There are many hazards to a youth pastor's health. One they don't tell you about in seminary is girl scouts and their treacherously delicious cookies. This is how it generally goes down. It is a typical Wednesday night service, and next thing you know you are surrounded by two or three girl scouts. You cannot buy cookies from just one scout, so you commit to buying from all three. And of course they look at you with those puppy dog eyes and you cannot resist but to buy 10 boxes from each scout. Next thing you know, you've spent $120 on cookies that will do nothing more than induce laziness and pollute your arteries. You vow next year to not fall for their siren's song, but every year, you are helpless to resist.
I know at our church we use the tagline "All are welcome," but I'm seriously considering an amendment that bans those foul temptresses and their maliciously sweet cookies.
