In the April 24 issue, as the school year winds down, youth face projects, exams, and end-of-year concerts and ceremonies. Many are busy with spring sports or preparing for summer camps and trips. How do youth handle all this busyness on top of the stress that just comes naturally with being an adolescent? Key Scriptures: Daniel 3:8-28; Psalm 31:1-16; 46:10a; Isaiah 40:31a; Matthew 6:31, 33; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 10:38-42; Philippians 4:4-7; 11-13. In the May 1 issue, LinC observes that fans, critics, and pop culture observers around the world were gabbing about Britney Spears’ pregnancy long before the singer made her public announcement. While celebrities must contend with the national rumor mill, many youth must deal with the gossip that passes through their schools and churches every day.
