Life-teen update (10-29-2006)

As another beautiful Wenatchee week rears its morose, homework-ridden head to attack us while we attempt to sleep in on Monday morning, take heart. Before the school week can jump on you faster than a starving Somalian refugee on a plate of free hamburgers, God is there. “There” you say? “Where exactly is ‘there?’ ” I am glad you asked. Since we are all good solid Catholics (as opposed to hopeless pagan followers of Zeus) we get to have a God who is incorporeal ( a very classy word to use at a cocktail party), which is a nice big fancy word that means He does not have a physical body. This means if you already bought your plane tickets for Greece to visit him on Mount Olympus you might want to see about getting a refund. Instead I highly recommend coming to this weeks life night after the 5:30 Mass. While God might be omnipresent (another great cocktail party word meaning that he is present everywhere), he will be particularly present as we celebrate the Eucharist at Mass. After Mass all are invited over to the life night in the school gym. This week we are attempting to put together a coffee shop atmosphere where you can talk freely amongst yourselves. This stands in sharp contrast to our normal atmosphere of having Jeremy stand up and monologue for an hour while everyone sits back and longs for a tomato to throw. Thus, two things will be different from last week. 1. More participation will be needed from all those involved, except Jeremy, and 2. Tomato stock is expected to fall in an amount directly proportional to #1. All this being said please come over right after Mass. For those of you who have never had the opportunity to attend such fantastic things as a St. Joseph’s Life-Night, then this is your big chance. All are welcome to come over and have a cup of hot chocolate while enjoying the company and delightful conversation of your peers. If you have recently been out of town, really busy with homework, fighting off invaders from other solar systems, or missing youth group for any number of other perfectly valid reasons, then this is your call to return. While we may not have enough fun to choke a camel this week, we can certainly try.
