I love the young adults that I have in my little youth club.

I love that they act like adults until a game or competition is on offer. They still love to play and no one is too cool to do so.

I love the silliness, the banter, the humour and that they understand sarcasm.

I love the acceptance and the forgiveness.

I love that they are teachable and open to all views and ideas. They may have strong opinions but they will listen to another view point, absorb it, assess it and then decide whether to accept or reject it.

It is wonderful that God stirs up different passions in different people. People take a stand for the environment and children and wildlife and all sorts of things – and that’s great, really REALLY great because we need those people to take a stand and make a difference in the world we are living in now.

My thing is to educate the next generation because I think that the real change will come from giving young people the information they need to choose well in their lives. That’s what I really love about spending time my youth.
