I’ve decided to start some writing. I’ve had lots of encouragement to do so over the years and I simply haven’t disciplined myself to do so. I sporadically maintained a blog a few years ago but got to a point in life where I didn’t feel I had much to say…that’s a shame because the longer I’m in ministry, the more I realize how much we all have to say.
My problem at that time was that I wasn’t watching for the things that I could share that might be an encouragement to others around me; I was too busy trying to keep my own head above water.
I’ve watched as several friends have recently tried their hand at sharing in a format like this and have found it both personally refreshing and challenging.
So here’s to step one. I’ll plan to share something that I have written in the past once a week and will seek to produce some new material or share something that I have recently written elsewhere another time each week.
I trust it will function just like the title of my blog suggests…to encourage you. The longer I serve as a pastor, the more I sense how much people need to simply be encouraged. Barnabas has always been one of my heroes in the book of Acts (see here and here). I hope to be a Barnabas in your life.
I’d love to hear from you occasionally. Interact with me and be part of our journey together until Jesus comes.
Glad you have decided to blog again.
Looking forward to what you have to say.
