WNDITWB, an example


One of the clearest examples for me of High Schoolers not wanting things changed was a regular youth trip one of my churches took. They had a tradition of staying at a place that I was appalled at: the people were hostile to our group; they were uncooperative; promised meals and then didn't actually have them so we had to go out for each breakfast and supper and make our own lunch bags; there was no meeting room; no place to hang out together; and no recreation facilities at all – we even got in trouble for breaking out a Frisbee! After a couple of years of this I searched out and found a church campgrounds that would accommodate us. It had: two good meals each day and made our sack lunches; a large meeting room; a swimming pool and a variety of other recreational facilities and no hassle. And it saved us thousands of dollars. When we got there all I got was gripes and complaints and nostalgia for the other place!!!! Well, we survived. No complaints the next time.
