What kinds of leaders are we to produce within the church? After several years in ministry I’ve seen and heard of how pastors have modeled true leadership amognst their staff. I’ve seen and experienced many kinds of leadership styles. Passive. Agressive. I know for me I want to be someone who models the kind of leadership that only helps those looking for their niche within the church become true servant leaders. Leaders who model a Christ like example of loving the unlovable and ministering to those who need God to completley transform and change their lives. I have to admit though there aspects of leadership that can be difficult to face. This is defintely an area I’ve learned a great deal in my first year of ordained ministry. More to come.

Tyepad wins. Why? I like the look. It’s easy and user friendly. No html. Nothing. You can do so much more than blogger. I can’t wait to play with the picture photo album. I’m envisioning a typepad blog for our student ministry at church. I’ve been looking for ways of posting pictures from camps, retreats, and mission trips. I’ve also gotten tired of doing those silly youth calendars, playing with clipart, and making my youth calendars on publisher. Does anyone really read them? This would be so much easier for me to update. I can send it out to parents and students alike through an email list. Assuming that families have high speed Internet access. My only issue is as my friend Tim has mentioned is what if you only average maybe 8-10 folks per day? Is it worth paying for a blogging service? I will also have to figure out a way on how to increase traffic. Time to start praying for ideas.
