Youth group minutes, October 20, 2010

Mrs. Gill introduces Operation Christmas Child. Tries to cram bear stuffed animal into box. Barely makes it fit.

Laurel is 18. Talking about piercing her nose. Daniel says she is now legal to buy lottery tickets and cigars. Laurel says she’s too cheap to start a habit like that.

Mrs. Gill - prayer requests.

Daniel started internship and has a borrowed camera. Knows how to answer phones and clean stuff. The joys of internship. Pray that the transition from other job goes smoothly.

Chelsea - animal was lost at the clinic. Needs prayer for stress. Laurel busts up laughing behind her notebook when she found out we did CPR and assisted breathing on the dog. Jordan says she almost hit a dog today.

Jordan - her dad’s cousin died today from cancer. Daniel starts complaining about Jordan’s “92 cousins” and we contemplate the definitions of 1st and 2nd cousins and twice removed…you get the picture. Laurel is still laughing. Daniel and Daniel decide they go to youth group with some evil girls. Laurel laughs harder. Daniel G. has hard time tracking the different cousins who have died or are having cancer. Poor thing. Its not his fault he’s slow.

Mrs. Gill intervenes and puts us back on topic.

Katie - prayer for Courtney and Ryan as they travel over the pass. Ryan was sick the whole trip. Daniel G. mistakes “sickness” for “syphilis”. Daniel H. finds this very humorous.

Mrs. Gill - “Help us Lord…”

Daniel H. complains about getting compared to a smoker who has 5 kids and two boats. Daniel G. thinks that boats make up for everything. Somehow the conversation switches to a Mexican who came to the states on a bus…or a donkey.

Mrs. Gill drives us back on topic.

Someone spends a month in Disneyland every year. Jordan is trying to find another apartment otherwise there will be 5 people in the one bedroom apartment. Conversation switches to houses that are for rent…maybe the old Methodist church in Hoquiam. Daniel H. laughs at Chelsea trying to take these notes down. Apparently there’s a new 2nd hand store in the area. Mrs. Gill says she’s about to start one in her garage. Daniel G asks if she’s planning to start a church or a 2nd hand store. Apparently he’s still confused. Mrs. Gill talks about Greg… wants him to call her. She’s going to put his stuff up for sale. We all laugh as Mrs. Gill talks about hanging up on Greg. Apparently he has not kept in touch very well and she doesn’t even know if he was the murderer.

Daniel G. says its not a good idea when the stenographer starts laughing about her own notes. Mrs. Gill hopes I didn’t put in the notes about Syphilis. The room bursts out laughing. Daniel H doesn’t watch Sense and Sensibility.

Daniel H is still depressed about being kicked off the whole Flag Football League team. He’s hoping to join a basketball League soon. Daniel G says he expects the other Daniel to get kicked out of that one too for one personal foul. Daniel H flips cellphone up and down as he talks. Claims he never gets in fights with people. Andrew G. says hi on text. More accurately he said, “SAI HAI!!!”.

Mrs. Gill jumps back on topic. Wants us to give a Scripture about taking care of each other. Kaitlyn brings up a verse in James about taking care of the widows and orphans. Katie W brings up Romans 12.…the whole chapter. Also, “Treat all people with hospitality.” Daniel G…. “E-phesians! Bro’s before hoe’s!” …… nobody got that one. Mrs. Gill wants to know what he meant. Daniel says, “well…you’re supposed to take care of your bros before the hoes and that the verse is in “he-phesians”….still don’t get it.

Mrs. Gill insists we should take action if God lays it on our heart to do something. Good intentions don’t get us anywhere. DO IT!!! Don’t just think about it. Concerned for the needy people in our community. Katie says homeless people like Danish Pastries. Group shares about times they reached out to homeless people. Daniel H tells me to stop looking at him while I’m typing. He’s messing around and going to break something if he keeps playing with the t.v. door like that….

Laurel’s phone buzzes. Mrs. Gill says we are don’t to loan money. No, that was not a typo. Apparently she is only a substitute teacher. Daniel H talks about loaning/giving money to a person who needed it and wondering if it was the right thing to do or not. Laurel laughs about someone cooking meth in an apartment. Apparently storage units don’t rent out by the day…only by the month.

Daniel G says we only need to eat about once every 3 days. So Daniel H shouldn’t worry about getting back the money he loaned. Mrs. Gill tells him to be at peace. Jordan’s phone starts singing, “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth…” Or maybe it was an alligator.

Boys try to get dvd to work. It starts….without sound. The story at the beginning of the dvd shows a guy with a cardboard sign saying “I’m hungry”. A guy feeds him and the sign now reads, “Not anymore. Thanks to this guy” . Nice guy pays a random parking meter that has expired. Nice guy leaves a photo of himself on the car of him paying the parking meter and writes “ur welcome” on the window. Nice guy also leaves a fat wad in the tithe plate at church. Nice guy tries to help not-so-nice lady carry groceries from the car. Asks lady to update his status from his cell phone that he is helping her. Not-so-nice lady hits him in the stomach with purse. Moral of the story: don’t boast your own works.
