Friday Blog Roundup on Sunday!
Well, I DID promise you a Friday rundown of blogs. I just didn’t plan on it being late Sunday night my time when I did this. That’s the way the week has went. I’ll blog more about that later (perhaps a series on patience!). For now, I wanted to give my usual weekly shout-out to some others whose posts are worth reading..
I’ve always appreciated Ben Arment’s thoughts and ideas. This past week, he wrote about a key component to building solid church teams; a “vision” breakfast. Consider his thoughts and plan your own!
The “Ministry Marketing Coach” has a new spin on the tired church newsletter. Can it be of use to you. Chris seems to think so!
Leo at Zen Habits has written about a “Life Laundry Day” to help you plan your week. Check this out and get moving with a weekly to daily routine. I’ve done this on Sunday nights for a few years now and it really helps me plan my weeks and break them down into days.
I think tomorrow I will order Nelson Searcy’s “Time Management for Busy Pastors” for my staff. I’ve read a number of great books on time management and use my GTD+R system faithfully each day to manage my tasks. However, the audio medium is appealing to busy pastors who can listen in their cars, while exercising, etc.. The resource is a bit expensive for our little church plant, $87 for the boxed set, but I think it will pay large dividends in the long run. Nelson’s stuff is good and gives you many things to think about.
Well, have a good start to your week. I will try to post sometime tomorrow as time allows! Be blessed.
