Hello World....

Its been a while, huh? I've been a little tied up recently and I've had not a lot to say. However, I've been thinking lately and Im ready to say some stuff.

To begin, I'd like to say that I think it is nearly impossible to stay with someone constantly without growing tired of them. When they say "absence makes the heart grow fonder" or however that goes, I cannot disagree. Thats just a side note, however, and completely unrelated to what I have to say.

I'm not even sure what I'm going to write. I had an idea, but it escaped me. Inconveniently as always.

I'm going to be honest with you all in my absent-mindedness. I have been slacking, I guess you could say. I've been lagging not only in blogging (which I am very sorry for), but in life in general. With God especially. I think I found my topic.

I've heard people say that going to school for something like youth ministry or ministry in general is nothing compared to the experience. Trust me, they are not lying. When I was at school in glorious Illinois, I took a youth ministry class, and it taught me a lot about teenagers and what they are thinking and what they go through as they get into adulthood. But, i must admit that taking that course and then coming back home to my youth group was completely different. Its good to know what people are thinking and going through, but the fact that my number one strength is empathy and I work it to death, knowing that stuff doesn't help because I know. I don't know how, but I do. Give me any situation, whether I've been there or not, and I can feel it. I can feel the pain. The hurt. The suffering.

But that is irrelevant. Living the youth ministry and talking about it are completely different. However. I have to go. I need to convince people to have Applebee's with me. I love you all, and keep in touch!! Questions or anything at all, email me/ (aaronjay88@gmail.com) Again, all my love goes to my readers. and I would LOVE to hear from you.

Thanks again,

Aaron Jay
