the conundrum of a convention is that it depresses and lifts you all at the same time. you are listening to people that have "done" it and it encourages you, but discourages you because you haven't "done it".
putting all the stuff you learn together is one of the hard parts, but i know one thing i keep hearing over and over is "strategy". why do you do it? is it accomplishing anything? no? than do something else.
in my situation, the high school ministry is in a good place, there isn't much, so we can start, somewhat, from the ground floor, but the confirmation program is entrenched. it has been done "this way" for God knows how long, and it will be "easy" to add, but i'm worried about the implications of evaluating based on strategy.
the Lord is in His temple...and there is still a faith that can make the mountains move...
i try to take comfort in that.
