This is a sketch about five youth and their leader taking a hike in the woods. A narrator does a lot of the talking to set up the story and characters and these are real characters! Not your normal run-of-the-mill youth group. They have unusual names and even crazier personalities. Among all the craziness, one of the students begins to talk about the cross she wears around her neck and the gospel message is shared. A lot of humor and silliness throughout.

When an old friend comes by, he tells her about all the big events and close calls he has had recently, and still does not give credit to the Lord for his blessings. The friend shares how she and her husband are trusting God for providing their needs, and he still seems clueless to his unthankful spirit. A man comes by who convinces Daryl that he is a "messenger of God" and he has been protecting Daryl for years. He gets him to realize how he has neglected to give thanks for all that God has been doing in his life. He has a change and ends up giving to the friend who really has a need, because he is thankful for what he has been given.
