BLOG THEN INTERNET: yesterday, Rob Noland, who is the director of myteam, Revolution Hawaii, mentioned with urgency and delight: "blog, weekly, and email me the link." He said something like that. I need to do that. What website? I don't know. Blogger.com. Maybe.
BLOG ONE:
You hate something. I hate smelly druggies. Homeless failures. Missing-teeth, blbber-mouth drunkers. Rebelous kids. BUT STILL. Today, me, Cory, and Martina, sat with kids in a home work room at the YMCA, from around two until almost five in the afternoon. I live for this. I have counseled before. I had childcare class in high school. Work in children church. I am like a kid. Hey. My passion is there. Influencial seems best there. But I was not sure if I would relate. How would I relate to the kids. I started drawing. Kids thought it was nice, funny, whatever. Different things were thought, depending on the kid. The kid next to me drew a Japanese cartoon like ninja. One next to me was doing math. Another had a wrist band that had an interesting symbol. The kid two seats from me waved to me from a truck during departure. Near the end, I walked around. Wow. Skate board. Plastic cup creation. Almost stole girl staff's pen while filling out the application. Talked to Jess about truth as a jewel in the mist of mud, after all that. She worked with the old folks. There was love in all that we did. I think. Martina was doing arts and crafts with some eight year old girls. Or how old were those girls? But it was good. When we arrived at the YMCA, I noticed an article in a magazine talking about self-confidence. This is true. God wants you to have joy, hope, courage, confidence, purpose, and things like that: that can make you strong. YMCA's motto is about making strong people, families, communities. You know. God-confidence is more accurate. Confidence, as like God, comes from God and goes through us and is then self-confidence but not for self, from self, or anything like that. DOn't be negative. Have confidence. But good kind. It was nice to be with the kids. Because of the parents-teachers conferences, kids were stuck at the YMCA for around some hours instead of around less than an hour. This will be going on for next week, also: that makes it two weeks.
The other guys were at the boys and girls club. Around 50 kids. they played games. It was good. Fast.
I want to work with River Of Life and old people, for Wednesday and Thursday. That will be my hope. And also this other kids place.
