Container messages

I'll admit... They are convenient. They are a useful size, portable and relatively sturdy. They are downright handy.

Of what do I write? Empty beer cartons.

An empty case of beer can be downright handy to transport and store things.

On numerous occasions I've seen them being used to store and transport things in churches. And whenever I do it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Especially when it happens in a youth ministry setting.

Perhaps it hasn't occurred to the person, or maybe the head honcho is oblivious to what is going on, but the subtle message that must be sent to teens is surely less than helpful.
