Leading a horse to water...

I have been struck at the number of people that I have come across recently that have expressed faith in Christ, or have in the past, but for what ever reason push it aside as if it was just the one or two hour a week thing at church. I guess that's the frustration that comes sometimes in youth ministry when you are doing everything you think is right. You think you are doing the right things, and you think they are beginning to get with the plan, but then they fall into the same patterns. A few people over the past couple of months have gotten me thinking about this.

So with a culmination of things, it has me feeling a bit down. However, on the brighter side, we are getting back a big chunk of our taxes. Which means, that I need to make adjustments to our W4's so that we can keep that in our paychecks. Besides Christ is Risen!

As a former Youth Leader myself, I hear ya brotha'. I found your blog while I was reading another one. The phrase Ministry and Meteorology caught my eye.

I'm the CPM at the NWSFO Phoenix AZ.

Hang in there man! Sometimes these kids (Youth) only see Christ in their leaders and friends at church because they don't get it at home.

Peace!
He has indeed risen!
