Your final project will be due next Wednesday during advisory. Here are the instructions for your last project:
Make a collage using words, pictures, etc. illustrating your "crazy love" after reading the book. Be creative. It needs to be half a poster size. You can include your view of God's love or your love for Him.
If you have questions see me or Mrs. Haynes. I hope you have enjoyed this book and will read it again. I feel that it has been very applicable in my own life and that I will continue to love like crazy!

Chapter 8 and 9
Hey girls.. Just a few more chapters. I hope you have really been able to learn more about God's love for us and that this book has challenged you in many areas of your life. I cannot believe how fast the summer has flown by! We will be posting more about your final project in the next few weeks!
Chapter 8:
I want you to pick three descriptions of the "obsessed" and describe how you have maybe seen this in your own life and how it can be applied to your daily walk.
Chapter 9:
In this chapter there are many stories of those who are "obsessed" with Jesus Christ. They are all known because of what they have done for Christ. What do you want your life to be known for? Be radical in your thinking. What would be the most radical thing you could do for Christ?
We will see you all soon!
Love you all!!

I Love Love
Chapters 6 and 7
"The answer lies in letting Him change you".p.103
"I need God to help me love God." p.104
"We should be the ones begging to worship in His presence" p.109
"What does running toward Christ and pursuing Love look like in daily life?" p.114
These are a few of the phrases in chapters 6 & 7 that I underlined and made notes beside in my book as I was reading. If you are not highlighting, underlining and writing in your book... get a pen and read it again!
Chan gives us so much to think about and so many scriptures that apply to what he is sharing. For this response I want you to share 3 or 4 statements or scriptures from chapters 6 & 7 that you underlined or that stood out to you and tell us about how it impacted you, why you highlighted it, what notes did you write in your book and/or what is God speaking into your heart through these words. I know this might be personal but God could use your heart to reach another. Share what you feel comfortable sharing and know that what is posted here will stay here :)
The summer is flying by and we will all be in school together soon. I hope you are having a wonderful, restful, adventurous and FUN summer! I hope you are learning to fall in love with our Lord! I LOVE LOVE and I LOVE YOU!

Chapter 2,3/ Post #2
Chan explains the "movie of life" in chapter two. He says most of us think the movie of life is about us, but in reality we are the very brief scene in HIS movie--from the time Jesus ascends to Heaven to the time we will all worship Him. So this leaves us with "two-fifths of a second to live" according to Chan. What does this mean to you and what do you want your "two-fifths of a second" to be about? (pg. 42,43)
Second question:
What would be your response to this question found in chapter 3?
"Why would a loving God force me to love Him?"
"The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing God treasures us." Francis Chan
July 6th post: read chapter 4,5
Love you all!!!

A Few Reminders:
Hey girls! So we are all in summer mode right now and I wanted to remind you all of a few things. Please make sure to sign off using your first and last names. We have several of you with the same names, so it will help us out if you can do that for grading purposes. Also, there seems to have been some confusion regarding when you had to respond to the posts. We are going to allow you one week to respond. So when the post goes up next Tuesday the 22nd, you will have to the following Tuesday to respond.
As far as grading is concerned, you will receive more credit if you also respond to other responses. Hope that makes sense! I also sent some of you facebook requests because your email addresses were "bogus" in Mrs. Haynes words. Usually wouldn't do that, but needed to contact some of you to remind you..:)
Hope you are enjoying your summer and trying to stay cool!
Wanted to also give you the schedule of the posts for the remainder of the summer:
June 22nd
July 6th
July 20th
August 3rd
August 17th
Love you all!!!!

Preface/Chapter One-Post #1
Hey girls! Hope you have enjoyed your first few weeks of summer, and the beginning of our book Crazy Love. I wanted to remind you that there is a link on the blog of the chapter videos and highly recommend that you watch those as you enter in to each chapter.
We have read in the preface and beginning of chapter 1 about how big our God really is and Chan invites us to stop and think about Creation in regards to his love towards us. He explains to us that in order to fully know Him and love him we need to be reminded of some of His attributes-"He is holy, eternal, all-knowing, all powerful, fair and just." That loving Him sometimes seems hard and it shouldn't be. So to start off this discussion I want you to think about what is your view of God? Who is he to you personally and then I want you to think about a time where you have experienced the "awe" factor of God.
In your life right now, what is your view of God? Who is He to you personally and has there every been a time where you have experienced this "awe" factor of our Creator that Chan writes about?
I hope that this book challenges you in ways you have not been challenged spiritually and that you allow change to take place. As Chan says, "Change, as we all know is uncomfortable. It is up to you to respond to what you read. But you will have a choice: to adjust how you live daily or stay the same."
For the next post: June 22nd, read chapters 2 and 3
Because there is so much within each chapter for us to absorb, take your time as you read. You might want to go back and re-read a chapter. Take the time to let the information soak in and really be receptive to what the Lord is trying to teach us through Crazy Love. See ya' back in a few weeks!
