- As I type this, there is a 30-something guy in Starbucks spending time with a high school student…which is awesome. In the middle of what seemed to be pretty intense “mentoring” the guy’s phone rang and he took the call. it TOTALLY ruined the moment. May those of us who work with students be willing to be fully engaged (Kurt, preaching to himself).
- Saw “Brothers” the other night. It’s rated R, so some may choose to avoid it but I found it quite compelling, disturbing, encouraging all at the same time. It is a little cliche, but a good story overall.
- I am swimming about 4 days a week and loving it. However, I have discovered that I am extremely hungry after swimming….WAY more so than after any other form of exercise. Any swimmers or health professionals out there that can explain this?
- Spent about 2 hours yesterday afternoon with Josh Griffin, our high school pastor, talking about youth ministry…specifically the future of ours. I think the next 5 years will take us on an incredible ride, and I’m thrilled he’s helping to lead the way.
- …Almost ten minutes later, and “30 something mentor/cell phone guy” is still yapping away while the high schooler is twiddling his thumbs…literally! Uugghhhh!

Kurt, I think it was time for an intervention… You should have stepped in there and said “uh.. excuse me sir… but you are in violation of the no-cell phone rule while meeting with students.”

I’m not a swimmer or a health professional, but I have a swimmer in my youth group. Her coach told all the parents that during a 2 hour swim practice, the kids were burning 10000-12000 calories. That probably explains the extra hunger.
That is exactly it! I am a swim coach and student minister. After a good work out your body is demanding more energy. Eating high carb foods before a good swim can also help. It will allow your body to burn off those carbs quicker. Unless you are trying to lose weight.
