Sorry for the delay in posting today. I know many of you have anxiously waited by your computers wondering when I was going to post. (That’s a joke and what does it say that I feel the need to explain it’s a joke?) The reason for the delay is we hefted and hoisted our humongous beams up into the attic this morning. We still have to set posts and anchor / attach beams to rafters by the humongous beams are up in the attic. I’ll post a picture later of the beams. So now, without further delay, the top 10.
10. Lock In’s.
9. Questions such as "oh, youth ministry huh - when do you think you might get your own church?"
8. The salary and benefits package (or should I say lack of). (Why do we pay youth ministers and babysitters who we entrust to care for our children the least amount of money possible?)
7. The bus air conditioner that quit working as soon as you traveled 25 miles beyond the church building.
6. The summer schedule.
5. Lock In’s.
4. Hormone Management.
3. Youth Rally speakers and programs designed to scare the hell out of kids so they’d get baptized. (And I’m using the word hell in it’s biblical context here)
2. The parents who viewed Youth Ministry as a daycare service instead of partnership to raise spiritually mature young men and women.
1. Lock In’s.
