Don't have much time, but wanted to shout it out

It's 11:22 and it's been a long day. Jim's snoring in the bed behind me, so I'm typing as quietly as I can.

2 salvations tonight...Griffin and Trey. That's right. Trey.

Griffin was first. Today's theme was "Choose Jesus," and they hammered it home all day. They heard it in Quiet time, "I can't Wait!," Bible Study, REC, Track Time, and Worship. And I topped it off presenting the ABC's in Church group time. I stressed that any kid that wanted to talk about becoming a Christian, I wanted them to talk to an adult. Griffin said as we walked out the door that "he wanted to talk more when we got back to the condo." I assumed he meant the dorm, but we only went a few feet out the door, when he told me that he wanted to be baptized. This is the kid that was crying because he didn't want to leave his dad yesterday when we left! And about 30 hours later, he was wanting to start a relationship with Jesus. We stopped right there and went over the ABC's with a hybrid Roman road. He said he understood, so I led him in the sinner's prayer! Another party in heaven! Woo hoo!
We called his mom on the spot to let her know what we had talked about! It was great!
And my arm is covered in sharpie...I digress. More about that one tomorrow.

After the party time, there was some free time and Trey got into it with Pam because she wouldn't allow him to spend any more of his money. I backed her up, and he stormed off, doing his sullen walk. I let him know that if that's the way he wanted to act, he needed to go back to his room. He ran into new Terry on the way, had the same talk I had had, and Terry told him to go to his room, as well. After a long talk with Kim re: my dad, and some boys throwing rocks and sand at our girls, I made it back to the dorm to find Trey and Griffin and 2 staffers playing a game out front. Trey wouldn't even look at me. I asked him if he was still mad. He said he was, so I made him head on up to his room, where he slammed the door. I waited a few minutes, and went in to talk to him. The conversation was about our anger and healthy ways to control it. But then it morphed into talk about his grandma who passed away earlier this year, the one who brought him to church, and his mom who is in jail. We talked about what it meant to be a Christian, and I asked if he thought he was one. I asked if he wanted to be, and then we talked about his grandma in heaven. After some more conversation, I told him how easy it was to become a Christian. He agreed and prayed the Sinner's Prayer, and now he's living, and he's never going to stop! Woo hoo, double time!

As I said, it's late, and I need to finish getting ready for bed. 6:30 comes early!
