I started a site for some of the teens at youth. It is called Word Junkies. We have a very talented bunch of teens and I thought it would be cool to have a spot on the internet that they could share their poetry. So go and check it out. It went live yesterday and there are already a couple of poems.

We were at Hot Hearts this past weekend and it was so awesome. We had junior and senior high students go. It was at Highland Lakes Camp. There were about 500 students from all around that attended Hot Hearts. 33 Miles Christian band was there and they ROCKED the house!!! It was an awesome experience for me because I got to know a couple of the junior high kids a little bit better. I made some connections with them that I hadn’t been able to make before. All I can say about that is God really blessed me this past weekend. Melanie was there as well and she had a great time. It was awesome to get to experience something like that with my wife. It got a little crazy at night though. The room we were in had around 30 bunk beds and they all had someone sleeping in them. I had to get out my trusty iPhone and my noise canceling headphones and I was set. I didn’t hear a thing. Which was good because I know the boys had a blast yelling back and forth….and I didn’t have to hear it. NOTE: those of you looking at sponsoring at a youth camp, look at getting these headphone – Etymotic Research, Inc. – you will not be disappointed. The highlight of the trip, we had 6 students in our group that accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
I would like to ask you to please pray for our youth. Pray that the ones who have accepted Christ, walk with Him, and the ones that are still searching, find Him.

Youth got a little crazy tonight. If it isn’t Ketchup and M&Ms, it is chocolate and sour gummi worms. We played a game called Mother Bird and, well….it was crazy!!!! Check out the photos.
Our youth are really awesome young people and I pray that they realize that and trust in God.
Had around 15 of the guys from youth at my house for an “all-nighter” this past Friday. We had an awesome time. I boiled up some cajun style shrimp, crawfish, sausage, potato, and corn. Played a new game, Rock Band. That is now on the list of games to get! What was really cool is that I am better at playing the guitar than these teens are, and all of them at some point went to sleep….and I did not! Anyways, here are some pictures of the event.
We had youth last night and it was very interesting. Zak came up with a game that involved M&Ms, you know the chocolate little treats, and ketchup. You might be thinking GROSS!!! Well, I can tell you that the smell afterwards was. Here are some pictures of the remarkable event. As you can tell, the students really enjoyed it?!?!?!
