Summer has hit around the Randleman home. The kids are out of school (for the most part), and almost finished with summer school. The weather has been nice enough to hang the hammock out and enjoy the fresh air. And the grass is growing fast enough to need cut almost twice a week!
With June comes such things as church camp, Vacation Bible School, and a whole lot more. I think it is probably safe to say that the summer will be pretty busy.
Along with all of that, I am continuing to pursue my studies with ICR’s School of Biblical Apologetics, moving into a few courses that are more theological in nature. And I am launching a new business venture, in the area of photography. You can check out some of my work at photography.jeffrandlean.com.
It’s a wonder I even find time to read and write anymore. However, I am looking forward to several opportunities to hang out that hammock and grab a book this summer, and relish the thought of listlessly swinging in the breeze. It will be great!
In the realm of blogging, the month of May has been fairly consistent, if not as prolific as I would like, when it comes to creating new content. It seems like there is always something that keeps me busy, and I don’t have the opportunity to write as much as I would like. Granted, we are in the midst of a very busy season of life, as well as ministry, but my goal is to increase my writing in the coming weeks and months.
In that regard, in case you missed them, here are the top seven posts from JeffRandleman.com for the month of May, in terms of traffic.
- 6 Characteristics Of A Good Communicator
- How To Take Notes While Reading The Bible
- The Difference Between Purpose, Vision, and Mission
- My Current Philosophy Of Ministry
- Classic Bible: My Favorite Passages From Nehemiah
- Trying A New Bible Reading System
- 7 Steps To Defining A Purpose And Vision For Youth Ministry
Much of this list is very consistent, coming from the Foundations of Youth Ministry series. However, the post on Nehemiah is new this month, and several others, such as A Work of Heart, and my review of Field Notes notebooks, which were on this list in the past few months, are not far off still.
My personal favorite post from the month of May was a review of Popov Leather’s Field Notes wallet. Ryan Popoff graciously sent me a sample of his work in exchange for the review, and I have to say, I love this wallet. It’s the best combination of a wallet with a Field Notes that I have ever found, and it fits my needs perfectly.
I am praying that you have a great month! I look forward to seeing what God brings in the weeks to come!
