Playin with fire

literally...

so last night at youth i did one of my favorite lessons and the youth i've done it with before have all always thoroughly enjoyed it.
i did my post secret lesson. where i have the kids write down and staple shut an index card. one with a secret one with a prayer.
then we lit them ablaze....in the church (but we honestly did try outside the church, the wind was just not permitting)

the kids were a bit apprehensive about writing down a secret at first but once they saw we were burning them several sighed a sigh of relief.
we then judged puppet try outs for the younger kids. it was nice.

i can connect!

i never realized how much i use the internet until i had to do without the internet. my last mlgw bill got charged a late fee since i didn't see my bill notice that is sent to my e-mail, i had no idea how much money was in my checking or savings account since i could no longer access my accounts online AND most importantly i got my silybi (sp??) late since all my courses are seminar style and updates and information are all sent via e-mail.

so i drove into town (millington) and have sat down and over taken a corner of the local starbucks and am using their wi-fi.

i'm quite proud of myself. i've completed a good deal of reading both from my history of Christianity and my bible (both required txts for this class.)

i had a meeting with my boss today. apparently they are worried if i can handle the 'girl drama' of the youth group. we'll see....i've delt with what i believe to be far worse.

i miss all my youth at mullins but this is a new door that has been opened since the other one has been closed.
