Try, Try Again

After months of inactivity, I'm trying to be a better blogger. I'm looking for a good way of linking my personal blog and my church blog. I think, in the end, that I may just need to copy-and-paste common posts between them. Ug.
Life has been hectic. I'm struggling to motivate my congregation. For a long time I've been in the front, urging them to follow. A few weeks ago, I got behind and started pushing. Reactions have been mixed, to say the least. If it weren't for the calling of God, no sane person would do this job!
Things are calming down, but I feel stuck in the same rut. How do we call people deeper into relationship with Jesus? How do we call them past their comfort zones? Hard questions with no easy answers.
I'm convinced that the way to begin is to expect more of people. For decades we've been expecting less and less, and we have been succeeding fabulously! The time has come to expect more.
