Writing

To the faithful readers who have been checking in daily here at BenjaminRainey.com I want to say thanks for your continued confidence. I appreciate the small measure that you give me by visiting this site to read. I have enjoyed writing here going back to 2005. Wow, that sounds like a long time. Over that time my writing has primarily focused on Severn River Church, and my life as its pastor. Now that the church has closed I have some challenges when it comes to writing listed as follows:

1. So much to write, so little time. That may seem funny as currently my workload is greatly reduced, but I find the posts in my head are of some significance and so I want to dedicate proper time to their presentation for posterity's sake.
2. Seasons change. "If a man thinks he leads and has no one following, then he is only taking a walk" (Maxwell) Right now I find myself in a position that I haven't been in for over 10 years. I don't have a group that I'm leading directly. I'm sure I still have influence in different nooks of the world, but no direct influence. I'm recalibrating what I might say during this season. Right now I'm just walking more quietly.
   
3. I will write. I am not a great writer, but I enjoy the habit. This is an outlet for me to share and process the thoughts that I have on life, ministry and leadership. During this time I'm just feeling a bit private. I'm sure it will pass. I'm looking forward to the future of this website, and am thinking through some options of where it will evolve in the future.

Thanks for reading.
