About a month ago my parents and a few family members came down to spend a few days with us at our home. It was a ton of fun, we stayed up late every night talking and playing cards, we loved it. My Uncle makes killer egg rolls, so one night we decided to have him make them for dinner. There was only 10 of us total and Uncle Jim made 75 egg rolls, a monster bowl of fried rice, and a huge pot of egg drop soup.
We ate and ate and ate and ate some more. It was all good, but it was a little to much. By the time it was over I had had my fill of egg rolls to such the extent that even the sight of chinese food or egg rolls, make me a little queasy. I have no interest in having them....at all.
Sometimes we can have to much of a good thing. This is true not only with food but also in youth ministry. Think about it for a minutes, your worship might be good but do you really need to sing the same song 8 times in a row. Your message might be really good but do you really need dive into all 15 points of faith in the same night. Dodgeball may be a lot of fun and a really good game for the students, but do you have to play it every single week? I don't think so.
Pace yourself. Leave them wanting more and who knows they just might come back next week.
