Complacency?
It seems that this complacency is something I can't shake...
From Be My Escape, by Relient K.
Lately, it seems like Chapter 41 is slowly, but surely, falling apart.
There's still the core few that come, but we started out with 14 youth.
Five showed up tonight.
That's not a good sign.
I mean - we've all slowed down a bit, since the retreat, but that's normal.
You can't stay completely fired up all the time.
If we were still as fired up as we were, I think we'd explode.
It was awesome, and it was intense, but it's kind of died.
Everyone's just stopped coming.
Some people have tried to blow it off, saying "Well, it's summer... blah, blah, blah..."
Yeah.
It's summer.
And we're still there.
If Steph, Jon, Christina, Scott, Derrick, and I can show up, why can't they?
Jon went to Somerset with his mother today.
I went walking for five hours.
Steph had to work.
Yet we all still found time to go to church.
It just... bothers me, sometimes.
And... we're trying to grow.
We really are.
I mean - Steph and I started the random ministry thing, so that we could feed off each other.
It's not that the opportunity to grow isn't there.
If they wanted, there's no reason they couldn't go with Steph and me and Saturdays.
But, has anyone asked?
Do they even attempt to come to church so they can know about the stuff we're doing?
No.
They've singled themselves into little groups.
Because everyone's dating each other.
There's Brittney and Yeary.
And Rebecca and Turtle.
And then there's the group that's Steph and Scott and me and anyone else who wants to be.
It's stupid the way everyone's acting.
But... I must go... I checked out eight more books at the library today, and I must get to reading... :P
