The charm of a ten-year-old. You almost had me.

So, tonight I had the sweet privilege of speaking to some of the youth at Old Gospel Lighthouse, a church I just adore in Clifton, Texas. Sadly, a lot of the kids couldn't make it because of a play practice they were in... But, let me tell you, the ones who showed up were show stoppers.

I talked about Jeremiah 29. Basically, God has the plans, we don't.

It went pretty well. Mostly it was older kids... but the kiddos in the front row were all around the very mature age of ...10 :) and super fidgity. The youth in the next two rows were older and I found that I had to for the most part look at them, because the young ones in the front would have had me laughing. I had some great questions asked about the sermon, but these were some of my favorites from the little guys up front.

"Do you talk to a lot of churches? You speak very good. How many churches have you been to?" This little guy was all business. (He said he wanted to be a missionary one day too)

"What do you want to do when you grow up? (After I said I was so excited about Campus Ministry... I repeated, ummm campus ministry)

"What is your favorite Christian song?" In the moment, I went blank and gave him the name of my little brother Levi's favorite, "Our God is Greater" (which I also love).

"What is the best question you've ever been asked?" (I had no idea, so I told him he just won that one)

and my favorite:

"Can I have your phone number?" Umm... he may have been 10, but I'm pretty sure I blushed.
