Youth Pizza Party!!!

Bro. Hiller called Mom a few minutes ago. He says that he needs pizzas for Sunday night. That means that I'll be working Sunday afternoon. That takes part of the fun out of it, but at least Neal can stop worrying. Bro. Hiller said that he wants the youth to get together at least once a month.

Way to go Neal!

This is my first post. Neal asked several of us to post to this blog. I said I would, but it isn’t as easy as he said it would be. I’m using one of the computers at church, since Mom pawned the one at home again. I wouldn’t be posting at all but I’m afraid that Neal write another boring post about what he did tonight.

We had a business meeting. You know how they go. It was pretty much normal until Bro. James asked for new business. Neal stood up and waved both arms. “I have got something,” he said. “I want to make a motion that we ask Bro. Hiller to take on the responsibilities of the youth ministry.”

Bro. James looked kind of surprised and said, “I guess we could do that. Do we have a second?”

No one said anything and then Neal’s Dad said, “I’ll second it.”

It seemed like a simple enough thing, but people had to discuss it. It seemed like there were a lot of people against it. They couldn’t decide if Bro. Hiller would be willing to do it or how much they would pay him. They didn’t know if they should pay him a full-time youth minister’s salary or a full-time associate pastor’s salary.

They finally decided that they would have to pay him twice what they had planned to pay him as a half-time associate pastor. Then after all that discussion, the motion passed unanimously. It seems like a waste of time to get there, but it looks like we are going to have a youth minister again.

There, Neal, I’ve posted something. You can quit bugging me about it now.
