Sorry things went quiet here this month. I took a week off from church ministry and blogging to tackle a bunch of projects around the house.

Most of the time, I was covered with grime and disguised with safety goggles and a face mask — alternating between fence repair and drywall mud in two bedroom walls.

In ministry, there’s never time for a “weekend project,” so this DIY Week was a great way to catch up. We’ll probably make it an annual tradition. And praise the Lord, we enjoyed some beautiful warm weather (sorry to rub it in, East Coast friends).

Check back soon for more regular blog posts on church ministry and leadership development.
