[JOYnet] What Won't Be in Heaven ?
Dear friends, It is interesting to note what will not be in heaven : 1. No tears, death, suffering, crying, or pain (Revelation 21.4) 2. No church or temple (21.22; the whole place will be the temple of God). 3. No sun or moon (21.23; God's love will be the source of light there) 4. No night, no closing of the city gates (21.25) 5. Nothing unworthy (21.27) 6. No more hassles with the devil (20.10; he can't get in there) 7. No sea (21.1; some Bible scholars believe this means we will no longer be separated from our loved ones) 8. No one who is dirty-minded (21.27) 9. No one who tells lies (21.27) 10. No curse of sin; it will be broken (22.3) With lots of lov & prayers smi & smi AUH _ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 === This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Giving
Our love for God is shown by how much we give for ourselves and our goods to his work. Giving for the spread of the Christian faith is a necessary and joyful habit. We can't take our money to heaven, but we can send it ahead to God by giving to his work now. It is good to give, but it's important to keep giving. Sometimes Christians will get generous and give a one-time gift to a ministry. But how would you like to live on a series of uncertain, one-time gifts? God is steady in his giving to us, so we, too, should be steady in our giving to his work. with lots of lov & prayers smi & smi _ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 === This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Carrying The Cross
You may be rich. You may be famous. You may be on the top of the world. But pal, if you're a human being, you still have a cross to bear. It may be a birth defect, or a physical or mental chalenge, or a disease or psychosis. For some it may be brokenness from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. May be it's a dysfunctional family, poverty, or unemployment. Whatever it is, each person knows his or her cross, becuase it's usually the thing we try to run away from. We avoid the pain. But Jesus showed us how to transform our pain into LIFE: by offering it to God. Jesus asked us to pick up that cross of pain and follow him. This enables us to grow spiritually so that we can better serve the needs of others. Yes, we'll all have crosses. The difference is, a Christian carries the cross with the help of Christ. And that's how our cross leads us to...eternal life! with love & prayers Smi & Smi auh _ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail === This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] We're All Called!
Dear friends, Did you realize that we're all part of the "holy priesthood" of Christ because of our baptism? And as part of the broader priesthood, we're all called to be ministers of Christ to the world. These days,the Church is using the talents of lay (nonordained) leaders in its mission more than ever before. Some are teachers or social workers; others are theologians or writers; still others are Eucharistic ministers or lectors. There are many vocations in both the ordained and lay areas of life. What part of this holy ministry are you called to?

Re: [JOYnet] Praying for others.
Dear Friends, When your share your self, you are realy offering a piece of your heart. That is what Jason did... he cut a piece of his heart and gave us. It touched me a lot. I am not able to keep my hands together to give and e-clap... We all love you Jason. We pray for you family. "Lord not mine but thy will be done" with lots of lov & prayer smiju joseph, auh From: "Jason :)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [JOYnet] Praying for others. Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2003 15:51:06 +0530 Dear JYs and more especially Smiju who invoked my reply on any one of my experience connected to the prayer "Lord not mine but thy will be done". I would like to make this reply as short as possible because its really difficult to pull out any special moment in my life where the use of this phrase has really impacted my life largely. Because whenever I have applied this Prayer to my life the Results have always been wonderful, special and heart rendering. Take for example just two days ago my brother (who is also a joynetter) was working for a shoddy organisation. He was supposed to give an interview. We all sought's God's will and prayed. Yesterday he went for the interview. He cleared in flying colours and will be joining most probably on the 23rd. However, I would like to mention one which has always been dear to me. It was the period before my Daddy could expire. When our family entered into the renewal my daddy thoroughly refused to be a part of it. He had his excuses including his drinks and his ciggy. It was then in a Prayer Meeting which we attended did we hear a preaching on God's Will. It was then my mum and me decided to submit Daddy and all his bad habits to the Will of God. In the meantime My father was admitted for a Prostrate Gland Operation. However during examination in the hospital the Doctors found out that my dad had Cancer in the advance Stages and wouldnt be able to last for the week. I hadnt even attended a single retreat then. Yet I remember standing outside that operation theatre with my mother as we prayed the Rosary repeatedly and uttering the words "Lord everything will happen as you want it to happen, we trust you." Daddy surived the operation but his bladder was removed. Instead of living for one week went on to live for two years beating all the doctors expectation. In the meantime our whole family including Daddy got to know more about the wonderful Lord. After the operation Daddy refused drinks and smoking. And within one month of the operation started joining our family (we three brothers + mum) in regular Praise and Worship at home. Those moments will always be special to us. For two years Daddy suffered yet in those suffering he would always Praise and Thank God. After two years Daddy starting slowing down. He started getting body aches and starting getting tired regularly. When we finally did a check up again we found that Cancer resurfaced. In the meantime we did a checkup and found out that this time again Doctors had given up hope. We again now as family along with Daddy starting praying fervently that God's will be manifested. However, Daddy's condition kept on detoriating. We had this sinking feeling that Daddy was soon going to be no more. We wanted God to keep him alive. Yet on the other hand we couldnt bear to see Daddy suffer. In the end that one Line "Lord not mine by thy will be done." was our only ultimate prayer. On May 16, 2000 one day after my Parents 23rd Wedding Anniversary, Daddy expired at 3.00 am just when my mom was saying the Divine Mercy. When I look at those days when the doctors had given Daddy only 1 week to live and yet Daddy lived for 2 years, accepted the Jesus as his lord and saviour somethig which he never did for 56 years - It really cemented my belief in "THE WILL OF GOD". urs in faith Jason Mumbai, India Lord, I do not know what to ask of You. You know what I need. You love me better than I know how to love myself. O Heavenly Father, give to me what I know not how to ask or dare not ask. I open my heart to You.

Re: [JOYnet] Praying for others -- nice sharing from anitha
Hi friends, Life sharing always have the power to change lives. That's why we are called living Gospels. It was a nice sharing from anitha. Let us give her an 'e-clap' :). As anitha said it is very easy to begin something. But slowly we loose the fire in us and we will soon escape from that particular initiative which is started by us. I have such experience in my life. Once, Sam-our sevice team member-said :"Smiju, It is very easy to do a thing once or thrice in the name of Jesus. I will never say it is a commitment. If you can do it regularly with same burning that you had in the begining... I will say that is commitment." But still I fail to do as Sam said. But I am trying. And I hear another voice from Jesus "Keep trying Smiju... Keep trying". with lots of lov & prayers smiju joseph, auh From: anitha dsouza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jason :\)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [JOYnet] Praying for others. Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2003 05:32:10 -0800 (PST) Dear friends, Reading the mail sent by Jason, brought back a few memories of the time when i was in mangalore, studying for nursing, while staying in a hostel. We had a wonderful cell group, where we used to gather everyday for some personal sharings, but mainly for intercessory prayer. Each time we knew, someone was in need, or any of their family members was in need, we used to sit before the Lord, pleading for his intervention. We had made a daily habit of this and thought nohing much about it; but one thing was certain, whether there was a test or a exam or any other difficulty we never failed to gather and interceed. This went on wonderfully for about three and a half years, and we never failed to see the results. Each time we prayed for someone, we also saw our prayers being answered; and it was a encouragement for us to go on... But.. that is when satan entered on the scene, very soon we were no longer students, but interns, who worked in all shift dutys, and we slowly found it difficult to gather, we found so many excuses for which we could not gather, we managed to drag on for some time, but very soon our cell intercessory group, for which new members were being added daily, suddenly came to a halt. we stopped gathering altogether. Then came a day when one of our group members, went to attend a retreat. During the counselling section, as the counsellor was laying hands and praying for her, suddenly he seemed disturbed and asked this girl, "friend why did your intercessory group stop? Why are your eyes blinded< can you not see that God was well pleased with your group and was working wonders among you? why then did you stop?" Well!this was it; my friend just burst into tears on hearing this, and came back and shared the experence with us, leaving us all stunned and ashamed of ourselves, It was then we made a commitment to start all over again. Even when we had shift dutys and all were not availabe, still the group continued.. and continued till we finally left the hostel love, anita, kuwait Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

[JOYnet] Cry of the World
Dear Friends, Centuries before (BC 587) they wrote :- Those who used to eat only the best, now lie dying in the streets; those who were reared in the purple claw at the rubbish heaps for the wickedness of the daughter of my people exceeded the sins of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment without a hand being laid on it. Once her young people were brighter than snow, whiter than milk; rosier than coral their bodies, their hue like sapphire. Now their faces are blacker than soot, they are not recognised in the streets, the skin has shrunk over their bones, as dry as a stick. - Lamentations. 4: 5-8 I feel this today. When I look around this world, I am forced to write another laments for this AD 2003. World need our prayers. We are responsible to help the world to repent. with prayers Smiju Joseph, auh _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus === This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Pain of expatriates
Hi friends, Smitha was sharing this stories: A patient was admitted in her ward, it was a suicide attempt. He is recovering and he said his story, he came from India by an agency which appointed him in this gulf area (for certain reasons I am not mentioning the country and the patients details). Like all other expatriates he also had dreams... dreams about his future, and when he arrived to his fortune land he thought his dream is fulfilled. He was working in a rural area as a shepherd. Where his salary is Rs. 3500/- (S72.00). But soon he realised he came there just to die. For months he was not paid. Daily he got a piece of bread and a cup of water, sometimes his boss forgot to give food. His life was harder than a slave. He begged to his boss for salary. His cry, nobody to hear. The hot desert wind wiped out his tears. At last he took the knife for a simple deed. Just to cut his throat. He is now recovering soon. Pray for him. This is the story of a 20 years old Asian girl who is admitted to ICU. She was working as a servant. She was raped by her boss's son and when she resisted she was hit by an iron rod on her back head. After the surgery she is recovering, but partially she is paralyzed. It will take at least one year for recovery. This is another story of a young nurse. She came to Arabian Gulf to earn some money and to help her parents. She was well educated and was efficient. One day by her mistake a patient died. She was arrested. They cut her both hands and sent her back to India. She was from Kerala. She was admitted in Delhi. Previous week she was discharged and was traveling to Kerala. On the way she jumped out from the train and dead. Please pray for all people who are suffering all over the world. with prayers Smiju Joseph, auh _ Help STOP SPAM: Try the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail === This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Re: Gospel - truth or lie?
My loving friends, I was just reading all, nice sharing. It is some what easy to preach Gospel to strangers. But it is not at all easy to preach Gospel in his/her own nearer circles, because that is the place were the preacher should practice his/her words. Disciples learned and practiced lot of things from Jesus Christ. Disciples' had followers - they learned about Jesus, and practiced lot of things from disciples. They wrote Gospel... they converted the entire universe in one day... they sacrificed there life... they preached Gospel to animals & birds We learn more and more about Jesus & his disciples, we study about saints and we wonder about 'Ancient Christianity'. We attend Evangelization course. We write thesis about Jesus that the people can't understand and we forget to love and we hide the Word of God in The Bible. But some people are different and we always learn from them. We know who they are. They are the living Gospels. I am not speaking about someone like Mother Teresa I am speaking about the silent saints who are with us. May be mother, may be father... may be that unknown friend may be that priest... the list goes on, but only few. If we are like them it easy to preach The Gospel. After several decades a grandma will tell her grandchildren stories about JYs. (I dream so). "Once upon a time there lived a Jesus Youth, he/she did lot of miracle and was killed.(or he long lived for Jesus)." And children will go to bed.

[JOYnet] A theft by little smiju
That was a theft which ended in hours. Now when I think about that incident I like to thank my Ammachi (mother) very much. It happened when I was studying in 4th Standard. At that time like most of the children I too was crazy about playing with tops. It was always a wonder for me to see the rotation of the top. For me it was very difficult to make it rotating with a single thin thread still I don't know how to do that. My friends were expert in it. So when I saw that automatic top in my tuition teachers home my eyes stuck there. I was being restless until I did that great theft. Then showed it to friends proudly. It rotated more than they imagined. Soon I became the hero among them. But the happiness doesnt last long. Ammachi (mother) noticed that her son playing with a new kind of toy. She easily identified the new item because she knew what toys I have. She knew that her son did something wrong. Soon investigation started. I tried to protect myself with a charming smile, but soon failed. I said lies One friend gave Which friend, call him, I would like to talk to him. He is not here, he went to mothers home What? I said around 20-30 lies within minutes. At last the truth came out when I felt the tip of the cane on my thigh. The truth stood over all the lies. The punishment was to return the top back to the teacher and say sorry. Oh! God it was very difficult for me. You should come with me my request to mother. Me? No!.. Nobody will come with you. You did it and you alone should go there and I want you to do it now. It was not at all easy for me. My feet didnt move an inch. When I looked back I saw my mothers glowing eyes. So I managed to walk to my tuition teachers House. On those hours I was very angry at ammachi. What to do? No idea! Go back to home? No! Run away? Oh! No I cant do that. While this internal struggle my Guardian Angel helped me to reach near tuition teacher. I said nothing just wept She said No problem, dont repeat it any were. Oh! Great relaxation. It was my first theft and was my last. Back in home my mother asked what I did. I said that I met my teacher. She confirmed it with the teacher then sat with me loved and said, Jesus doesnt like it. Dont repeat it. Promise me. Mothers and even a tuition teacher can do more in a childs character formation. In my case she made me aware of my sin, helped me to solve the problem myself. She kept watching me until the end of that incident and made sure that her son corrected his path. More than that she kept praying. But the main part is that what decision the child takes in the critical situations in his life. We cannot predict. It depends upon how parents handle the situation. Just allow him to do it alone and pray always pray for him, keep watching, correct him on right time and make sure that he corrected his path, make him aware of the sin he did. And God will take care of him. Thats what my mother did. Now I know Jesus helped me to take the decision to go and meet the tuition teacher. Now I can say only one thing about mother A woman build with love, for love.

Re: [JOYnet] Dowry
God is with you all. I read the mails regarding Dowry. I am not saying Dowry is good. If God allows me to marry a girl, sure I won't ask for Dowry. That's good if we stop Dowry. Aftwards what will happen to the girls who are not so beatiful? Most of the guys like to marry beatiful girls! then girls' parents has no other choice, they will offer dowry. If the girl is beautiful and rich, dowry is a prestige issue. If the girl is not beautiful and is rich, dowry helps the parents to buy the guy. If the girl is beautiful and poor, chances are more for a good family. Lots of JY guys are searching such girls. If the girl is not beautiful and is poor, I don't know what will be her future. God will help her. with lots of lov & prayers smiju joseph, abu dhabi --- Priya Joy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Lovely, you were asking, is it necessary to get > dowry/share at the time of > marriage > > The Indian women, I mean most of them are not > getting > anything other than this dowry as their share from > own family. > There are lots of laws that assure women equal > share, but in real life how > many got befit of this laws?

[JOYnet] I broke his hands but he broke my...
God bless you all. >From my life... When I broke his hands? If my recollection is correct it happened when I was studying in 8th or 9th Standard. I always remember Agnes teacher, whenever I remember St. Albert's H.S. because she loved us and then she taught us. She was the head of our class. It was the time of 'Youth Festival'. We a group of students joined in Speech Competition. Among them he was there - Jeffry - from an Anglo-Indian family, he was so wonderful, very active, from another division of same Standard. We all were in such a happy mood. We all were practicing speech in a 'Youthful way'. Some under the desk, some on the desk, some on teacher's table... jumping, dancing & laughing while referring the subject for speech. Jeffry was standing on the desk. He acted like a politician who speaks to his followers. To make everybody laugh I simply shook the desk. I just tried to frighten him, but what happened is he fell down from the desk. He didn't cry. He painfully said "Oh! My stomach" then he said "My hands are also in pain". Everybody thought another joke, but soon the scene changed. Teachers came, and as I was a coward I ran away, worrying what happened to Jeffry. Later I came to know that both of his hands are fractured and around two months I put him in difficult situation, he missed that joyfull youth festival, classes, weekend exam etc.. The more painful matter was nobody in school questioned or punished me for that incident. His parents never came searching me. I was waiting for a punishment from my teachers. Evening when all the student left to there home, I was afraid that may be his parents waiting for me at the gate. But nothing happened as I afraid. Afterwards we never met face to face, I think so. It is time to leave school. We finished our school life in 1990. All of us left school, all scattered here and there, college years passed very soon. I joined in Don Bosco ITC. There I met my old friend again. He greeted me with a warm smile. He came there at Don Bosco Youth Centre. Most evenings he came there because he lived nearby. We talked a lot and on the way I said to friends "I am the person who broke his hands". He laughed and said, "Yes". I asked him "why nobody caught me?" "Even your parents didn't come searching me!" He smiled and said that he was not at all angry with me, so informed nothing to teachers. His parents were ready to catch me, but he discouraged them. I got answers for the questions, which I asked years before. I was silent for a while. How kind he is! "We will see later..." did words came out properly? I don't think so. Very soon I was in chapel. I raised eyes and looked my Jesus. I didn't saw him there because my eyes... full of tears. I felt hot tears running out... then I saw Jesus clearer than ever. I broke his hands...but he broke my heart. He said nothing, but he taught me lot. With lots of lov & prayers Smiju joseph, abu dhabi This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] O' Familia! Familia!
God bless you all. I don't know much about 'Familia'. First I thought, may be a well known person to Suresh. At the same time just recalled my knowledge on Saints, no! I don't remember a St. Familia. Now a days most of our sister's name is... Str. Engalandeena, Str. Americana, Str. Velveta, Str. Georjeta... etc. etc. so nothing wrong in doubting that there may a be 'St. Familia. ha ha ha. So, my friends you all are waiting for 'Familia'? That is nice. But don't forget to share our self, listen to others, pray for others. I think this all are the basic activities of Joynet, rest of the things are build up on this 'Strong Stones'. So as a Joynetter never forget this basic structers. next time more.. with lots of lov & prayers smiju joseph, abu dhabi This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Labour Police, Truth and Jesus :)
My friends, God bless you all. And peace with you. It was a pleasant, day. Morning onwards my tongue was praising Jesus, with songs. I was so happy and felt HIS presence. "You can buy a ticket to Paris Jesus gives the ticket to heavenly home." (Hector taught us this song) "Smiju, why are you so happy?" "I don't know." was preparing quotation for my customers. In our company only two (me and Mr. Shanavas) have the company visa. Others visa is under process. And it is illegal to work without company visa. If labor police caught, that is more than enough to cancel visa, sentence to jail and deport from UAE. And they can even close company. One more quotation to finish. When I looked up, two Arabs were standing in front of the door, I wondered from were they came. I greeted and suddenly my smile vanished because I recognized one of them. I know him before and I know he is labour police. Everything finished!!! I told him "Sir These ladies are studying here". He shouted "You shut up...!!!" For a few seconds I felt there was no tongue in my mouth. He counted us. "All off you working here?". We were total five. My engineer (Mr. Milad) said: "No, I came here to buy computer!!!" All were frightened. And suddenly Shanavas prepared Bill for him and gave Mother Board, Processor etc., and our engineer acted as customer. Yes. It was a beautiful drama. How wonderfully they acted. I was wondering about their talent. May be police were also wondering about that. Laugh came, how could I laugh infront of a police officer!!! Any way the 'play' was a very big flop! But the officers had the patience to watch it till the end, with a sympathetic smile. Mr. Milad turned to go. "You are not going any where! You will come with me" Officer was angry to Milad, and other officer took all our 'pathakka' (ID Card) and started writing in his statement book. "Tell the truth, otherwise you all will be in Jail" other officer said. "It is first time I ever saw a grocery sales man wearing tie!, and in official dress. You cheat. Tell the truth, otherwise!" Officer commented. Mr. Milads ID card was off a Grocery shop, because the shop is his father's. But he is a Microsoft Certified System Engineer. He was not willing to say truth. Up to that time I was silent, and was trying to please officers. But suddenly some sort of strength came into me and I started telling the truth. "Smiju don't tell the truth, if so, sure they will catch us", Milad said in Malayalam. I praised my Jesus and started telling the whole story. How Milad came, why we appointed him, how much we pay, how long he is with us etc. But the police officer was busy completing his statement. I thought he was not even listening to me. Finished!!! No chance at all. Only thing is left is... just go with them. My heart beats sounded like a 'motor boat'. "Jesus, why you left me alone?" Suddenly I heard something and looked at the Police officer. He was tearing the statement from his book and tore it again into pieces. Everybody wondering, what's going on! He handed the paper pieces to me and said. "Next time don't repeat, take back all your ID Cards (Pathakka)". And they left. You cannot imagine our happiness, that much we were happy. I thanked my Jesus in front of my colleagues. I thanked him very much. When I shared this with my friends. "They said impossible things happened today". Nothing impossible for my Jesus Christ.

[JOYnet] How to love this terrorists ?
God bless you all. Hi friends, Mathew asked as all to pray for America and for the terrorists. Ya! it was a nice idea and that day itself I prayed. For America I prayed with utter consentration and with my full strength. For terrorists I prayed, but my heart was vacant. Something I said to God, but my heart was away from it all. Why ? I searched for answer and concluded in to a point. For me it is somewhat easy to love my enemies and is easy to pray for them. But it is not easy to love or pray for my friend's enemy. It is easy to say, but practicaly it is difficult for me pray for this terrorists. I can pray for them, but not from my heart. I know it is my negative side. If somebody can help me, please share. with lots of lov & prayers smiju joseph, abu dhabi __ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?

[JOYnet] How the angels look like ?
God loves you very much my friend. Hello my loving friend... Don't stare... I called you only... you are my loving friend... now one question... Do you know how the angels look like ? When I talk with Jennifer she gave me some good input and understood her toughts are nice. So I like to mail this to you. Angels look like... Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday. Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes light up the world when you smile. Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things. Like the poor man who offered to share what he had with you. Like the rich man who showed you that it really is all possible, if you believe. Like the stranger who just happened to come along when you had lost your way. Like the friend who touched your heart, when you didn't think you had one. Angels come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin colors. Some with freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some without. They come disguised as friends, enemies, teachers, students, lovers and fools. They don't take life too seriously, they travel light. They leave no forwarding address, they ask nothing in return. They are hard to find when your eyes are closed, but when you choose to see, they are everywhere you look. So open your eyes and count all your Angels... You will find you are truly blessed! - Author Unknown O, my unknown author you are blessed, becuase you touched my heart with your words! with lots of lov & prayers smiju joseph, abu dhabi Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!

[JOYnet] Yes. I am a Jesus Youth !
Thanks a lot my friends for ur sharings. I was just analyzing myself and found still struggling to become, a Jesus Youth like you. Yes, I am a Jesus Youth. If I say something about my past parish life it is like this I born in C.L.C. (Christian Life Community) grownup in K.C.Y.M. (Kerala Catholic Youth Movement) and living in JY (Jesus Youth). As a Jesus Youth I don't have much experience. When I was a boy I used to watch Shelton Pinheiro's (Rexband) father (Sunny Brother) and a few youths gathering in 'Sneha Nilayam' convent opposite to our church. People called them 'Jesus Youth'. After his death I don't know what happened to that gathering. They did 'small' services in our parish, we C.L.C. members laughed at them, because we did 'big' things for church. And parish priest was so happy with us. Easter, Christmas, making Cribs in church for all those activities we youngsters were there. We were willing to do anything for church (not for Jesus). We had a competitive mentality with all other youth movements. Those days I didn't like a single JY. We all thought "Oooo.! JYs...? they lazy people, want to waste time by praying. Praise and Worship ? What's that? Crazy People!! It is only a way to escape from their duty towards church. If there is anything to do, first one hour they will waste by praying & praising. What kind of kingdom they are going to make? My thoughts and talks was this way. That was not only the matter to dislike JYs; I knew only little about Jys, because Jesus Youth was inactive in our parish (I think parish priest stopped it b'coz he disliked more than two youth movements in our parish). I noticed that most of the JYs in my college have good canvas shoes, very attractive shirts, modern hairstyle, most of the time speaking English, Singing English songs and they says they live for Jesus Christ! How? Why can't they speak 'Malayalam' (Kerala Language), How they live for Jesus Christ?. Although I attended college prayers I couldn't understand and couldn't accept them. And saw it as a top-level community of rich and educated people. I think it was because of my inferiority complex. According to my concept a person living for Jesus should not wear fashionable dresses, I had my own reasons for such thoughts. Other thing was... If I say the fact... I had a little fear to go to St. Teresa's College (Women's college) most of the gatherings were there. They also might be feared to come to St. Albert's College (Men's college). Now I don't know how it is. One day when I spoke to Shelton, he told me about his fulltimer commitment. I heard about lot of 'timers', What is this full'timer' ? I said myself, "Crazy people... and thought he have money in his home so no problem to wander here and there" (forgive me Shelton). We KCYM (Kerala Catholic Youth Movement) in our parish thought like that. Later most of the KCYM members attended 'Muringoore Retreat' and came back. It was a great change! We were KCYM members but unknowingly we became Jesus Youths with out the label of Jesus Youth!. Still I remember the night on which my friend Babu, (KCYM secretary of that time) shared his retreat experience, how Jesus touched him and all. >From there I smelled the difference between a 'normal Christian' and a 'real Christian' But my spiritual change started when I came to UAE. Oh! Those days in 'Sharja' I don't like to recall it. Jesus refined me, placed me in Abu Dhabi and slowly, very slowly he inserted me into the JY gathering and to Joynet. There I met a wonderful community who heard me, gave advices, I was a stranger to them, but they loved me. and prayed for me helped me, gives support to grow in Jesus and more... That's Jesus Youth for me. Whenever I have problems with sufferings I will call my cell members. Sometimes I can't reach them... then ... then just login. Lots of invisible friends, they are waiting for me with touching stories, life sharing, and ready to listen to me, and more..., That is Joynet for me. Now, I can feel and understand what Shelton's father and his youths did in our Parish. Now, I really believe my friend Babu met Jesus face to face. Now, I understood the value of one year full-timer commitment. Special thanks to Priya Joy. Studying how to be cheerful, Thanks to Mathew & James (Abu Dhabi). Studied how to reply fast. Thanks to Welchy. Studying How to love. Thanks to Julius (prayer patner) I studied, to do fact and to say fact (still I have some problem). Thanks to Darly Brother. And realizing the meaning of Love. All of you are there... Personally you all touched me and still touching, I have a list. I know what element of you touched me. If I write name by name it will be too long. Even your names make me to Praise God. I don't know how it happens?!! Yes, I started to grow up as a Jesus Youth. Never willing to go back. Oh! Jesus, help me. Transformation still continuing. with lots of lov & prayers smiju josep, Abu dhabi **

[JOYnet] Audio Visual - and a little body pain
God bless you my loving friends, Previous two weeks where wonderful for all UAE Audio Visual Members. Mr. Leo Thadevoose from Ernakulam was with us. He came here from Italy after his studies about theatres. Very talented artist. It was really wonderful experience for all of us. It was Thursday when we started Audio Visual workshop with him. All UAE Audio Visual members came to Dubai St. Mary's Church. When he started talking I took a pen and a book to take notes, soon I understood there was nothing to write but only to do. Most of the subjects were practical. It was very interesting to jump, run and swim in the floor as per his instruction. The difficult, but interesting session was a kind of exercise. When he says "Take the boat mmm... rrmmm..rmm" we should lay down on back and should swim without touching hand and legs on ground, next was taking the boat. It is same as the action of 'rowing' with a 'wosh' sound this also we should do without touching the ground (most of the time there was no action, only sound came out from me). Then stretching hand and legs without touching ground. Oh! God... at the end of the exercise most of us fell down with a 'Duum' sound!!. After that when ever he make 'mmm... rrmmm.. rmm" sound, we shout "N!!!". But we did it again and again. Next subject was about focusing on imaginary objects, concentrating on moving objects, creating impulse on body, illusion, impressionism etc. This all needs lot of physical exercise. It was very interesting to praise Jesus while dancing, jumping and while stretching our body. One night and a full day we were with him and very interesting to be with him. When we came back to Abu Dhabi we was talking about this wonderful person also we shared each other how to over come the join pain and was thinking about different kind of 'Pain Balms' :) and hot salt water. Next day when I came to office (I was not able to walk properly) Shanavas asked, "What happened... Kerala Police caught you ? (UAE police is far better). I said "No... One Mr. Leo caught me" then I explained about our audiovisual programs. When I called Jacob (Dubai) he said not much... but have little join pain :) I guess most of the JYs r in bed rest:) Mr. Leo visited almost all provinces (emirates) and conducted audiovisual programs. Previous days he was in Abu Dhabi. Taught us creative thinking, developing ideas narrative story and more... And, 12th August his birthday. Birthday wishes from UAE JY's Thank you Mr. Leo for visiting us and teaching us a lot. And your family is waiting for you in India for long four months Safe journey. We will remember you always. Still my joins have pain... I will remember you always... especially whenever I have join pain:) With lots of lov & prayers Smiju joseph, abu dhabi ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Drinking - From my life
God bless you all. Dear friends, There were five girls in a family and no brothers. They were very poor. When rain comes, the rooms are filled with water. The room floor was furnished not with cement... it was with cow don. Their father was a tailor, an ex-military, very loving. People call him 'Ashaan' and as most of the ex-service man he was also an addict to alcohol. Their mother sometimes makes brooms and 'shades' from coconut leaves and earns money. She was a strong follower of Jesus and lead her five girls in that way. Some times they walked from 'Mamangalam' to 'High Court' to attend Holy Mass. Most of the days their father drunk too much before closing shop and coming home, sometimes somebody helped him to come. They wait for him to get money to buy rice to make 'kanji', (forget about 'curry' they didn't even dreamed about it) but most of the days they don't get money from him and slept with empty stomach, if they got also it was not enough to feed all the five. So the eldest girl and her mother had no food for days. He spoiled whole money by drinking brandy and last he sold his shop. But with God's grace now they all are married. The eldest one is Rosey Varghese and now she is Mrs. Rosey Antony. Her son started drinking when he was teen. Unfortunately he got the first 'cheers' from christian life community members (C.L.C.). He never wend home after drinking. So she never recognised it. One day night her son drank 'Vodka' and came home. With previous experiences she quickly found that her son drank. Next day morning she told her above story with tears. I said "Ammachi... I will never do this again". A small hug and a kiss changed my life. (It is long story. I made it short). How can I say drinking alcohol is good even if it is only moderate? I have more to share about this from my life... about my friend who is killed. About my uncle whose liver is like a mosquito net and more... But I am not interested to write, this all will put me in tears. God bless you all.

[JOYnet] drinking alcohol - reply to Biju's mail
God bless you all. Biju God is with you. Dear Biju, This mail will be usefull to everybody so I sent this to Joynet. Once I wrote this same to JYnet that's why I was not interested to write it again now read this again, from Proverbs : Who is always in trouble ? Who argues and fights? Who has cuts and bruises? Whose eyes are red? Everyone who stays up late, having just one more drink. Don't even look at that colorful stuff bubling up in the glass! It goes down so easily, but later it bites like a poisonous snake. You will see weird things, and your mind will play tricks on you. You will feel tossed about like someone trying to sleep on a ship in a storm. You will be bruised all over, without even remembering how it all happened. And you will lie awake asking, "When will morning come, so I can drink some more?" - Proverbs 23.29 I think this is enough.

[JOYnet] Storms of Life
God is with you all. My dear friends, It is impossible to avoid the storms of life. A death in the family. A friend's suicide. A miscarriage or stillbirth. Terminal diseases. A paralyzing accident. Unemployment. Broken relationships. An obusive home life. Trouble in school. We get hurt. We're shocked! We panic. We stress out. The appostles did the same thing and Jesus was right there, sleeping through it all. Yeah, sometimes it seems like God is sleeping right through our difficult times - like we've been abondoned. But then Jesus arises and stretches out his powerful hands, and the storm passes. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to help us keep our boat on course. And when we think we're drowning, we have to remember that he's there to calm the storm. - student bible with lots of lov & prayers smiju joseph, abu dhabi ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Taxi Driver
I studied two good manners from my JY cell which I always use in taxi. First one is when entering into taxi I greet the driver (most from Pakistan) and asking him 'How are you brother?' (in Urudu) and second one while getting out I say 'God bless you' to the taxi driver and I always tried to sit in friend seat so he can get a friendly feeling. It gives me pleasure when I am alone with my God in my church. Simply staring at crucified Jesus... thinking of his love... speaking to Jesus in Blessed Sacrament. At this particular time he teaches me simple prayers. That day Jesus taught me a new prayer. "Jesus... teach me your love." When I walked, each foot of mine printed on the ground... "Jesus... teach me your love." When I got into taxi my soul repeated "Jesus.. teach me your love." After greeting and all I kept my mouth shut because I concentrated in the prayer. Suddenly the driver (Pakistani) asked: "You Christian ?" "Yes" "You from Kerala ?" "Yes". A little disturbance to my prayers. So I turned my face from the driver and looked outside. "hmm.. your 'urudu' is not good" I kept silence. "In Kerala muslims are more ?" "No. Most of them are Hindus, then muslims and then Christians" "Which religion is good? Muslim or Christian or Hindu ?". Oh! God. He is trying to trap me. Because most of the conversations with a Pakistani ends in an argument. What should I say to this 'Pattani'?. Last I said : "According to me Christianity is the best" without looking into his face. While waiting for his response I increased the speed of my prayers. But he was in silence. Then the next question came with a difference. "Do you know what this is ?" This time I turned my head to see what was in his hand. It was a small locket. When I looked again I saw picture of Jesus Christ in it. I looked at him in wonder. Then he took a beautiful blue rosary and showed me. I didn't believe him. I thought that someone missed it in the taxi. "Whose this all?" I asked. "Whose this Taxi ?" He asked me. "It is yours". I said "Then ?" "Are you Christian?" "I don't know who I am? But one thing I know... I love Jesus and Mary very very much" Now it was interesting to talk to him. When I came back to office I was filled with spirit. Was in tears. And that is the way Ali -the taxi driver taught me how to love Jesus again and again with my full strength. Praise Jesus. Praise Our Lord Our God. with lots of lov & prayers smiju joseph, abu dhabi ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

Re: [JOYnet] drinking alcohol
God is with you all. Our Lukas wrote : excess use of alcohol is sin. Do it mean that a little use of alcohol is not a sin ? Which is better, Using alcohol a little or totaly avoiding it ? I think that we cannot compare excess use of alcohol with excess use of food. In the case of excess use of alcohol we cannot predict what a person is goint to do. Am I right Mr. Lukas ? There are people who agrees and disagrees with the usage of alcohol. The world is like that! And we all are the light of the world. Tomarrow nobody should say that I saw one Joynetter drinking there so I drank this full bottle. And we won't get a single chance to advice him. Live with the word of God. We are the light of the world. We are in the world but not from of the world.

Re: [JOYnet] Drunkenness is not a Sin?
Praise our Lord... our God. Me too heard priests teaching Drunkenness is not a sin. I heard this at the time of Holy Mass. It irritated me. But I am not the person to speak against a priest (Acts 23 : 5). Prayers can do more.

[JOYnet] "What's So Special About Mary?"
God bless you. My dear friends, "What's So Special About Mary?" Just read this... John : So why is the Virgin Mary so special of all the saints? Paul : Because her "yes" to God was the beginning of our salvation, the moment the Holy Spirit conceived Jesus in Mary's womb. Jesus took his humanity from Mary. Mary was his mother. He obeyed her. He loved her. And she loved him more than anyone else ever loved him. (Generally, who loves a child more than his own mother?). John : Are you saying that Mary was closer to Jesus than anyone else? Paul : Absolutely. As the mother of Jesus (Mary conceived Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit), Mary was more united to God than anyone who has ever lived. Not even Moses had this kind of relationship with God. He carried God's Commandments on stone tablets. Mary carried the author of those Commandments in her womb! Moses obeyed God. But in the little home in Nazareth, the Son of God obeyed his mother Mary! And then, don't forget that Jesus entrusted John and all of us to Mary as he was dying on the cross. John : But God is God, and Mary is just a creature. Paul : That's right, she is only a creature, and anyone who says Mary is anything more than a creature is committing idolatry. But nonetheless, some of God's creatures become more united to God than others, and Mary united herself completely to God. That unity with God makes her prayers especially powerful. Remember the Wedding at Cana (John 2.1-11)? They ran out of wine, and Mary asked Jesus for a miracle. Even though he resisted at first, he changed the water into wine because his mother had asked him to help. In heaven, Mary still asks Jesus to help us in many ways, and Jesus says "yes" to his mother like any good son would. John : Well, does all this mean that I should always pray to the saints, and never to God? Paul : Of course not! You should always pray directly to God. And then you should also ask others on earth and the saints in heaven to pray for you as well. All of those prayers are ultimately directed to God, who alone holds the power to answer them. -Student Bible- with lots of lov & prayers smiju joseph, abu dhabi ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] An Angel Walking In The Rain!!!
An Angel walking in the rain!!! --- My loving friends, Thanks for your prayers. Really I had a starting trouble in this particular matter... all I like to write about is, how a joynetter helped my family and me... mainly my sister. I think you know that I am in Abu Dhabi and my family is far away from me. 2 weeks before I was chatting with my family thru phone, I was in a happy mood, my mother said me my sister have some problem in ovary and may she under go surgery. My father said it in one way and my mother said it in another way. The news disturbed me too much and left more doubts and confusions. Actually what happened to my sister? On the other end mother said nothing to worry... I said I am OK... but I was really worried. Whole night with tears I prayed to Mother Mary. Do you know why most of the people are coming to Arab Countries? Off course, to make money... may be to build good house or to earn money for their kids or for sister's marriage. I felt my dreams about my sister vanished thru my tears. For hours only darkness filled my eyes. At last I surrendered to Jesus. Jesus! I beg your kindness, every thing should happen as per your wish. My cell members started praying. Jesus youth started praying. How can I know what is the actual situation of my sister. 2 days later while I was praying, one name came into me. It was the name of a person who was an active member JoyNet. I am from Ernakulam, Kerala and this person was also from Ernakulam so I thought it is easy to her to meet my sister. I knew she is busy, but I requested to my unseen JoyNet friend to help me, to know the real situation of my sister. She agreed and she took address and phone number from me. Later one mail came to me... "Smiju... I called your mother, I talked with your sister... they are so... so!!!... I will go and meet them". I was so happy... an unseen girl at the other end helping unseen Smiju. It is only because she loves my Jesus very much and ready to do any thing for Him. And another mail came on St. Thomas Day evening: "Smiju... I went to your home... a surprise visit. I saw your sister... your mother... nothing to worry about your sister. She is ok. Your mother is so loving (Yes. I know really she is) She gave me 'kappa and tea'... It was really nice...(Note :- It is now the third year for me away from my mother... really I forgot the taste of her tea)... letter continues like that and it is filled with love and joy. They prayed together. She prayed for my sister Smitha. The whole evening she was with my family. When she left my house... It was dark and rainy. Away in her home... her mother (she calls 'Amma') was waiting for her with prayers... And here I can imagine a girl... no... not a girl... An Angel walking in the rain!!! And her name is... Priya!!!. Thank you Miss. Priya... my invisible friend in Jesus... for visiting my home and sharing your self to my family.

[JOYnet] Computer Games & Sexual Temptations
God bless you all. My Dear JYs, When I started thinking about writing this part of my life... there started the trouble. I planned this months before but before 4 days only I was able to start composing and I was disturbed very much physically and mentally. Thanks for your prayers. Read this. In my early life I was an addict to Computer Games. In 90s I was crazy with wolf3D, Prince of Persia, Doom, Mortal Combat etc. etc. I remember the days up to 1 a.m. a played in my office. Stopping all my works. My Mother waited me at the entrance of my house in that darkness. I could clearly identify her shadow from far, in the light coming from the lamp before the picture of Jesus. That was one of the times I really felt the love of my mother. When my mother asked, I said "Ammachi... there is too much work in office." She was proud, because I was 'hard working' for family. On those days when I closed my eyes to sleep I saw only images, from games that I played, mostly from 'Doom'. Those images hunted me all the times, when I was trying to concentrate on prayers, Bible, Mass. It affected my daily life, my work. When I looked into artworks and layouts, I saw only fires, guns, and virtual persons. But I never stopped games and I was sinking, without knowing I am. As a young youth at that time it was not a matter for me (I thought so) that sexual desires came into me. I let my imaginations to grow wild and wild. My paintings slowly started to communicate sex and mysteries. Mistakenly I thought all the artists should be like this. God knew, I was wrong. He stopped all my activities (It is another experience). God planted me in UAE. I came to JY meetings and JYnet. And still I went crazy with Computer Games. This time it was "Age of Empires". I really was crazy playing that game. It takes days to finish one campaign and I finished all the campaigns of 'Rising of Rom', 'Age of Kings', 'Age of conquerors' - these all are different versions of 'Age of Empires'. And I can say that it was on of the excellent game I ever played. Actually I was not aware that I was sinning. When I was trying to grow spiritually I prayed, "Jesus please take away my unwanted and sexual thoughts" I talked with some of my friends. They said "It is difficult to totally remove sexual thoughts from a person's mind because we are men... not angels". One day at the time of Mass Jesus asked me "Do you know from where these thoughts are coming from?" "I don't know my Lord" "It's from computer games, which you play. Stop it now and promise me that you will never touch that CDs." "I Promise" Then my brain worked properly and I knew that the images from the games are directly stored in to the brain which will replace or hide the images and thoughts of God and related to Him and steals my free times. If the thoughts and images of Jesus is erased from my brain what will happen? Then I am opened to the world without armors and world can easily attack me. (Read Mathew 12:43-45) After the promise to Jesus, first one month was very difficult without game, but I succeeded quitting games. I was happy and every thing was ok. Now what I will do with these CDs? I was installing a computer in one of our customer's home. Then one small boy came to me and asked "uncle... uncle... do you have any game CDs with you?" I was so happy to give my CDs because if it is with me perhaps it will put me in trouble. I said "Yes I have lot of CDs... Did you ever played age of empire..." "No" "You should play. It is a very good game. Actually in that game you take a role... "What role...?" "Taking the role of... what can I say... it is like taking the role God". Something disturbed my mind but I was unaware of what I am going to do. "Really. Is it good game?... When you will give"? "Today after noon... OK". After lunch I planned to take the CDs to the boy. Suddenly a bold voice came out "Smiju, what are doing?" I was silent and slowly the picture was so clear to me. "I told you to bring souls... and now... Now you started spoiling souls". "Jesus... I am sorry... Jesus..." "Now it is your choice... you can do anything what you want to do" It was the first time I ever broke a CD with my hand. Broken pieces scattered on my bed. "Don't think that every body is weak as you are." Biju (roommate) said. "It is none of your business... It is something... with my Jesus". He stared at me for a while and then smiled... a blessed smile. I was busy breaking CDs and throwing to bin. "My kisses Smiju" "My kisses Jesus" - I closed one of my route to sin which I found and may be you can. If you can make kids aware of the dangerous of compu

[JOYnet] RE : Real love... Thanks... waiting for more...
Real Love -- How do we know when love is real? Try this one out. Replace the word love with the word 'I', and then read this passage. Love is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud, or rude. Love isnt selfish or quick tempered. It doesnt keep a record of wrongs that others do. Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil. Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful. (1 Corinthians 13. 4-7) Am I patient, kind, not jealous, and not snobbish? Then use your boyfriends/husbands or girlfriends/wifes name and read the passage to see if he/she doesnt brood over injuries or rejoice in what is wrong. Lastly, put in Jesus name and read the whole passage again. Thats what real love is all about. I thank my friends for inserting new thoughts in my brain. Awaiting more...

[JOYnet] Re : Emotion... True Love
God Bless you all. Dear JYs, Today the first thing i did is searching the word meaning for 'emotion' in Dictionary. It says 'emotion' is 'strong feeling'. Now listen Mr. Kurian, Ms. Irma, we all are saying the same thing in different words. As per your view true love is a decision. That means you decided to love. After that ...? As a Christian we all decided to love each other. After that... ? Making a decision to love instead of hating is only the first step of love. After that, our mind and soul go through certain process to reach into true love. It may take a second or a long time. There we start to love, which includes emotions and practices. God likes expressed love not depressed love. If you have strong love express it. For me Love is not only a decision. Love doesn't end in emotion. Love is a decision to a journey... A journey from emotional love to practical love! Hugging to sacrificing... Kissing to dieing. Till the end I don't like to loose the emotional love. I like to refresh this journey every day. Emotional love keeps my soul fresh. And gives strength to do practical love and people can realise my love (when the time comes). St. John's love is emotion mixed up with practical. Jesus loved him very much. Whenever St. John opened his mouth he called us children, always said about love. Did you ever watch the love of child to a child? It is emotional mixed up with practical love. And we call it childish!!! We --society-- have a concept about love and we hesitate to think beyond that. That is why society called early Christians "Crazy People". Note: Emotions can be generated without true love or without the intention of soul. And with the help of Holy Spirit only we can distinguish between true emotions and fake emotions. Before that don't under estimate others. Now... Ms. Irma, in 1 Corinthians 13 - St. Paul is not against emotions. He is not giving a definition to love (It is already defined by Jesus Christ). He says about 'emotions without love'. Emotions without love may harm you. But emotions, which erect directly from true love, will always help you to grow in love. To know more about true love we should open our heart. Like a country unconditionally opening its borders to other nations, including its enemies. The above said could only express 25% of what my heart tries to say. Studying from children is better than reading my letter. Some of my theories may be wrong according to your viewpoint. If so please share, I can learn. If good I can change.

Re: [JOYnet] The Role of Emotions...
God bless you all. What is true love?. It is a kind of feeling which cannot be explained. And Ms. Irma said that true love is not emotion. Right. But True love includes emotions. If a boy is begging at me for food. The first thing i will do is... i will kiss him or hug him or anything which can symbolize my love. (This is emotion), and here the boy will come to know somebody is caring him. The second is i will give food. or i can give love and food together. The boy is mentaly and physicaly satisfied. Love includes, emotions, practicals, acceptance etc.. Ms. Irma, with out emotions, how you are going to express ur love ? True love has emotions which streams out from the soul. with lots of lov & prayers smiju joseph, abu dhabi Get your free @yahoo.co.uk address at http://mail.yahoo.co.uk or your free @yahoo.ie address at http://mail.yahoo.ie ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Seeing Is Believing
My friends... God Bless You all. Why do (insert your name here) believe? Becuase my parents told me to? Becuase my teachers taught me to? Do I really believe or just know what everyone else has told me? There comes a time when each one of us has to find out the truth about life, faith, and God by ourselves. We have to "own" our faith. We can only do that by seeking Jesus ourselves, in ways that are comfortable for us, with the help of the Church and other believers. When we see God with our own eyes of faith, then our faith will be our own.

[JOYnet] Loving Enemies
God sends his blessings to all my JYs. %% Man, I hate that guy. Every time I say hi to him, he just keeps walking and doesnt say a word. Guys got a serious attitude problem. Do you have an enemy like this, or even worse? Well, Jesus had some things to say about that person we hate. He said to love him (or her)! Notice, he didnt just say like your enemies. He said love them. Is he out of his mind? No, hes God. And anybody should have a complaint about someone (especially about us), it should be him. After all, our sins--yours and mine--crucified him! But Jesus loves us nonetheless. And he wants us to do the same. That means being respectful, understanding, helpful, and giving without expecting anything in return--not even a hello. Remember not to judge. You never know why a person acts the way he or she does. Only God knows. And Jesus tells us to love, no mater what. The rest is up to him.

God bless u all How awful it is when people sin even while they meet together for the Eucharist. We should honor God with out thoughts, words, and actions at all times, but especially when we meet to worship him. To truly worship God, we need to have him on the throne, not ourselves, and to love one another as he showed us in the Last Supper. with lots of lov & prayers smiju joseph, abu dhabi Get your free @yahoo.co.uk address at http://mail.yahoo.co.uk or your free @yahoo.ie address at http://mail.yahoo.ie ** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
