Dear Family,
Yay
for the rain! Finally, it’s really fall. And our youth have outdone themselves
again. Their humor and word play are ever entertaining and always fun.
At
middle school a young woman was playing with her elbow and loudly said, “Why is
my weenus red? This delightful word means the skin on your outside elbow. It’s
just fun to get a reaction and she did.
During
song time Bobby had to stop after a song to ask another student. “What were you
doing, during the song, behind the chairs?” The student said, “I noticed my
shoes were untied and didn’t want to bang my head on the seat in front of me,
so I went behind the chairs.” Bobby heard, “I was tying my shoes and got
dyslexia?” These entire interactions take seconds, but Bobby had to mention
that maybe doing distracting things should wait till later because although he
is playing the guitar and singing . . . what he is thinking – all at the same
time – is, “What is that person doing?” It’s hard on Bobby. Oh, the woes of being a Youth pastor.
Wednesday
night we had a continuance of one of the lovely recurring themes of our times. Someone
asked Bobby if he was 6 7 and he said, “Always.” A youth piped up with, “No
Bobby’s not sixty-seven. Rich is – sixty-seven hundred.” It’s funny to hear
their take. People are a delight.
Sunday
morning Sunday school was very fun. We played, “The Bible is fun” and my
favorite was, “What would a teacher say?” Hebrews 5:11, “We have much to say
about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to
understand.” We started the book of James and it’s nice to read God’s word
together. Also, I must give a shout out to, “The Bible project” for their
introductory videos that are free on YouTube and in the Bible app. They have
amazing summaries of each book.
May
you enjoy reading God’s words. May you find strength in knowing His will. May
you feel His love flowing in you and through to those you encounter.
Hugs, Cristy
