Well, it has been a LONG time since I was able to post ANYTHING! Personal health concerns, church responsibilities and concerns, and the extended family kinds of stuff have all taken their toll.
Over the next few days, I'll at least post some of the things I have written during my hiatus.
Written by a UM pastor in Western Pennsylvania, this blog reflects my journey in ministry and in life... I've called this MIXED MINISTRIES, because as pastors our ministry to our congregation is never our only task nor our only priority, but rather is always mixed with our primary ministries to our families and ourselves.
About Me
- Dayton D. Mix
- Clarks Mills, Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm a husband, a dad, a son, a grandson, a pastor, & now a grandpa, too! Those are the basic hats I wear in my daily life. I was born & raised in rural Pennsylvania couple of miles from the New York border in a small town, Shinglehouse (Potter County). I struggle with my weight & my own quirks just like everyone else does. I became a United Methodist pastor in 1996 and was ordained in 2003. While I'm officially Methodist, I also consider myself a “charismatic” Christian, as well as an “evangelical”, although not everything identified with either of those labels fits me perfectly. I enjoy genealogy but seldom have time to do much with it. I like playing with eBay. I like to read, watch movies, camp, hike, and talk. I LOVE to write, but usually don't worry too much about formal grammar... instead choosing to write as I probably would speak. And even though I can spell pretty well, I'm a lousy typist, so be gracious. I update my blogs as often as I can, but I have a real life that demands me NOT being at the computer all the time... so there are dry spells!
