Steve,
I remember a lock-in in my very, very early days of youth ministry. We were playing a chug-a-lug game with kids trying to drink soda from 3 liter bottles to which we had attached plastic tubes (I saw this in some Youth Specialities book, I think.). Most of the kids realized it was not possible to really drink that much soda and so it was just pouring out of their mouths and down their clothes. But one boy, a visitor, in fact, was really trying to drink it all. Well, after he’d consumed about 1 1/2 liters of carbonated water, he promptly threw up his latest meal right in front of everyone! Needless to say, I later learned that this was really just a tame version of a college drinking game (I was a little naive back then!) Surprisingly, the boy came back for another visit!

What was funny about our one of our lock-ins was that no cell phones were allowed. Late at night, while watching a movie in the sanctuary, I observed a teen secretly texting someone else. I discreetly went up to her and took her phone. I then went to the history of who she’d been texting and I started calling those teens from her phone. Phones were vibrating everywhere!!! It was so funny!! I collected 17 phones!!!
