None of you have children/grandchildren who “sag” their pants but maybe you know of someone who does. This would be a good thing to read at a Youth Program.

Letter from a college student
The other day, a friend of mine was visiting me in the lobby of my dorm just to chat while her laundry was drying. As we were chatting, two young freshmen came by. One of the boys wanted to ‘talk’ to my friend (as in date). She asked him how old they were, and both of the boys replied 18. My friend and I both laughed because we are both 22 years old. After my friend left, the young men were still hanging around and one wanted to know how he could gain her interest.
The first thing I told him to do was to pull up his pants! He asked why, and then he said “I liked saggin’ my pants”. I told them to come over to my computer and spell the word saggin’. Then I told him to write the word saggin’ backwards.

Hate Calls
=========
Voters in key battleground states are receiving automated phone calls from John McCain’s campaign that are spreading some of the most vile smears of this election.
But these “robocalls” — and the hate-filled mailers that usually accompany them — say more about John McCain than they do about Barack.
After all, McCain himself denounced these underhanded and cowardly tactics as “hate calls” after a rash of them sunk his primary campaign in 2000. The perpetrator behind that slimy attack: George W. Bush. Now, not only has John McCain embraced these sleazy tactics, he’s hired the same firm that Bush used against him to orchestrate them.

PONDER THESE THINGS
A Spirituality that Kills
Dr. Ed Young
Winning Walk
Oprah’s mantra “find your own spirit” has become the rally cry of many Americans. The media, our friends, family-and unfortunately, even some pulpits-challenge us to “find our inner strength.”
These words might seem harmless to you, even encouraging and uplifting, but the truth is that these messages have their roots in the New Age Movement…a movement that is a very real danger to you and your family.
It starts by not being able to recognize Satan’s deceptive strategy.
Perhaps you envision him wearing a red cape and carrying a pitchfork…someone who really doesn’t affect your life. If so, he has you thinking exactly what he wants you to think! The devil is deceptive and charming-a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And one of his greatest disguises is in the New Age Movement. Yet, many don’t even realize it!
Do you recognize Satan’s influence in your life? Are you drawn to television shows such as the WB’s Charmed, which depicts the lives of three sisters who happen to be spell-casting witches? Or do your children watch Disney’s That’s So Raven in which the teen heroine has visions?
The popularity of the New Age Movement expressed in a cloak of spirituality is greater than ever…and it means you and I need to arm ourselves with God’s truth. We need to be able to recognize false spirituality-and teach our children about these dangers.
For instance, what comes to mind when you think of New Age? Do you think of palm
