Happy December 10th everyone! I've gotta say, things are going good, I can't complain a bit. Things are really starting to come together for me. Life is good. God has been watching out for me that's for sure. It's amazing how much He blesses us with and it's also amazing how little we realize what He's blessed us with. How often have I thanked God for a car, a job, a warm place to sleep, and so on. You know, little things that if you didn't have would be a big deal. So I'm very grateful for those.
But even more so, friends and family. I can't imagine where I'd be w/o the people I have in my life. Yes, it's corny and sappy and I hate being that way, but it's true. I'm not going to go into details on which people have effected me in which way, that'd take way to long. But this is a thank you to all those who have been there for me.

Dumb News of the Week
TAMPA, Fla. - The Florida Highway Patrol says anyone missing two big bags of pot can call their Tampa area office. A crew picking up litter from along Interstate 4 near Tuesday morning made an unusual find: two big plastic garbage bags stuffed with freshly harvested marijuana.
FHP Trooper Larry Coggins says the 60 pounds of pot might be worth around $54,000 on the street. It probably fell off or was thrown from a car on the interstate.
The plants appeared freshly picked and some had intact roots.
Coggins says it's not the largest amount of pot ever dumped along a roadside, but it's certainly not a common find.
Now it's not dumb that they found this, but it makes you wonder how it got there. Did it fly out of the bed of a truck, did they just forget it, or did some druggie wake up to realize that his ticked off girlfriend had tossed out two trash bags of his weed.
The dumb part comes in at the point that you know that someone might be actually dumb enough to try to claim this. Like some already messed up high school or college students, just mark my words, it'll happen.

A Lot of Catching up To Do
It has been a while since I've written anything. It started off as not having anything to write about, then the internet went out, then I got sick, and other stuff. So this post might be a long one.
The spring retreat "Overflow" was awesome. We had some great classes and lessons presented to us by the top youth ministers in Oklahoma. Here at Agape we had a record 16 kids go. It was amazing and I'm glad they all gave it a shot, I don't think they regret it for a second. The only negative part was Tristan getting sick early Sunday morning, like 3 or 4 am early. But luckily Katie Keith came to the rescue, because frankly, I don't think I could have cleaned up after her.
Top 7 of the Retreat
7.Flour Bomb War (props to Silas for the help)
6.The skits
5.Catching up with people I haven't seen in a while
4.Random cabin discussions with Tyler and Eli
3.Ultimate Human Foozeball
2.Over 100 penalties called
1.Seeing the teens enjoy learning about God's Word
This also was my first ever Thanksgiving away from my family. It was weird being away from them. But I was very grateful to the Holder family for inviting me to their Thanksgiving dinner and treating me like a member of the family.
On the weather front: IT'S FRICKIN' COLD!
On the sports front: I would really, really, REALLY, like to have a sports team that does good. The Titans are seriously irritating me. In the last three games we've gone from #2 in defense to #17. (all losses) We can't catch a pass, we just can't seem to win. If we don't make the playoffs, chances are I'm going to break something.
As for Vandy, well I should have known better to get my hopes up. This has happened to me every year since....well....since I was born. We cannot get 6 wins, it's impossible. We could have 5 wins with one game to go and lose to a Jr. High team. I will say we can beat any team in college football for 3 quarters, but since their are 4 it doesn't work out so well for us.
Tim Tebow for Heisman, the only person who can come close to maybe deserving it is Missouri's QB. No one else has been as consistant. If you disagree, I'm sorry, you're wrong.

Weird News of the Week-Dubble Bubble BOMB!
Before this gets started, let me say, I'm in full support of doing what we need to do to stop terrorists before they attack. Need to tap my phone, go ahead, I'm not doing anything wrong, all you'll hear is me talking to friends about whats up this weekend, telling youth group members what's going on, and telling family members for the 1000th time when I'm coming home.
Want to check me six times at the airport for a possible bomb on me, go ahead. I'm willing to spend an extra hour or two in line to keep from getting blown up. And if it frustrates you, well, I don't really care. I personally have grown fond of not having my body exploded into pieces.
However this next story is a bit extreme.
Government in Action!
Three aldermen in Dover, N.J., seem exceptionally apprehensive that the town's gumball machines are easy targets for terrorists to poison their community and have been studying the issue zealously since April. The aldermen have checked all 800 gumball machines in the town of 18,000, gotten rid of the 100 that were unlicensed, and will report to the mayor by Jan. 1 on the town's vulnerability. (The mayor has been mildly supportive of the project, as contrasted with the police chief, who said, "You'd probably win the lottery first" before being victimized by terrorists' gumballs.)
Are you kidding me, terrorist targeting our gumballs? These guys can't be serious. Can you imagine the terrorists meeting there.
Osama: they're guarding their airports like crazy, we can't get anyone in.
Abdul: and they're tapping everyones phones so we can't communicate to get something big going!
Osama: I know, let's go after their gumball machines, especially the ones in Dover N.J.!
Abdul:Where?
If these actually happened Osama obviously didn't count on the aldermen of Dover N.J. They are real American heroes, that or 3 guys with way to much time on their hands.

Weekend Review
Another enjoyable weekend. Friday night went down to Edmond. (always nice to get a break from Ponca City) There I went to eat dinner with some friends at "Flat Tire Burger". Not a bad place. Then off to meet some people for a concert at OC. The groups name was Ingram Hill, they started out pretty rough but they got better. Then it was off to Steak -N- Shake. I gotta say, I love that place. It was a fun time Friday night for sure.
Saturday, well, Saturday was a typical day in Ponca, nothing much at all.
Sunday started off good, but dang it, the Titans lost. My day reflects on how the Titans do. If they win, the worst day is made better. If they lose, well you can ask my college friends how I responded if the Titans lost.

Random Stuff
I was on Oak's (brother from college) and I saw the link he has to my blog. It's titled "Ninja Assasin Youth Minister". I liked it, it made me laugh.
I def. enjoy having someone else in the office now. It's good to have someone with more experience to relay stuff off of and if I have Biblical questions he's a good guy to go to.
I thought I had gotten away from jokes on Vandy, but the new preacher is an SEC guy too, the jokes are back. I'm not as used to them as I once was.
It can't believe it's November already, it seems the older you get the faster things move by.
I read a story this morning on the Yahoo News line. Seems a cow in Washington jumped off a cliff and landed on a couple driving their car. That would be quiet a story. "So we were just driving along, enjoying the scenary and a cow fell from 200ft onto the front of our car." Who would believe that and do you have "cow jumping off a cliff onto your car" insurance, I'm thinking you probably don't.

I Feel Like A Parent
I feel like a parent, at least, I think I do, I guess I won't really know for sure until I am actually a parent for real. (which is a looooong way away) But I feel like a parent to these kids in the youth group. I love these kids, they're awesome, yet frustrating at the same time. I don't think they fully realize how much I care if they succeed or fail. I don't think if they'll realize that why their in the youth group, just like I didn't realize what my parents did was for my good until I was out of the house. It wasn't until I started working with youth groups until I really understood what my parents meant when they said, "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed." I don't get mad at them a lot, I just get disappointed when I see poor choices made. But at the same time I love it when I see them happy, when they succeed, when I see God working in their lives and I see them working to make God a stronger influence in theirs.

A Video
I just got done watching a video by Rob Bell called "Today". It's part of his Nooma series. Good video overall. He talks about living in the day and talks about people who look back on their lives and talk about college or highschool as the best days of their lives and how one shouldn't do that. Now I can see good and bad in this. I loved college, college was awesome and yes, so far I do consider those the best days of my life. College was where I discovered who I was, where I met my best friends ever. I have amazing memories from that. In fact, I'm going to do a quick top 10 list of college memories, here we go.
THESE ARE NOT IN ORDER
10. Jeremy Dennis on a scooter slamming full speed, head first into the RA's door.
9. Poker Nights (I'm tired, I think I'll go to bed....I'm all in)
8. Pig or Horse games (my jump of the bed*only shot i could really do*, Jeff's bouncing skills, and josh about killing himself)
7. Great quotes "I'm my own personal hero", "I've tried to deny it, but dang I'm good looking",ones from Jeff that are to numerous to state
6. Intramural and club flag football
5. Roller Skating!!!!
4. Boxing in the hallways
3. GTOSC
2. When we all played board games
1. The Gang (That is #1)
I feel that saying something was the best time in your life is ok, as long as you don't think anything can ever compare to it, b/c if you think that, then nothing will ever compare to it. Life will be full of ups and downs, good and bad, Titans and Patriots (titans=good;pats=bad). Live each moment for what it's worth and make the best of it!

Cell Phones
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several time a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go ... hmm, where is my Bible?Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?And no dropped calls!

Weekend Review
It's time for a little weekend review, however, I'm gonna skip Friday b/c....well....Friday was boring. Saturday was spent in various places, in the office watching the Nooma video for Sunday's class. (if you've never seen a Nooma video by Rob Bell def. check 'em out) Saturday night went over to Hartford to help out with their Trunk-or-Treat. (we woulda had one but they have a much better location for one than us) It was a nice set up, lots of little dudes showed up to get their fair share of candy. It's a great ministry opportunity to offer up a safe and fun place for kids to trick-or-treat.
Sunday Sunday Sunday! Sunday was the Mustangs' (the 6th-8th grade team I coach) bowl game. The defense came on strong keeping the Steelers in negative yardage in the first half, we were sacking the QB like crazy and stopping them in the backfield like they were nothing. Our offense came in with some great plays running it in from 5 yards for a TD after a blocked punt. The next TD came from a 40 yard pass with a little misdirection thrown in. At the half it was 14-0.
The 2nd half the other team came in with guns blazing. They knew they had to pick it up. After a few good runs around our right side they scored making the score 14-6. Their defense came in hard nosed and kept us from scoring the 2nd half. It became a defensive battle and we kept them from scoring anymore ending the game the our Mustangs winning 14-6! Finishing the season w/ an awesome record of 7-2!
Sunday evening was Agape's Annual Fall Fest. A great evening of volleyball, football, s'mores, singing, and just good ol' fellowship with each other.
Adam's Top 10 of the Fall Fest
10. Me, "It's just about having fun" Kyle, "That doesn't sound like you at all." When talking about the volleyball
9. The little dudes in their costumes
8. The volleyball that just wouldn't go straight
7. Marilyn Jantz's version of "Clap Your Hands"
6. S'mores
5. The Titans beat Oakland (I know that didn't happen at Fall Fest, I'm just happy about it!)
4. "Just give it a little effort!"
3. Watching the kiddos bob for apples
2. Singing around the fire
1. Fellowshipping with friends and fellow Christians

A New Era For Agape
Tomorrow begins a new era for Agape church of Christ. Tomorrow our new preacher arrives. That means no more being the only one in the office, which should be a good thing. It'll be nice to have someone discuss stuff with, please the church will have a real preacher and not me up there. He'll do a much better job preaching than me. I've always been more of a discussion class type of guy rather than a preacher.

A Special Post
This next topic deserves it's own seperate post. Yesterday I recieved knews that my Pappy (grandfather) had gone to the hospital. Chest pains and such, they've ruled out a heart-attack but they have him on blood thinners for a possible blood clot. He's 82 and still the toughest guy I know. If anyone can get through this it's him, but please pray for him.
A Weekend of....Well A Bunch of Stuff
I wanna start of by saying a big get well to Jess Holder. Jess during his football game on Saturday broke the top of the arm bone off, you know the part that connects into the shoulder, yeah, that's gone. But hey bro, you got the first down!
While we're on the topic of Jess' football game on Saturday, as most of you know I'm one of the coaches. We played a rival team this week, if we won off to the championship, if we lost, it's a battle for third. The team we were playing has been known for cheating through-out the year, without any punishment by the head of the league. (I won't get started on that) Well throughout the game the other team had their fair share of clips, cleatings, and other various cheap shots. (including the one that took down Jess) I consider myself a patient person, but something should have been done to punish this team and their coaches. These coaches have taught their team that cheating is ok and w/ the lack of punishment the league has said if you get caught cheating their are no punishments. And we wonder why kids these days have no respect and no morals, it's because of adults like this and say it's ok.
But the day got better, Forrest, Tristan, Shade, Gavin, and Dax had a pretty sweet Halloween Party last night. Good food, good fun, great scares!

Mistakes
Mistakes, we all make them, even me. I know that's a shocker, but it's true. When we go through the Bible and look at some of the heroes of the Bible, the ones we consider of great faith, we see that they to made mistakes. Peter denied Jesus 3 times, David committed murder and adultery, and so on.
So we see that mistakes are made by everyone (except Jesus), but one thing everyone doesn't do is learn from those mistakes. Why is that, why is it that we can't learn from our mistakes? We see the results, we don't like them, yet we continue to make the mistake. Why? We're stupid and selfish. I'm encouraging everyone (including myself), don't be stupid, don't be selfish, think, and learn from your mistakes.

A Bad Weekend For Sports
Wow, everyone of my sports teams lost this weekend, EVERYONE. It is a bit depressing. Vandy...well...they pulled a Vandy. To use a quote Bill Ford uses about OSU, "another defeat snatched from the jaws of victory." I've grown used to that though, I promise you, Vandy could beat any team in college today.....if the game ended after 3 quarters, unfortunately it doesn't so Vandy continues to be Vandy.
My D-backs were back on top, I was very happy, even bought a new hat. But then they go and get swept by the Rockies and suddenly everyone is a Rockies fan, seriously, what's up w/ that?
Lastly, the one that is the most sad, my Titans lose to the Tampa Bay Bucs and Vince "inVINCEable" Young goes down w/ a quad injury. As of this moment he's listed as day-to-day. I need him to be ok! If he goes down so does our season and I really need a play-off birth for my Titans.
Luckily we still have my Mustangs. Yes, the Ponca City Mustangs. The 6th-8th grade team I help coach. One more win and we're in the championship and the same goes for the team we play next(Colts). And ironically it's a team that there isn't much love for.(if ya want the full story tell me) It seems to be a typical good vs. bad. (we're good) I've told them team when they win I'll bring them food at lunch to celebrate. Our pump up line right now is, "A colt is just a baby mustang!"

The Beginning of a Youth Ministers Blog
To blog or not to blog, that is the question. Apperently the answer is, "to blog". Now that we have that answered, let's go with why "to blog". We got a new minister joining us here at Agape, actually, our first full time pulpit minister, nice guy, he has the Adam Seal of Approval. He has a blog, everyone was like, why don't you have a blog or you need a blog or something along that level. Then I got to the point where I was like, "ok, cool, why not? Might as well get one." So here I am, with a blog. Will I keep up with it constantly, I have no idea, but I bet the moment people find out I have one, they will tell me when I need to update.
