Boggin: Day 1

My friend Claudia (aka: the preacher's wife) has told me I should blog, so we'll see how this goes. I don't think I am very interesting, she is. I "live" youth ministry. Coordinate what is called the MN United Methodist Youth In Action Team which consists of about 100 7th-12th graders across the state of MN. Claudia thinks I have brain damage for working with teenagers. She amazes me ........ and I have so much respect for what she does. She is the mother of 10 adopted children, oh did I mention most have special needs of some sort? She also is the poster woman for adoption .... doing speaking gigs all over the country and making connections with kids who might not otherwise get a chance to have a family. She is a blessing, a good Mom, an example of Christ, a marshmallow but can stop a kid cold with a look, and a great writer .... and so for her ..... I'll blog.

Really what we do is very similiar .... connecting kids. Claudia connects them with a family and I hopefully connect them with Christ. Different gifts, same purpose .... something to write about I suppose. So, hopefully, you'll find something worth reading here. Maybe I'll post a few little devotionals I write evey now and then and maybe when they preacher's wife gets back in town she can help me put a picture on here for my profile ... now wouldn't that be snazzy.

and so .... I'll blog. Today ... is day 1 ..... and we're off.

Peace,

Lori
