Senioritis

Went to my senior guys' Bible study last night. When I arrived, there were guys playing ping-pong and the requisite techno compositions going on (one of the guys got a keyboard program for his computer for Christmas, and apparently electronica is the easiest to compose for the novice). By the time I left, we'd had a great discussion from Mark 3 on how from the calling of the disciples that their walk with Christ was their primary responsibility. Side discussion covered the differences in the disciples and how we should be ourselves and appreciate differences.

Afterward, our student coffee shop opens up and the kids can hang out. Wound up hanging out with some senior girls on the way Christian literature currently influences our thinking...and once the premises are accepted, and if they're off base, a whole series of influences become accepted as spiritual even if they are wrong.

It hit me for the first time regarding this year's seniors: I'll miss this bunch...more than most. Occupational hazard to be sure, but normally, I don't start feeling this way about them until after the spring break ski trip.
