Relational Thought From the Week...

This week my wife is going out of town to take the kids to see her parents and grandparents, and I 'm staying put here in Dallas. She usually does this one or two times a year and it gives me a week to grab more relational time with students and leaders that I don't normally get. So Gavin (my 7th grade co-leader) and I are meeting all our students at the church, doing dinner, and then heading over to Adventure Landing for Go-Carts, Bumper Boats, Lazer Tag, and Video Games. This will be the second time I've been to this place in the last two weeks, and our guys love it. I also haven't lost yet in G0 Carts; the guys are constantly talking smack on me and I take them every time. That's probably not something to brag about, but it's always fun to win even if it's against a 7th grader. We've invited another 7th grade group to go with us, and we'll probably take them on (and destroy them) in Lazer Tag. Can't wait. Oh, and our guys tried to convince us to turn it into a lock-in, but we turned them down. Just another sign of getting old I guess.
