One of the guys was always fiddling with something, seemingly never listening. His mother told me later that, that night, he had come home and told her about this neat thing he learned in youth group about JOY. I was blown away.

I have been in youth ministry for 33 years now. I am still learning everyday. There have been many changes to keep up with over the years, but one thing I’ve learned is to be careful what I say and do because you never know what someone else will remember, long after you’ve forgotten it.
