Let it snow, let it snow, let is snow.

While Charlotte is running to the grocery store, stocking up on milk, eggs and bread (I swear, the weather forecast in Charlotte must be sponsored by Harris Teeter!), I am up in West Virginia with the senior high youth on a ski trip.  It's 3:15 on Friday and we are still waiting for that much anticipated snowfall to top off our ski weekend.

After a fun day on the slopes on Friday, Neil and I are teaching on Saturday about how to articulate your faith.  From Tweeter to Facebook to Texting, youth are "forced" to explain their faith in 100 characters or less.  Talk about a challenge.  Can you do that?

Through the use of role play, Bible reading, reflection and conversation, each youth will write down in 100 characters or less what they believe about God, the Bible, suffering, Jesus and other religions.  So that when they find themselves in a conversation with a skeptic, they will be prepared.  As it says in 2 Peter 3:16, "Always be prepared to give an account for the hope that you have in God."

We should all be so ready!
