I just caught Thursday night’s AI show and saw that Jason Yeager left this week. Jason was in my first youth group back when I started out. He was in middle school at the time. I remember one time having him do a skit in a church service set to Michael W. Smith’s "Give it Away" where he was supposed to be a homeless guy. He came in from the back of the worship center and staggered as if he was drunk from one pew on one side of the aisle to the next on the other side. It was meant to make a point about loving people in need, but all I can remember is how much I was thinking, "I am SO FIRED!" Needless to say, I did get called on the carpet for that one. But it was well worth it for the memory. 🙂
I think Jason has a lot more potential than those judges were giving him credit for. Not sure where their heads or their ears were. So, I’m sorry to see him go. It’s also cool that he’s giving a lot of credit to his relationship with Christ. I love it when believers are salt and light!
