Inspired by Frontline Youth Group at Sierra Vista Community Church, this blog is dedicated to the lighter side of church and youth group. There might be occasional moments of seriousness, but don't bank on it. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing.

A Modest Apology
As a youth pastor, I primarily spend time with the youth of our church (how shocking!). But on occasion, I venture into dangerous territory and I speak with adults. I like chatting with the adults, but sometimes I wonder if they like speaking with me. Here is an example of a conversation:
Adult: How was your week?
Me: It was great, but just super tiring.
Adult: Oh, is that so? What all came up?
Me: Well I took a few students out to lunch on Tuesday, then on Wednesday we had youth group and then the all-nighter, so I was up all night playing games and hanging out with students. Then on Friday we got together again and played more video games and board games and ate pizza. How was your week?
Adult: (At this point, they begin to wander off, mumbling under their breath. This is all that I can make out) "Lousy mermafu wake up 4:45 a.m., ferggan reduclou garou bills grarun aret traffic un del wih spid boss un leam staft meetings...."
Me: Have a nice day!
So, I apologize to all the "real adults" out there in the world. I apologize for talking to you as if I were your equal. Now, excuse me, I have to go play mini-golf with a few students.
