| | Every week, we give our junior high teens a scripture verse and saint quote to memorize. They have an opportunity the following week to write out what they memorized, and we hold a drawing for prizes.
Last night, was the first drawing of the youth group year. When I pulled out the drawing box during announcements, I saw only one slip of paper. Ever the optimistic youth minister, I thought, "This is great, some lucky kid is guaranteed a prize and all of the other teens will see how good their chances are of winning."
In front of everyone, I pulled out the slip or paper and read it aloud:
Name: Little Jimmy*
Saint Quote: God Rocks. Kats cool oh ya.
I busted out laughing in front of everyone. Little Jimmy didn't remember writing that saint quote and didn't recognize the handwriting. He told me later Little Johnny** had written that Saint Quote back in April, and it had been sitting in my drawing box all summer.
I pinned that saint quote to my bulletin board.
*Not his real name.
**Not his real name.
