The Guys

Posted by on March 10, 2007


I think one of the neatest things being back in the states has been to see students as they grow up and their faith becomes their own. We often miss that part of students lives since they often leave Okinawa before or after graduating from High School. Visiting with David, Ted, Lee and Grady was great. They were all together for spring break so we met up for a day in Richmond to hang out, connect and compete at games like minigolf and go carting.

On the Student Leader retreat before Ted and Lee’s senior year we were all enjoying a great game of paintball. One of the guys had the great idea of playing girls vs. guys even though the girls greatly outnumbered us and all the guys had to play without their shirts on. Ted was one of the last guys alive and as he stormed the girls fort they just lit him up. Even though he was screaming, “Hit, Hit” they kept shooting him on his bare skin. If you have ever been hit with a paintball from 15 on bare skin you know that 7 or 8 hits don’t feel very good.

Grady and I have connected a lot this year and it has been great to see him really strive to be a man of God as he walks through life.
