Youth Pastor Joe

So at work some of the guys, notably Jukebox JT, have started referring to me as “Youth Pastor Joe”—presumably it’s about my being generally non-confrontational, even-tempered, and diplomatic. They mentioned I should have a public-access TV show and issue helpful messages to the kids today. It’s pretty funny stuff, actually.

Youth Pastor Joe has a nice ring, no? I don’t mind being poked fun of, really. Not if it’s for being a congenial guy.

I think it’s very appropriate—not just for your congeniality, but also your warmth and caring.

Doug is “Safety Council Doug” because he’s always cautioning me not to run out into the street :-)

I like “Safety Council Doug” – - he can be my Mr. Green Jeans!
