Glitches and Such

Today there seemed to be a bit of a glitch with the blog. I think Blogger was actually doing some sort of service upgrade or some such thing, and as a result the comments posted to one of my blogs got smoked, and a picture that I had tried posting to the church announcements blog got nuked within a minute of me posting.

Ah well.

The upside is that we can now post pictures directly to the website as a matter of news. I know it's geeking out about stuff that is kind of trivial, but I do see this as a potentially effective means of communicating with the congregation as a whole. The site updates every day, people can literally check in with either my musings or my sermons and actually get a chance to reflect on them, and leave comments. I know that I run the risk of being a bit more vulnerable this way, but isn't that what ministry is supposed to be about?

Presbytery was tonight, our new moderator Kristine had a great sermon. It's nice to have something that's directed towards us as Presbyters, rather than a repeat of last Sunday's sermon. I've been guilty of the latter myself at times.

Added note: This accidentally posted to the wrong blog... so I'm fixing that now... Glitches seem to be the order of the day... -JC
