Board meeting. They want us to host kids ministry conference. I'm sitting there like what?

Our ministry barely functions on good days and you want me to invite people watch this mess? Plus feed everyone coordinate speakers without giving anyone food poisoning?

Pastor does puppy dog eyes. Course he does. Goodbye sleep.

Learned more about conference planning than ever wanted to know. Like bathroom capacity calculations. Who thinks about that stuff until you have hundred people and two toilets?

Tonight we're talking about how to not die during conference planning. Why coffee matters more than food including breathing. How Dr. Whatever with fancy degrees put everyone in comas while Sarah our volunteer gave life-changing advice.

Also technology always breaks at worst moment. People riot when you run out coffee. And simple beats elaborate disasters every time.

You'll probably learn things about event planning you didn't want to know. Like bathroom math is real thing.

For anyone whose board volunteers them for impossible tasks, people who've survived conference nightmares, and leaders wondering how to feed humans without killing them.
