R U Legend!!

What's up Middle School Peeps??

Over the Christmas Break I had some down time to watch the new Will Smith movie "I AM Legend". Will Smith's character Robert Neville is alone in Manhattan seeking to find a cure for a deadly viral outbreak that turns people into vampire-like creatures known as dark-seekers. The movie is about one man's journey to remedy the situation and his personal sacrifice for the cause.

As I sat in the movie theatre watching the developing story line of Will Smith's character one word came to my mind, "change". A word associate game with the word "change" will draw a wide array of emotions. Most of us are not comfortable with change. Think for a moment about your day. When you wake up I would guess you have the same routine, at school you sit with the same people at lunch, you have the same seat in your class, and when you get home from school you watch the same T.V. shows and play the same video games (I also could add music but enough is enough).

This semester at "The Junket" we will be discussing the topic "R U Legend". Like Will Smith's character Robert Neville, we find ourselves in the midst of a crisis situation. We are not trying to find a cure for the dark-seekers that roam the 'Boro. However, as we begin our teen years we recognize life is not as it should be. We desperately desire more than this world can offer. We want to know there is a God who can provide hope for us in our current circumstances. The journey only begins once we trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of our mess. "R U Legend" is about one word "CHANGE". Changing our hearts to Change our world. Change always begins within.
