I have been meaning to blog for the last two weeks, yes I know it has been two weeks, I have just been absolutely crazy busy. Funny how that is always my excuse, but I promise it's always true. The last two weeks have been crazy and maybe at some point I will be specific, but here are some highlights:
1- Last week was MCS homecoming and while that means most of nothing to most people, it means a lot to me. What it meant to me...
- Missing Zoe (I actually signed up to go in June, and well let's just say that homecoming just killed that for me) I have heard it was awesome and some from our church went and said it was great, I am so frustrated about missing, but my week made up for it.
- Being involved at MCS is something is really important to my ministry and since it is a "christian" school and I use that litely, only about 50 percent of the kids are Christians or call themselves so. Of course there is the designation for many that says that only actually 30% of the kids are Christians because they are coc'ers. I don't buy that jive for a minute.
- I work as the co-sponsor of the SGA at MCS and the kids are awesome, and we handle all of the homecoming events.
- I get to spend tons of time with good kids who are searching, and that is what it's all about to me.
- I get to have fun with them and get to have influence in many kids lives, by doing things such as: announcing almost anything goes, singing a silly parity song to the Miss America Theme for the Homecoming King crowning (that was hilarious, I think a new tradition)
- I am blessesd by spending time with kids who inspire and encourage me in ways they will never know.
2- In the midst of our fundraising campaign, which I am not having fun with.Although I think it is going to do it's job from a faith building standpoint.
3- Dealing with the issues of teenage drinking, some of my own. This isn't a highlight, but a lowlight, please pray for us.
4- Setting up for our very first 5th Quarter which happens tomorrow night! I am pumped!
There is so much more, but no more time! More to come very soon..(I mean it)

Alex, Thanks for the comments, I am the Youth Minister at the Port City Church here in Mobile, but I was asked to serve as the sga co sponsor, so that is how I get to do so much stuff at MCS. MCS is a school that has so much potential, I take it you are an alum? That's great! I am excited about the impact we are making, keep us all in your prayers. I don't think I am related to Paul, but thanks for checking in. God bless you!
Hey JD - I am trying, I am trying!
