OK...They've been telling me for months that there's absolutely NOTHING to this blog thing. So today I asked Brian to set me up. Then Rick comes into Brian's office to join us in the effort. "Just 2 minutes" they assured me. About 45 minutes later...ready to go! They didn't instill a lot of confidence. Now I'm home alone to fend for myself as I'm writing this.

I know there are many of you at PF who know what I do. Some of you have a general sense of it; many others know me because we've walked through some of the best/worst times of our lives together. But it always haunts me that there are too many PFrs who don't even have a clue WHO I am. 

I am by nature not very interested in ME; I'm interested in EVERYBODY ELSE. (I think this personality type is referred to as the Golden Retriever). So, not being very interested in me, I don't exactly look for opportunities to talk about myself and what I do. I just DO it. I like to think this is at the very heart of Praise Fellowship's DNA.

I do think it's important for you to know what it is that I do.  If you've ever asked me, I had a hard time explaining it within the framework of a "job description". The original intent was to scope out folks who needed a little help feeling "plugged in." Later someone used the words "keeping your finger on the pulse of PF." I think this blog may be the ideal way for me to communicate to you the scope of "what I do"; better yet, this may be the best vehicle to keep you in the loop about many of the "people" things that go largely unnoticed  within the context of a Sunday morning gathering. If Sunday morning gives you the headlines, consider John's Blog the human interest column.
