To Save a Life Page #4

we're proud of you.

Yeah, I really felt that

from the one game that he went to.

- He's really busy at the office.

- Mom, just stop defending him.

- He's just...

- Doesn't get it! It's my life, not his.

- Where you going?

- I'm going to church.

Had he been there? No.

And notice how he prays to God.

My favorite part is verse eight.

He starts off his prayer

with the word "remember."

- Why would he use that word, "remember"?

- Jake Taylor?

What are you...

- What are you doing here?

- What do you mean?

You don't really seem

like the Christian type.

I'm just... I'm looking for Chris.

He's back here. It's almost over.

- So...

- Yeah.

Danny. It's so good to see you.

Tell your father his sermons just get better

and better every Sunday.

You're gonna be just like him.

- Your dad's a priest?

- Yeah, something like that.

- Jake, right?

- Yeah.

I'm Andrea. Welcome to Souled Out,

and here's a nametag.

- What is it, Rainbow Day?

- You didn't get my message?

Don't worry, you can borrow this.

- Thanks.

- So, here's the deal, guys.

We can know all this stuff,

and we can go through this book

until mullets come back in style.

- That girl freaks me out.

- Until we allow this to go through us

and change how we live,

it's a waste of time.

So we always gotta ask ourselves,

- "What are we gonna do about it?"

- Jake Taylor.

So I'm gonna wrap this up,

I know you're dying,

but I gotta ask you something first.

What would you do for $20?

Would you French kiss a dog?

How about this?

Would you take your mom to the prom?

I'd take your mom. She's hot.

Good, we know what Billy would do.

You know, we'd do all kinds of crazy things

for 20 bucks.

But what would you do for a penny?

Would you take your mom to the prom now?

French kiss that dog?

See, the crazy thing is,

is we treat people the very same way.

Some are worth our time and some we just

pass right by like they're worthless.

Last week,

I conducted Roger Dawson's funeral.

You know, some of you may not know this,

but Roger came into our youth group

the Sunday before he...

You know, it's easy to blame.

But last week, Roger took a look at his life

and he said, "I'm not worth it."

So whatever he was hoping to find here,

he obviously didn't find it.

Do we get this?

Because if we don't,

the consequences are huge.

You don't want to do this, man.

Like you ever cared.

Hey, Jake! Hey, man, you made it.

- You okay after last night?

- Yeah. Sorry I was late.

- No, I'm just stoked you're here.

- Liked your speech.

Okay. Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

So, girlfriend still got your truck?

Yep.

If you got 10 minutes,

I can give you a ride home. Is that cool?
