Approximately eleven hours after writing my last post, it appears that www.gp4teens.com was changed into www.guidepostssweet16mag.com. You see, the editors of the magazine changed the name of the magazine and the entire outlook as well. Instead of having a magazine for both guys and girls, they changed it so that it was specifically targeted towards girls. I personally dislike the change. Because of the change of the magazine, it seems as though they decided to delete the "old" website and replace it with a "new" website. I wish that they hadn't of done this, but I don't have a say in what they decide to do.
I am sorry for this (though I don't really know why). I sorta feel guilty, though I don't think that there was any way for me to know that they were erasing the old site. I wonder why I feel guilty for something that was not "my fault" and beyond my control.
Tonight, tomorrow, and the next day I get to participate in this thing called WOW JAM (Winning Our World through Jesus And Music). My church, along with many others, is going into the inner city where we volunteer to do many things for the poor people there (ex. hair cuts, bike repair, free food, nail and face painting, rocking babies, doing games for the young kids). I helped out with the little kid games last year. Near the end they give out big prizes (bikes, CD players, boom boxes). Then the speaker presents the gospel message (frequently throughout the time we're helping the people, the guy in charge has everyone raise their hand and repeat after him: "I am special because God made me."). Last year, there were over 1,000 salvations in the three-day period. It was really an awesome experince. Then, on Sunday, they have this baptism service at the local YMCA where many of the people who were just saved were baptized. I'm glad that I get to participate again this year. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.

I wonder if Guideposts is simply trying to separate their magazine into one for girls and one for boys (that hasn't come out yet). I can't imagine them leaving the guys out, but if they do, it's their choice. No reason for you to feel guilty.
Have fun with WOW JAM. It sounds great! I would love to participate in something like that! You said you are going to the inner city; are you having to travelto get there, or is it in your city?
Also, do you know where Cary, NC is? We know someone who will be moving there soon.
Well, I must go now. Be blessed, sister!

Neo,
WOW JAM is in the inner part of my city, so we don't really have to travel far to get there.
I actually don't really know where Cary is, though I believe that it is at least two or three hours from where I am. NC is a really nice place to live, except for all the mosquitos. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.
