		<description>Chelsea,
I think it&#039;s awesome that you read youth pastor&#039;s blogs. That shows how much you care for your own youth group and are willing to step up and do what you can to help. I had 5 different youth directors when I was in youth group from 6th-12th grade. Sadly it&#039;s hard to find someone to step in and stay the youth pastor at a church for a while, and those that will stay for the long haul are already plugged in and staying at a different church. 
I&#039;m glad that you feel like you have a youth pastor at times by reading mine and Tim&#039;s blogs. That is really touching to read!</description>

		<description>I feel like I get weird looks from people when I say that I really enjoy reading youth pastor blogs. Being a teen in youth group, I can sorta understand why they might think I&#039;m weird and don&#039;t really get why I like reading them. It&#039;s hard to explain I always say.

I found Tim&#039;s blog off of my old youth pastor&#039;s blog. Since my old youth pastors have moved, we haven&#039;t gotten another really youth pastor. Well, we have a youth leader in training, but the problem we have with him is that all the older kids like me grew up with him, so we have a hard time respecting him.

I guess the reason I read youth pastor&#039;s blogs like Tim&#039;s is to get good ideas for youth group. I know there have been a few times when I found some interesting games to try with my youth group on Tim&#039;s blog. 

It&#039;s kinda hard growing up through youth group without a solid youth pastor. My church has gone through so many while I&#039;ve been there and usually they&#039;re all interns, so they don&#039;t stay for long usually. My church is only about 13 years old, so we&#039;re still rather small and we just paid off our short term debt back in August, so we won&#039;t have a youth pastor who stays for a while. 

Reading your blog and Tim&#039;s blog, I feel like I have youth pastors sometimes. I really just enjoy reading these blogs. Thank you so much.</description>
