The beginging

Hello everyone. So here is my first venture into blogging. This actually started out as an assignment for school but, after asking myself and my wife (got to give her some credit here) what I should blog about the most natural thing was youth ministry stuff. Now, I've been following some pretty awesome youth minstry blogs that have been a huge help for me, mostly because I've come to realize that I'm no where near as bad a youth pastor as I thought I was...haha. But what I'll be attempting to do here is blog about what happens between events, the everyday stuff that nobody tells you you're going to deal with when you get involved in youth ministry. Not that it's all bad or that this will be my soap box to complain because you see what happens between services is really what youth ministry is about. The 2am calls from students or parents and last minute audibles I have to call when one my kids throws up on me on the way to service - life changing stuff like that. After nearly 15 years in youth ministry I might be a little late to the party but, I've got some great stuff to share.
