Almost a week since my last entry!

My, my, I'm getting lazy in my old age! Actually, it's more to do with the fact that we are so incredibly busy it's untrue. I haven't had a night off since last Thursday, when we cancelled Rock Solid, and I'm starting to feel it. It will be this Saturday before I have one, and even then, we've got family friends over. So, next Monday before I get an evening to myself with Laura. Almost two weeks without one. No wonder I'm tired and a little bit short-tempered!

Saying that, though, everything's going pretty well. Mettle on Sunday evening was the best one yet. We watched "Breathe", which is the latest Nooma, and did a response based on that. Loads of people stayed after the official end of the session, just to spend some more time being quiet with God. That was so encouraging. Occasionally, you get these God-filled moments with teenagers. They're pretty rare, but when they come, they're worth the wait.

Youth Alpha is the other thing to mention. We had to have our session in the skanky Vicarage Rooms this week, rather than our usual plush surroundings at the OSR Coffee Shop. It was cold, cramped and brilliant! Some of the questions the young people are asking are mind-blowing. They're so keen to question and explore and work out what they think ... it's really exciting. Plus, Jane and Carolyn cooked magnificent lasagnes, so I didn't feel the cold nearly as much as I sometimes would.

There's so much going on at the moment, I can't mention it all here. Please do visit our website, www.stmikesyouth.org, and use it as an aid to prayer. We need it, just for energy to do it all!
