This past Saturday we went to Lafayette to hang out with my sister-in-law and her boyfriend at Purdue. We decided to eat lunch at the Triple XXX Diner. The Triple XXX (named after an old root beer factory) says that “our name may be Triple XXX, but our food is rated G”. The root beer got it’s name after someone said it was extra, extra, extra good.

I was impressed to discover that the Triple XXX Diner was be featured on the Food Network series “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” with Guy Fieri just last month.

The food was superb. I picked the Duane Purvis All-American (the recommendation of the waitress). What a good pick. It was 1/4 lb. of 100% ground sirloin (ground right there in the kitchen) served on a toasted sesame bun that had thick creamy peanut butter on the lower deck. A hamburger with peanut butter? That’s what I thought. But I would get it again.

The point of this post is this. In a world of change, and yes we must embrace change, some things don’t need to change. The Triple XXX has been doing it right since 1929.

What should never change in your children’s ministry? Give it some thought. Maybe you can think about it as your drive to Purdue for a hamburger.
