Had a thought while driving. That one of the reasons i like God so much is that i can talk to Him/stop talking to Him whenever i want. The thought rather surprised me. yet i knew it was true. Sounds alot like that new TV thing where you can watch whatever you want, when you want, and turn it off when you want. a comment in church on Sunday was that instead of the King of Kings, we treat Him as Burger King–have it your way.
oh God, what do i need to change? How do i come to You as you should be approached? How do i really understand who You are? i cut You off and call You up more rudely than i would ever treat a friend or family member, i hog the conversation, and talk about only what happens to be on my mind about me. Show me. Teach me.

One of the girls came to the youth center last night very broken up…she couldn’t even talk. When she calmed down, she said her mom had put her out of the house and accused her of stealing. She called her father and soon left, but when i went home, i could hear yelling coming from her house down the street. Please also keep praying for Howard. i haven’t seen him yet.

Never try to teach kindergarten around Halloween. i had an activity today…forgot they would be on a sugar high. Corey also brought in a deer skull that he’d found for show and tell. Here is what it sounded like:
“Here is where the brain was…no, it isn’t there anymore” (where did it go?) “It melted and came out the back.” (how did it die?) “oh, some other deer did it.” “I am going to put this under my pillow so that i don’t have to lose mine.” “This is in real life.”
