Never a dull moment at Youth Group...

A while ago, I decided to challenge the youth a bit and discuss the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:3-23, Mark 4:3-20, Luke 5:5-15). After we had read the parable and discussed it, I had them get into two groups and write their own version of the parable.

The youth, of course, split themselves into groups by gender. The girls wrote a sweet and innocent parable about a flower. The boys, however, wrote what is below. I have kept everything intact, including spelling errors:

"God gives 4 people a car.
One broke down and fell into pices.
The other one ran out of gas.
Another one set on fire because of a gas expelosion.
The 4th car drove home without any problems.
The first car didn't belive in Jesus so the devil came and broke his car.
The 2nd car ran out of gas because he belive in god for a little bit but his tire flow off so they stopped beliveing god.
The 3rd car belive in god for a little bit but he started getting hype over his car and stopped beliveing god.
The 4th one belive god and listen to him and drove home pimpen in his crystler 300."

And THAT is the Parable of the Sower, according to the teenage boys in my Youth Group. Amen!
