There is a group of high school guys I have been meeting with weekly on a fairly regular basis for the last two years. It is called "Campaigners", and it is more or less a time to hang out and talk about stuff, whether it be the bible, school, or life in general.
We got together tonight for what will probably be our last "Campaigners". They all graduated at the beginning of summer, and some are moving away to college, while others will be hanging out around Santa Cruz doing the community college thing.
As we at "Bruno Burgers" at Brunos BBQ, I couldn't help but be a little bummed about seeing them go. I am going to miss our time hanging out on Wednesday nights.
I can only hope that the the time we spent together and the things we talked about have prepared them a little more for the exciting journey ahead. I am definitely jealous. The college years are certainly some of the best. Hopefully they make good choices.

Club Talk
I am a YoungLife Leader at San Lorenzo Valley High School here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I had the opportunity tonight to share with the highschoolers a couple of things that are near and dear to my heart: Jesus and Guitar Hero.
Some of you may be wondering what I am talking about. Let me explain it to you. We have weekly "clubs" where we play games, sing songs, and then share a little.
It was my turn to talk this week, and the topic was "Need". Specifically, I was to talk about why we need Jesus. How does Guitar Hero fit into this? The Guitar Controller is useless unless it is plugged into the game console. The Guitar Needs the console, and similarly, we need Jesus. We are like a unplugged Guitar Hero controller outside of relationship with Jesus.
Pretty interesting? Well it made sense in my mind. If a highschooler connected with the concept tonight, than it was worthwhile. Thats all I can really hope for.
I'll have to keep track of all my club talks on my blog. That way four years from now, when we have a totally new group of kids, I can break the Guitar Hero talk out again!
