I just spent a week with *my* old youth pastor and his wife -- their names are Dennis and Karen, too (!) -- and it was great to hang with them as an adult youth minister myself. Your words expressed my thoughts exactly. Thank God for these mentors... it makes youth ministry a lot easier knowing that there are those who have forged the path before us.Lady Jane Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01994741653485676559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598107.post-3523052175853565902007-10-25T19:45:00.000-06:002007-10-25T19:45:00.000-06:00Thanks Kim for your encouraging words!Thanks Kim for your encouraging words!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858971251271104372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598107.post-13063893105471926342007-10-24T13:00:00.000-06:002007-10-24T13:00:00.000-06:00What an amazing thing it is to see how people can ...What an amazing thing it is to see how people can actually represent Christ well.

We don’t have a lot of skill or training but one thing God did place in us was a love for you guys. Blessings on you as you care for all the youth in your groups. Dennis has said that you can’t look at any of the youth and not see the potential built right in. They are an amazing bunch. Ya just gotta love ‘em. So go ahead. Just love ‘em.<BR/>Blessings & a hug,<BR/>KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598107.post-33110689611352540972007-10-22T13:59:00.000-06:002007-10-22T13:59:00.000-06:00Thanks Gordon!Thanks Gordon!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858971251271104372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598107.post-48823040696657918702007-10-21T12:32:00.000-06:002007-10-21T12:32:00.000-06:00How nice to read these kind words and to see the e...How nice to read these kind words and to see the earlier picture of Dennis. I have people like that in my own life - ones who made a real difference to for me and in my development. I suppose that's about as nice a compliment as you can give to someone.<BR/><BR/>Also, welcome to the High Calling Blog Network. This is Gordon Atkinson. Marcus Goodyear and I are moderating or encouraging or something. Even we don't know what to call it yet. We've been flooded with requests, and we are currently sorting and trying to get everyone into a category on the High Calling Blog page. You'll hear more from me in comments as I read your work. For now bear with us as we try to get this thing started.Real Live Preacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757644935379896122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598107.post-13715375425258175192007-10-20T02:14:00.000-06:002007-10-20T02:14:00.000-06:00Hey Sarah its from: Scraps,” St. James' Magazine.....Hey Sarah its from: Scraps,” St. James' Magazine... and Article that C.S.

I am very humbled by them. I need to say how happy I am for you in your ministry and how you let the love of God flow through you as you love kids and encourage them. And I need to say how awesome it was to have you in youth group during your high school years. God packed you so full of potential and it was so obvious – it is so cool to see you using it now as you serve Him. And you brought so much life to youth group – you helped make it an exciting place to be for your friends. And something that I always appreciated about you – you never ignored me. You always were respectful and always made the effort to show friendship with me (even as an “old” guy). Nothing worse than being ignored as you try to minister and you never ignored. And I love your crazy sense of humour! Blessings on your passion to serve God and love Him. We love you and Jessica and your boys. We are so glad that you are in our life.<BR/>Blessings, DennisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
