http://midliferookie.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Ministry Moments and Other Mid-Life Musings. Life in the middle of many firsts. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Today I took time for a morning retreat at the park. I've had considerable anxiety about being solo pastor at my new church. I knew I needed to spend some time with God before I get caught up in a million details (okay a thousand). As I began to read and reflect, I made some discoveries. Links to this post. Monday, June 28, 2010. Looking Back, Looking Forward. We had a joyful, temporary good bye as w...

Ministry Moments and Other Mid-Life Musings: March 2010
http://midliferookie.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Ministry Moments and Other Mid-Life Musings. Life in the middle of many firsts. Sunday, March 28, 2010. In January, someone recommended a book called. Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes. By William Bridges. Am I the only one who sees the humor in a man named Bridges writing a book about transitions? When I bought it, I had no idea how much this book would apply to me in the coming weeks and months. In February, I passed my ordination interviews. WooHoo! Three years ago, if I had been told I was ...

Ministry Moments and Other Mid-Life Musings: Facing 50
http://midliferookie.blogspot.com/2010/08/facing-50.html
Ministry Moments and Other Mid-Life Musings. Life in the middle of many firsts. Friday, August 20, 2010. I was thinking today as I drove away from my hairdresser's after getting last week's cut modernized, "I think I'm ready to face 50." I've got my little red car with a sunroof, my cool iPhone with the little red case, and a cute, modern (slightly defrumping) haircut. The boat reminds me of when I got to meet you. Turning 50 - ftw!

Growing Where I'm Planted: Bits and Pieces
http://growingwhereimplanted.blogspot.com/2010/02/bits-and-pieces.html
Growing Where I'm Planted. Reflections on being rooted and grounded in love. Friday, February 05, 2010. We're going to put our house up for sale. Painters in the house.so much fun. I know I'm pushing myself too hard. I know I'm pushing some people too hard, while not nudging some people enough. I have deacons who refuse to visit people. Why don't people understand that the statement, "I don't feel comfortable with that," is not a conversation ender, but a conversation starter? That's all for right now.

I truly do. She's a sweet, sweet woman. But not cut out for this work. I feel like a jerk. Youre not a jerk. As a very wise someone told me once,youre not firing her, shes already done it herself with all that shes done/ not done! Good luck and my prayers as you have a difficult conversation.

Growing Where I'm Planted. Reflections on being rooted and grounded in love. Sunday, June 07, 2009. Just Doing My "Duty! For better or for worse, I did preach this morning- a sermon on John 3 from my files. My music director and liturgist took up the slack in everything else.save the children's time. Like a knucklehead, I did that. I did tell the kids to keep a reasonable distance from me, however! Is it because it's a our duty? Now for the latest in my file of crap (or duty! I don't have time for. This ...

Ministry Moments and Other Mid-Life Musings. Life in the middle of many firsts. Saturday, July 10, 2010. Without going into too many details, I can tell you that my start at the new church has had it's ups and downs: moderate crisis with youth mission trip at 9:10 am on my first official day, serious financial and tax situations brought to my attention 3 weeks before I started, and all 3 members of the Pastor Parish Relations committee leaving the church for different reasons, none of them being me.
