In Touch

Hello Everyone!

Well, I think we beat patience to death, don't you?

Let's talk about being in touch. Maybe I am wrong, but that seems to me to be easy if you are working with youth. Being with them as they watch tv, listen to music, talk to each other....and ASK QUESTIONS.

Who is that?
What does that mean?
What do you like?
Who is your favorite...?

Another way to keep in touch is to ask each other. You each hear and learn about things the others might miss. Share the new "cool" things that youth are into.

When you are driving the youth somewhere, listen to what they talk about. You will learn a lot.

I used to be in touch because I had four teens...with an 11 year spread. Now my youngest is 20 and I am pretty out of touch. I know some of the music, but not much else. I need to be more intentional about what youth are into these days.

So are there any other ways you can think of to keep in touch?

Next time lets look at some of the "in" stuff.
