i'm amazed at how quickly this year seems to be passing. i try so hard to keep my schedule from hitting that "dangerously close to overbooked" line, and i seem to be doing okay jealously guarding my time.
i'm pleased to see that the changes i'm making in our kids ministry seem to be benefitting the whole. the kids love the regular activities outside of sunday services. and while we've only had one special sunday event (which will be happening monthly), they are getting the gist... bring a friend, get a prize, and your friend gets to have as much fun as you do. but there's more to be done. lots more. it's much, much more than "making sunday happen". you can't build a ministry for growth if you just plug holes and focus on getting through the next service. that's not what i want. that's not what God wants. so the ideas keep coming, and changes will continue to be made.
i'm not really feeling the hobbies much these days. the camera gets used on an as-needed basis, not quite as regularly as i want. the shorter days make it hard though - when do i find the time... maybe that will change soon. i sat down to make a thank you card last night, and played with some new product i received as a birthday gift. it was fun, but i didn't produce anything earth-shatteringly inspired. most of my work has been that way lately - i assume, because i'm distracted by greater and more meaningful things, like ministry. but that attitude is a whole different post in itself.
so, today i'm waving goodbye to february. here comes march!
