Introductions!

Hello!! Glad to have you here. Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I am currently volunteering as the interim youth director at my local congregation. Their previous director had to leave unexpectedly due to family illness. I had been working with the youth group as a student previously, and began leading them at the beginning of March, 2016. I was youth director at my previous congregation for 3 years. We'll see where all of that takes me in the coming weeks.

 I am part of the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America). I received my seminary degree in 2012 in diaconal ministry from LTSS (Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary). I have 5 units of CPE (clinical pastoral education), and therefore I am considered a clinically certified chaplain. I am currently working on obtaining a certificate in Youth and Theology from Princeton Theological Seminary.

 Enough about me - what about the blog? That's the main reason you're here!

 My vision for this blog is to share my ideas & thoughts, share my successes, and also share those moments of "well that didn't work well!" I'm not promising a predictable blog - ministry isn't predictable (and neither am I!) I'm very interested in intergenerational ministry. The main focus in this blog is youth, but you'll also find things about/for children, young adults, middle-aged adults, senior citizens, and whoever doesn't happen to fit into those categories.

 I hope this blog aids you in your own ministry - whatever that ministry looks like. We're all in this together.
Learn and grow in God with me!

In This World... Not of it.

What does that phrase mean? I've heard a lot of interpretations. One is that we, as Christians, should shy away from any and all influences of this world. We should not listen to any non-Christian music, we should not watch TV shows that do not have a "redeeming" purpose, and so on. While this is a worthy idea, it's not exactly sustainable. It also does not give us the ability to be "in this world" and instead creates a wall between Christians and "the world." This divides us from all others. If we are divided, separated, from the rest of the world, how can we possibly serve it? I've recently come to believe that "in the world, not of it" has a much deeper meaning than simply avoiding the sinful influences of the world. The world, especially now, will have us believe that we are in constant danger. There is a continual bombardment of messages telling us how bad the world is now. We are told that Muslims are the enemy. Immigrants are...

Experiences

I was talking to someone recently who voted opposite of me. She gave me her reasoning. Then told me "I've had enough experience to know." I was so stunned, I didn't know what to say. I felt like I'd been told that my own experiences weren't enough to understand "grown up" politics. She's only 3 years older than me! She also has no idea of what I've experienced.  Everyone's experiences in life shape who they are and how they see the world. Here are some of mine. I've sat with a teenaged mother as her not-even-a-week-old baby lay dying in his hospital bed. I've comforted a Buddhist woman whose Christian husband was in ICU. I've sat with a Hindu mother as she tried desperately to understand God's role in her baby's diagnosis with special needs. I've read Psalms with a Jewish man who was, rightfully, angry. I've moved 5 times in 5 years - 3 of those times was in one year. I've walked the beginning stag...

Thoughts and looking forward

It's been a bit since I've posted. Last week, I was away from the youth group for Princeton Seminary's Institute of Youth Ministry's annual forum. I got to hear from some amazing, brilliant people who really have a heart and understanding for youth ministry. I'm still processing it all! That will be another post, though. The week before, the youth had a jam-packed Wonderful Wednesday. It was our turn for clean-up after the meal. I didn't realize it would take quite as long as it did. That's one of my shortcomings - judging the amount of time it will take to do anything. I'd be chronically late to new places if it weren't for GPS telling me exactly how long it will take me to drive! I digress. We cleaned every pot, pan, knife, and spoon in the kitchen, as well as the tables and anything else we could get our hands on! I say we ... Really, the youth did most of the work.  Photo source: Cliparts After all of that cleaning, we played with the ...
