The State of the [TEEN] Union

By groveyp

The State of the Union is the annual speech given by the president who claims everything is going to be okay. We're making strides here, we're making strides there. This is a VERY brief synopsis of the state of our teen culture and the dire need for pastors, youth pastors, youth leaders, and parents to do some things differently in order to see the kind of change that is healthy, holy, and righteous. This is an article written to inspire lives that affect the culture around us, not simply "put up with it."

Helping Students Find Happiness

By pjsports7j

What is happiness? Before you read any further take a moment and try to define happiness. 

Tomorrow I am going skiing at one of my favorite resorts in Colorado. I love to ski, I love the feeling of powder running over my skis, hitting my ski pants, and even occasionally smacking me in the face.

When I am going down the side of a mountain on a powder day, I am happy. Right?
