The Perfect Match...
Nerds are cool!
About Us...
- Andrew Elms
- Wichita Falls, TX, United States
- I am the youth director of a great group of teenagers and college age young people who love God, love church, and love each other. We enjoy spending time with one another and always find a way to have a good time. Whether its just hanging out together, being at 7.25 (our youth service), or praising God in church, we always have great fun.

i think you should get bigger fans or somthin cause it is way to hot in there!!! or maby we should start havn 725 outside or somthin but then you got certain people who would get distracted to easy so nvr mind!
PAINT IT a LESS TIRING COLOR!!!! I'll help!!!!!! Could also stand some more comfortable furniture, wall decore, better circulation, clean up the kitchen with minor repairs and paint, and do something with the old office. Maybe a timeout room for Bro. Andrew when he looks like a troll after 7.25!:) Not that I've thought about any of this or anything...lol
Definitely more FANS!!! IT's WAY too hot in there even when we're not really doing anythin or it's colder than Antarctica (in the winter!) Brother Lynn stole ALL my ideas! We NEED more furniture PERIOD!!! For those 7.25 where we just relax and have fun, the fold out chairs are REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE!!!! I think the kitchen and the office/whatever room need to reflect the loft. I mean it's like, jamming youth room, and then, boring white, old loft with boring feel to it!!! The loft should invite visitors and be exciting. To leave an impression on them where they want to come back!!! Wall decor and paint would be nice, but I'm really not sure until you lay out a few things, but one thing is for sure, the numbers need to stay!!! I have had several people ask me about the numbers 7.25 and what they mean and I was able to use it as a witnessing oppurtunity!!! Oh yeah!! Pictures on the wall mite be nice like the old youth group had, but we need to update them every now and then!! I mean there were pictures up on that wall from like 20 years ago!!! They shouldn't be up that long, maybe every year or so they should change!! I myself take plenty of pictures and I know everyone else does too!! I would scrapbook the pictures, but in high school I don't really have time!!! Again, the loft should be inviting, filled with LOVE!!! WE COUL CALL IT THE LOVE LOUNGE!!!! YES!!! Ok, jk, but the loft could be cooler and I'm not talking about some psycadelic lime color either, but the keyword inviting seems to come to my mind!!! Just a few thoughts!!
-Kat
Ok...I agree! I have some ideas, and I need more. I have some really cool ideas concerning pictures (Kathy), and hopefully will be able to implement them soon. Bro. Lynn, some ideas on different colors would be great. I am good with changing colors or mixing it up a bit. Also, give me ideas for the old office...the sky is the limit here. Be creative!!!
One thing that they did in Alexandria for one of the youth office rooms was that they got this awesome purple paint, picked up the can and splattered it on the wall
-Kat
I know whatever ya'll do will be GREAT and EXCITING! I can't wait to see it happen!
ooooo i like that idea Kat, come on bro Andrew lets just throw some paint on the wall, you know itll be fun dont deny it.......lol
Jessica
Lol well thats cool but i think we should go for a krazy wild theme..i love the splattering of the paint and maybe like some psychedelic swirls ya know?? Lol o and itd be cool to kinna dedicate a wall or something to like nothing but pics of the youth like at retreat, HYC, or just anything where we're hanging out or something....either way we should get messy while doing it. thats always mucho fun...lets make it groovy
Ya'll are crazy!!! I definately want to be fun, but i'm not sure about having paint wars in the loft.
O come it wont be a paint war if you het the right people to do it, but that sounds cool, you know you want to!!!!!
Jessica
Paint wars would be oh so ama-za-zing!!! Like paintball w/o the pain!!! Come on Bro. Andrew!!! U know it would be fun!!! It seems we all are agreeing on the pictures on the wall!!! We would have sooooo much fun with the paint, though
-Kat
Ok, I have to get in on this now! LOL! I definitely want to be there if you have the paint wars and I DEFINITELY want to be standing around the corner watching when Pastor comes up to see what's going on! LOL!! I can see the look on his face right now! LOL! It makes me laugh thinking about. I think ya'll are fantastic and crazy all at the same time! Love you!
o come on sis Elms you can get in on it to you all know it will be fun and if bro Elms comes up well, we will have to get 'em.....LOL!!!! i love it we have to do that, just put a bunch of that plastic stuff on the floor, itll be fine i promise, hehe!!! im excited
Jessica
I totally agree with Jessica. We could put that plastic stuff on the floor, wear really old clothes that we wouldn't mind destroying, and then let loose and have fun!!! I think that would be soooo much fun!!! I know everyone in the youth group will enjoy that and it would be a great bonding moment!!! Sis. Elms, you and Bro. Elms should join in the fun, as well!!! It would be a complete blast!!!!!!!
-Kat
HAHA ok I have to get into this even though I won't be there for it! in the "paint wars" theme, instead use actual painballs! then put a laquer coat over it so it wont go away, just a whiteall with a ton of different colored paintballs, but if your gonna fix anythign , number one has gotta be ...THE CARPET! that stuff is nasty and old and dirty! it needs to be just random and sweet, that way visitors can walk in, and feel like they just walked into the coolest room ever. A room full of adventure and excitement! And the office: I'm thinking beanbags, xbox, and maybe a fooseball table or something. and not just boring old lights, you need colored ones, that change with the music! those are fun. Ok i'm done giving ideas.
Love and miss all yall!
Kris
ok. yall why dont we just get really big water guns and fill them full of paint. all differnt colors and then shoot the walls. we deffinatly need to get new carpet. we should get like red shag carpet. or bright blue or neon green. we should make a wall just for pics. that would be absolutely amazing. and i think bro and sis elms should get in on the fun. we could have like guys vs the girls. i would like to bro and sis elms have a shoot out. with water guns that are full of paint. we should get like a dsico ball that has different colored lights and hang it in the middle of the room.we do need more fans, it gets to hot up there for my blood. NEW FURNITURE!! those folding charis are like seriously giving me a pain. the numbers need to stay. and the office well i kinda agree with chris . but i dont think that room is big enough for a foozeball tableinstead of a disco ball in the office we should do black lights. or neon lights. we should put neon lights around the numbers. all different colors. and for the kitchen. well make it more then just white. we could do graffiti. on the walls. just get spray cans and do some really cool graffiti. that would be cool. we could have some one grafiti our portraits on the walls. it would be cool and yall know it. btu deffenitly shag carpet.um i guess thats about it. yeah thats all.
well i know i havent been here for very long i like how it is but it just needs alittle more decoration on the walls and i knida like jessicas idea where we draw our names and stuff on the walls so it can have a little bit of everyones personality like wee just have one wall where we do that on and then bro. andrew pics a wall and hangs pictures on the walls of our youth trips and things that happen at the church and stuff like that cause its pretty cool how it is and we need a good air conditioner
Leslie
i actually like all these ideas, tey all sound really fun to do and hopefully we will get some new lounge chairs and furniture, preferably bean bags and those one really big circular chairs,i dk what they aer called but ya its sounds good to me!!!!!
Jessica
i really didnt get to finish what i had to say about the room the bell rang and i ahd to go to my next class but n*e*waz then it would have a little bit of everyone but we also should have a little bit of seriousness on the walls to like posters that make u think alittle bit and i think brother andrew knows what kind of posters im talkin about if not ill explain but n*e*waz i think the colors r good it just need a little character and maybe another couch or two if they'll fit with all the chairs but i thinks thats about it and if i have more ideas ill let yall know
okay i love the idea of painting the walls a different color... maybe even like a really bright color like orange or yellow... yeah i know those are really bright but at least it wouldnt make us sleepy like the navy does... and for the whole pictures on the wall idea i do think we should dedicate one wall to just pics of the youth, like someone said, but we dont have to change them out every single time... we can just add new ones to the wall... have a better variety of fun, crazy times..you know memories. this is all making me very excited and i dont really know if im considered youth or what but i definately want to help.. especially if there is really a paint war...lol! and also love the idea of getting new furniture...i think what is up in the loft now has definately gotten its fair share of being used...lol!
shannon
New carpet. A must!!! The office would awesome with Kris' suggestions!!! I was talking to Ayrian about shirts today and she would like it if we had a shirt the navy color with super sheep on the front (like a baseball tee) and then a silver cape attached that had a punching hand and saying Powernite and Matthew 7:25 at the bottom. I don't know, but those were her ideas. The paint would be oh so fun, but notice, Bro. Andrew hasn't commented on this for a while, but maybe we can get him to change his mind
-Kat
o man yall by what im reading, we are going to have a crazy youth room.....but thats ok we're crazy....im still hopin we can have some type of paint activity in the office, i love that idea as well as many others!!!!! so bro Andrew dont let us get our hopes up and then squish them like a little bug with your ginormous foot....lol please consider the paint, in return we will all lave you more.....maybe......jk your awesome
i have a blog now guys, come visit me......i wanna know what you think
Even though I'm not there, ya'll please don't do the throwing paint at the wall. But definetley do it lighter. The gray is cool but its too dark. I like the 7.25 sign so that has to stay. Try a Starbucks look. Nice modern earth tones and warm lighting. Oh yeah more fans.
Cameron you know good and well that it would be like the coolest thing to have a paint war type thing in the room, you know you'd have fun!!!!!Its good to hear from you TTYL, we miss you bunches
Alright, some cool ideas. I like Kris' idea for the office. I absolutely love bean bags. As for the "paint wars"....ummmmm.....hmmmmm. Not sure if that is going to happen. Bro. Elms might lift an eyebrow at the idea. I would love to get a new couch and some other furniture, but we have to think about how many people come to youth. Two couches ain't going to cut it. The best option is the chairs we use, however we could probably get some specialty furniture. Kitchen ideas are still lacking. Anyway, hopefully after HYC we can begin the process in earnest
