Young at heart

The skies were gray; it was chilly and dark and I felt somewhat gray myself. Just one of those days where you'd like to stay in bed and not be bothered by anyone! Felt a bit better by afternoon time though when I met up with Rachel at 2.30 to look at a house. Went directly to the school after that and waited for the boys for quite some time, especially since Aaron decided he needed the loo right after the bell went. Just got home in time to collect Caleb's piano things and his scooter and helmet and rush him off to Joan's for his lesson. At 7.30 we had our first youth group meeting for the year - we've had some ad-hoc gatherings in the past but have now formalized a fortnightly meeting. At exactly 7.30 we were still the only ones there - Nick had brought his electric guitar and amp and got himself mic'd up and everything to sing to an empty church. But a few minutes late(r) we had 8 enthusiastic high-schoolers. Had a short time of worship followed by a half-hour Mark Driscoll DVD which was excellent, then popcorn and juice and games. We taught the kids Taboo which went down well especially for those who could get past the nerves and giggles and actually describe the given objects! Good fun and we look forward to the next one.
