Bright Lights

Sylvia and Cecily here, (Sylvia sick in bed and Cecily in Sylvia's room, on the laptop computer from the great room)

The day before yesterday we went to Bright Lights. It's being led by a girl named Allison. It was a really neat program!!! After we prayed we sang a couple of the songs from the Bright Lights songbook: Bright Lights and Higher Ground. Then we played a game to get people to know each other better. Next was the lesson, which was about not being a typical teenager. We made up a long list of words we think of when we hear the word teenager. Some of these were: wild, cell phone, disrespectful, immodest, and crazy. Then we talked about how God has much better things in store for us than what the world does. Allison illustrated her point by putting water, dirt, hand lotion, vinegar, and a lot of other things in a plastic bowl and sirring them together. It looked and smelled horrible. Next she put a rose in the bowl and showed it to everyone. It was dripping with greenish, grayish, brownish gooey yucky stuff. This shows how we can be perverted by the world. Then she showed us a clean rose and asked us which one we wanted to be. The perfect rose is harder to be but it is worth it. Last of all we drank tea and ate cookies. They were very very tasty.

There is a blog post on our Bright lights group website about this meeting, and you might want to read it! Here's the link: http://www.brightlightsofallon.blogspot.com/
She has some great pictures on there; I (Sylvia) had a seat at the wrong angle and so didn't get many good pictures. Also, my camera was acting up. It didn't like the lighting in that room.
