Special Guest Ken Freeman!
When Mr. Castillo came from the Middle School came to me and told me we were going to have Ken Freeman speak here, I got excited. When he told me he wanted to make it a full-blown assembly instead of a regular meeting, I got really excited. Despite a communication mix-up, Ken Freeman made it here on Wednesday December 9th, and boy was it ever a good time.
Arriving to a packed-out gym of over 500 students from the High School and Middle School, Ken Freeman gave a message that captivated and involved everyone in the room, students and teachers alike. When you use visual aids like hundred-dollar bills, and you tell stories about passing gas, you can bet that you’ll hold someone’s attention.
Freeman’s main point was “You’re one choice away from changing your life.” He spoke frankly about how today’s teenagers, many of them in the room that day, are only one choice away from changing their life good or bad. They are one choice away from getting a girl pregnant. One choice away from dying in a drunken car wreck. One choice away from overdosing on drugs. One choice away from a changed life.
Freeman shared the story of his own past, relating that you can “turn a mess into a message”. He promised finish up the story that night at First Baptist Church in Bristow, where I’m told the crowd was even bigger than it had been earlier that day.
Micah,
I hope you can come back and visit us at little ol’ KV
I know you are going to get something good out of this. Its not just random luck that you’ve been so pumped up about Christ and then suddenly get a better job offer. Its what God has planned! Keep up the good work! I will miss you
