In light of my rambling post from 3 a.m. last night (and if you thought THAT was bad, be glad that you don’t have to read my personal diary), I thought you might enjoy this.  When I walked into my office this morning, there was a new stack of journals from one of our middle school programs.  If you’ll remember, we give the girls 20 minutes to write in their journals each week and then they give them to their small group leader who takes them home to respond to them before bringing them back the next week. 

As I was moving the stack out of the way, I glanced down at one of them and noticed the word “BOYS” scrawled in all caps.  I was, of course, intrigued and decided to investigate.  Here’s what I read, straight from the journal of a sixth grade girl:

Hey, wuz up!

I thought I was going out with this really hot guy named ——, but I got 2 church last night and he said he was just playing around and had another girlfriend.  I felt like crying!  I made up a poem about it.

{The poem is written here, but she has scribbled it out to where you can’t read it anymore.}

I’m through w/ guys.  They all tell lies, the break your heart and make you cry.  Loving guys is such a sin. 

HEY – check out that guy that just walked into the cafeteria!!!”

I love how she was “through with guys” until she looked up to see an apparent hottie walking by our program.  And I’m just oh so blessed by the knowledge that “loving guys is such a sin.”
