Hitting the refresh button

Since my years in the local church, the start of July has always been a renewing time for me, a new beginning, a fresh start. It comes from the clergy appointment season starting on 1 July.

Therefore, I find myself being drawn to images and words of resiliency and re-birth. I began to carry around a red rubber ball as a tangible reminder to “keep my bounce” and remain resilient, to keep coming back and to keep going forward. I write these words in a coffee shop named PHOENIX COFFEE.....perfect.

If one was able to steal a glance at my daily journal one would read a steady refrain of my need to be in balance, to have a clearer sense of purpose, to live me wholly. I have always been one who is kind of like a tumbleweed --- a make-up of lots of stuff and varied interests who tends to be blown about by the wind of the time to wherever it carries me. Hence, the need for balance, a plan, a purpose, a direction. I almost was driven to the point of listening to “One Direction” yet figured that would indeed be taking it too far.

All this is to say, it has been a very long time since I blogged....sigh.

All this is to say, I both need to and want to start up THE MINISTRY ON THE MARGINS blog.

Consider this, the first of a new season of posts.

Thanks for sticking with me.....if like Snow White you’ve kind of drifted from the blog, please come back.....
