Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

For the past 11 years I've been serving in ministry settings that have revolved around congregational ministry of some sort.  The past three years I have served in a Navy Chapel in Japan.  In a little over a week, I'll move to a new ministry setting that has nothing to do with preparing to lead worship on a weekly basis, nor will it mean preparing weekly sermons.

Weekly sermons have been the primary content of this blog.  If not weekly sermons per se, then it has been meditations revolving around those texts, or thoughts relating to congregational development or local church ministry.  Sometimes denominational politics.

But as I have been thinking about the new setting I'm moving into, I have also been reflecting on my blog, and what to do with it.

I haven't been as regular in posting as I would like to.  Maybe part of that is the need to have "sermon quality" content.  Maybe it's the need to have a specific content, centering around church or theology.

I really don't know where this blog is headed.  But changes are coming. 

I think those of you who read with "regularity" can expect, more human, more raw, reflection on the Gospels.  By more real, I guess I mean more deeply personal reflection, because they won't be "sanctuary safe" reflections.

You may also find more "mundane" blog posts too because I do have a lot of interests other than just preaching and worship and church life.

I don't know what coming, honestly I don't.  But I hope those of you who choose to read will continue to choose to read, as I figure out what to write.

Pacem.
