Spotlight: Arthur Kelly
King Arthur, a junior at Oceana High School, moved to the Bay from Compton in 2002. Arthur likes hip-hop, photography, and he's a big sports fan. His teams are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Denver Nuggets. Michael Vick and Alan Iverson are his favorite athletes. After high school, Arthur wants to study broadcasting at Cal State Fullerton, then become an NFL sideline reporter.
For the past year Arthur has been seeking a relationship with God. Most mornings he reads the bible and prays before school, and 2-3 times a week he studies the bible with friends at the Bay Area Christian Church. Arthur would like to be baptized sometime soon.

Congo 'Y' Service
On Saturday, February 17th, the Bay Area Christian Church will hold the first ever congregational 'Y' Ministry service. Teens from all over the Bay Area as well as Stockton and Monterrey will meet at Canada College in Redwood City. The theme of the service is "Who Will You Become?," with a focus on helping teens take control of their destinies. Former San Francisco 49ers linebacker Sam Manuel will be the keynote speaker. Sam has worked full-time in the ministry for the past six years after becoming a Christian in 1997. The service is not limited to church members, however. Anyone involved with teens--parents, coaches, mentors, tutors--is welcome. Service begins at 5:00 p.m. at Canada College. We look forward to seeing you there!
My 3 Blogs
randomshapes.com is a useful site because it features more than sixty blogs done by teenagers. There's a variety of opinions and viewpoints on many different aspects of life (politics, family, dating, etc.). I appreciate the positive tone of the site. By "positive" I specifically mean no pornography. The majority of teen blogs I came across were loaded sexual stuff. Randomshapes proves there are quality teen bloggers out there.
This is the blog of a young man named Daniel, an eigth grader on the east coast. I think his writing is deep for a boy his age. He could use bolder colors and graphics to make his blog more attractive, but I like his writing.
teenhollywood.com looks like a fun site for teens into movies and movie stars. Teenhollywood also features music and t.v.. I prefer horizontal displays so I would change the teenhollywood layout. I'd also lose the sky blue background.
