thanks for your responses

Hello, companion readers,

Thanks for your responses to this morning's blog entry. The whole thing started when the Mustard Seed Library received a box of books for possible inclusion from Joyce. We are going to pass all the books through for Pastor Maddox's consideration but it seems like both Joyce and I should familiarize ourselves with church library practices, we should be challenged in learning our denomination's theology and work on trying to be discerning as to what kinds of books will be most helpful to our congregation and others in the community using our library. Besides just putting the whole matter in Pastor Maddox's hands, it seemed like we could have a book club to discuss some of the books. There are transportation problems, car and gas, etc., etc., etc., and also time problems, work and so forth, so thought maybe a blog would help us out. Actually, last Sunday, God answered our prayers I know because Joyce God-incidentally had a conversation with Eleanor Manley's daughter, Elaine, and it turns out she was church librarian at their former church on the east coast. God bless you, Joyce, for discovering this new person to help us out in the Mustard Seed Library. Her gifts are very much welcomed!!!!!!! But I still think we lay people could bring ourselves up to snuff and possibly learn to be as discerning as Pastor Maddox, though he will have the final decisions. So, for that reason, I hope you will all continue to bear with me and finish the "Breakaway" book on prayer and help to get some kind of handle and understanding on things here for the Mustard Seed Library. If you ever want to read the whole blog it is http://mustardseedlibrary.blogspot.com Again, thanks for your responses--they are very helpful!!!!! As with everything in the church I suppose, librarian work should be a communal undertaking and not an individualistic one.
God bless,
Sharon
