A Bit of Advice from an "Adult"

     "Ohhh tomorrow you're gonna be all growed up". This was what my boss said to me on Saturday. "Nothing's gonna change." I laughed. "Except that the government can take my money now and I can vote.". But today I felt a little more of the weight of it. I'm never going to be a kid again. It's bittersweet, because it's sad that it's over, but I'm so excited for everything that's ahead. 

    I've decided that 17 was my best year yet, and I started thinking about what I've learned this year. I finished my school and learned in that way. I've learned about friendship, I've learned to be humble and admit it when I've messed up. I've learned just how little I know. I've learned that there are so many people that love me so much. I've learned what amazing friends I have. I have learned to cherish every moment of every day, to never let a day slip away without taking the time to enjoy it. 

    A few words of advice to you younger teens out there; ENJOY your life! (being a teenager is a lot of fun!) LEARN everything you can. DO as much as you possibly can. WORK as hard as you can. PRAY all day, every day. LOVE being who God made you to be. CHERISH every person God has given you as part of your life. THANK those who love you and do so much for you. 

You only get one shot at being a teenager. I realized today that I'm 18. I'm an 'adult'. Did I do everything perfectly since I joined my first teen group in the 7th grade? Not even close. But I served God, I did some crazy things, I had so much fun. I truly believe that I squeezed enough living out of these past few years to suffice for 5 teens😂I wouldn't have it any other way. SERVE God. It is the only way you will ever have a fulfilling life. And my last piece of advice? While you do all this; BE JOVIAL! 

(If you don't know what that word means you can comment and ask or look it up, because everyone should know about that word😁)

The Return of Lester Holmes

It's here!! After many months of much hard work by many people, it's finally done! Thank you to everyone who acted, played, sang, filmed, edited, worked behind the scenes and so many more things! Thank you especially for those of you who had to redo scenes due to me forgetting to turn on the mic on the camera...thankfully it didn't turn out to be a silent film.  We all hope you enjoy the movie (sorry, short film, ha-ha)! Let us know what you think.      And on top of that, today marks 2 years of TEEN CHALLENGE!

Right or Left?

                                                         by Joshua R. Walter of Versailles, Kentucky            Left or Right? You choose. I just wanted to warn you.  “And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.  And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, into the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai; into the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell tog...
