Deader than a Door Nail

it's that time of the year where I begin to see people drop off the face of the earth. Our last class for Confirmation was last week and we had 55 kids easily out our youth ministry gathering...last night we had 22 people. Now had this blog been started earlier I would have been complaining about growing pains...how we had too many people coming and we just weren't ready...but last night that group of kids were so dead...they were zoned out. Now my adults the optimists that they are gave me excuses...time change, severe storms, spring break coming...however one smart adult as we were leaving told me the truth...now that Confirmation is over they have the mind set that they are done...How sad is that? But how true? I need to find a way to conquer this way of thinking. And it ain't gonna be easy....maybe I'll start with a few facebook messages and then a few phone calls. God's Peace!
