Um, so I think I forgot how nuts jr highers can be. Wow! Just finished my first weekly jr high gathering at the new church...I'm exhausted. I think perhaps one species of animal can best be compared to the average jr. high student. Saimiri sciureus, or, the Common Squirrel Monkey, from the rain forests of South America.
One thing of note this evening. While I was teaching tonight, I found myself speaking the words, "Hanging out with middle schoolers is one of my favorite things in the whole world." After I said it I realized that I had surprised myself. Is that really true? Why?
I'll take the uncanned energy, lack of tact, and awkwardness. Because with it comes the kind of raw faith, candor, and excitement that only a jr higher can have. I'm glad God has called and equipped me to do this...really...no for real, I am.
