If you really knew me.....

Hey, if you have a few minutes, watch this video.  Sari and I were privileged to get to participate in a self-esteem building/anti-bullying program at the high school today.  It is called "Challenge Day" and this will give you a quick look at it.

We really enjoyed hanging out with the students, teacher and other adult volunteers.  It was a day of laughing, tears, apologies and hugs...... not to mention that I got to break out all the dance moves that the girls won't let me do in public (We were told to dance badly.... I was complimented for my bad dancing.... is that good or bad?????)

The title of this post was one of the themes of the day..... "If you really knew me would you know"..... and then we had to fill in the blank in small groups.  It was a very powerful day of people talking about their struggles, their fears and their hopes.   To be honest, it was a lot of what church ought to be like.

Anyway, if you are ever offered a chance to go and assist with this program, to send your child to it, or to bring it to your town.... jump on it.  It was great!!!!  (Just make sure you get lots of rest first..... and practice your dance moves!)   :)
