On the first Saturday of the month (ok, this is the second Saturday, but holidays don’t count!), we will be initiating a “CaptionThis” contest. (But, hey, we are readily acknowledging that we have lifted this from bloggers like MarkO and Oddwalk who have already engaged in such insanity.)
We have a winner! In the end, the finalists included:
>> Okay I know that Mike Patin was at the original Wednesday addresses, but I STILL say he has misinterpreted that section of Theology of the Body!
>> Demonstrating the new 2011 WYD theme: “Planted and Built up in Jesus Christ, Firm in the Faith”
>> Popple decides on youth ministry when “synchronized-standing-on-you-head” fails to gain acceptance as an Olympic sport.
>>what Matt Maher’s bouncers do to those who cross-clap to “His Grace Is Enough”.
>> There has been a lot of talk about a paradigm shift and a renewed vision on Scott’s Miller’s site but, this “new vision” seems a little extreme.
But, congratulations to Chris Weber for:
>> …and from that day on every ice-breaker had to be approved in advance by the Virtus coordinator.
Chris, your “CYM no prize” is on its way!
We’ll do this all again in February. Thanks, all for playing along!

1: …and from that day on every ice-breaker had to be approved in advance by the Virtus coordinator.
2: I get why they call it “Sardines,” but don’t you think you’re taking the rules a little too seriously?
3: The fact that Mike Patin and Scott Miller had failed to take into account the similarities between mustaches and velcro only added to the awkward.

Do you think we’ll be able to make it back to our rooms by check-in/lights out?

This the latest in APeX’s line up… we’ve all seen Gene get out of the straight jacket, now watch Gene & Brad get out of this. Remember, Brad’s STRONG!!!

1. “okay I’ll admit there are problems with this icebreaker…maybe if we add toothpicks and a life saver…”
2. Popple decides on youth ministry when “synchronized-standing-on-you-head” fails to gain acceptance as an Olympic sport.
3. Scott Miller shares with Roy Petitfils how he gets his inspriation for blogging. And his keen fashion sense.

Alright Sarah, if we keep really still the youth minister won’t catch us making purple.

Mike and Scott really are a couple of tree huggers

Just when you thought your pastor was a good sport about pranks, a cloth sack get’s put over your head, you lose consciousness, and….

Next slide please…this is an example of a “non-safe environment.”

What do you mean Mike said we had to get “cajun” in New Orleans? I could have SWORN he said “caged in!”

“Maybe this whole notion of ‘minister as friend’ just isn’t working out for us!” “I am beginnig to get that idea — what part of no, don’t you think they understood!”

There has been a lot of talk about a pardigm shift and a renewed vision on Scott’s Miller’s site but, this “new vision” seems a little extreme.

Mike and Scott realize the game of “Heads I win, tails you lose” can have unintended results.

Chris was playing off the twitter feed which can be found on the sidebar, and whatever happened to HBO sensibility… Help a Brother Out?

1. Theology of the Body gone wrong.
2. Can you scratch my foot?
3. It’s a good thing we didn’t try this in Canada – I hear it’s cold up there!
4. Small Groups Gone Wild!
5. I always wanted to be on CSI.

When centering prayer fails…

Of course it’s teens: They’re “just holding hands,” they didn’t notice who did it, and their facial jewelry got stuck ’cause they’re both grinning like Mike Patin.
