Why?
Why? Why am I doing this? Have you ever asked that question? That is the question I asked myself when I was thinking about blogging. Why would I do this - do I have time – is it important? Well here is how I answered those questions. My pastor (Jerry Gillis, www.thechapel.com) has challenged us as a staff to remember that the first person to lead is ourselves.
