Just Imagine....

Imagine arriving to a class on advanced web design. You have no previous knowledge. No computer to use. No creative impulses like the others around you. Dramatic splashes of colour, crazy fonts, moving images. You've got two hours to put together something that will be up to par with everyone around you. Are you ready?! Go!

Impossible? Perhaps. Creating something as demanding as this without all the tools would be very
difficult. But pastoral care is not like that. You may say,
pastoral care, what in the world is that?

Well, have you ever visited a sick friend? Have you ever listened to someone hurting from the loss of a loved one? Has anyone ever asked you for advice on raising a child? Have you ever just called someone to check and see how they are doing? Can you recall a time when
you received an email that seemed to be calling out for more than just a simple reply?

Still reading? Great! That means that you live in the real world, and you value relationships.

My hope is that this new blog will be "A New Place to Gather" and really listen to what we each have to share. To take time to respond. Then make a connection. Often we are called to connect by sharing our own experiences.

I hope you will join me as we connect on topics of interest. By responding to others with questions because connecting is making that link. The possibilities are endless!
