I love my teens.
I love my teens.
I love my teens.
Even when they mock me.
In fact, sometimes I love them more then!
They are really quite funny.
Here is one instance in particular. Javvy (Javier's almost 16 year old son) probably gives me the hardest time of any of my teens. We took a few of the boys rock climbing the other day, and I took my camera.
I always try to get pictures of me with the kids (because I'm usually behind the camera). So Javvy humored me:
Then I looked at the picture and realized my head was up and I was taking a picture of my neck. I explained this to him and asked if we could take another picture. Here is the result:
Need I say more? :) :)
Welcome to my Blog!
I'm a youth pastor in Southern California at a Nazarene church. I've been serving here for about 4 years. We have a large youth group of around 100 teens from all different cultures and backgrounds.
We merged with a Spanish church in January of 07 and our youth groups are now ONE! As of a little more than a year ago, I am working with a co-youth pastor named Javier. If you want to know more about me, you can read my very first blog post here.
I started this blog as a way to remember the amazing things that happen in my everyday life in ministry... the hilarious things that my teens say and do, the joys and victories, and the life stories of the amazing teenagers that are the future of our church, and our world. But I am also glad when it brings encouragement and joy to others. Feel free to leave your comments and let me know you're reading!
I am so blessed to be here, I love my teens... they are my heart!
And by the way...
at our church...
we speak 5 languages!!!
English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese and Gypsy! :)
Music We Love!
