Honesty

70% of teenagers claim to have cheated on a test. 69% of Christian teenagers claim to have cheated on a test. 92% of teens admit to having lied to their parents. Why is it so hard for teenagers (and adults too) to be completely honest? This was the topic of our discussion last night in Bible Study. Honesty is always the best policy but not always the easiest one.

We finally played the game that I had set up last week. 90 balloons with letters in them. First the relay portion where the teams got the balloons one at a time. Then they took the letters that were in them and had to make words in order to score points. It was quite amusing to watch the kids fight over the balloons and then think hard about words worth the most points.

Oh yeah, we started out with a challenge from a couple of my former youth to go on the mission trip this summer. They wrote of how much the trip meant to them. We had a good many questions asked and answered. I'm ready for the mission trip now! I think a good many of the kids are too!
