We have been talking about leadership in youth group the last few weeks.  I must be honest and say that it has been amazing.  I finally see how my mentors in the past looked at us youth.  I am continually blown away by the courage, boldness, and passion these kids have for God and for their community.  I think that us adults need to take a good hard look at this.  I know I am not the only one who has had the epiphany that you realize that in growing up and experiencing life that it is incredibly easy to become cynical and bitter.  I challenge all my peers and elders to look through your life with the thoughts as a youth.  I think Paul had some great wisdom when he challenged Timothy to be a leader.  We are all called to have the faith of a child, I think for the first time ever I am starting to see first hand what that actually means ;-)
