"What's Atari" This from Michaela, who then proceeded to tell me that she's 13, this is the 21st century and I should be glad that she knows what Nintendo was. I can't imagine that I'm really that old. I truly believe that age is a state of mind. I finally feel like I could be one of the "cool" people and now I'm past the point where it really matters. So, now what? How do I enjoy the confidence that I seem to have achieved? What purpose does it have? I wonder if that's why I feel called to work with the high school youth group at my church. Does this mean I'm one the again "cool" adults the kids can relate to? I'd certainly like to think so. I find this group of kids to wonderful, funny, smart, creative and just a joy to be around. I'm not sure what I'm hoping to show them through my life. I have a feeling that I will learn more from them than they will from me. And maybe that's God's plan. It's taken a year for me to get this worked into my schedule. I just pray that what I have to share is relatable to them. Even if I help just one of them. Who knows, maybe I should ask them if I'm really that old. Nah, I don't think I really want to know the answer.
