I know it won't make much sense, but that's ok. =) It's just another joke coined by youth group wackiness tonight. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Those kids crack me up. I felt like I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe for the majority of the night. I know that it's important for me to keep laughing and stay relaxed (hence the copious amount of "Married...With Children," "Community," and "Modern Family" on my DVR), and I had a lot of fun tonight. I am loving working with these kids. One of them fills me in on his grades, which he may not think is a big deal. But to me, it's a huge deal that he would trust us and fill us in on his life like that. I don't mind rushing home from work and making dinner for these guys (our group is more than just guys, but there are 3 guys that live a few minutes away from us, so we're always giving them rides and we know them the best), because I've ALWAYS wanted to be the kind of person whose home is always open, and who is always available to talk. It's fulfilling to have them just come over and hang out, and it makes me happy in a fundamental kind of way. More importantly, I feel peace about the work we are a part of, and peace is a fleeting thing. Especially now.
God must've known that I needed to have a good night tonight, because I came home to another FB announcement from another friend having a baby. To be honest, it didn't faze me a bit. It's probably because she doesn't live around here, so I won't have to see her or hear many people talking about it, but still. Every little bit of progress counts.
