Bonfire @ The Beach

.
First of all, I have to tell you that I am having a great time with the high schoolers in our youth group at The Rock! I have the priviledge of being one of the assistant youth pastors under my senior Pastor, Jerry Dirmann. And I do have to say that I am truly enjoying being a part of what God is doing at this church!!!

A couple weeks ago, a group of us went on a spontaneous trip to the the beach on a Monday night. We brought just enough wood to keep a small fire going, brought some hot dogs, smores, water and soda. But I noticed something funny! All the leaders were drinking up the Dr. Peppers and all the youth were drinking water!!! What is up with THAT??? I would think it should be the other way around, but oh well... maybe the leaders need to follow the example :-)

Okay... so I have to show you something!!! We all know that the beach is very fun... and it allows you to get away and relax (for the most part). But take a look at the following picture...

Okay... this picture is the epitome of Orange County. Hanging out at the beach with some friends, but of course you must still make some of very important phone calls!!! This cracks me up!
