Abstinence “Not Realistic At All”

Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, made headlines last summer when it was revealed that she was about to become an unwed mother.  On December 27, she gave birth to a baby boy named Tripp… At the same time the pregnancy was made public last summer, Bristol’s mom had just been [...]

Gon’ Skiing

Yes folks it is that time of year again. The annual Fairview Baptist Church Ski trip, I mean, Winter Retreat! (We told the kids to tell their teacher that so they wouldn’t get in trouble for missing school!)

Time for youthful mischief and play and time for the chaperones to yell at them for it. All in [...]

Video Game Junkie

Video games have affected all walks of life. I don’t know many people under the age of 40 who do not  or never have played a video game. I will say the 30-40   do not become junkies, although I am sure there are a few out there. The weirdest thing [...]

Role Models For Who?

If it’s the sign of the times, then I’m really feeling old. I was doing some “culture research” this past week on MTV and caught a glimpse of this movie trailer. Needless to say, I am no longer disgusted, angry, or  offended by the stupid, banal, and immature movies and television shows [...]

Herding Cats

I love teaching. I love teaching youth. I love teaching youth and watching the lightbulb come on when they get it. This happens 2% of the time. The other 98% is a lot like the video below illustrates. Thanks to Tim Schmoyer for the link.

Guy Night

Friday night was Guy Night for the youth at my church. There has been much speculation as to what has gone on at Guy Night, but all the details cannot be revealed. Some of our activities included: egghead jousting( each guy puts a leg from pantyhose on their head, we place an egg under the [...]

See You At the Pole!

 
An intresting article from Jonathon McKee’s blog
Yesterday morning was an event called “See You at the Pole” (SYATP). Thousands of Christian kids around the country gathered around the flagpoles at their schools to pray… or… to take a stand… it really depends on the group.

I didn’t even mention the [...]
