good memories about Corey

You ever just have really good memories come back? Last night, after Collide, i was sitting at Cheddars with The Radiance Effect, Tish, and Lloyd. We were enjoying the food, the conversation, and a lot of laughs. But it reminded me when I was the Student Pastor at First Baptist Nixa and Corey was in my youth group. One weekend we took the group to Branson to ride go-carts, go put-putting, etc. So we had just gone go-carting, and were on our way to put-put (which if you know Branson you know that a drive across the town can take and hour). We were pulling into the put-put place when my phone rang. I heard Corey say, "Where you going man?" "we're going put-putting man" "wow, i wish i could go with you." "what are you talking about dude? you need money?" "no, i need a ride." "you're on the back of my van" Just then i looked into the rear-view mirror to see that Corey wasn't there. "Where are you Corey?" "i'm at the go-cart track. You left me in the bath room!"

ha ha... so we went back and got him... oh, but the joys of being a youth pastor and leaving a student (especially Corey martin) and totally forgetting them. that is a good memory! sorry Corey.
