GOT ANY FRESH BREAD?
A recent high school youth group reunion brought my youth pastor, Dan Gute, across my path again after years. I was reminded of his frequent request for "fresh bread" - something God had done or shown us in the past week. We can all tuck some spiritual nuggets away to pull out whenever there is a time to share, but Dan only allowed us to share something if it was fresh. He was encouraging us to keep our walk with God current and to never be satisfied with by-gone experiences with God.

We all are eager to leave the failures of the past behind, but his weekly request for fresh bread let us know that even our victories start to smell stale if we aren't walking with God each week. As the summer winds down and the busy fall winds up - make sure you've got some fresh bread to share. I'm sure it's been a great summer full of great stories - but what has God done or showed you this week? Want to share your "fresh bread"?

CONTINUING EDUCATION - YES OR NO?
"In my church I've expressed interest in pursuing a Master's Degree, but my Senior Pastor is somewhat against it," shares SpencerClick in the Kidology Network Forums. "So how about where you are? Are advanced degrees encouraged, pursued? Do you think they are important?"

MOVIE REVIEW: THE SIMPSONS MOVIE
"The Simpsons creator Matt Groening finally decided the time was right to put Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and the rest of the town of Springfield onto the big screen via The Simpsons Movie," writes Kidology CP Team member Jeramy Chapman. "The result? A movie that parents will probably take kids to and be quite shocked at just how far the writers were willing to push the envelope."
