Wow! That introvert book is something I would like to read. That has been me! I always feel out of place in the church. I am a behind-the-scenes girl, but that is not as welcomed as the public go-getter. And my son is the same way. He does NOT want to do any youth activities where there is a lot going on. I was the same way when I was his age. He runs the computer on Sunday morning for our pastor. He likes that because he is isolated and still serving. But, I know he feels like something is wrong with him because he doesn't want to sit in front and play the guitar during worship. Interesting topic!
