Youth group was great tonight! We sat in a circle under our awesome 20' wide sky light in the "upper room" of our church, enjoying each other's company. Joking, laughing, talking, learning. They were pretty respectful of each other and they paid attention for the most part and had great insights and answers to my questions. Everyone had something good to offer. I had a wonderful time - I wasn't too cool for myself, I was able to laugh at their jokes...they had very few put downs for eachother!
We created an atmosphere of community, one where everyone could genuinely be themselves. A real feel-good time for everyone. (rather cheesy, I know)
