A rollerskating jam named Saturday
Hey y'all. Not much to say today, but I'm determined to use what chances I get to actually keep blogging. Blog, blog, blog!
I was thinking earlier about a seminar where I've been asked to guest-teach a session on communications management for pastors. Should be fun - I fear that a significant part of my audience may be the type of shepherd who still harbours a secret belief that e-mail is the devil's work and USB the abbreviation of a little-known Bible translation. Therefore, I plan to really push the use of electronic communication within the realm of my other, more general recommendations for improving intra-ecclesial communication (yes, I AM proud of that term, though I fear I probably just invented it...). And, among other things, I intend to recommend the use of a blog, be it as a channel for communicating ideas and making oneself "personable" to a congregation, or simply as an anonymous forum wherein a pastor might vent his or her frustrations and share ideas with a waiting world (or secluded circles of users, if access were to be limited). I truly believe this might be a good way of harnessing the Net's virtues for what is, in my eyes, a worthy cause - the running and managing of a church fellowship.
Anyway, what I was trying to say originally was that if I'm going to recommend such things, then I as the speaker should be putting money where my mouth is. And to be able to point my audience to my blog without risking dire embarassment, I will need to keep it updated, won't I? "Cogito ergo sum", as dear old David Brent might have misguidedly quipped at this point. So, here we go. BTW, have a great weekend, y'all, and talk to you soon. Cheerio!
