The Choices

You know what sucks about Youth Ministry? No matter what you do someone is left out, or upset, or confused. In order to create a strong 7-12 grade ministry, the others have to suffer. In order to simplify that program, so and so doesn't have a part. Because person A is there person B won't come. If I'm doing thing #1, things #2, #3 and #4 won't get done. When I'm with person C person D is left alone. And when I make a mistake, nothing gets done, no one is happy, and its a wasted day. Persons A, B, C, and D are ignored, things #1, #2, #3, and #4 won't be done. And things that should have been done aren't.

Let me ask you:

Shoot yourself in the left foot?
Shoot yourself in the right foot?
Shoot yourself in both feet?

Don't shoot anything! What is it with you MO people and guns?
You are doing a great work, Mark Lee. Remember: With God the task ahead is never as great as the power behind you!

Well you must be doing something right or the devil would not be causing you so much trouble. Always be transparent in what you do. Work as hard as you can so when you lay your head on your pillow at night you know you have done all you could do.
Love,
Mom

Heather Charcoal Grey for the scarf?? Clone yourself and then you can spend time with persons #1-4 all at once! But then we need 4 scarves. Sorta?

I have a funny, grose story for you. So I am working on homework and I get up to get a drink of water. I put water in a cup, put the cup to my mouth, take a drink. Everything is normal so far. Then I swallow. Some how water goes up my nose from the back of my throught and out my nose. After I realized it didn't hurt I laughed until I cried. Thus concludes weird grose story time with Rachel.
