Numbers

Ok, I'm definitely not one of those anti-numbers guys...like we should never count how many people are attending, etc. But, I don't want to be consumed by numbers where it's the only thing that matters.

So today when someone said to me, "Tell me about your student ministry" - why did I go straight to the numbers? Maybe it's because it's an easy answer. Maybe it's because I care about them more than I should.

If someone asked you to tell them about your ministry, how would you respond?

    You're hilarious. Personally, I wouldn't start with numbers though. I would start with something exciting going on.

    I haven't checked back to verify this but I think you only comment on my "self-critical" posts. :)
