Yeah, yeah, I know I've been away too long. Things have been crazy, but once I finally can get online at the new place I'll be back to blogging like I mean it. In the meantime, if you are interested in the relationship between young people and the church, read this article. Then, as I said on the LCS Facebook page, read it again.
