Confessions of an Average Youth Minister

Brittany is Everywhere

I have made a decision not to watch any coverage of Brittany Spears. I feel terrible about the horde of people and cameras that seem to surround her any time she steps outside. Here is a young woman who is going through some hard times (after a lifetime of growing up in the public eye) and the last thing she needs are a bunch of people hounding her. So I decided that it was hypocritical to say that I think those cameras are terrible and then watch what they capture.

But do you know how hard it is to not watch it. I find myself turning the channel more often than my grandmother trying to avoid cuss words. The girl is everywhere.

But while we are on the subject…

I think that we should leave all celebrities alone. Just because someone chooses to be a TV actor doesn’t give us the right to publish pictures of them at the beach. Just because someone wants to be in a movie, or if someone just wants to be famous that doesn’t mean that they forfeit the right to be famous on their own terms. I mean do we honestly need to know about Brangelina?

That is my rant for the day. You may now go back to your lives.

I don't have all of the answers and some weeks it feels like I don't have any of the answers. I often find a good word picture or object lesson and build the lesson off of that instead of the other way around. I don't always pray as much as I should and I never study as much as I should. But I love students ministry. I love watching teenagers as they serve God. I love to see them worship and forget about themselves for a while. I love seeing someone wake up to the love of God if only for a little while. I love to see them out serving their community and sharing the love of Christ with others. I love to be a part of their lives and I love seeing the world through their eyes. I am an average youth minister.
