I am currently finishing my teaching role at Toccoa Falls College to begin an administrative position as VP for Student Development. I have been at TFC for 10 years teaching CE and Youth Ministry. I have a passion for late adolescent education, particularly spiritual formation.
Being in administration really does open up interesting issues. It can be painful when ytou are "the enemy" because you are "The Administration." But it also an oportunity to do some different things and minister in different ways. I've been a dean here for about 6-8 years I suppose. You finally do get used to it.
Nice pictures. I'm offically jealous. I had a BMW in another life, but I haven't ridden in years. I still miss it.
Hi Doug - I asked about you at NAPCE. I wondered how you were doing and it sounds great that you are moving to VP for Student Development. I am not surprized. It sounds like something you would do. I love your Harley pic. Blessings, Dawn
Friend, V.P., and Countryman, lend me your ears...
I'm encouraging other members like yourself to use this site to also connect people YOU KNOW and MINISTER TO/WITH to one another and to our larger CE/EM Group.
Here's how you could do it:
If you'd like to invite any others in your association here (faculty, others in various groups) feel free to and (a) have them join one of the current groups here and THEN (b) YOU COULD set up a special group for (Fill-in-the-Blank, e.g., Taccoa Falls College or Your Youth Ministry Students or Church) Educators at this location-- and they could join that as well.
If you do that, you could both administer THAT particular group while bringing them into the larger NING site. It's just an idea, but may be helpful in some way.

Serious congrats are in order for your move to VP. ("And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy"). That's a nice look you have in this photo.
Blessings, Friend.
