are you an ideas person?
11th September 2009 by Rusty Hodges
One of my favourite movies of all time is the Australian classic ‘The Castle'. I think for those who have seen the movie it is full of memorable quotes. If you have seen it you will remember such things as: "Dad, I dug a hole", "Tell him he's dreaming" and "That's going straight the pool room". The dad in the movie played by Michael Caton is always full of compliments. He praises his wife's cooking and also encourages his kids. One of my favourite quotes is "Dad always said I was an ideas man" (Darryl Kerrigan talking to his hole digging son Dale.)
I want to encourage all you out there who belong to the Newcastle and Central NSW Division by asking you, "Are you an ideas person?" If you have some ideas of what we can be doing in the Newcastle and Central NSW Division we want to hear your ideas.
We are currently planning for next year so if you have any ideas for Youth Councils, Regional Youth Rallies, or anything else you would like us to look just leave a comment or email us your ideas.
No idea is a silly idea. Ok... maybe putting petrol on the bon fire at Youth Councils is a silly idea. Or cramming 35 teenagers in a 10 person spa may be a little out there. But everything else is fair game.
So now you've finished reading this, hit reply and leave us your comments to consider. Stay tuned for more blogs on what's happening in the Division.
Cheers

What about cramming just 34 teenagers into a 10 person spa??
What about holding a Slum Survivor (http://www.tear.org.au/education/slum-survivor/) with the next youth event? Link it in with child sponsorship and Project 1:8 missions and it may just help people get real to the realities overseas and how they can help
Dallas Atkins he's super!! (chtistian comedian) www.dallasatkins.com maybe you could invite him to do a mini preso. We had him do a performance at our corps. He really is great and gets the message across powerfully.
Gidday.
