Top 10 Indicators You May Have Been in KidMin Too Long

By Jeffrey Reed

Jeffrey-150x150

10) A hot-glue gun falls out of your purse (or man-bag) at the check-out line of the supermarket.
9) You remind your best friend to “please raise your hand” when they ask you a question.
8) You think an adequate snack for your own children is 5 goldfish (your grown children).
7) You always have a one-gallon container of hand-sanitizer within arms reach.
6) When you need to go to the bathroom, you feel compelled to raise your hand and let another adult know.
5) You have at least one of the following DVDs in your office: Frozen, Prince of Egypt, or Veggie tales. If any of these are on VHS, you’ve been in kidmin waaaaayy too long.
4) You want to figure out the “scope and sequence” of Sesame Street.
3) You remember when PG meant “Parental Guidance is Suggested,” not “It’s okay to drop your kids off at the theater because ‘kids-in-mind’ gave it a 3.5.4 and said there is only mild language and crude humor and we pretty much live with that every day anyway, so…”
2) You’ve set up your own home in “stations” and limit your family members to 10 minutes in each.
1) You currently lead a kid whose parents YOU led to Christ when they were kids. Okay, that means you’re just hitting your stride! Stick with it. You’re awesome. There is no “too” long to serve in kidmin!
