Guy Bonding

Every six weeks or so, our senior guys small group Bible study does something for fun...last night I scored a deal to go laser bowling complete with free pizza and sodas and an hour and half of glow in the dark loud music fun for a nominal price. It's one of the few youth pastor "perks" in that owners of businesses like that know that there's gold in them thar teenagers, and whenever the head youth pastor calls, deals for smaller events seem to pop up out of the bushes. Suffice to say this head youth pastor was definitely pleased with the Wednesday night deal the manager scored...so props to Main Event. I feel sure it's safe to say we'll give you some of the gold in them thar teenagers.

After about two frames, the game de-volved into Austrailian rules bowling. Ice chips were thrown while lining up the shots. Hats slid across in front of bowlers in progress. Stomping. Coughing. Girlfriend's names were used. Fake puking. Simply walking beside the other bowler while he was approaching the lane. My personal favorite was when someone would slide their foot across the line while you bowled, causing a loud buzzer to go off and the computer to give you an F instead of how many pins you knocked over. I won't go much further because of the sacredness of the guy bonding...but you get the idea.

And people wonder why I like working with teenagers more than working with grownups...gee, why do you think that might be?
