The Jr. High group at my church had an activity yesterday called “Do Ducks Have Lips?” Basically, the leaders dressed up in disguises and walked around the mall. The kids ran around and had to ask people the code phrase, “Do Ducks Have Lips?” Obviously, if someone not playing the game was asked, they’d say Read More
We’re having a contest at Christian Club (my middle school jr. high group) to find obscure, weird, or funny when out of context Bible verses. It will be next week and the kids will be combing the pages of their Bibles looking for their obscure verses. Here are mine so far: From there Elisha went Read More
The PBCC Jr. Highers had an ice-skating-then-broomball night tonight. It was a ton of fun. They gave me these wretched skates at first which made my feet hurt so bad, I swear I felt a hearbeat in my arches. I returned them and put on hockey skates, which were difficult for me to skate in, Read More
Today Josh presented the PBCC Jr. High site to the Jr. Highers. He really worked hard on the site and I do say he did a really kick-butt job on it. Anyhoo, he came in this morning with my laptop and was hooking it up to a projector and whatnot so it could be projected Read More
I had a nice weekend & it wasn’t filled with deep thoughts or anything. It was nice.

Yesterday at my Jr. High small group meeting we did a neat activity. We had this list of a bunch of things that people find to be important in life (family, God, honesty, beauty, etc.). We had to narrow the list down to the 15 most important, then the 10 most important, then the five. Read More
Tonight Annie and I took the Jr. High girls bowling for fun night. It was very interesting. Even though we were bumper bowling, several of the girls didn’t want to bowl because “bowling is dumb” and some other reason I didn’t understand. I think it was equivalent to “I’ll feel dumb if I do poorly.” Read More
Yesterday Josh & I hosted a small group of Jr. High students in our home. It was so refreshing to have faces and laughter and joy and exuberance and youth in our home. What an absolute joy. I’m leading the small group with another cool girl from our church (Annie). Josh’s job was to keep Read More
