Blogging is not easy and Junior High Kids Can Be Less Than Loving

I am blown away by professional and simi-professional bloggers. There are some people out there that really have something to say. I thought I was one of them, but having only blogged about 8 times in two months I do not believe I can put myself in the same categories with real bloggers.
I enjoy the sound of my own typing. I think I am being productive. I could read a book, but after about 8:00 if I am reading it is like a formality before sleep. But I must stop and talk about something important so that I will keep my 3 followers interested. While I am on that topic. Thanks for reading my blog. We need to come up with a a secret hand shake. I would like to add at least 2 more people to my "following" so I could make up a rec-basketball team. Why 2 and not just one and include myself? Someone has to coach and keep a pair of fresh legs for last minute shots.
I would like to mention that I have attempted several other post. They did not make it past my wife and editor.
I did want to blog about something earlier this week and I guess now is a good time to do it.
Junior High Kids Can Be Less Than Loving
I love teaching junior high school Sunday school with my wife. The kids are funny and it has been a great way to get to really know the youth in my church. If you would have told me I would feel the way I do about junior high kids before I started teaching them at school and church I would have called you crazy. But, with all the fun they can be they can also be pretty hurtful. I hate this at school, but it breaks my heart to see it at church. Church has got to be a place of safety for these kids, but they themselves seem to make it just as harsh as the world outside. I was thinking about this for a while and it occurred to me. Are junior high kids any different than adults? I am not trying to be all doom and gloom. They may not be any harder on each other than the grown ups are. The grown ups have just learned to keep their mouth shut at the appropriate time. After all adults often wait until you leave the room to start talking about you junior high kids do it while you are in the same class. I will continue on a this some other time.
