Chaos

We had our Chaos Junior High Youth Group meeting last night. I gave a group of kids a ride and on the way and we had this thought provoking conversation in the car:

Zach: What are we doing tonight?
Me: Poking each other in the eye with big, sharp needles.
Brian: Sweet! Let's give each other piercings too!
Eric: Yeah! I want nine piercings!
Zach: This could be the greatest meeting ever!

We had a huge group of leaders there yesterday. Shinn has done a great job pulling together a core of leaders for junior high of our ex-high school/now-college students to help lead, and together we have a blast doing this.

Jason was teaching on our image of God, looking at how people view God from the perspective of two comic book characters view of the world - The Green Lantern and The Punisher. Mike Rays and I had the sixth grade boys and we got to hear some hilarious and honest answers. As Jason would talk about a new Super Hero, the same kid would raise his hand and ask, "Is this guy in the Bible?" Mike and I were dying laughing.

I love working with these kids. Their honesty and views of God are so interesting to hear and there in a place where they can be impacted in a big way.
