one of today’s questions was: do you think that these kids individual existence matters?…DUH! yes i think that each one of these kids has an existence that will play a vital role in the community around them. each personality that is portrayed in these kids is an important instrument that God has placed there for a reason. yes all of them, including the one kid that gets all his enjoyment out of making his piers (and the occasional teacher with a sense of humor) laugh and gets distracted when you give him instructions.

one kid that jumps out at me in particular is a young guy named Alex. he has such a high amount of energy and is just looking for a way to use it! unfortunately he has a tendency to choose the wrong times.

After getting to know some of the kids we are serving i came to the realization that in reality there are not very different from me.  both of us love having fun and getting the approval of our actions from others. but there are also times where we make mistakes. but the thing about making mistakes is that sometimes they have to be made so that you can learn from them.

Justin just moved from Colcord OK to live with his Grandparents and go to TCC.  Everything in Tulsa is new to him and he is connecting with our GPS crew, taking classes, and adjusting to a new life.- ck
