Because this was the 10th anniversary of 9/11 that made the math pretty easy for me tonight. The kids, in 6th - 12th grade, would have been in -4th through 2nd grade at the time of the attacks. So, for tonight, we just talked more about bad people in general, the loss that we have felt with recent students dying, and the presentation we had at our high school recently about the Columbine killings.
So... Why does gos let these things happen? I threw the question out there and just let in hang in the air.
There wasn't much of a response, and I did answer the question, but only after 5-6 minutes of awkward guesses. I hope I got them thinking.
Overall, I did have a good time tonight. There were a few kids there that hadn't been at the Sunday nights, but had often come to the Wednesday night dinners.
This week we are planning for the future! We have a meeting on Tuesday about the future of the Youth Group and I'm happy to be a part of that. My days are numbered in Clewiston, but this church has a great opportunity and I hope they can fully take advantage of it.
