In need of a Resurrection
Have you ever noticed that you can always spot the young youth pastors before you can the older ones? You can see it especially when it comes to those athletic events such as basketball or ultimate Frisbee. The young ones are right in the middle of the action while the oldies are on the sidelines overseeing the action.
Today, I understand completely. As I took baby steps down the hall this morning my back was so sore I could hardly lift and place one foot in front of the other. You see, though I am no longer a youth pastor I still seize every opportunity to minister to young people.
Three weeks ago I installed a new basketball goal in my driveway. It instantly became the gathering place for teenagers in my neighborhood and of course I wanted to be a good host. Needless to say, I now know why you see those oldies sitting on the sidelines. They are just waiting for their resurrection and their new heavenly bodies.
