Jayme Green told me this during our lunch today at Jersey Mikes. We had a pretty good lunch. He told me the story of how he and Meagan met, we talked about his upcoming bike ride to raise funds for his nephew Granton, and we discussed church relations prior to the Franco-Prussian War. We didn't discuss the third one, but the other two are completely legit. If I had lunch with Matt Bevens the third one would have made an appearance. 2 things became evident about Jayme from this meeting: 1) He is a popular guy, one of Jersey Mikes favorite customer 2) the guy has some wisdom.
Tonight's lesson was on boredom again. Once again we started by discussing our most boring experience and the things we do to discontinue the monotony. Then we played my favorite boredom stopping game: the dot game. Boys vs. Girls. Once again the guys were outdone, by a smarter, more gifted, group of girls. It was an inevitable outcome. The game was really decided well before it began.
My lesson was a lot of open ended questions, which were misidentified by the students as rhetorical. Needless to say, the
main point was that Jesus doesn't want us to be bored in our faith. Something felt amiss. Call it lack of logical thinking, call it misapplied time: what ever it was our lesson gave the kids a new boring experience. That is probably melodramatic.Highlights from the lesson:
Girls won the game.
Ian Keen made up a new word.
Aaron Jones, Jason Hildebrandt, Stacy Rexer, and Tricia Martens make this youth group a worthwhile experience even for me.
No one was hurt in our after party in the parking lot. The Trashcan game, football, and dodge ball were unhindered by injury.
Cool thing: Gage Casey is almost done with Pilgrims Progress, a book that I had trouble getting through as a college freshman.
Last Cool thing: High School State Finals Rodeo is here this week...a possible trip to Cowboy Church for Sunday school is in the future
