Purpose

In my challenge to oversee the areas of middle school, high school, and college-aged ministries. I discover a lot about who I am. I am a people person. But I need to get things done--many tasks get undone. I need to meet new people; to put myself out there. But I'm an introvert by nature. I re-energize by spending time alone not spending time with people. I need to communicate with lots of people. But I only have so many hours in the day. Yet this problem to communicate with people can be solved with a blog. That's why I've begun this blog. It's sort of a way to connect with people when face-to-face is not a convenient option for me or for others. I want to converse with others as best as I can. So here is my attempt to start communicating in a differnt way. I find it so hard to try to talk to people on Sundays. I am responsible for both hours of each service. When there are between service activities or events, I often miss them or I am late. I need a way to communicate with others beyond weekend service times. I've battled with email and still get spammed. But I am exploring new ways to filter unwanted messages while accepting needed messages. I guess it's everyone's challenge, but I am choosing to begin communicating in a blog. It's the best way I can get information out and get information in.
