The Gathering--Week 4 of the 40 days of purpose
Discipleship: You were created to become like Christ
Three tools God uses to make you like Jesus
1. The bible.
2. The Holy Spirit.
3. Circumstances.
Three choices that will help you become more like Jesus
1. You can choose what you think about.
2. You can choose to depend on God's Spirit moment by moment.
3. You can choose to respond to your circumstances the way Jesus would.
Prep for next week:
- continue to read a chapter a day in the Purpose Driven Life (days 22-28)
- Read John 13:1-17. What lessons about servanthood can you learn from this moving example from the life of Jesus?
- Read, reflect, and meditate on Philippians 2:3-4 this week.
- Read Luke 17:7-10. What does this passage reveal about our relationship to the master?

FUNNY OR JUST PLAIN COOL--Bed Forces Sleepyheads to Rise in Morning
NUREMBERG, Germany (Reuters) - A German schoolgirl has invented a "merciless bed" to ensure that sleepyheads get up in the morning.
The bed gradually raises the mattress after an alarm rings. After five minutes, the sleepyhead is rolled onto the floor.
"I constructed it myself," Iris Koser, 16, said at an exhibition of inventions this week.

CAMPUS NEWS--Sports Report--Christian Heritage versus Biola University women's volleyball game
Biola website: Biola and the Hawks battled back and forth in the first two games, but the Eagles capitalized on tremendous play in the middle to squeeze out two two-point victories. // GSAC Player of the Week Michelle Warkentin continued her outstanding play by hitting at a 36.7% clip with 13 kills and a game-leading five blocks. // But the story tonight was the play of sophomore Sarah Boogaard, who also hit just over 36% and had 15 kills and 15 digs to tie for the team lead in both categories. // Hannah Timboe also rebounded nicely from a sub-par week, tying Boogaard with 15 kills, while senior Amy Cole also tied Boogaard with a team-high 15 digs. // Emily Hethcock led the way for Christian Heritage. Game highs of 16 kills and 17 digs kept the Hawks close for most of the night. Sara Mooney also recorded double digits in digs for the Hawks with 14.
See Biola Volleyball website for the full story.
Laura's take: Well, personally, I know very little about volleyball. The last time I played I was elementary school (yes, back in the 60s!), so there will be no play by play from me. I will say this: I am impressed! Those women throw themselves all over the floor making plays that were just amazing to watch. Both teams played well and played hard. I have a new respect for volleyball players. Elementary school was never like this.

KNOW GOD--RESOURCES FOR WALKING THE WALK
Interview with Dallas Willard, professor of philosophy at USC, on his new book (Renovation of the Heart), brain-wave theory, pop-culture spirituality and the value of “thinking well.”
Here's a quote on his advice for twentysomethings...
Well, my heart really goes out to twentysomethings because of my own children and grandchildren and those I see in my classes every week. I dearly love them. And I guess what I would say [to them] is that there’s a great deal more to be learned about how to live now by how people have lived well in the past, than they can find from their educational institutions. So, they need to look independently, they need to act on their own to find out what are the resources for truly living well; particularly of the Christian church and its past.
