April 19: Check Your Record
Teenagers probably need about twenty-seven hours to complete everything they would like to do in a twenty-four-hour day. They are busy with school, friends, media, sports, music, drama, clubs, work, family demands, etc. This session helps youth ask, Where is God in all the stuff I do? How does my list of activities reflect my faith? Does what I do show my love for Christ?

Don't Be Afraid
There are times when we are afraid. Sometimes bad things happen, and we are terrified. It seems like there’s a lot to be afraid of in our world: bad weather (including tornadoes!), terrorist attacks, school shootings, and even bullying. We have a lot of reasons to be afraid. But we also have someone who calms our fears.

But it staged an Easter on me about eight months later. I was walking the dusty lanes of a small Honduras village when that phrase I had buried in West Jackson ambushed me in Central America.
