New Blog Site

I have started a new blog for Pastors and Church Leaders, called The Poole Hall. I made the decision to start a new blog because this one was too eclectic with posts about family, worship, leadership, bible studies, politics, and more. I will continue to use the this blog, but the new location will be designed more for ministry posts. I have some big plans for my new blog and I hope that you will find it useful for your ministries.

While I may not always stick to this format, I mapped out the following goals for The Poole Hall:
  • Meet Me Monday - I want to share with you some key individuals inside my sphere of ministry. I will attempt to give you some information about them and why they have influenced my ministry. I will also ask you to join me in praying for them, their families, and their ministries. [Note: I have already posted the first Meet Me Monday article, click here to read]
  • Testimony Tuesday - I would like to have a post each Tuesday with a testimony from one of you. How has God made a difference in your life? What is He currently doing? Share His goodness with others so that we can all rejoice in His greatness.
  • Weekly Wrap Wednesday - This is where I plan to share what is going on in the world of ministry. Gathering together articles and ideas from ministry leaders, movers and shakers, and sometimes those hidden gems that need to be brought to light.
  • Teaser Thursday - Any good story needs to have some sound bites that tease you into wanting more. The story we share on Sundays come from the best collection of books available: God's Word. This is where I plan to give you a little info on what to expect on Sunday.
  • Focus Friday - I wanted to have one day where I could focus on any area of ministry: worship, missions, evangelism, discipleship, families, men, women, children, youth, senior adults, fellowship, you name it.
I hope that you will partner with me on this new journey in my own ministry. Share my posts with your friends, family, or church leaders. Comment on posts to help us learn and grow in our own understanding. And send your suggestions, testimonies, and submissions to me at The Poole Hall (poolehall @ gmail.com).

Dirty Feet

“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news.” Isaiah 52:7 (NIV) I have never been very comfortable in shoes. It really doesn’t matter whether they have great arch support, ultra extreme amounts of cushioning, or how much they cost. The first thing I do when I arrive home is take off my shoes and stretch my once imprisoned feet by bending them at the arches and wiggling my toes. I then remove my socks and begin to feel my feet relax as the fresh air washes over my tingling, sometimes sweaty, toes. Pretty picture, I know. It must be the right thing to do. A billion Chinese could not be wrong. My mother could not be wrong. After all, she was the one who always told me to, “Take off your dirty shoes before you come in here. I just finished mopping this floor and I don’t want mud tracked all over my clean house.” It became a normal ritual around our house to put the dozen or so shoes away before company was expected. My mother didn’t want dirty f...

Pampered and Pacified

Author J.M. Barrie created the character that never wanted to grow up. Peter Pan, also the title of his famous book, did not want to become an adult and be forced to deal with all of the stress and struggles that came with the transformation. So Peter found his way to Neverland where, along with his lost boys, he could remain a carefree child forever. But those who know the story also know that carefree was not all that it promised for villainous Captain Hook constantly lurked around the corners, and then there was that tantalizing Wendy who stole Peter’s heart before he even knew what hit him. Millions of Americans have seemed to follow in the footsteps of Peter Pan. We have become a nation that no longer values the virtues of adulthood: especially responsibility, strong work ethic, self-dependence, selflessness, and community awareness. You don’t have far to look in our American society before you see lost boys, and girls, running around everywhere. Grown men and women who want ...

Ephesians 5 - Our Life of Love

Image
When I have learned to love God more than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now.” C.S. Lewis In a Nutshell Paul encourages Christians to be imitators of God and to walk in love. Don’t fall into a life of sin, but rather stand against sin and try to expose it. Use your time wisely as you follow God’s will. Let the Holy Spirit direct and influence your behaviors. As you do this, husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church and wives should respect and submit to their husbands. The Power of Example In his autobiography, Benjamin Franklin tells of the time he wanted to convince the citizens of Philadelphia to light the streets at night as a protection against crime and as a convenience for evening activities. Failing to convince them by his words, he decided to show his neighbors how compelling a single light could be. He bought an attractive lantern, polished the glass, and placed in on a long bracket that extended from the f...
