It was a busy month around here. In between all of the normal church and family events, we had three funerals and a trip to Oklahoma packed into the past few weeks.

Add to that the specifics of a new theme and look for this website, adjustments to the front page over on DeliberateDads.com, and a few other things, like studying for my class, it’s been a pretty full month.

However, even though summer is typically pretty busy, I’m no longer in youth ministry, so my camp schedule has been greatly reduced, and I’m looking forward to having something like a normal schedule for the summer. That will be nice.

With the new look of JeffRandleman.com, and a few new features, there will be several new things that will become more consistent around here. For example, each Saturday, I share a quote that I find inspirational. I will continue to post meaningful quotes, but the format will change from an image to something more like this. Also, I will be able to share new books I purchase and books that I’m reading, and that I think you might find interesting. Book posts will look like this. And there will be other brief snippets of info scattered here and there, such as announcements, tips, events, and more!

In the meantime, and in case you missed them, here are my top seven posts for the month of May:

• 6 Characteristics Of A Good Communicator
• The Difference Between Purpose, Vision, and Mission
• Why You Need To Develop A Philosophy Of Ministry
• How To Take Notes While Reading The Bible
• Book Review – 5 Cities That Ruled The World by Douglas Wilson
• My Current Philosophy Of Ministry
• Why A Daughter Needs A Dad

Over the past few months, this list has stayed largely the same, with a few changes here and there. This month sees the addition of a couple of new items to the list. Why A Daughter Needs A Dad has made the list before, but it’s been a while. However, this month is the first time that the 5 Cities book review made the top posts. That’s pretty exciting to me.

Three of the more consistently ranked posts are from the Foundations Of Youth Ministry series, and the top post is from the How To Be A Great Communicator series. And finally, the addition of one of my Bible reading posts rounds out the top posts for the month.

My favorite post from May was written after I had to suddenly replace one of our vehicles. It’s called The Instability Of Possessions, and it came out of a lesson learned.

I’m looking forward to the coming weeks and month. Summer holds the promise of being very exciting and full of opportunity. I hope you’ll hang around to see what is on the horizon!

Have a great month!
