mosquito effect … 05.17.08

have you ever gone to a place where mosquitoes are swarming around?  what are the chances that you will become bitten by at least one of them?  whenever you try to build relationship with teens you will at some point bcome “bit” by them.  most times it is not intentional but it just happens.  what do you do when that happens?  do you “bite” back?

it’s hot out here in calif. it feels like we are totally exposed to the sun. wats gud is that we are learning how we can even better serve teenagers. one of the things i was reminded of today is that teens are looking for leaders who will break things down for them so that they can understand the why of life so they can follow. don’t just tell them to do it. show them. help them. lead them. they’ll follow. but do it in a simple & genuine way. be real with them!
