we'd never done it in the red room before. it worked well enough with party hats and pool noodles. when lyndle popped her knees out, the game kinda died, but it was pretty fun.
didn't quite compare to the activities centre effort of 2002. i think we needed ben croucher and jake there. that was a very very painful night. i don't think i've ever had so many bruises from one event. there's nothing like being thrown clear out of a speeding trolley. yikes!
but GAP continued fine form on Friday which was good. and Benny D was back which is exciting. we miss him.
its so inspiring and encouraging hearing the things young Christians have to say. some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths is so profound. often its a real wake up call to hear it too. they'll come out with the most amazing things, and it's exciting to know that they really are seeking and desiring God. i love those moments. i love to see the growth in people i've known since they were little people, to see them grab hold of the Christian life for themselves, and no longer just attend sunday school or youth group or church, but actually be involved and committed and changed by it all, not because of the programs themselves, but because of their own individual commitment and desire for God and his way in their lives. and it is such a privelige to see them week by week, to see the ups and downs, and to encourage them, and be their friend. it's also such a responsiblity, daunting in fact. but God knows what he's doing, and he's put each of us in each other's lives for a purpose. and i think it's awesome having these people i love share in my life, and knowing that i am sharing in their lives.
Damn, I thought trolley jousting was my own original idea. Oh, well, what can you do.
