I'm a blogger.  I also happen to be a church leader...  And I have to confess that I'm not always exactly sure how these two roles should (or should not) be combined.  I guess I try to let the church leadership thing be a part of my blog -- just as it is a part of my life, in general -- without becoming the dominant dynamic... But I sometimes become a bit insecure about the level of balance.  Am I talking about church / ministry / Christian stuff too much (to the point that it becomes some kind of propaganda)?  Or am I not talking about it enough (to the point that it's obviously and awkwardly absent)?

Case in point:  my previous post was a narrative adaptation of a "sermon" that I delivered to our church leadership team this past weekend (with actual teaching notes also available for download).  I posted it to the blog because I thought it lent itself well to that format, plus I wanted to give the people who were there at the church meeting the direct link to the article that I referenced in my teaching, in case they were interested to read it for themselves.  But such postings are quite rare.  The only other times I can think of doing something like that typically happen around Christmas or Easter.

But I'm curious, if it were up to YOU, how much "preaching" would you like to see on this website?  Maybe you don't have very strong opinions on this subject -- or then again, maybe you do -- but if you please, I would really appreciate your feedback on this one -- which can be easily (and anonymously) supplied by using the electronic polling device embedded here below:

Please let me know what you think.  I would also be delighted, of course, to read any comments that you might wish to register on this subject.  But if you could at least fill out the poll, I would appreciate it.  And then we'll see what happens from there...
