Why a Blog?

Our lives are flying by with each "tick" of the clock.  I read others' blogs on occassion and wish that I was documenting our lives better.  We are also a ministry family who has experienced much in our 9 years of full-time ministry, and I want to "journal" ministry experiences, thoughts on "pastoral" parenting, and more importantly the fact that WE ARE REAL!!!!  I think for many couples and individuals embarking on a life of ministry there is a misconstrued belief that ministry families must portray a "perfect," "put-together," "we got this," image at ALL times.  However, we are NOT like that....hence the blog name "imPERFECT."  We are a REAL family living in the reality that a life of full-time ministry is hard....often paralyzing us with exhaustion and defeat..... but we find strength and comfort knowing that we are surrounded by the love of Christ and made PERFECT only by HIS blood.  We fail daily, often moment by moment, but when our Sovereign Lord looks at me, He sees PERFECTION.  So, even now with my misuse of pronouns - switching from first-person to third and back to second, you will see that this blog is going to be REAL and full of imPERFECTion!
