I don't have all of the answers and some weeks it feels like I don't have any of the answers. I forget students names sometimes and say stupid things that hurt their feelings. I often find a good word picture or object lesson and build the lesson off of that instead of the other way around. I have put the finishing touches on a Wednesday night Bible study on Wednesday more times than I can count. I don't always pray as much as I should and I never study as much as I should. I try every new youth ministry model that comes from the "experts" and I have had at least 3 mission statements over the past 5 years.
But I love students ministry. I love watching teenagers as they serve God. I love to see them worship and forget about themselves for a while. I love seeing someone wake up to the love of God if only for a little while. I love to see them out serving their community and sharing the love of Christ with others. I love to be a part of their lives and I love seeing the world through their eyes. Like I said, I'm an average youth pastor.
For almost 20 years now I have been trying to add creative ideas for use in the local church. In the early days Nailscars.com was just a place to publish some scripts, but it has become a collection of creative ministry resources for youth ministry and worship.
I began writing a blog more to process my own thoughts more than anything else. As I started writing the comments that I got back from people amazed me. As I was honest with my struggles most of them would write and say “Thank you.” “It is just nice to know someone else struggles with these same things,” was a common response.
So this has become a place where I share the struggles and successes of being in youth ministry. I hope that you find something that God can use in your life and ministry.
Thank you for coming to check out Nailscars.com. Everything here is free to use in any non-commercial way. Feel free to use the resources without giving me credit. If you are want to republish an idea let me know and I will probably give you permission.
Dear Shawn,
You are a hard guy to get hold of! Except for the comment spaces, there is no way to get in touch with you. So what I am contacting you about actually has nothing to do with your recent post about Sponge Bob.
I paid for your Come Alive Bible study (in fact, I may have paid for it twice; if so, keep the change!) Now I can’t download it. When I go to the webpage, the download button just saves the webpage itself, not the zip file for the Bible studies. (This happened when I tried on 2 different browsers).
So I tried to contact your download host, Sellfy, but when their contact window comes up, the bottom is cut off so I can never send the message! (Paging down doesn’t help — it makes the page behind the window page down, but doesn’t affect the window).
Here is the message I am trying to send. Maybe you can communicate with them:
SUBJECT: Can’t download file
This is the webpage in question:
file:///C:/Users/Jennifer%20A.%20Bowers/Downloads/Documents/glhQVBHUFFTzNS2xdDBnHUKYTXnLGfCi.html
When I hit the download button on Google Chrome, I get this error message:
Your file was not found It may have been moved or deleted.
ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
I tried to right click and hit “Save as” in which case it wants to save the webpage as an html file, instead of the zip file I’m trying to get.
I switched to Opera browser and had all the same problems.
Hope you can resolve this!
Jennifer

PS When I couldn’t find a way to contact you, I searched to see if you are on Twitter. I found a really vile person using the handle @Nailscars. Glad it wasn’t you.
