I do a little of everything on this blog. Whatever you might find on here – don't view anything I write as the final word. This is an open letter for everyone to respond. I am in error on many things. I am sure you are as well. Maybe we could get together and learn something.

A Marko Quote (from a Veteran Youth Worker)
“Let’s be honest: working with teenagers, no matter how much you love them and are called to this ministry, is cause for fear. They’re a messy lot. The work is never done. The needs are never fully met. The demands and expectations of youth ministry pull in every direction, often in opposition with one another. If you live into this calling, sooner or later, you’ll get hurt; you’ll get ignored; you’ll be misunderstood; you’ll be blamed; you’ll be misrepresented; and you’ll screw up. But, be not afraid.”
