastic about cosplaying, so if any of you would like to share cosplaying stories, ideas, tips, or anything, let me know! And this is a religious site, so I might as well talk about that... I'm not affiliated with any religious organization, really. I just like to hear other people's perpectives, think critically, and try have an open mind. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here, but I hope to peek around a bit and see what you are all talking about. Hopefully something entertaining, no? ^o^ Anyway, please treat me well!
Welcome Terry!
Jesusfreak1988 I'm Terry, and I've been saved since I was 7. My mom and sister are saved, but my dad isn't (pray for him). I'm 18 years old and a freshmen in college. College is a big change for me, because I've lived in the same place all my life, and I'm leaving behind all of my close Christian friends at home. So now I'm looking for some new Christian friends to hang out with both online and off. My best school subjects have always been math and science, so I have some interesting ideas on how science and God fit together. (they fit together quite well actually) As for musics, I listen to just about anything except rap and death metal, and anything that involves excessive whining. stare My favorite bands are newsboys, audio adrenaline, supertones, superchic[k], five iron frenzy, and relient k's older stuff. If you want to know anything else just ask. smile
Welcome Mitsukai!
+Lady Mitsukai+ I'm Mitsu, and I've been raised a christian my entire life, as well as been homeschooled (don't get me started) my entire life until graduation. I was intrigued to come across this guild, and honestly have to say that I admire the person who started this guild. You have strong faith as well as guts to come onto gaia with something like this, let alone to have people honestly join and discuss christian matters. It makes me proud to be a christian in a world where christians are scarce and looked down upon. Kudos. heart
Welcome to Cheeky!
A Cheeky Angel Hello everyone, I'm Cheeky. whee I'm currently going on the course to become a Japanese teacher, but if that doesn't work out, my back up plan is the medical field. A doctor or psychiatrist. xD I'm very ambitious. For awhile, I decided I was not Christian, however, I let God back into my life last year and I feel more love and dedication towards him than ever. I'm happy and excited to be in this guild!
A belated welcome to Lilith the second resident Satanist…
Lilith Delost I have been in this guild for a while now and posted a bit..but somehow skipped this thread... sweatdrop I figured that I would join this guild to not only have conversation, but also to opefuly raise my respect for christians since it was droped a bit and made me a bit angsty since it appears that any christian I run into that finds out I'm a satanist (athiestic like Pirate) automatically starts preaching, telling me I NEED to go to chruch get saved accept christ ect. I'm tolerant to an extent. Believe what you will. The whole, don't shove your beliefs down my throat and I won't shove mine down yours. Maybe just shove my foot up your butt.. (KIDDING!) As you may or may not have notied I have a bad sense of humor, and have a bad time talking about myself so I end up rambling about other things and getting offtopic...anyway back to me... I have 6 cats Cow, Kanji, and Tubby (who has been dubbed preggo as she is kanji and cows mom and just had 3 more kittens who all have names too now) The new kittens names are Amon, Nergal, and Shiva. Sadly I can't afford 6 cats so I am giving away the three new kittens. One to my neighbor, one to my fiancees sistr and one to a close friend. I said they could rename them I just dont like having unnamed animals.. ^^; I also have a Pet Snake and a Taratula. The snke is named Belial and the Tarantula is named fluffy ^_^ I plan to become a flight attendant, and see the world, you know, the american dream (heh..) Anything lse you wann know just ask I can be selfcentered I'm just not good at talking about myself with no pinpoint direction to go in..short attention spans are not fun like that..
Welcome Cheyanne!
Inuyasha_fan_girl_1 Hey ya'll! My name is Cheyanne Sharpe, I'm thirteen years old, and I'm a Christian. You can call me Cheyanne, Chey-Chey, Anne, Sharpie, Munke (lol, my nickname on neopets xP), or basically anything else you want xD. As long as it's not rude, of course ;D.
Anyway, I joined this guild for a few reasons. My main reasons, though, were because it was a guild for Christians, meaning that we can talk about God without people flaming you for it; Non-believers were allowed to join (before they were just doing it to bash our beliefs, at least), implicating that the guild includes everyone; and it seemed like a nice place to talk about different things xP.
When it comes to different religions, I don't mind talking about it, as long as it doesn't end up to the point where I'm getting it shoved down my throat, and I'm not doing it myself. I love God with all my heart, but when there is someone else that doesn't believe in him, or believes something else, I won't shove Him in their face. I just like saying what my religion is, but I don't like trying to fource someone to become Christian.
Ahem, getting off topic. I have a bit more to say about my views of relgion topics, but I need to go. I can't really think of anything else to say, other then I love to draw and I love Anime & Manga. So yeah...
Welcome to Ashley!
londonchick25 biggrin HI! My name is Ashley, but you can call me london, chick, or the combination of the two. I am 15 years old. I grew up in church. My mom and step dad are both really active; which means I end up being really active (not that I mind). I love my church. It is new but a loving group of people. I have alot of friends at my church and I love arguing on alot of different matters (from politics to religion). I am extremely involved in our youth. We have AWANA's at our church and I am a leader in training this year and I absolutely adore it. I am really interested in Revelations this year. I usually switch around between my heart favorite verses but at the moment it is: REVELATIONS 21:3-7........ I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away." He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true." He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. Also I love: REVELATIONS 22:16-17......... I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David; the Bright and Morning Star." The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" He who hears, let him say, "Come!" He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely. And the last stuff I can think of are that I am in high school, my parents are divorced, we have alot of animals, I am a vegetarian, and I love Gaia.
