everyone has their breaking points;

and i have met mine. i find it hard to respect someone who shows no respect for me or the other people around me. i understand that a youth leader's main job is to inform children about jesus and and the bible, but it needs to be done in a fun way, in a way that the smaller children can understand. I have tried multiple times and given many chances to Andy, but he has squashed any hopes of me, or a multitude of other senior and junior high children, of returning. He is rude, sexist, and is incapable of getting things such as games, mission trips, or even lessons together. He has relied on the senior high so heavily that the majority have given up and left, they like I, thought that the first few months were the hardest and Andy needed time to adjust, but it is coming up on a year next fall and there has been no improvements whatsoever. This may sound harsh and the members of the SPRC only hired him to teach us about the Bible, but I have learned more about the Lord in Gabriella's father's testimony than I had in any of Andy's faux lessons. He is incapable of doing his job and I think it is in the youth group's best interest that he no longer is a part of it. At the rate Mr. Gheron is going there will not be a youth group for him to teach or lead, and there is no reason they should pay him for doing nothing.

There is a lock-in on Friday, I might go, but I doubt it. The only reason I would consider would be for my friends, but I'm pretty sure none of them besides Steven and maybe James will be there. I probably will no longer attend youth group, the former highlight of my week, and I will slowly stop attending that church. I'm tired of him, and if anything he is the reason I am struggling with my faith. Favortie Aunt Kathy said, "As a Christian a person should be able to walk the walk before they talk the talk." And Andy is in no way practicing what he believes he is preaching.
