Dear Family,
Youth
group continues to be fun. During lesson
time, when a leader asked, “Do we need to be saved just once?” A teen had to tell his story. He’s been saved six times (prayed the prayer)
and baptized four times (once professionally).
This young man brought up that he’s baptized himself the other three.
I
had to crack up when the kids pushed Bobby several times with, “Are we your favorite youth group?” Finally, he said, “Yeah, sure, whatever.” Then had to mention that one of the kids has
now turned 40 from our first youth group.
We have a lifetime relationship with some people. We can’t say anyone is our favorite
really. But it was funny when the youth
said, “Yes!”
When
Bobby said, “Tell me something that is better when old. We had answers
varying from movies (better than the remake), house “It has memories”, coins,
and Bobby’s favorite was, “Rich”. We
didn’t know him when he was younger but we do know we like Rich now –
especially in his Ripe old age, LOL.
When
Bobby mentioned our youth can volunteer during the church Candy Fest the youth
had questions especially regarding “No scary Costumes”. One person wondered if they could dress as a
Llama. Bobby said that was, “OK.” The youth agreed, “Yeah, I’m sure no one has
PTSD over llamas.”
During
High school group a while back, Bobby switched the candle numbers on Rich’s
treats. This was a silly joke saying
Rich is 65 not 56. One youth said, “It
doesn’t matter. You guys are all pretty
immortal to me. . . Anyone over 40 is.”
Old is old right?
I
enjoyed turning 50 this week. Bobby and
I took some time to rest in Eugene. We
also joined our kids and my parents in Portland for a meal. I love the hugs, laughter and smiles we
share. It is a blessing to gather and be
together.
May
you also enjoy your Birthdays large or small.
May gathering bring happy memories and good time.
Love and hugs,
Cristy
