well i could swear that i've blocked since my lost recorded blog, but oh well.

we just got back from St Louis from visiting tre's parents( oh how i hate 12 hour drives)-- we drove straight to church before getting home for a youth fellowship. it was a party kinda out of school thing- (off church sight)-- i felt so disconnected from the the students- it really bothered me, but we went through the night. one student who has always been distant really seemed down and i again tried to get him to open up. but he did his usual i'm ok -- if i need to talk i will and yatta yotta so this time instead of saying "sure man" i said "hey i don't believe it, but we'll go on your time." well on the ride home i looked over at him and you could see he was so struggling, and i prayed that God would really get a hold of him- about 10 mins later he asked to talk- it was just awesome he's struggling with the typical things , but lets just have the reality check no 13 year old boy should be in the world of drugs , and alcohol--- any way pray for him - it took a year for him to open and it's gonna be a battle for him to get on track his name is PeeWee( ( taylor)) but no one knows him by taylor. we have camp next week - and i'm just pray'n it helps me with him-- i know see that the disconnect was because we had something to take care of- and our enemy was working to make it not happen.

So do you have a "southern" knickname yet - like "PeeWee" or "Cooter" or something cool ike that. "Pastor Cooter" - it's got a ring to it.

On a serious note, no, a 13 year old shouldn't have to deal with that, but he will be more mature than the average student if he surrenders.
