Observations from the National Youth Workers Convention, St. Louis
- people who claim to love youth will allow a door to shut on a baby stroller
- social justice is the new “jabez”
- marko and tic make pretty good cheerleaders
- walking through a crowd of cheerleaders to get to our convention reminds me of high school
- St. Louis has very few restaurants near the convention center, meaning that our typical lunch consisted of 2 uncrustables, a bag of chips, a bag of mini oreos, and a coke zero to balance out the extra calories.
- most of the stuff I was handed in the exhibit hall was received under a single pretense: I want to win a nintendo wiu or an iPod.
- there should be a seminar on guitar hero. And I should teach it.
- there is always a better way to reach people, a better curriculum, a better model of ministry, and a better plan for it, but that just isn’t how god wants to use me. He’s happy with me just like I am.
