Twelve years ago, Matt and Zach were two sixth grade guys in our youth group. They were both quiet, introverted guys who rarely talked to anyone except each other. Brad actually lead a group of these sixth grade (this was when I thought I was above working with junior high kids) boys and we still laugh about the stories. Matt and Zach stuck with the youth group all the way until now (well, Zach is on a break for the past six months) - with both guys helping out as leaders at camp now that they're in college. (The pictures above are freezer bags filled with dead rats).
Matt, Zach and I went to a movie last week to catch up on life and afterwards went out to BW's for wings and a beer. I mentioned to Brad that we were going out for a beer afterwards and his response was "They can't be old enough to drink beer." My response: "Brad, they're 23. You're old." The guys thought the whole idea was funny, asking, "is it weird for you to drink a beer with your kids?" I guess it kind of was for the first few seconds, both most of it was lost what a cool thing it is to have stuck with the same youth group, church and kids for this long.
To add to the whole deal, Zach came over today and fixed the passenger door that Cathie's foot -rope debacle broke.
