I am continually amazed at how quickly the months fly by. Summer is over, school is in session, and fall is in full swing, even though it still feels like summer here on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

Things are starting to settle into a routine for the family now. We have adjusted to our new home pretty well, although a few things still seem kind of crazy; we have a storage unit with a lot of stuff in it that we need to integrate into our home, but won’t happen until we sell the house in Missouri and purchase one here. Until then, I am having a hard time finding anything when I need it. It always ends up being in a box in the garage or in the storage facility.

Other than that, we seem to be making the adjustments necessary to our new community, new church, and new friends. We really love Florida!

With a new location, I guess my creative juices were inspired in different ways. I have a project in the works that will be unveiled in the month of October. It will be a resource that I hope will help dads become great dads, and give them the tools and resources to be deliberate and intentional in their role as a father. More on that in the very near future!

In case you missed them, here are my top seven posts for the month of September:

1. The Difference Between Purpose, Vision, and Mission
2. Tips For Becoming More Consistent In Your Bible Reading
3. Why You Need To Develop A Philosophy Of Ministry
4. The Maniac And The Messiah
5. My Current Philosophy Of Ministry
6. Trying A New Bible Reading System
7. Book Review: Sacred Pathways by Gary Thomas

For the past few months, something from my series of posts on purpose, mission and vision have made this list. It’s pretty encouraging to see so many people reading my material on this topic.

As for the rest of this list for the month, two posts were about reading the Bible. I suspect that this is because of one individual contacting me asking if he could reprint my Tips post in his church newsletter. This may have helped generate more traffic to these articles.

The last post on the list is a book review from almost three years ago. I loved this book, and a lot of the rest of Gary Thomas’ material that I’ve read.

I’ve started a new weekly post, called Coffee Break. The first post of this type was published yesterday, so it hasn’t had the time to see a lot of traffic yet. But I’m excited about it. Every week, Coffee Break will share a few of the fun, interesting and challenging things from around the web that I’ve read over the past few days. Check it out!

My favorite post written in September was one I wrote about a new series of lessons I’m teaching the teens at our church, looking at some of the miracles that Jesus performed: Believing In Miracles. So far this has been a refreshing look at some well known stories from the New Testament.

October promises to be great! Have a great month!
