New blog to follow

My man just started his first blog, and if you're a photography fan, it'd be worth it for you to follow. It's at Desert Rat Photos. It's pretty self-explanatory, but to do it justice, my husband has been a desert dweller for almost all his life. Lately, with the purchase of his new tablet with a decent camera, he's been getting more good nature shots. His mission is to give you a different view of the desert, a glimpse into the beauty and diversity that we find in our dry, sandy world.

Death of the Gatekeeper

Religious ministry is very different from business.   One of the major ways it is different is its goals.   A ministry exists solely to educate people in the ways of faith.   This includes teaching, doing (outreach and spiritual formation), praying, and preaching.   None of these things require a ‘gatekeeper.’    In a business, a gatekeeper is a person who is there to make sure the information gets to the right person, and make sure that the person who makes the decisions has the time and energy to make the right decisions for the company.   It is a viable method of making sure that the people at the very top don’t exhaust themselves trying to micromanage every part of their business.   A business is there to provide goods and services, and to make a profit doing so.   For example, I work at a school.   There is a ‘gatekeeper’ there.   The school secretary makes sure that every person who walks through the doors of the scho...

Update, or Effort Applied for Rewards Received

So, once again, it's been a while since I posted on here.  Today's post may be rambly, only somewhat informative, and possibly boring, but I will tell you what is going on in my life.  Beware, religious, fandom, and professional content all mixed up into one.  I'll break it down into sections so that you can "skip to the end" (Like Humperdink) if you need to. Church Stuff Though, theoretically, the two busy seasons for the church are Lent and Advent, for me, this is becoming more of a busy season.  Our priest called me last week, and asked me to take on a responsibility.  I told him yes because I felt I could, I felt I should, and I felt like him asking me was kind of a big deal.  Technically, that won't start until September, but I will be preparing for it between now and then.  Some of my other responsibilities seem to be waxing and waning with time, but more keep being added.  By choice, of course, but I'm having to learn to be more proact...

Nerdnalist Kickstarter

It's always been a dream of mine to write and talk for something I'm passionate about. I am working on a novel (very slow going lately), but I don't see that being something that I could maybe, someday, support my family through. However, I might have found something.  Finding a community of people who are passionate about at least some of the things that are important to me has also been a dream since the Vagrant Cafe shut down.  The team at Nerdnalist love a lot of the same things I love, and they smile indulgently when I go off on a tangent that isn't their specific area of passion.  That makes me happy.  I can write about pretty much anything that comes to mind and as long as it's coherent, interesting to the readership and well-formed, I can post it to a much wider audience than I have here.  So, having said all that, our website is a simple "Blogger" setup at the moment. We're working very hard to change that.  We've got grand ideas and a...
