Yesterday I got to lead youth group over at the church. A 15 minute lesson usually takes 30-45 minutes. These kids attention span is about 30 seconds. Some less. We talked about John 15:12-17, where Jesus gives the command to love one another. Good discussion. Maybe it will sink in.
Today was bike club. At first, Daniel and Mario were there. We raked the front of the church and filled the dumpster half full of these pine cone things. then when Adrian got there, we rode our bikes up to City Park. A beautiful park up on the hill with a great view (if you don't mind looking down on I-70 and the train yards. This park is busy when the weather gets nice. Unfortunately, a lot of youth get in trouble here on the weekends. Then we went to the tienda for Takis and Jarritos. Then we rode back to the church for our weekly soccer game. Afterwards, Dana and I helped Mario with his homework. It is awesome just to talk about life with these boys. Besides, what 51 year old wouldn't just jump at the chance to pop wheelies with a bunch of 14 year olds!
