This is another youth ministry blog. Some times it's serious, sometimes it's funny, sometimes I am just giving out free resources for hard working youth ministry people like you. It's all about encouragement and equiping. So take a look, and share it with a friend.

Youth Pastor Confessions
In pattern of being honest in the last few postings, I thought I would continue but turn the attention to the minister rather than the students...
Sometimes I triple check to see if there is anything new on Facebook, Twitter, or my email before I start a task that I know I need to get done. Sometimes I wait to look over a new resource until I need to go to the bathroom, and take it with me as reading material. Sometimes I stay in there so long flipping through stuff my legs fall asleep. Maybe I should stop wasting so much time online.
Sometimes I get annoyed with elderly people visiting the office because they will stop me to chat right when I'm in the middle of a project. Sometimes I will be strategic about when I go make copies because I know the secretary will ask me to help her with a computer related issue. Sometimes I realize that I am a complete stranger to some people and I wonder what they think because I'm never around. Maybe I should be more intentional about being part of the office.
Sometimes I ignore text messages from needy kids that I know but aren't in our youth group.
Sometimes I don't spend time checking up on kids who have missed a few weeks because they aren't "core" students. Sometimes I remember that Jesus has a really big flock, and he cares even about the one. Maybe I should stop acting like an elitist.
What is your confession?
