Usually, in this space, I give you advice and pointers, but I find myself needing some direction and insight. Hey, I thought, why not tap into that group of writer friends over at the CWG blog?

Do you ever have a day where you just come up blank? Today, I was immersed in the joy of using a brand-spankin-new software system for my parish’s ministry scheduling. We’re not a very big parish, but wow, is ministry scheduling the bane of my work there! I was excited and dreading it in equal […]

It’s not about the numbers. Go ahead. Laugh. I just did. Because it’s SO EASY to forget. What they are: Stats […]
