Dear Mr. Youth Man

Excuse me Mr. Youth Man, but I have a few questions for you. I hope I don't come off to concerned and yet I can't help but ask myself why can't I? Is it not my God given right as a parent to be concerned for the one that I will be held accountable to God for raising him in the instruction and righteousness of the One who gave me him. Okay, maybe that was a bit much. How bout it came with the job.
Please know that when I ask you if you have a blog, what I'm really saying is I'd like to get to know the one that my child will look up to better.
And when I ask you what the name of the youth group is and if they have there own website, what I am really asking is if they have there own identity as a group? You know a place to belong and become who God created them to be.
When I ask you how should I refer to you as, the youth pastor or youth leader, what I am really asking is what are your intentions as someone who is in a position to impact the next generation for greater or worse? Depending on your answer, it will tell me how involved you are in the lives of the youth and therefor let me know how serious you are about your God given position.
The next question follows that. When I ask you what the vision is for the group, please know that what I'm really asking is what are your goals for the youth? I know my goal for my child(Most mom's pretty much have the same one) but I gotta wonder are yours the same?
And when I ask you who holds you accountable, what I am really saying is who is training you as you train the youth?
And when I ask you how long you've been a christian what I am really asking is what is your relationship with God like?
Well, I think that's all the questions I have for now. I don't mean to put you on the spot and yet I do. As one who will have a huge impact on my child it's imperative in this case that you meet certain standards cuz as I said before you impact them for better or for worse. Thanks for listening.
