"This is in fact, the Big Question. Does God exist; Is he there? And if he is, does he care about me? And MY smallness and MY suffering and MY struggles...? From the very beginning, God has been reaching out to you, wanting you to see that there is one bigger and more amazing then anything you could ever imagine. He is not a distant God, as if he was some deistic entity that certainly gets the world spinning, but steps back and could care less what the outcome is. That's not our God at all. This is the big G God, the one that makes something out of nothing, and looks down and says, 'Mine. My son. My daughter. My world. And it is good."
Chris Padgett, Steubenville East 2007, the weekend my life changed entirely. All of us that were there have gone so far in life, and we're all so different, and yet we all still feel the connection that we had. We may not all be friends any longer, but the bond we all shared will last a lifetime, regardless of the paths our lives take.
