Is it worth it to reach them all?

I helped at our youth group lock-in last night. 5 of our neighbor friends came. 2 didn't and I must admit I was glad. These 2 boys have been very difficult. One in particular. We have really bent over backwards for him and it has been at the expense of others. Which brings up the question is it always worth it to reach out? I am struggling with this right now. I love those 2 boys and would love to see them come to Jesus but I want to make sure the 5 others are protected and have an opportunity to come to faith and grow.

The lock-in was so much fun. I only stayed until midnight. I really wanted to stay longer but I am old and have responsibilities. One of my favorite neighbor friends stole the show! They broke the kids up into teams and did a Project Runway game. Each team had to dress up 1 person and they had to walk the runway and the adults picked a winner. He was hilarious. I haven't laughed that hard in years. I was crying. He is such a fun kid. I realized that he will be a Jr. in HS when my oldest son starts youth group. That made me happy He will be a great roll model for those younger kids.

  1. Hey. I just finished listening to a podcast which reminded me of you and I linked this blog to mine. Is that alright? Hope you are doing well. We passed court last week so Lucia is legally our daughter. I am guessing we will be traveling probably some time in June. Hope you are doing well. Love to you.
