A New Adventure

Well, here goes! I have never done a blog before, so bear with me as I learn new skills.
I went to the Global Leadership Summit this week. It was great! I love getting inspired. One of the speakers, Seth Godin got my attention, well he already had my attention, but he said something that made me feel God was tapping me on the shoulder saying "did you get that?"
Seth said something on the lines of you want to write a book, get on with it; use the internet instead of waiting. You want to counsel people ? Well go for it. Don't hold on til it rots.
I have been talking about writing books since I was 12; you don't want to know how long ago that was; but my oldest grand-daughter turned 16 this year, so it was a long while back. I've been a counsellor for years & talking about setting up a practice for about 18 years, so I am now in process at last of doing this. I've been doing spiritual direction for maybe 13 years, now I am at last I'm doing something so I can officially be called a spiritual director.
I've been in pastoral ministry for years; but only this past June did I officially become a pastor in a church.
My philosophy is that it is never too late. But somehow that has meant it's taken a long time to get round to doing the stuff that needs to be done.
So this blog is going to be a selection; some stuff that I'm thinking about & wondering & wanting to know what others think; some stuff that will be one or more of my books; some stuff that will be sermons I've preached or sermons I'd like to preach  and some stuff that I haven't even thought of yet.
Please feel welcome to comment. I really don't mind if you agree or disagree; because I am not saying anything because I know the answers or have it all figured out - I know I don't! All I ask is that you be respectful, even if you think I'm an idiot; use polite language because my grand children may read this & maybe yours will too.
My hope is that this will expand me and maybe you will get something positive from it.
Blessings
