Kids continue to show up on Monday nights and I ask the question, why exactly are kids always coming? We continue to see new kids come every week, kids I would never expect to show up. To many, we probably sing some pretty dumb songs, to many, we play some stupid games, and we give away some ridiculous prizes, yet kids still come. As I think about this question, I am reminded that in every day life kids are faced with pressures of fitting in, being cool, having it all put together, being successful. In Young Life, we offer a place where kids can really just have fun.... child-like fun. It is not everyday that we are free to jump around catching flying balloons, but as little kids we were, and we loved it. Why does that have to change? These kids are accepted, they are loved, they are free to laugh, sing, and play. They are getting touched by the refreshing hand of Jesus, that is why they come. Everything under the sun is meaningless, everything with out Jesus, and where Jesus is, there is meaning and freedom.
