I have not fallen off the face of the earth. It has just been a little crazy around here with Christmas coming up and all. I am helping with two different productions for Christmas and it is starting to really get crazy considering that we have only just a little over a week to be ready. Anyway it has been a while since I last blogbed and there are many things I could talk about but I am only going to vent about one thing. I have this one student in high school that has quit coming to our wednesday night service. This girl has been here the entire time I have been here. Her reason is that there are not enough people her age that come. I totally agree with that. We have way more Jr High than high school (she is in high school). She had talked with me like a month ago about the fact that she would like to have more people her age here. Well her exact words were "you need to get more people here my age". Well I have really done a lot to get high school kids here but the only problem is this. My high school students are not doing anything. I have tried to build some relationships outside of the church but I cannot get my high schoolers to invite anyone to come. I asked this particular girl why she has not invited anyone to come with her (which is really the most effective way to get them here). Well she said that it is because all of her friends already have a church. Ok I understand that but then she says that she was going to miss the next wednesday night because she was going to church with them. Frustration!!! If she won't invite them because they have a church then why does she go with them when she has a church. Needless to say I am slightly frustrated with building up our high school. So right now I have about ten junior high kids and one high school kid. Please pray for me but more importantly pray that the students I have will really get excited about what we are trying to do here and start inviting their friends and even those who are not their friends. Well that is all for now.

Heya Bubba,

You have obviously not updated in a while, but I'm sure you'll get this anyway at some point. How are things now? I sent you a friends request on MySpace, so add me and I'll tell you about stuff at my church.
