As you might immagine, my own kids need quite a bit of my attention. As of late, I have tried to use the last part of my day to connect with teens just after school (2:30 - 5:30 PM). I have also used facebook and myspace and text messaging as a way of "sitting on the steps". I also give rides to some (male only) students to and from our ministry gatherings. This has given me a chance to ask a few of those key questions you mentioned in the blog. I appreciate all that you wrote about and will continue to become the audience to my audience.
