Isolation and Ice Cream
Ian left youth group tonight 75 cents richer, and all of us left with a little less appreciation of the intelligence that he claims to posses. We had ice cream for snack. Mrs. Keen provided ice cream and cones for all the students. Whitney dripped some onto the front patio of the Church. Jason posed a quarter to anyone who would take a lick of it. Ian was the only taker (as he usually is with most of our dares). How did he get 75 cents you ask; the camera wasn't ready on the first two licks. The third lick provided the photo opportunity that we so desired. Three licks, at a quarter apiece, you do the math.
Since it would be negligent and irresponsible of me to allow the kids to eat ice cream all youth group, we had a short lesson on Isolation. Jesus saves us from isolation by placing us in this community of faith where we are all useful and all cared for. Looking at Acts 4 it says that there was no needy people among them. The church cares for each other, emotionally, relationally, and economically.
The lesson went all right...the games too. we played chicken ball. The girls scored a 6 point goal to win it. The boys were mad. The fact there was no 6 point goal prior to that point is irrelevant. Oh well.
Highlights of the night:
Ian's escapade.
I got to play in the youth band...good times.
Ice cream was good.
