I have a myspace that I check regularly. I spend most of my time catching up with teens from the church and a little bit catchin up with the adults in my life.
I don't enjoy "blogging" in my myspace, the things that I choose to write on myspace, are usually very purposefully written towards the teens.
I don't write about my pregnancy, which I should.
And I just read the most amazing LONG article about Phil Vischer, the fall of Big Idea, & Veggie Tales, AND I don't want to write about it my myspace.
I have a live journal that I check once a week. I don't really know why anymore. Routine.
And now I am here.
But here is where my grown-up friends are.
And I think I might be a grown-up to.
I am a chlidren's ministry director. I have always cared about the things that enter a child's heart and mind. And I always want those things to point a child to Christ.
I have watched a lot of Veggie Tales, but now that I am going to be a parent, I don't feel like I have read enough or watched enough of the things that will enter my child's heart and mind. Because now it is MY child that I want to be pointed to Christ. Oh how this will open my eyes.
I didn't think the feelings would change that much with a child on it's way. I thought I always cared a lot, but now, I care more than I did. In fact I care more today than I did yesterday. I only imagine that pattern will continue again tomorrow.
Which means I want to read and investigate everything that I come across, more that I already do in my job.
I've read three children's books today, I've read several book reviews, found a website that does christian children book reviews that I trust and like, and read the entire story behind the bankruptcy of Big Idea (the Veggie Tales company).
All because I happened to want a little background on a couple different things.
http://www.philvischer.com/index.php/?p=38 (Story of what happened to big idea?)
So I read the 10 page story of how the bakruptcy happend.
I took me awhile, I hate reading that long of articles on my computer, my hand fell asleep because my head was rested on my palm which my elbow and fore arm were supporting. Poor squashed, sad, asleep hand.
I was riveted by the article. I've always loved the business side of things - management and people and goals. And in ministry it is different. Because it's ministry, I know that that each person that I work with on a daily basis loves Jesus with all thier heart, or they wouldn't be working at a church. You don't work at church because you make lots of money. In fact, if you work at a church, you must ask yourself more than once, if you would do your job for free. And when you say yes, you must mean it. I am blessed to be paid for what I do.
I will begin posting in here more. I imagine. Especially as the pregnancy progresses.
