methodist musings

My name is Rob. I hold degrees in Criminal Justice and Social Science Education for grades 6-12, but I’ve been led into ministry. I’m still not sure why, but I also know that I don’t have to understand…you can reach me through email at Rob@MethodistMusings.com. Hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing.  While this site holds some of my societal rants, it’s as much a tool for your sharing as mine.  We learn best through discussion, and I know I’ve got plenty to learn from my readers, so please feel free to share your thoughts here.

I’m a youth worker. I minister to teenagers from 6th grade through high school and love what I do.  I also work with the camping ministry of the Illinois Great Rivers Conference. I help develop curriculum, training for summer counselors, and evaluations with a team of great people. I’m a tech nerd. I manage three websites for church and two for myself. I enjoy design, both for web and print. I help coordinate marketing efforts for youth, young adult, and camping ministries. I’m a disciple. I try to share the love of Jesus with those around me. I’m also a professional photographer. I own a small business and am the lead photographer for another company.I’m a Christian. That doesn’t mean I’m perfect…It means I’m broken, and I need Jesus to help me. I don’t always do things right. I’ve lived a life with sin, and will continue to sin, even with Jesus. The more I live, the more I realize I don’t have the answers.  Jesus helps me get through life day by day.
