Friday Fly-by
14 Dec
- I’ve strayed from a critical element in my ministry. Getting new butt’s in the seats. Got to stop assuming that kids will just show up. More on that later…
- I’m looking for innovative ways to train volunteers. Any thoughts?
- My friend Bob has a great opportunity for meaningful Christmas giving. Why not Give Different this year?
- I’m in the Amen corner on Scott’s post ‘Size Does Matter’.
- Is anyone kicking your butt right now? Why not? I’ve got a few people challenging my thinking. I hate it. But I need it.
- Keegan’s been sick this week. Upper respiratory infection. Please pray for him.
- I haven’t spent this much time in my pj’s since college. Kind of fun.
- Why does odor from a diaper pervade every inch of breathable space within a room?
- Celebrating Child Dedications this weekend. One of my favorite events in LifeKIDS. Why? Because it’s another opportunity to cast vision to a parent regarding the future of their family.
- I’m still trying to convince my 8-year old that he’s perfectly capable of changing a diaper. Still not working.
Have a great weekend!
Gina,
Training is a tough one. I never get all the people there I want. I started to use my blog. I write posts password protect them for my leaders and send them an email. I don’t tell them what is in the post just give them a general idea the link and the password. I think it makes them curious. My last post I experimented with making a rough uncut video of me passing on info and vision. They seem to really like it.
Stay in those PJ’s.
Cindy,
i’m still in my pj’s!
Sam,
i hadn’t thought of that. great idea. making the post exclusive to your intended audiences keeps it focused and keeps from boring those it isn’t geared toward. thanks
Gina, I must tell you my girls want invite cards like we get in “big church”. They are so much more bold than we are.
And 4 diapers are so bad the smell is outside of my house. Actually its 8. 2 per kid in diapers at my house today. I think if I watch more kids the prerequisite is going to be that they are potty-trained.
Gina,
I’ve got invite cards for the girls. I will load them up. Let them know, we’ll be hitting the ‘friend’ factor pretty hard after the first of the year. Better make room in your van!
