We Have Awesome Youth Leaders!

So what's up. It is has been awhile I know. But the fall is beginning and so my schedule is getting back to normal and so I find myself blogging once again. Oh, the joy.

So the subject of this blog site is "What's The Youth Pastor Thinking?" and so fittingly I am going to stay with that topic through the Fall. And so if you ever find yourself low on thoughts or wishing you knew what other people were thinking this is the place to go. Because that is what you are going to get, my thoughts. Like it or not. Or if your thoughts aren't working out real well and they keep getting you in trouble or cause you to do stupid things then you can try on my thoughts for a little while and see if they help you out any. They might not, but hey if your thoughts are doing you wrong then it is at least worth a try. And maybe if you try my thoughts your stupid thoughts will see that you are checking out someone else's thoughts and get jealous and start acting really nice just to win you back. Then we could all have good thoughts & that would be nice, wouldn't it?

So, here is what I have been thinking. We (the youth group at HCBC SW) have really awesome youth leaders. Of course we have had a strong tradition of great yout leaders, founded by the dearly loved and even more dearly missed Troy and Stevi. And so sticking with that tradition and building on that foundation God has sent some incredibly sweet people our way. And when I think sweet I don't think sweet like a little puppy sweet, but I think sweet like Travis Pastrana's double back flip in the X-Games motocross best trick sweet. You know the type. And it is true. Bobby & Kristen Kailing, Stan & Lindsey Thomson, Ellie Kirkland, Roger Webb, Gordon Muench, Jason & Beth Carrol, and Krista Box are all as cool as the back side of your pillow. They all love God, love student ministry, love our church and love the idea of getting to know all of you. Our youth leaders rock. So I think you should get to know them.

One of the best ways to get to know these incredibly cool cats is by joining a D-Group this Fall. Now talk about an all time great idea. Just picture it. You and some of your closest friends chilling with the likes of Ellie and Lindsey. Can it get any better? I submit that it cannot.

So yeah, that is what I have been thinking lately. Tune in next Monday to see what I'm thinking about then.
