Welcome the zine! First, I have a few 
 announcements to make. I'm working 
on a few
  new sites. First, Outreach 3:16 is an idea
   I've had since CIR was still on the drawing
    board, and I've decided that God wants me
     to do it. The ultimate mission of 3:16 is
      the great commission.  I have alot of work
     to do, so I don't anticipate opening it
    very soon. I've decided to close G Mail.
   But don't worry! I'm closing G Mail, but
  opening Genesis Mail! To our email users:
 you're email address won't change and all the
features you enjoy today will continue to be
 available. With the new site will come a
  radical new design! Also, we're beginning to
   run on low again!  We need more testimonies,
    more writings, more jokes, more everything!
     Send it all to AJ@gmail.cjb.net!

                               Enjoy the zine!

                  .:Daily Proverb for 6-15-1:.

15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but 
grievous words stir up anger. 

15:2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge 
aright: but the mouth of fools 
poureth out 
foolishness. 
15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every 
place, 
beholding the evil and the good. 
15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: 

but perverseness therein is a breach in the 
spirit. 
15:5 A fool despiseth 
his father's 
instruction: but he that regardeth reproof 
is prudent. 
15:6 
In the house of the righteous is much 
treasure: but in the revenues of 
the wicked 
is trouble. 
15:7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: 

but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. 
15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked 
is an 
abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the 
upright is his delight. 

15:9 The way of the wicked is an abomination 
unto the LORD: but he loveth 
him that 
followeth after righteousness. 
15:10 Correction is grievous unto 
him that 
forsaketh the way: and he that hateth 
reproof shall die. 
15:11 
Hell and destruction are before the 
LORD: how much more then the hearts 
of the 
children of men? 
15:12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth 

him: neither will he go unto the wise. 
15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful 

countenance: but by sorrow of the heart 
the spirit is broken. 
15:14 The 
heart of him that hath understanding 
seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of 
fools 
feedeth on foolishness. 
15:15 All the days of the afflicted are 
evil: 
but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. 
15:16 Better 
is little with the fear of the 
LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. 

15:17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love 
is, than a stalled ox and 
hatred therewith. 
15:18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but 
he that 
is slow to anger appeaseth strife. 
15:19 The way of the slothful man is 
as an 
hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous 
is made plain. 
15:20 
A wise son maketh a glad father: but a 
foolish man despiseth his mother. 

15:21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute 
of wisdom: but a man of understanding 

walketh uprightly. 
15:22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: 
but 
in the multitude of counsellors they are 
established. 
15:23 A man hath 
joy by the answer of his mouth: 
and a word spoken in due season, how good 
is it! 
15:24 The way of life is above to the wise, 
that he may depart 
from hell beneath. 
15:25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: 

but he will establish the border of the widow. 
15:26 The thoughts of the 
wicked are an abomination 
to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant 
words. 
15:27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own 
house; but he 
that hateth gifts shall live. 
15:28 The heart of the righteous studieth 
to 
answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth 
out evil things. 
15:29 
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he 
heareth the prayer of the righteous. 

15:30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: 
and a good report maketh 
the bones fat. 
15:31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life 
abideth 
among the wise. 
15:32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth 
his own soul: 
but he that heareth reproof 
getteth understanding. 
15:33 The fear of the 
LORD is the instruction 
of wisdom; and before honour is humility.

                                 .:Testimony:.
                         .:Dana Piotrowski's:.

I was an outcast in grammar school. If you were 
ever one of them, you  
know the deal: no friends,
no parties, no dates. My only escape from my 
pitiful life was the theater. 
I joined a small 
theater troupe when I was about 10 and quit 
when I was 
about 12 cause I was too old for the troupe. 
Then the director called me 
back when I was 
13 to ask if I was a certain age (13) yet. 
I was, so I 
joined the teen theater troupe. 
One of the members was a senior at Lane 
Tech High 
School whose name was Loyda. One day she came to 
rehearsal wearing 
a shirt that said "Young Life Lane". 
I didn't know what it was, so I asked. 

She said that it was something at her school. 
Loyda graduated in '98, and 
is now a leader.
This was in my early 8th grade year. Later in the 
year I applied to 3 high 
schools, got rejected by the one I 
really wanted to go to, and got accepted 
at the 
other 2. They were Von Steuben and Lane Tech. 
I started talking 
to the other kids in the group about 
the schools. I knew what Von was like, 
my brother 
went there, and I talked to them about Lane. 
I am now a junior 
at Lane. My freshman year, I went 
to the lunchroom on Club Day, which is 
a day when 
you can visit assorted club's booths in the 
lunchroom. I saw 
a flyer for Fright Fest, which is a thing at 
the Six Flags theme park just 
north of Chicago. 
I signed up, went to Fright Fest, and when I was 
getting 
off the bus, was handed a flyer for the night 
club meetings. If it hadn't 
been for Bubba handing 
me that flyer, I would probably be dead now. He 
knows 
that he was a factor in saving my life. The 
place it's at is about 
4 blocks from my house. 
I chose to go, and found out that it was a religious 
group. 

    Now I realize that God led to me YL through 
the events that 
happened to me in grammar school. 
It's not a coincidence that I met Loyda 
and the 
others who go to Lane and decided to go there. 
If I had been accepted 
at the one school I would 
have gone there, but I wasn't. I love God with 
all my 
heart and soul. My life is in His hands now, and when 
I graduate 
high school, I would like to be a YL leader. 
I would be honored to tell 
others of the 
Glory and Grace that is the Lord Jesus Christ. 
A few verses 
which have helped me out in tough 
times are Phillippians 4:13 -- I can 
do anything 
through Him who gives me strength; Psalm 84:10 -- 
Better is 
one day in Your courts than a thousand days 
elsewhere. I would rather be 
a doorman for the hosue of my God 
than dwell in the tents of the wicked; 
and 
Psalm 27:10 -- Though my father and mother forsake me, 
the Lord will 
receive me. My father 
was a drunkard for over half my life. Now he's trying 

to control it, but I rely on God to get me to college and away from him. 

    
Because I was the outcast, because I was 
accepted at a certain school, 
because I found that 
club, I came to know God. If I hadn't, I would be 
dead 
right now. I have this inexpressible joy inside me 
now because I 
know Jesus and the Power He uses to 
work through even the most hateful 
person. Because 
I found this club, I am alive today. They showed me 
God's 
love and His amazing love for me saved my life. 
If it hadn't been for those 
wonderful people, I would 
not be here right now. If it came down to it, 
I would give 
my life for Christ. I refuse to deny His wonderful name. 

If it hadn't been for the chain of events that I lived 
through in my first 
13 years of life, I would be like 
everyone else. An athiest or agnostic, 
who has no idea of the 
Power and Glory that is Jesus Christ. He is 
the 
most amazing Person I have ever met. He's my Best Friend, 
He's my Daddy, 
He's my Brother. Some people 
I know think it's funny that my Best Friend 
was born 
in a manger two thousand years ago and gave His own 
life so that 
I may know Him. But hey. I'm a Jesus freak. 
This is a quote from one of 
my favorite songs, "Jesus Freak" by 
dc Talk: "What will people think when 
they hear that I'm a Jesus freak? 
What will people do when they find that 
it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak, 
there ain't no disguising 
the truth...People say I'm strange, 
does it make me a stranger that my 
best friend was born in a 
manger?" I can't erase my faith and I won't deny 
it. 
I would give my short life to further God's Word. God is the 
most 
amazing Being in the entire universe. 
Who else do you know that can be 
three separate 
entities, but still be one perfect being? Only God -- 
The 
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. LIVE FOR 
GOD AND HE WILL GIVE YOU 
LIFE! Thanks and God bless!

                .:Technologically Challenged:.

In case you think you are technologically 
challenged, look at this excerpt 
from a Wall 
Street Journal article... 

1. Compaq is considering changing 
the 
instruction "Press Any Key" to "Press 
Return Key" because of the flood 
of calls 
asking where the "Any" key is. 

2. AST technical support had 
a caller 
complaining that her mouse was hard to 
control with the dust 
cover on. The cover 
turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse 
was packed 
in. 

3. Another AST customer was asked to send a 
copy of her defective 
diskettes. A few days 
later a letter arrived from the customer 
along with 
photocopies of the floppies. 

4. A Dell customer called to say he couldn't 

get his computer to FAX anything. After 40 
minutes of troubleshooting, 
the technician 
discovered the man was trying to FAX a piece 
of paper by 
holding it in front of the 
monitor's screen and pressing the "Send" 
key. 


5. A confused caller to IBM was having 
troubles printing documents. He 
told the 
technician that the computer had said it 
"couldn't find the printer." 
The user said 
that he had also turned the computer screen 
to face the 
printer but that his computer 
still couldn't see the printer. 

6. An exasperated 
caller to Dell Computer 
Tech Support couldn't get her new Dell 
Computer 
to turn on. After ensuring the 
computer was plugged in she responded, "I 

pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and 
nothing happens." The foot pedal 
turned 
out to be the computer's mouse. 

7. Another IBM customer had troubles 
installing 
software and rang for support. "I put in 
the first disk and 
that was OK. It said 
to put in the second disk and I had some 
problems 
with the disk. When it said to put 
in the third disk I couldn't even fit 
it in..." 
The user hadn't realized that "Insert Disk 2" 
meant remove Disk 
1 first. 

8. True story from a Novell NetWire System 
Operator ... Caller 
"Hello is this tech 
support?" Tech: "Yes it is. How may I help 
you?" Caller: 
"The cup holder on my PC is 
broken and I am within my warranty period. 

How do I go about getting it fixed?" Tech: 
"I'm sorry, but did you say 
cup holder?" 
Caller: " Yes, it's attached to the front 
of my computer." 
Tech: "Please excuse me if 
I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did 

you receive this as part of a promotional, 
or at a trade show? How did 
you receive this 
cup holder? Does it have any trade mark on it?" 
Caller: 
"It came with my computer, I don't 
know anything about a promotional. It 
just 
has '4X' on it." (At this point the Tech 
Rep had to mute the caller, 
because he was 
laughing too hard.) The caller had been 
using the load 
drawer of the CD-ROM drive 
as a cup holder.

                              :.Jesus Christ.:
  Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal 
  savior?  Do feel like something 

is missing
  in your life?  Do you feel like there is 
  no point to life, you have 

nothing to live
  for?  Are you worried about your future?
  You don't have to read horoscopes, or call
  a psychic hotline to be comforted of your 
  future.  Instead, GOD loves 

you.  And He 
  wants only the best for you.  He knows 
  you inside and 

out, even if you don't know
  Him.  He loves you unconditionally, no strings
  are attached to His love.  He loves you so
  much that He died for you.  He did it so 
  that you and I could spend 

all eternity
  with Him. Do you have Him as your savior?
  He didn't say that we would have all the 
  luxuries of this world, He 

did say that He 
  would provide for us, if only we seek Him.
  Do you have this wonderful gift called 
  Salvation?  If you don't, it's 

easy to get,
  just ask Him you want it.  Commit your life 
  to Him, and He will greatly 

reward you.
      Will you pray?
"Lord Jesus, I admit I am a sinner. I need forgiveness. 
    I am sorry 

for my sins and I don't want to sin against You 
  anymore. I believe You 

are the Son of God and You died on 
the cross for MY sins. I also believe 

that you rose from the dead 
so that I, too, may have victory over the grave. 

Please forgive me 
now Lord and cleanse me. Come into my heart and give 

me a new 
life. Thank You, Jesus, for shedding your blood for me and for 
                         
hearing
                   and answering my prayer. Amen" 

  If you've just prayed 

that, you are a Child
  of GOD.  Think about that!  A child of the
  Creator of the Universe.  It's a humbling
  experience.  If you have anything you 
  want to know about your new life 

with Christ,

I lived my life with reckless abandon, like there would be, no tomorrow. I lived life on the edge, engaging death as a playmate. If death came, then that too, I'd hoped in it's finality, would be the ultimate experience I craved. Maybe in death, I could finally realize the meaning of life.
