That was the invitation for Caleb’s birthday party.Birthday is Monday.Party scheduled for today at the park.It rained a lot last night.Looks like the party’s moving to the house!I think I like that better anyway. Easier to decorate.Pictures to come.And has it really been a freaking year?!Crazy.
Last week I put up three seperate posts about the volunteers at the Monterey Bay aquarium and why they volunteer. I asked myself what we can learn to ignite a passion and commitment in our volunteers. A few days later, I got an e-mail from one of the directors at the aquarium. Kinda fun, eh? […]
Being in ministry, it’s easy to start feeling like life is just going a hundred plus M.P.H. There’s always something to do.

So again, I don’t claim to be an expert on volunteer recruitment or maintenance. Rather, I am taking some time this week to reflect on what it is that I think might drive people to give their time as staff at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Hopefully these things can help me to become a better […]
