I’ll definitely contribute. I think the idea of starting on individual blogs is a good one. As far as the lectionary goes, I say let those use it who will and those like myself who work best by pulling things out of the air can do that, too.

My only question with this is how we will make sure everyone knows whose turn is next and where/when the next one will be posted.

An alternative suggestion is to have a web ring, but I’ve no idea how to set one up.

Yeah, I know all about the mouse screaming how we need a bell on the cat.

Whatever the group consensus (did i spell that right?) is would be fine with me. although, since i am a lectionary preacher, i would prefer that.

as far as the myers-briggs goes, i’m an E, although I hang out close to the middle, and then I am a raging NFP. STJ really didn’t stand a chance when it came to me.

Yes! Count me in! Yes Yes Yes.

Lectionary would be good. very good.

XNFJ, here. My I/E are almost perfectly balanced.

Group Blogging is OK, as well as linking on individual pages.

This all sounds good to me, though either someone will have to help me with html or we will need code words in the entry titles so that people know what is what…as you can see…

I’m strong E, moderate N and F, and strong J (though the first time I took this test 15+ years ago, I was an ENTJ…I call the T to F shift, my Coming Out move.)

I like the idea of posting at our own blogs until we see if this takes off. I have no preference either way regarding the lectionary. I don’t preach regularly, so I’m not spending a lot of time with the lectionary as it is.

I’ll be happy to “wait in the wings” or “warming up” or whatever other metaphor you want to use.

E/INTP here. Off the charts on N and P. I’m on the border with E and I, probably a great deal more I since I started the PhD though.

martha, when my kids were young i scored a bit j too. i think i needed to be j to keep the ship afloat at that time. now that they’re on their own, i’m free to be p.

I have to post, just to see my reply on the grey.

I’ll be away next week (yay!) and won’t be preaching (if we’re going lectionary), but I will have the computer along and look forward to discussions, wherever they occur.

And I’m an ENFP: moderately E, very much N and F, just a teeny bit P (and when my kids were small, i used to score teeny bit J, interestingly).

Well, let me ask this–would those who are interested (both contributors and cheerleaders/commenters like PPB) prefer a group or individual blog? I’m OK either way, although I’ll have to find room in my brain for another URL/password! LOL

Or, I suggest we start on our own blogs, and when/if things get going or we hit critical mass, we could formalize it with a group blog. I know I’m good at the idea part and the follow through is sometimes spotty. (Why yes I’m an N on the Myers-Briggs; why do you ask?)

Why don’t I get us going next week, with Friday Mom waiting in the wings. (I was going to use a baseball analogy, “with FM warming up,” but theater is much more me).
