Off the grid

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

Ready to get going again? I am! You’re probably wondering where that heck I’ve been over this last month. Well… none of your business. :) Ok, actually, we’ve just been taking some serious time off. No blogging, no writing, no church work. We’ve been resting and preparing emotionally and spiritually for our next ministry.

I’m back on though and ready to go. Once I figure out a few “issues” with my site… we’ll hit the ground running again. Hang in there for just a couple more days and we’ll be back in the swing of things 1st of next week.

Lesson Learned

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

As I enter these final few days of my ministry here in Indy, I can’t help but to sit back and think about all that I’ve learned over the past five years. If you know me at all, you know that I’m always trying to learn and grow. This is an easy “pick-me-up” for a guy who makes a lot of mistakes. So today I thought I’d list my top 5 lessons that I’ve learned in ministry over the last five years. Many of these I knew… but now I believe them.

#5 You can expect a lot more from your leaders than you might first think

#4 Students can be your #1 resource in Children’s Ministry

#3 Delegation and surrounding yourself with people who are smarter that you go hand in hand.

#2 Spiritual health and family time are closely connected.

#1 PEOPE ARE THE WAY THEY ARE FOR A REASON!
