This first survey is only 10 questions. Thank you!

The Votes Are In!

noreply@blogger.com (Cody) — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 18:09:00 +0000

After a long race and months of campaigning the final vote for the TREK T-shirt design was held and tabulated last Sunday night. The results were very close, so close that an automatic recount was triggered. The results of the recount were again very close so a recount of the recount was accomplished to verify the verified results which ratified the initial results of the vote.

So please offer congratulations to Mikayla R. for her design, seen above, and thank you to all who took the time to submit designs, they were are great! Also thank you to all who exercised their voting privileges in this event.

Cody's Creepers Exposed!

noreply@blogger.com (Cody) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:42:00 +0000

Hey Everyone!
My security camera in my office finally paid off! Here are the "Cody Creepers" caught red handed in the act of stealing stuff from my office. Check it out!! :) hahaha

Here is the story as I have determined thus far. As I mentioned in a previous posting, I had some items taken from my office and photographed in various locations around town in mid July. I have received of 8 emails from the Creepers, which was incredibly fun to try and figure out who it was. I have to admit I was a bit confused because of the time it took between the pictures being taken and the pictures actually being sent to me but the ring leaders are all visible above. They are Rochelle (my beautiful wife), Lisa (hiding in the doorway), Emily (sticking out her tongue), Ellen (imitating a squirrel), and Aleida (pretending she is on the Calvin Football team). In my next post I will share how I found out this scheme.

TREKKING: Oct 8

CREEPY Alert

noreply@blogger.com (Cody) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:58:00 +0000

Some of you may have heard that there have been a series of break-ins at office by the relatively unknown photo prankster, "Cody Creepers." Initially I was quite worked up about these break-ins and the resulting photos (examples shown below).

I reported these happenings to a contact working at the F.B.I. who was able to quickly and easily send me the origin of the email transmissions that delivered these disturbing pictures to my address. Below you will see the Satellite Photo of "Cody Creeper's" residence. In case you read this post Mr. Creepers, if that IS your real name, you are being watched.

Revelation: WEEK 2

noreply@blogger.com (Cody) — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:45:00 +0000

You've got some mail, Smyrna! And it is straight from the mouth of Jesus himself. I would like to encourage everyone to read through our passage with their families before Sunday night and ask TWO questions:

How is Jesus described in this passage?
How does Jesus encourage and challenge the church in Smyrna?

REVELATION: Week 1

noreply@blogger.com (Cody) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:32:00 +0000

Have you ever read the book of Revelation?

Most of us have checked it out, but we get lost in the images and visions and don't know what to do with it. Over the next several weeks we will open up the book of Revelation and explore how God challenges us in the letters that the Apostle John was told to write to the seven churches.

This week we will explore Revelation 2 and the letter to the church in Ephesus.

Fall Fest Fun

noreply@blogger.com (Cody) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:02:00 +0000

If you missed the Fall Fest last Saturday night, you missed a great time! The weather again this year was awesome (until 6:30pm), and it was so much fun to watch people get dunked in the Dunk Tank again. That has to be one of my favorite parts of the Fall Fest each year. Although it was also A LOT fun launching FamJam shirts into the crowd with a water balloon launcher too. haha.

Katie L. exclaiming her amazement at how warm the water is! :)

Amanda is an old pro on the dunk tank platform now.

NEW IDEA

noreply@blogger.com (Cody) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 05:08:00 +0000

Ok, here's the deal...I have realized that i have a difficult time keeping the website updated so I have decided that I am going to try and use this blog through blogger. If anyone has a problem viewing this page, please let me know immediately. I am hoping this will help give me a bit more incentive to update because it will be a bit more fun, so we will see how it works. I will try to update this weekly, especially in regard to our weekly messages with challenges or different observations the Lord has blessed me with or with some goofy anecdote (that's a story) that happens to me.

That is my goal, so if you have any thoughts let me know what you think. pastorcody@calvarycrc.net
