Mom had looked it over and assured me it was no big deal. Now, flash forward to opening night of the new big screen version of Twilight and I can tell you from being there, the words “Big Deal” are a HUGE understatement. At our nearest theater, young girls (and their moms) were in line two hours in advance of the theater doors opening and, on a national level, Fandango reported that they had been selling 5 Twilight tickets per second as of early Friday morning, “making Twilight online ticket-seller Fandango's fastest-selling film since The Dark Knight last July.”  Yes, it’s a very big deal and the young ladies in your youth group will definitely be seeing this one. ]]> no@spam.com (Smitty Wheeler) Tue, 25 Nov 2008 11:18:59 PST http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/177/1/Movie-Review-Twilight/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/176/1/The-Paradox-of-Phariseeism/Page1.html no@spam.com (David R.

I’m a youth pastor, and I’m unbalanced.

In ministry, unbalanced lives tend to be the norm more than the exception. It seems that ministry has a way of subtly drawing us into a life that, in the end, is more hurtful to us and to others than many of us would like to admit.  ]]> no@spam.com (Dale Tadlock) Mon, 13 Oct 2008 08:03:42 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/171/1/Stretched-Beyond-Usefulness/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/170/1/Whatas-So-Great-about-a-Balanced-Life/Page1.html
Don’t get me wrong. Balance is something that we, in our 21st-century American culture, emphasize a lot. Yet I can’t help but wonder if we overemphasize the importance of balance in our lives.  ]]> no@spam.com (Jennifer Bradbury) Mon, 13 Oct 2008 07:50:02 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/170/1/Whatas-So-Great-about-a-Balanced-Life/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/70/1/Avoiding-Burnout/Page1.html no@spam.com (Becky Jackson) Mon, 13 Oct 2008 07:27:38 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/70/1/Avoiding-Burnout/Page1.html http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/169/1/A-Little-Eavesdropping/Page1.html no@spam.com (Titus Benton) Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:40:44 PDT http://www.thejournalofstudentministries.com/articles/169/1/A-Little-Eavesdropping/Page1.html
