.:Updates:.
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.

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,
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. | |
