lol Steven. :P

Tabitha, thanks for looking up the quote. It's not quite as dignified when it comes from a cartoon, eh?! :P

One thing that stood out was a quote (which I couldn’t tell you the source of… perhaps you can enlighten me): “I have met the enemy and it is me.”

Hi Jason, I was reading your entry and decided it would be interesting to look-up the origins of the quote. Anyway according to Wikipedia the quote comes from a cartoon strip called “Pogo” produced by a man named Walt Kelly. The earliest form of this expression (”We have met the enemy and it is us”)appeared in his introduction to The Pogo Papers in 1953 and it is a paraphrase of Commodore Perry’s “We have met the enemy and he is ours” from the War of 1812.

I’m glad I read your entry TWICE, Jason. The first time I read it (because of the way it appeared on my screen) I thought it said there was a three hour youth session jam. I had images of a rock concert and mosh pits but I couldn’t figure out how Kevin, Chris, and Phil were leading this kind of “jam”. :) Then I realized it was saying that the session was “jam-full”…now I understand! I’d hate to get the wrong impression or anything.

Thanks Jay. It would have been great to hear Jeremy and Elizabeths testimony. Sounds like a challenging message put to the youth. have been praying and hope that God uses this conference to work in ppls lives, just like Jeremy and Elizabeth testify that they have in theirs.
