October was a pretty crazy month around here. Between football games, church events, and my health problems, it was a crazy month. And it flew by. November begins the season of birthdays in our family, and of course, the holidays. 2015 will be over before we know it!
With all that has been going on, I have been more intentional about carving out some time to write consistently. With everything that has been going on with my health, that has been tough, but I am striving to stay on a schedule.
I am also trying to strengthen my habit of journaling, and take it to the next level. So I have been writing a lot more than normal. What would really help is if we had a good coffee shop around here. But alas, we do not. There is one in the next town over, but his open hours are so inconsistent, it isn’t worth the time to drive over there, only to find out he is closed for the day. Ah, the joys of rural, small town life.
And so, I have been seeking out places to write outside my normal desk at the office and my corner at home. While the weather lasts, writing outside is enjoyable. But that can’t last much longer. In the meantime, I am having fun with the process.
In case you missed them, here are the top seven posts from JeffRandleman.com for the month of October. Once again, many of these are consistently on this list.
- How To Take Notes While Reading The Bible
- 6 Characteristics Of A Good Communicator
- The Difference Between Purpose, Vision, and Mission
- My Current Philosophy Of Ministry
- Why You Need To Develop A Philosophy Of Ministry
- Book Review – A Work Of Heart by Reggie McNeal
- 7 Steps To Defining A Purpose And Vision For Youth Ministry
My favorite post from the month of October was The Sacredness Of The Word. The more I write and read, the more I love the medium I have been chosen to work with. Words are incredible, and the tools of the trade are very fascinating. This post lacks the deepest roots of my love for words, and The Word, simply because it is impossible to articulate. But this was my attempt.
I am praying that you have a great month! I look forward to seeing what God brings in the weeks to come!
