Jason as special guest...

[mtnlaurel]

This story is a fine example of why I respect Jason so much. He has such a giving heart. I really loved this story more than life. As much as I wanted song news today, this made my soul happy.

Shine your light Jason! #goodjobsign-1#

Adorable as per usual. Nice job Jason! Inspires others to do more for their community as well. Thanks for sharing that fun story with us Betsy! Never a dull moment in the Castrohome!

I just LOVED reading about this! Jason is such a caring, giving, and generous person, and I respect him so much for that. I am so proud to call myself his fan.

And, Betsy, thanks so much for sharing the "backstory." How wonderful!

[sierrach]

Beautiful story. He looks sooo happy! It just amazes me how all he has to do is walk in a room and everyone lights up.

What a great story!!!!
Jason looks so happy in the pics posted from this appearance and the kids (and teachers) just look thrilled!
The kids will be excited and talking about this for weeks! LOL!

[realmccoy]

What a sweet, sweet guy! Love his smile when he poses with children.

What a great way for Jason to spend some time. He really knows what's important. Thanks for the backstory, Betsy.

And he looks great in the Twins t-shirt (that was not from me, sad to say).

Okay, so I know y'all love the scoop. So I'm running like a chicken with my head cut off and Jason says, mom, what are you doing around 3? I say, picking Jackie up, he says ok, then around 3:15, I say, whatever you need me to do...he says good! We are going to give guitar lessons to a group of 36 kids and an elementary school! I say WHAAAATTT? How in the world does he come up with this stuff. Well our music ministry leaders mentioned a project a friend of theirs started a few weeks ago to give free guitar lessons (along with motiviational lessons) to the afterschool kids....they thought it'd be cool if Jason would call in and say hi!...he said no way....I'm going!!! Hence, a very crazy busy day turned into one of the funnest days ever...we went from 36 kids to well over 100 little people! All so amazing and loving! Wonderful, respectful staff and we were inspired! They asked some great questions and actually knew his songs! Very, very inspiring!!!

Thanks for the invite y'all!

Aww that is so cute thanks for sharing this story with us

Even in old jeans and t-shirt, hanging out with a bunch of kids he looks gorgeous! #heart_smiley#

That's the Twins T-shirt one of y'all gave him!

I wonder if he's worn the t-shirt I gave him, #thscratch#

[randytho]

[fanforever]

What a sweetie pie. I hope he continues to be able to use his gift of service. What a bunch of lucky kiddos.

I'm pretty sure Castro4 gave Jason that shirt. I remember one of the girls looking all over for a Twins shirt to give him at our stop in Minneapolis. I couldn't find her at thedreadheads so I'm going to keep looking here to find her! I'm sooo excited he's wearing her twins shirt tho!!

Betsy....thank you so much for the behind story. We love Jason and what he is and will do for others. He is precious as you well know, and as a mom of five, I know how proud you are of him, indeed all of your children.

[VanCanDance]

I wish I was 13 yrs younger and in that school ;D

Thanks for posting this! How sweet that he took time out to do that!!

[Loca4Jason]

This just shows that Jason was raised with good values not to mention that he's just a giver #thtxtloves-1# YOU JASON!! #thyourock#

That's what I wrote in one of the books I gave him - Please don't ever change!

What a blessing he is
I am sure that he touched 100 little hearts and a bunch of older hearts that day too!
