Wow, it's hard to believe that the Honolulu Conference Retreat has come and gone. It was an exciting 3 days of worship, diving into the Word, fellowship and fun. The theme this year was "Let your Light Shine." And we got cool bright yellow T-shirts that say "shine" on it. For those of you who have never attended the HIM Honolulu Conference, it's an incredible Christian event that gives us a glimpse of what heaven may be like. Over 4000 believers gather together from all over the islands and even from around the world to worship God and be exhorted by His Word. World renown speakers challenge us to love more, think deeper, live fuller and shine brighter. The David Crowder Band makes the whole building shake as we shout our praises to God. (No kidding - it was like an earthquake!) We all laugh together as we ponder the mysteries of the Middle School antics. You have to join us next year!

There's an interesting book that I'm looking into titled DO HARD THINGS: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations. As a youth leader I'm confounded by the attitudes of youth who waste their lives as teenagers on superficial, boring pursuits. This book contains a compelling argument that youth aren't doing amazing things because people cripple them with exceedingly low expectations.

Mens Group
We met for the first time at Manoa McDonald's from 9:30AM until 11AM. We plan to meet on the first and third Saturdays of the month. It's been in the works since October but we haven't been able to get it going until now.
