In listening to Mark D. Roberts and Tod Bolinger, two pastors who did one of the breakout sessions, the key phrase, for me, was “find your own voice.” They defined that as writing about my passions and concerns. I’ve struggled with what to write about since I started this in June. I want to write, but what I started with is not what I’ve been writing about lately. The issue of turning a church around is a hugely important one, but I’ve gotten bogged down in writing about it. I am passionate about that, but realize that I need to mix up what I’m writing about, so that I do not continually harp on one issue. I like writing light hearted things, too, fun things, different happenings, from my family to church to just every day observations that I make, like what I wrote about in beginning the blogging conference.

Incidentally, both of these gentlemen I have been looking forward to meeting. I’ve been reading their blogs for some time, have enjoyed their insight. They are every bit as gracious and encouraging as I have found them to be in their blogs. Meeting them has been a highlight. And the fact that they took a while to find their "voice" in blogging was encouraging to me. The best way to learn is to keep at it, so I will.
