What Youth Want

We who know that money can't really buy you happiness often think the young fall into this trap. During seminars when we ask participants the question "What do youth want?" somehow money always makes it into the list.

In a recent poll made by MTV on youth ages 13-24 "What makes youth happy" turns out money isn't as interesting to the youth as most think it is. here's a quote.

"...when asked what one thing makes them happiest, almost nobody in the poll mentioned money or anything material."

So my question is how many stereotypes from our generation do we attribute to younger generations?

Have You Got Your Game On?

I love basketball. I can relate to all those guys who think being in the NBA or the PBA would be the ultimate dream job. You love your work, you're at the forefront of your game and you're actually being paid to do the thing you love. For the past week or so I’ve been feeling like that. I’m in the youth ministry and somehow my spirit soars. I love the work and I'm somewhere on the forefront of the game. I haven't been actually been paid yet...but the truth is I would pay to be here. Here is where I want to be, this is what I want to do.
