Hey out there to everyone in web land!
We've got yet another great edition of the
zine, and as you may have noticed, things
won't be as crowded as last week. :)
I have a few things I want to say, so let's
hurry before I forget. :) First, Generation
God.net will be closing their doors forever,
and will become Generation God eXtreme!
More this, more that, more yin, more yang,
and the webmaster put it best when he said
"It will be the same, but different." The
site will also have a few new features, but
that's a secret! :o)
Uh-oh, I'm already starting to forget. Let's
see, now....oh, that's right!
Last week I told you about a site, the Bible
site. And I specifically said this:
"Right now, I want to take some time out to tell
you about an awesome site!
It's called "the Bible site." By now I'm sure
you've heard of a similar site called the Hunger
site(http://www.thehungersite.com ) where you
click a button to donate some food to third
world countries. The way they afford it is that
they have ads from generous sponsors that want
to help feed starving people and maybe pick up
a few customers along the way. Well, the Bible
site has the same concept. Except, they treat a
different hunger. One that has a grip on
millions of persecuted Christians. The hunger
for God's holy word, you guessed it, the Bible.
You click the button and donate 1 book of the
Bible. It costs nothing and takes very little
time. Today's goal is 1320 books of the Bible,
with over 1,200 subscibers to the C Zine, if
everyone here donates, that goal is very
possible.
Click Here ->
http://www.thebiblesite.org "
Unfortuneatly, in all the crowds and confusion,
most of you forgot! That's alright, though,
because you can still beat that goal. Everyday,
in fact. And until that 1320 goal is
beaten, I'll keep reminding
you every
week. :)
Enjoy the zine!

::Inspirational Story::
::The Bird Cage::
There once was a man named George Thomas, a
pastor in a small New England
town. One Easter
Sunday morning he came to the Church carrying
a rusty,
bent, old bird cage, and set it by
the pulpit. Several eyebrows were raised
and,
as if in response, Pastor Thomas began to speak.
"I was walking through town yesterday when
I saw a young boy coming toward
me, swinging
this bird cage. On the bottom of the cage
were three little
wild birds, shivering with
cold and fright. I stopped the lad and asked,
"What you got there son?"
"Just some old birds," came the reply.
"What are you gonna do with them?" I asked.
"Take 'em home and have fun with 'em. I'm
gonna tease 'em and pull out
their feathers
to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time."
"But you'll get tired of those birds sooner
or later. What will you do
then?"
"Oh, I got some cats. They like birds. I'll
take 'em to them."
The pastor was silent for a moment. "How
much do you want for those birds,
son?"
"Huh??!!! Why, you don't want them birds,
mister. They're just plain old
field birds.
They don't sing - they ain't even pretty!"
"How much?"
The boy sized up the pastor as if he
were crazy and said, "$10?".
The pastor reached in his pocket and took
out a ten dollar bill. He placed
it in
the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone.
The pastor picked up the cage and gently
carried it to the end of the alley
where
there was a tree and a grassy spot.
Setting the cage down, he opened
the
door, and by softly tapping the bars
persuaded the birds out, setting
them free.
Well, that explained the empty bird cage
on the pulpit, and then the pastor
began
to tell this story.
One day Satan and Jesus were having a
conversation. Satan had just come
from
the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating
and boasting.
"Yes, sir, I just caught the world full
of people down there. Set me a
trap,
used bait I knew they couldn't resist.
Got 'em all!"
"What are you going to do with them?"
Jesus asked.
"Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach
them how to marry and divorce
each other.
How to hate and abuse each other. How to
drink and smoke and
curse. How to invent
guns and bombs and kill each other.
I'm really gonna
have fun!"
"And what will you do when you get done
with them?", Jesus asked.
"Oh, I'll kill 'em."
"How much do you want for them?"
"Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't
no good. Why, you take them
and they'll just
hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you
and kill you!!
You don't want those people!!"
"How much?"
Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your
tears, and all your blood....Your
life is the price."
Jesus paid the price.
The pastor picked up the cage he opened
the door and he walked from the
pulpit.

::Testimony::
::Leeanne Morrison's::
First off.....I was always skeptical of believing
in something that I couldn't see....I always felt
and knew there was some sort of higher power
that existed, but I could never be sure until
I experienced first hand the love and security
that comes from being born again......losing
the old life of many faults, mistakes and sheer
stupidity to receiving the true love.....true
unconditional love that only Christ can
offer....so on that note....
I have several testimonies actually that I can
share, but these are my favorites.....the first
one is I had been driving out of state to a
Gospel Music Association Conference to which
I attended. I left late on a Sunday night,
was tired and was just not feeling well. Well,
I got lost - driving down unfamiliar roads,
it was dark and rather desolate and I could not
find the beltway for the life of me. What did
I do? I prayed to the Lord for guidance....and
the Lord knows I was not going to just roll
down my car window and ask any Joe Shmo on
the street in the wee hours which direction
to travel. I came to a light and a vehicle
pulled up next to me....the only one on the
road and guess what...it turned out to be an
ambulance! I felt secure and safe enough to
roll down the window and ask directions.
The driver was courteous and stated that
I should take a left right here at the light
we were sitting at (he was in the right lane
next to me). When the light
turned green,
I made my left and turned back to wave, but
the ambulance was gone! I looked in all
directions and it was not anywhere to be
found! It literally disappeared!
Needless to say the directions were
great and I was on my way home where
I got home around 2 AM in the morning.
I Thank the Lord Jesus for coming to my
rescue! I thank the Lord by way of music
- I have a Christian Hard Rock Band that
we minister to young adults to try and get
to know the Lord. I praise God and thank
Him daily for my spiritual gifts of music.
In another instance.....this is actually
one from our former Youth Minister
of our
Church....I tell this story because again
- God knows all! Our youth minister was
new to the area and did not have a job
at the time, he was searching for one.
He was married with two babies and one
day he was on his way to the grocery
store to pick up the essentials....diapers,
formula, etc and had a craving for milk.
Well, being on a tight budget and loving
milk as he does, he just couldn't justify
getting milk, when his kids and wife were
in need. As he exited the store he recalls
thinking how he had this incredible craving
for milk. As he started to enter the
parking lot to get to his car, a woman
standing on the curb was holding two gallons
of milk and shouted "can anybody use a
gallon of milk? I bought two, and for the
life of me I don't know why, I can't use
it".......Well, needless to say, another
prayer has been answered - my friend and
Youth Minister was stunned - happily and
praised the Lord for satisfying is need,
even though it was a small request, the
Lord came through!
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for the big
things and the small things -
irregardless
they are all from His heart to yours.
Peace in Christ~

Total souls saved: 21
Praise Lord Jesus! 1 more person has been
saved by His priceless grace,
mercy, & love!
Right now, just say a short prayer for that

fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on
eternal life, and confess the great
confession! (1 Timothy 6:12)
Hallelujah!

::Humor Me::
::The new suit::
A guy was being sold a very cheap suit.
"But the left arm is a lot longer than the
right arm," he complained.
"That's why the suit is such a bargain,"
the sales clerk explained. "Just
cock your
left shoulder up a little, like this, and
tuck this left lapel
under your chin a bit,
like this."
"But the right leg is way too short,"
argued the customer.
"No problem," the sales clerk answered.
"Just keep your right knee bent
a little
at all times, walk like this, and no one
will notice. That's
why this suit is only
thirty dollars."
Finally, the fellow bought the suit, cocked
his left shoulder into the
air, tucked the
suit's left lapel under his chin, bent his
right knee,
and limped out of the store
toward his car.
Two doctors happened along and noticed him.
"Good heavens," the first doctor said to
the second, "look at that poor
crippled fellow."
"Yeah," answered the second doctor. "But
doesn't that suit fit great?"

::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,
or if you're still not sure about all this,
please do not hesitate to email me.(just hit

| | 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.
