February 2, 2010 Yes, Lord! Yes. Lord! Yes! Yes, Lord! Amen! Another moment from the youth convention over the weekend. This was Sunday morning about an hour before Mass. It's kind of funny; we took about 1,400 pictures over the weekend. This morning, I remembered the official registration numbers. There were about 1,400 kids there.

February 1, 2010 The Diocesan Catholic Youth Conference (DCYC) was this past weekend and David and I chaperoned for the third year in a row. I think we will still be chaperoning this event when our grand-kids go. There were some amazing moments, forming and transforming. There was a lot of fun and a lot of tears. I did not know these girls before this weekend. But they are pretty special to me now. I am privileged enough to be part of their faith formation. I took this picture Sunday morning near the end of the conference. They slept most of the ride home too.
