Although you may not be able to tell from this picture, Kyle is on target as a teen. Any guy who can find plaid skater pants and a Tony Hawk T-shirt for $3 ea. is at least a good shopper! By the way, I don't think he even owns a stick!
Kyle has recently joined the YG (by graduation) and is beginning to show some signs of leadership. Being a 9th grader means that you have to find your place in the group. With an older brother in the group too, the place is probably off in a corner somewhere. But Kyle has recently taken on an important role. He will be helping me with games for Marshmallow Madness (May 12). It is not that I can't handle it myself, nor is it that Kyle is not competitive, ... he is in training. He will be helping run the games at VBS and probably at the summer missions trip to Springville, NY. I hope to help him develop his gaming skills to the point that he will run the games for youth group as well. The problem now is that he has no creativity; everything ends up being hockey or football with him. Have a little imagination Kyle, and remember to smile! :)
I do like hockey and football,
Mike

I believe Kyle is creative. He was create in the image of a creator God! He's most likely lazy or comfortable or unexperienced in taping into his creativity. He just needs some guidance. So if you could put him alongside of someone who is mad creative that would help stimulate his underlying, dormant creativeness. -Tony Hawk is the man!-for a skater.
You guys are so sensitive. Kyle is creative. He and I worked on a hockey modification that I think will be very effective. He came up with a great idea for making a marshmallow football! He melted a pile of marshmallows in a bowl then froze it. We wrapped the ball of goo in handiwrap so that we didn't get all sticky. Gr8 idea!
I saw some of that dormant creativity coming out when we sat down and discussed the issue.
It even caused a discussion with Kyle's dad aboutKyle's progress and growth through this ministry opportunity. YES!
