To Err is Humarn...

...but to really screw it up takes a computer.

I've been trying to work that comment into as many conversations and situations as possible. At this moment it is relevant because Blogger is not letting me upload pictures, but just keeps timing out. But maybe that's a good thing because pictures are like selling out. A Blog is a journal which means thoughts and writing, not fancy pictures. Posting pictures is like selling out and trying to bribe people into checking your blog with eye candy.

Karisa and I are leading the Newcomers ministry at church now. We spent time last night calling our newcomers to thank them for coming and invite them back. It is very interesting the different reactions you get. Karisa talked to one person who was a virtual waterfall of information and they talked for quite a while. I, on the other hand, talked to a person who was not interested in visiting again and you could tell.

Over all, though, I think that people really appreciate the calls. Even those who never come back like to know that we were glad to have them.

Connecting with people is also a lot about personalities. Sometimes I will talk to a visitor and we can hit it off really well. Other times it feels like a chore. I'm sure my mood and sleep levels affect that too, though!

Leading this ministry together with Karisa is also pretty awesome. It's a challenge to learn to work together. I've done a lot at church, but always by myself. So I have to figure out co-leadership. It's also a great chance to see Karisa's gifts and skills in action. She always undersells herself, but she's full of giftings. She's a great leader, too! One day, before we die, I look forward to hearing her describe herself as a leader... :)
