So, I've been sitting here listening to Matt Maher's "Hold Us Together" now for at least 30 minutes, hitting play every time the song ends.  Here is the link to the song: www.youtube.com/watch

I do that when I like something: I replay it and replay it ad nauseum.  But the song reminds me of our youth group at church.  I want this song to be what my youth group thinks about when they think about the youth group.  *oops, song ended, had to hit replay*  Tomorrow, all the youth girls and I are going to Goodwill and the Salvation Army to find craptastic 80s dresses for one of our skits for Youth Sunday.  And I want these experiences to be the types of things that these kids remember years later when their kids are in the youth group at church.  I have such great memories from youth as a teen, and I want to create those for our youth group. 

We are having Youth Sunday in exactly four weeks from this Sunday.  April 25 is the big day!  I am so excited!  *song over, must hit replay again*  We wrote our skits together, and the youth are going to showcase their talents, and I think it is on par to be the best Youth Day we've ever put together.  We've laughed more and bonded more over this than any of the last Youth Sundays.  I hope they think back on these times with fond memories.  I know I do.

I don't really know the point of this blog post.  I just really like that song, and it gets me to thinking (the mark of a good song, in my opinion.)
