Tonight is the Night

Tonight is our big night. It is our annual fundraising banquet. This year we have having some awesome dessert catered by Christie Kroeze. Please be in prayer for this event as we are striving to raise money to send kinds on trips, support the local ministry here in Arlington and support ourselves. Please pray that God's hand will be on this event, that lives will be touched and that people will see the value and need for Youth Dynamics. Here is a link to our article in the local paper.

What are the consequences?

This picture of olympic superstar Michael Phelps came about this week in a Tabloid magazine. He posted this statement

"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," Phelps said in a statement released by Octagon, his management firm, and posted on his Facebook site. "I'm 23 years old, and despite the successes I have had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public - it will not happen again."

So what are your thoughts? What do you think needs to happen? I know that being a swim and water polo coach for many years I had many high school students that I worked with that looked up to Michael Phelps and many the high school girls with crushes on Michael Phelps...so what is it? Do we accepts it as a mistake? He is young and we all make mistakes. Should be be punished for something dumb?
