Nov. 1st, 30 Days of blogging

I have been blogging for a few years now.  I started a blog just because it sounded good, and to share my thoughts of various things.  I never intended to write anything amazing but just to share ideas with other people.  I have never been consistent at it, going weeks if not months between blogs.  

Well, I am making a commitment to blog for 30 days straight.  Each day of November I will type out an article from either personal life or youth ministry.  Not sure why I picked 30 days or even November.  I just figured that if I am going to blog, then I need to commit to it.  I have tons of stuff I would like to get out (just for me), so this is how I am going to do it.  Below is a tentative list of the topics I will cover.  I am going to try to stick with the schedule but some of it may change, who knows.

Anyways, read on to see if anything interests you or if you have any ideas or suggestions for an article, let me know.  I have a couple spots open.
