"Scary Monsters" YOUth Rally

This weekend the Martinez church hosts the annual Scary Monsters YOUth Rally. It's a really good event for our youth group to be part of, and it's one of the few "big event" youth rallies still going. Ray Lawson and his team of volunteers do a great job each year.

A drama group from Cascade College called Second Story comes each year, and Won By One from Pepperdine also comes each year. The cool thing is that they stay with us, so we get to stay at least a little connected by having them here. They are totally comfortable being here, and they are great kids... really good promos for Pepperdine!

This morning VJ fixed pancakes and bacon, and we have more snack food at the house than we usually do, so it's already been a great weekend. We'll go hear them sing tonight at the youth rally, and we may get a private preview of some of their other new songs. Also, they're gracious enough to sing on praise team at church on Sunday, so our church is blessed as well.

I'll close with another Yosemite pic. The guy on the right is our friend, Ron, and I think this spot is perhaps the most picturesque of any we saw last weekend.
