Double Up

Hi all, just thought I'd tell you that Liz and I (Tim) had a baby girl last Saturday! Way cool. And, Steve and Penny (Steve is another contributor to the Vanguard) also had a new bub on the very same day! Double way cool.

Jelly

STOP! This isn't actually a good idea. Whilst there may be some water crystal products that are ok for wrestling, the one we used wasn't. Some kids had a mild rash on their legs the next day (not good). If you try something like this please consult the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) first. Even then, be careful (the MSDS for the product we used said it was not a skin irritant!).

This post isn’t some deep analysis of cultural or theological concepts, it’s just jelly – and lots of it.

Last week we had a jelly night, and it worked really well. Jelly relays, jelly wrestling, jelly fights. You can see some photos on the youth group site.

So here’s the secret of a good jelly night: water crystals.

Water crystals are much cheaper than real jelly (I got 2.5kg of crystals off ebay for $38 delivered. That’s enough for 200L of jelly). You don’t need a fridge to set them (just add water a few hours in advance), and they don’t melt when you wrestle in them.

Introducing Tim Roediger

I'm Tim. This project is the brain child of Dave and myself, but it is our hope that others will be joining us shortly.

I am a Christian, and have been all my life thanks to the grace of God, and the blessing of wonderful Christian parents.

I am married to a wonderful woman called Liz, and we have a one year old daughter Miriam.

I am currently a student at Moore Theological College, but only for another four weeks. Shortly after final exams are done, I'm moving to Nowra, a town two hours south of Sydney to work for Nowra Baptist Church.

I look forward to talking youth ministry.
