Dear family,

               God is good I am glad to find things to praise Him about weekly. Here are the fun things our youth shared this week. Tuesday night, OK, this one went above most of the kids’ heads. A middle schooler wanted us to pray about her dad’s upcoming colonoscopy. An older person ended up with that request. He prayed everything would come out smoothly. (It did, dad is fine.)

               Wednesday night there was more angst about Bobby having accidentally shredded some of the students’ paperwork. Candy is on the line here. One student wanted to bring his paperwork in again and get candy again like Devlin. Bobby was sure that this student had already brought his in (and it hadn’t been shredded) so he went to check. Meanwhile the student complained that Devlin got two candy bars because his had been shredded. Bobby came back with the book of papers. “I have one of yours and two from Devlin.” Oh, the outcry! Bobby deflected the entire process by starting a new subject. “The world cannot handle two of you!” This was agreed upon and the outcry was squelched. (Names have been changed to protect the guilty.)

               Sunday School time was very pleasant. Our youth are so fun to be with even with Bobby and the middle schoolers gone on a retreat. I enjoy, “The Bible is funny” card game very much and wish I had recorded more. This is the only one, it’s hilarious because it’s so unlikely. “The vibe of my friend group.” 1 Samuel 1:14, “How long are you going to be drunk?”

               Bobby came back from Middle school retreat, tired, safe and sound. He’ll be preparing for a pastors retreat at Seaside next weekend. Pray for his stamina as he wants to paint the youth room as well. Or just pray that he has wisdom and sleeps when he can. (And that he doesn’t get sick.)

               Thank you for your love and prayers.

PS I had to take that picture because it was hilarious how big the cards were.
