You know that feeling, how great it feels to be at home after a long trip?
It was so awesome to be back at CFC - worshiping & getting blessed with my new & old family. Sorry I couldn't have a long/deep/meaningful talk with everyone, but it was so good to everyone.
The best part of this weekend was seeing our youth guys & gals literally come alive after having back to back revivals (STL Youth Rally & CFC Revival).
Here're some pictures from past two weekends:

[I was getting blessed by Mike Park in this picture, but he later told me he was just sitting down cause his back was hurting. ]

Thoughts on youth ministry....
Kids' hearts are so pure & precious. Some of their hearts are like plants on steroids. You water them a little bit, they grow like crazy.
I learned in seminary that the average age limit for youth pastor is 35 and ESFP makes the ultimate ageless youth pastor. Since I am ENFP, I guess I only have a few more years left in me, but for now, I am loving it.
I do have two concerns:
1) My Junior High Boys - I am pretty sure they're knocking off a few years of my life. I have to discipline them like they're my own kids. Made one cry this weekend after he repeated & chanted profanities written about Michigan on U of I T-shirts.
2) Growing more immature - I can't believe I am screaming out "Choco Taco"at a truck stop...
