Lamh Foistenach Abu! 
Over the past several years, I’ve been privileged to travel with teenagers on eight mission trips. One thing I’ve learned in those excursions is that teens are not too young to make an impact for Jesus—either on me or on others whose lives they touch.
I’ve also noticed that the teens who make the biggest impact for Christ match the characteristics Paul told Timothy about in 1 Timothy 4:12. Trying to convince Timothy that his relative youth did not have to be a deterrent to his ministry, Paul told him to “be an example to the believers” in several areas.
In word: Young people who make a difference for Christ control what they say, avoid negative talk, and speak words that honor God. In conduct: Teens who practice discretion in their behavior shine for all the world to see. In love: By taking heed of Jesus’ words to love God and their neighbor (Matt. 22:37-39) teens please Jesus and touch hearts. In faith: Those who put their faith into action change lives. In purity: It’s tough to be morally pure and doctrinally sound, but kids who are can set the bar for the rest of us.
Paul’s words aren’t just for the young generation. All of us should be an example in word, conduct, love, faith, and purity. That’s how we make an impact for Christ.
Read: 1 Timothy 4:10-16

Song Title: "Back in the U.S.A."
Written and originally performed by Chuck Berry
Released as a 45 RPM single in 1959, the song reached #16 on the Billboard 100 Hot Singles Chart"Back In The U.S.A." is a celebration of life in the U.S.A and Chuck sings out: "I'm So Glad I'm Living In The U.S.A.!"
The lyrics were reportedly inspired by Chuck's trip to Australia where he witnessed the living conditions of Australian Aborigines.It has been recorded by many artists, most notably Linda Rondstat in 1978, reaching #16 on the Billboard 100 Hot Singles Chart once again.
Chuck Berry and Linda Ronstadt teamed up to sing the song together on Chuck's 60th birthday in 1986. The performance at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, Missouri was filmed and released in the documentary "Chuck Berry Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll (1987)". For this performance Chuck's backup band includes well known musicians Keith Richards, Robert Cray, Joey Spampinato, Eric Clapton, and long-time Berry pianist Johnnie Johnson.

Lyrics:
Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We just touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from overseas to the U.S.A.New York, Los Angeles, oh, how I yearned for you
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
Let alone just to be at my home back in ol' St. Lou-ie.Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of the Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did, till I got back in the U.S.A.Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open griddle night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the U.S.A.Well I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Yes, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got it right here in the U.S.A.I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Yes, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the U.S.A.
Anything you want, we got it right here in the U.S.A.
