Two Journals
I've been keeping a spiritual journal since I was 17. Yesterday, i got introduced to the idea of a "management" journal from this book I borrowed from the seminary "Managing the Congregation: Building effective systems to serve people". I still don't feel attracted to the word "management" (even though the book is redeeming the word for me!) so I'll just call it my "ministry journal" for now ...
"The management journal is a log of what you are experiencing in your work-- the critical incidents that have happened in ministry -- key people, conversations, decisions and experiences: and what you are thinking about these. Just as important is the expression of your feelings about these incidents." (p. 35)
