No Miniblinds in a Fishbowl
Isn’t this a fun theme? At last week’s deacon wives conference in Ridgecrest North Carolina, we used “No Miniblinds in a Fishbowl” as a theme. One breakout class was titled “swimming lessons” - with tips about how to minister to church members in crisis.
Steve used a fishing theme with the deacons, too: “What’s In Your Tacklebox?” They had an excellent challenge to keep evangelism at the forefront of ministry - “Wishing I was fishing!”
As we head off for vacation time in Colorado, Steve and our son, Tylor, will be doing lots of fishing. They’ll spend every day in rubber boots in the middle of the Crystal River, fly fishing and enjoying the beauty of God’s creation and some great father-son time. And I’ll be sitting on a rock surrounded by beautiful wildflowers next to the Crystal River, working on my laptop on a manuscript for a book for pastor wives.
Pray for great weather and great fishing.
Pray for those wonderful deacon and deacon wives we enjoyed at Ridgecrest last week.
And pray for me as I write — for God’s wisdom and inspiration. It’s going to be a fun vacation!
