In a couple years, I'll be celebrating my 20th year in youth ministry. Here's a few things I found amusing...
10 ways to find out if you're a youth pastor
10) Do you have the pizza companies fast dialed into your phone?
9) You've graduated and have 1000 friends on Facebook and 950 of them are in high school.
8) You could entertain a room full of people with 4 paper clips, an eraser, some Q-tips and 2 minutes to prepare.
7) You text message faster than the average 13 year old girl.
6) Your teens call you too old and every adult calls you too young.
5) If your best memories are in an old church van.
4) Your trunk is filled with different kinds of sports equipment "just in case"
3) Your office is where everyone stores their stuff.
2) You watch Austin Powers for sermon ideas.
1) You're single and just bought a minivan.

Blogging 101
"So what's a blog?!" you might be asking... good question! Basically, a blog is like an online diary. No, you won't find out all the juicy stuff that goes into our secret diaries; you won't see us blogging about our love lives (or lack thereof).
Rather, we hope this blog will be a place where we can be transparent, a place where we can be honest, and a place where we can share some of the extraordinary things that take place everyday within the community of St Andrew's.
Sometimes we'll blog about a great church event or activity that's taking place. Other times, we might blog about something that's happening in our society and how it's affecting us. Or perhaps at other times, we might just simply blog about things that brought us joy or troubled us in our daily lives. Yes, despite contrary belief, church workers are real people too and we experience the ups and downs of life just like everyone else does. We hope that this blog will provide some insight into where life takes us outside of the context of 'church' on Sunday mornings.
We encourage you to bookmark this link and check back often. Although there isn't a blog schedule on when we'll be posting, we'll blog just as things come to mind or take place. More importantly, you have the option to respond back on each post on the blog. We'd be thrilled if you'd join in on the discussion with us... let's journey this road together!
