the idea of beauty interests me. I know that when josh first told me about jeffrey, the 3-time high school senior who had no one and called young life "going to church" because he'd never been to one, but he liked YL so much, I mentally pictured him as a skinny tall kid with long black hair in his face smoking a cigarette. Basically: attractive.

Jeffrey's really kind of pudgy, has teenage boy facial hair, and girly handwriting. And I've prayed so much for this kid that I feel like I know him. And I really like him for what he wrote to me.

Why do I default to imagining him as attractive? Because that has no impact on his personality. He's a wonderful kid who found christ at YL camp and will never be the same, because that's what jesus does to people. And I think he's another notch in my book teaching me not to judge people or assume things about them. Because this kid is a rockstar. And he deserves to be free from judgement.
