Saw this on youthministry.com. I made a few changes but you'll get the idea...
You might be a Jr High Youth worker if...
...you've thought about growing your hair and shaving your goatee but just can't. Personally, I also insist on wearing baggy shorts, Vans shoes, and surf shirts. Look, if I wanted to wear Dockers and a button-down, I'd work for Microsoft...or be a high school pastor.
...you've rented The Princess Bride to show at a lock-in
"This movie's a great reminder that we don't have to be edgy or controversial to have fun. If we aren't waving the banner of good, clean fun for our students, who is?"
...you've had high school students return to say thanks. They hardly ever say it when they're in junior high, but they will eventually.
...you used to play Chubby Bunny. Did a student really choke to death playing this game? I'm not sure, but I'm done playing. Additionally, I've sold all my marshmallow stock due to plummeting sales.
...you've given away a WWJD bracelet as a prize. It was probably a few years ago, and you've likely tried to block it from your memory. Remember...the road to recovery begins with recognition.
...you've used a VeggieTales clip as a teaching tool.
...you've considered creating your own blog.(Oh wait, I am posting this on my blog)
...you've spent hard-earned vacation time in a cabin full of 7th-graders. You didn't sleep much and went back to work in worse shape than when you left, but lives were changed and you'd do it again next week if you were asked.
...you've thought about quitting-today! I'm not sure if a day goes by that I don't think about transitioning to an easier ministry area. I'm not sure if a day goes by that God doesn't remind me of the importance of my calling.
