I am excited for this, I think that it will be a great way for teens to find joy in reading the Bible. I have always been a advocate for that.
Yay God!!!!
Hopefully I will be able to go often, it will be kind of hard.

Where did all my Friends go?
Well a lot of mine went to a great retreat 2 weeks ago, It was the 1st retreat under our new Youth Minster Father Thom (Fr. T). And it rocked we started out with a "your a good person,
I am a good person" theme cheesy and kind of funny to some degree.
But then St. Paul (Dillick) came out banging 2 pot lids, and said this is not what the theme is about and started going into that (the new theme) UNSTOPPABLE! We got into small groups and we had Epistle names Romans Galatians and such. I was in the Galatians our leaders were Beth Mike and Russ.....3 generation of Core and then Teen Core Ally and myself making 4 gen. (Lif teen Generations are every 4 year....we came up with that in small group) Anyway we had some time to write notes and then went to bed and It was the Coldest it has ever been. The heater wasn't on and well stupid me just had a small blanket. Well I woke up after a cold sleep went ate breakfast, we had our 1st session...then men's session...confession and then we ate had one more small session "what you can and can't do at free time" Lots of small group in all of this, I didn't do much during free time just chilled. We had another session where Chris Lewis gave a great witness about his struggles in life. Had dinner it was chicken.....we always used to have spaghetti what ever. Started to hang out with some awesome kids from Jackson.....I always have liked to hang out with people i usually wouldn't or haven't for awhile. It is how I met Michelle! Well back to the retreat we went to mass and we had one that was great, went to adoration where we prayed...like crazy a great witness in the middle which was very confusing, I am glad I heard it before the retreat cause I didn't pay much attention (sorry Jen) anyway I want to go back to before adoration where we had a dramatic skit, we portrayed 2 different scenes a girl at a party (Ally) with a jerk boyfriend (me) 3 drinking friends (Carli Abbey and Mary) and a reject kid (Chris Lewis) then the other side had saint Stephan (Kevin) and a bunch of stoners (hehehe) (Chase Chelsey Jen ) and Saint Paul (Chris "Ozzy" Osborne) Jesus (Chris McNeil)
and that went really well, I had to make a pass at ally and it was really hard I don't go a flit and make passes every night, so I didn't really "know" but i did really good and made multi. passes.
Then we ate and had some night time free time...played duck duck goose.......Went to bed....Sunday had our rap up session and basically went home is the short of it.
It was a great retreat and 1 more as a Teen :.-(
