We have entered into June. The year is almost half over. This is slightly alarming to me. Time seems to be flying by far too quickly this year.
May held a few surprises and big events. My oldest daughter turned 16 and got her drivers license. We now have a third driver in the home, and the insurance that goes with it.
Our church hired a new youth minister, and we took a crew to Kansas City to move him down here. His family is in place and beginning to settle in.
I went to the doctor for a few seemingly unconnected symptoms, wondering if I had heart issues. It turns out that I most likely have severe sleep apnea, and further testing is needed. You can read more on that here.
That means that my writing schedule was way off. I have lost my stride this month, and it shows. Hopefully, I can slide into some sort of a new schedule that will allow me to write the things I want to write, and post them on a consistently regular basis.
In the meantime, just in case you missed them, here are my top seven posts for the Month of May:
- How To Take Notes While Reading The Bible
- 6 Characteristics Of A Good Communicator
- The Difference Between Purpose, Vision, and Mission
- Why You Need To Develop A Philosophy Of Ministry
- My Current Philosophy Of Ministry
- Tips For Becoming More Consistent In Your Bible Reading
- 7 Steps To Defining A Purpose And Vision For Youth Ministry
Every single post on this list this month is older content. Some are from a year ago, others are from several years ago. With very little new over the past few weeks, this is hardly surprising. But I’m a bit disappointed in myself regardless.
My favorite post from the month of May was What To Do When You’re Tired. Little did I know that this was a prelude to the health awakening I am in the midst of.
I am praying that you have a great month! Please continue to keep me in your prayers as we seek to find an answer to these health struggles.

My traffic was dropping a little too. How is it now?
June was better than May. July is usually a low month, but it started well thanks to traffic coming to my post about the SCOTUS decision. I feel like I’ve had a renewed motivation and inspiration for writing recently, and I think that is also contributing to the recent improvement.
