One of the blogs I subscribe to is FlowerDust.net. Anne Jackson is a writer. I have appreciated her blog and have enjoyed reading through her thoughts. Anne is writing a new book that I wanted to get the info out on. This book will deal directly with burnout in ministry. I had a chance to email her and explained that I have been fortunate to work in a church environment where the staff are very aware of the dangers of burnout and how much of our lives can be spent doing "ministry" work.
Anyway, go check out the Mad Church Disease Website and look into it. Help support Anne and ministry workers as we work together doing God's work. You can take time at the site to read up on all the info as well as take a survey. The survey is for Pastors...families of people in ministry as well as volunteers. I know a lot of you fall under one of those categories.
I have also posted a banner in the sidebar of my page. So if you come back some day looking for a link, It's right there under my ugly mug.
About Me
- inWorship
- If you've stopped by to check this blog out, you may see pics of my family, you may hear about my work, you may have to deal with me talking about something I love, maybe a rant every once in a while and possibly some wisdom, but mostly just thoughts. I am a Creative Arts Pastor in Southern Oregon and I absolutely love what I do. I get to be who God created me to be and do that for a living and as ministry. I am very grateful. This blog has been a journey of practicing discipline and I hope to learn so much more through it and from you...the reader. Everything I write will be from my heart whether selfish or humble. Enjoy!
