I had a game on my Gameboy (the old one) where you played godzilla looking for his son through it maze full of monsters. I played forever without beating it then a few months ago I found my old gameboy in a box so I was playing a few of the games. I pulled that game out and opened the old save file. I played through a couple of the map screens and won the game. Godzilla was reunited with his son. Yay.

:/ re the young lady. I'm thinking a few things, like, doesn't want to be made a fuss over, doesn't want to be the special 'charity' case, doesn't want to accept help from others due to seeing being given/'shouted' stuff as an attempt by the giver to exercise power… may be too shy, might not feel 'worthy' or of 'worth' enough to accept gifts. I kinda cracked a bit when I read that comment Nick, bit of 'there but for the grace of God go I…' for me. We as a body love her as does Christ. 🙂

You have never said that and yes I do say "anyways" all the time. I write pretty well exactly like I speak.

I was always a Godzookie (sp?) fan… he was cute, but just as pathetically un-ninja as his daddy… LOL I think Wendy's idea was great!

Did I ever tell you how cute I think it is that you say "anyways" all the time? Do you talk that way, too? Anyways, I just wanted to tell you that. No, don't stop. It's soooo Nick, and somewhat geeky as well.

you said you have kids right? make a deal with her for an evenings babysitting once a month to cover the costs of whatever and just kinda put it aside for her? She probably doesnt want to feel like a burden on someone for ya'll to pay for it. steff

Thanks for the visit. With the youth we were doing that, now things are transitioning to where I have a Bible Study/preaching service on Wednesday and then every Saturday is more hangout time. Once a month is movies and once a month is a game night of sorts but most of hte time it is just open hang out time. This is in my Young Adults class which is for 18+. Her family isn't really supportive at all. It's a real mess there and I feel bad for her. As for the way we do things there, right now I plan an outreach tpe evening once a month and a fun evening once a month. The rest of the month we are in a small group. Right now we are studying "I became a Christian and all I got is this lousy t-shirt."

That might work. I'll talk to her. She is doing fund raising for an event this weekend, but I don't think this particular kind of thing works 4 her. Maybe a straight up 1 hour of work = 1 hour of fun might work.

Hmm, I've seen how wrestlers dress. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with a rip anywhere. That could be bad.

you could work out with someone in the church to "sponsor" her. __and sometimes she will likely be just cut out. but that is part of life. __is it just that she doesnt have the money, or that the family doesnt, or that she doesnt want to talk to her parents about it?__Can you talk to her parents about it?__Its been a while but it seems like with youth group we usually did like 3 weeks just regular stuff and one big thing a month on avg__you can have a game night….kids may whine about it a bit but when it gets going they usually have fun….all kinds of games, yahtzee, scattergories, trivia games__Happy Birthday….came over from Stephs blog,__Steff
