That's a poem that a very special person taught me years and years ago. He's 20 years older than I am, but has acted like he's a teenager for most of his adult life. He has a love for ministry and a gift of working with youth. The number of miles I've traveled with this man are uncountable (to Dallas, to NYC, to LA, to Mississippi, to Charleston, to Chicago, to Toronto, to California, to Mexico, and beyond). His ideas are always big, and he usually manages to pull them off. My life in Norman, Oklahoma, would not be the same if it weren't for Scott Meier. This post is for you, Scott.

I just love this! Happy Birthday, Scotty! You sure mean a lot to a lot of kids like you! {Great post, Lydia :) }
Man this makes me miss youth at McFarlin and all the fun things we did. Those videos are hilarious! Love it. Scott sure is a very special youth director. There's none like him :)
