Ok so everyone has been telling me I need to post again, so here we go. I’m not going to make it too long because I know it’s aggravating to read. This past Friday was our 2nd Youth Rally at my school. Compared to the 30 kids we had for our Back to School Bash, this one was crazy. We had about a 100. It was put on by Velocity Youth, the youth group to my dad’s church in Coyell. Well anyway, they did a slammin job getting everything together and stuff. They led some powerful worship, had great dramas, and excellent teaching. At the end of the night there were about 60ish kids at the alter. It was powerful. At one point I went to go pray for my friend Jake and when I was praying for him, he just fell out. It was awesome, thank goodness they had another kid behind him to help me lower him because I’m too weak to do it on my own.

Then last night I went to E.A.’s prom with a girl named Hattie. We had an excellent time. We took pictures at Landry’s Photography, ate at Sullivan’s and then went to the dance. I had a really good time; some of the dancing wasn’t really my thing, but I had a good time none the less. Also, kinda going back to a post I wrote a few months ago, in our group we had a gay couple. At first I was kinda wigged out about it, but when I thought about it, it didn’t matter. I mean don’t get me wrong, I believe it’s wrong, but as far as hanging out and stuff, they’re people too. I got to talk to them both for about 10 minutes at dinner and some when we went bowling. Last night really just showed me, from all the “almost porno dancing” to these two gay guys, that we live in a lost world. There is so much hurt and pain and confusion it’s unreal. It just goes to show you that our work as Christians is desperately needed. We can no longer ignore these things or sit back and think someone else will deal with it. It’s time to love on people and show them the love of God because they are lost and confused and trying to feel the emptiness with all kind of mess. We then went bowling. I had fun. Hattie is a horrible bowler though. J

And finally a plug for Tori. This Friday at 7:00 p.m. at the annex Refuge is showing the Invisible Children dvd. You need to be there; it’s powerful stuff. It’s about the childwarriors in Uganda.
