Kids are funny. I help teach the 5th and 6th graders at church on Wednesday nights. We usually ask for prayer requests at the beginning of class. Tonight a kid asked that we pray for snow so that they wouldn’t have to go to school tomorrow. And we did. The kid who led the prayer prayed for snow, but at the same time asked that it not be very bad so that no one gets hurt due to the snow.
Hopefully we’ll have snow for this ski trip. I’m left a little bit bewildered due to the conflicting messages I’m receiving about the trip. We’re told in Phil’s bulletin column to “invite your friends,” yet in the handout we are told that only certain people can bring one friend. Now I feel bad for inviting a handful of friends on this trip. Ugh. Why can’t we open this trip up to anyone who wants to come? Why are they limiting adults? I thought church was supposed to be about accepting of others. Ski trips are a great way to introduce people to church going people and to form bounds with them. As far as I’m concerned, if someone pays their money on time and is trustworthy enough to go, then they should be able to go. And enough with these people who go just to hang out in the lodge all day and not ski. Apparently they have 50 bucks to blow on a boring trip to Indiana. I say donate the money to a mission effort and stay home. Just my 2 cents. Not skiing on a ski trip is like not going to Bible class on a retreat.
