Ahhh!

Friday was Jr/Sn banquet. We had a wondermous time. We spent many hours in Bella~Italia and guess what? We even sang with the entertainer/piano guy that was there. Hannah S is EXTREMELY talented and was able to play songs from memory that we sang to. Our party sang their graduation song. The vocals weren't the best but that is ok. We had a great time. After dinner, it was off to bowling. But alas it was not to be. A high school rented out the place so we couldn't get in. I tried to reserve lanes or figure something out and they said you they were not able to do that at all. But wait- are there not two bowling places? Yup there are but when they are both full up your just outta luck. So most of us went to Walmart and had a scavenger hunt. Mucho grande fun!

Last night was youth night. We had a TON of people. There were a bunch of newbies! It was great. The Noom's house is getting too small so I think next month we are going to have it at Mr. Herb's house. Ms. Katie and I were talking this morning and we are going to start having more youth events. Maybe do two or three things a month. We might go bowling or putput or it might be that we just have a prayer/praise& worship meeting. It looks like maybe this summer we are going to have a world view retreat out at "the farm". Yup this is good. We played mafia last night. Any game that you play with ColeE has got to be fun and last night's mafia wasn't any different.

This morning's songs were kinda 'blah' but as time progress so did the quality of things. Today we used a baseball analogy. Hit the ball = salvation/ 1st base= baptism/ 2nd base= regular church person/3rd base= you have your nitch of service / home= true Christain living.
That isn't to say that you are not being sanctified always and that you are being conformed the whole way but it is sort of a growth chart. It isn't the best but it was fairly easy to understand.

I think that soon we are going to make an e-mail loop for our hs youth. That way we can keep up with people and people will be able to suggest things. It is just a good way to stay in contact with people that you don't see except there. I am excited!
