What's Up???

Ok..Ok…so does anyone even look at this blog? Maybe Heather, is she the only one? I’m just wondering because no one has complained about me not writing anything…
So, not that I got that out of my system…I’ll update you on a few things that are going on in Colby. We went to Youth Camp a week ago, it was a great bonding and learning experience with our teens. The M.O.B. is starting its transition time with our group, we have a lot of kids who are either going into 6th or 7th grade this year. Instead of the huge gap in ages, the kids all hung out and got to know each other!!
This year the theme was, Under The Surface. The speaker, Ryan Brinson, challenged the teens to realize that Salvation isn’t just a free ticket to heaven, but more of a life changing event that starts on the inside. God was really moving and many things have stuck in the kids minds.
Tomorrow, or rather today is Youth Sunday…it should be a really good service, and I don’t even have to preach. We have two teens who went on missions trips, one to Peru and one to Chicago who are talking. Nine teens sharing about youth camp, and their decisions they made. We have three skits, one that was written by one of the teens, it’s titled Mission Possible (that’s our theme for this year.) One playing the piano and one playing the violin. Also, we are leading worship with just a guitar!!
Now us…Becky is officially done with Subway…I think?!?!?!?! She has applied for a Para job at the grade school, and we are praying that this will happen for her. We just keep remembering that God is in control and that He will take care of us!!!
She has two doctor appointments back to back in August on the 7th and 8th, on here and on in Hays.
We go to Praise Gathering in Salina next Sunday, at least we can go and hang out with other Youth pastors!! It would be nice if I was getting ordained but hey, maybe next year.
As for me, I am actually surprising a few people. You see, I am kind of a procrastinator…Who knew?? Well anyways, with the help of Becky and our friends Joey and Jill, I have my Wednesday night Youth Group lesson planned through June!! Yeah, that’s not a typo it says June as in 2007. Last thought for tonight, how cool is it to get paid to take teens to an amusement park…that’s what we are doing Tuesday…Six Flags Denver!!!
