My name is stacey, I am 22 years old, i live in a town in flrodia that is what you could say a "older person" sorta town. But hidden in this town are the youth the future leaders of tomorrow.
I work at a church here in this old person town and work with these future leaders of tomorrow, who have all at many times lead me futher than i could lead myself. The young teaching the old i guess you could say.
On Friday 7-7-2006 a boy who was in our youth group who was a very strong leader of tomorrow was taken from this earth at a time no one could understand. He was young only 18, he was vibrant full of life, full of dreams and abitions. I met this such boy at Drama Team practice over a year and a half ago ( i am getting somewhere with this just bear with me) he was a servant at heart with the best intentions. He joked, played, teased, and was the only boy to stick with the Drama Team, and the Drama Team stuck with him.
His name was Joffery.
He was diffrent, he was a child of God. In his 18 years he impacted more lives than i have in my 22 years.
So why did i create this livejournal, i have a Myspace why have a LJ too?
Well it's easy.
Joffery put down his thoughts via myspace almost every single day.
I'm not trying to be a copy cat of joff and i am not trying to be morbid.
But when it's my time to go home, i want something for someone to hold onto.
So i will try to remeber to keep up with this thing.
It's now important to me.
....
Joffery David Orr. You have made a impact on my life.
Like an Elephant, I will never forget.
