I posted this on the Project Blue Water Site for the Teen Girls in our church but thought it was interesting for us as well.

It was a Modesty Survey taken from and by guys. It is definitely worth looking at for not only for yourself but also in training your girls :)

It took me a bit to figure out how to get the results, but it is easy once you  get the hang of it.

Part of the preparation of Passover is to clean the house from top to bottom looking for leavened bread.  This is a great time of reflection and spring cleaning. Every year we add a little bit to this plan. In the past, we have used the week before to prepare our house. In Jewish culture, this preparation can take weeks. We are trying to do this as well. Here is the schedule we are following to prepare for the King of Kings and His death and Resurrection. While doing this you can be meditation on preparing the true temple and house of God, your heart. It is important to dig deep in your heart and ask God to show the area’s where leaven may be hidden.

1 Corinthians 5:7     Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
