He was a few years younger than us and we'd been there, we knew how he felt. He was a tall, blond, blue-eyed football player and girls liked to hang around him, even asking him out, which made him nervous and confused. Like most of us, he felt awkward about the new feelings he was having, and was more afraid of women than interested in them. It was around this point that my best friend's brother, who was also at the bible study, began to have problems with girls in school. "Am I the only one who actually listens to the pastor?" I asked, confused-they didn't have an answer for me. I interrupted and asked if they remembered last week, when the Pastor had pointed out that nowhere in the Bible does the devil tempt anyone, let alone control their thoughts, except in the story of Job, where Lucifer had to ask God's permission first, and God did the lion's share of the tormenting.
I remember one instance where they were talking about the devil being in their heads, butting doubts and thoughts in there, making them think things they didn't want to think. I remember going with him and his brother to Bible study a few times, where I was always shocked to find that I knew more about the Bible than the kids who were there, who could quote a hundred verses off the top of their heads, which was especially surprising to me, because I really didn't know much about the Bible.
We'd sit and listen to the pastor and sing some songs, and often, we'd go back to his house and talk about what we'd heard.
