The Plunge

When I was a teenager I was into being cool. I tried to have cool clothes, cool friends, and to say cool things. As I have grown I have started to get way behind the cool factor. In fact I now almost try and resist doing what everyone else is doing. It seems that in today's world you are nobody until you have a blog. So that has made me a nobody...until now.

Here are my struggles: First, I am not really a writer (writing my doctoral dissertation was painful, I can read all day long, I just do not want to write it). Second, I am not sure I have all that much to say on any given topic (at least not that anyone would want to read). Third, I am fighting the urge to do what everyone else is doing. That being said I have decided to take the plunge.

So many pastors have blogs, but not nearly as many guys working in Education and Equipping Ministry are blogging. It is my goal to use this site as a springboard to raise the awareness of the importance of a small group ministry in the life of a church and to create a place to share ideas. As I read, study, and discover new ideas that fit this context I will try and post them here. I may also use this forum from time to time to share a thought or two concerning something fascinating that I found while studying the Scripture. I welcome you feedback and input as this develops. Okay, I guess I am cool now. At least until the next big thing hits and I respond a year later.
